Paper Clip Protest

This morning, I read the latest Substack post from Joyce Vance titled “Paper Clip Protest”. Author E. Jean Carroll suggested that people wear paper clips to protest Trump:

“Comely Reader! I suggest we all start wearing the paper clip. Subtler than a red hat, more powerful as a CONNECTION,” she wrote, explaining they were also worn during World War II as a sign of resistance against the Nazis.

I liked the idea very much, and bought a pack of colored paperclips. I am currently wearing a yellow paperclip, but I think orange would be a better contrasting color (also goes with “El Orange”, another term for Trump).

I also have purchased PaperClipProtest.com, and hope to roll out a website soon (as soon as that darn DNS can transfer to my hosting service). Stay tuned for more info!
