"Erika De La Cruz said she created the Reddit group r/OcalaBlueDots after seeing TikTok users calling for protests in the Ocala area. In less than two months, she said the Reddit community has grown to 280 members and continues to expand alongside the protests.
"We're just trying to get out there and build a community and show that there are people like us who think like us in a predominantly red area," said De La Cruz, who added that she was leading protests of four people less than two months ago."
It was pretty cool, really.... protestors with signs on both sides of the main drag through the entrance to downtown. I didn't know about it, but happened to be driving by, so I got out there for a while. Long enough to wish a Trumper good luck with their Soc Sec.

But it seemed pretty successful considering where it was, and drew a lot of attention on Saturday.

Ticking away The moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours In an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground In your hometown Waiting for someone Or something to show you the way
[Chorus: Richard Wright] Tired of lying in the sunshine Staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find Ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run You missed the starting gun
[Verse 2: David Gilmour] And you run, and you run To catch up with the sun, but it's sinking And racing around To come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way But you're older Shorter of breath And one day closer to death
[Chorus: Richard Wright] Every year is getting shorter Never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation Is the English way The time is gone, the song is over Thought I'd something more to say
[Part II: Breathe (In the Air) (Reprise)]
[Outro: David Gilmour] Home, home again I like to be here when I can When I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells
