They don't own the flag. It belongs to all of us. We should all reclaim it.

I don't know where mom got them, but there must be 100 paper clips around here that are like 5 inches long and indestructible. For people who ask me about mine, I will explain the significance and hand one over.

Yes. From the start (trumps birth) he can be forced to more inappropiate behavior and worse, simply by getting close and personal. Look how easy it is to satisfy his ego....just as easy to make him "show his a**." I have been torn that of course, peoples lives are being destroyed if not wiped out by his tantrums. But the U.N. rant proves he's leaking out, they are losing control but will be forced to defend absurdity.

I’m no longer allowed to wear non-corporate approved pins on my vest at work. (In the current climate, I’m not naming my employer anymore.) You can bet your ass I put a paper clip on it as soon as I got to work today.

Paperclip - The ultimate symbol of resistance in World War II ...

The Norwegian paperclip "resistance" referred to a subtle, non-violent protest against the Nazi occupation of Norway during World War II, where people wore paperclips as a symbol of solidarity and unity, signifying that they were "bound together" like paper clips bind sheets of paper. Although the paperclip itself was not an invention of Johan Vaaler, the Norwegians embraced it as a symbol of their shared patriotism and resistance against the occupying forces. The act of wearing paperclips was a discreet act of defiance that could lead to punishment, as the German occupation forces eventually outlawed the practice.

Symbolism of the Paperclip:

Unity and Solidarity: Wearing paperclips served as a visual symbol of the Norwegian people's solidarity and unity against the Nazi occupation, showing they were "bound together".

Anti-Authoritarianism: In Norwegian, paperclips are called "binders," which added to their symbolic meaning of binding people together.

Norwegian Pride: There was a prevailing belief that the paperclip was invented in Norway, making it a patriotic symbol of national pride for Norwegians.

The Paperclip as a Symbol of Resistance:

Silent Protest: The paperclip movement allowed for a quiet, non-violent, and discreet form of resistance against the authoritarian government.

Banning the Symbol: The Nazi authorities eventually became aware of the paperclip protest and outlawed wearing them, leading to arrests and punishments for those who continued the act of defiance.

Spread and Revival: The movement spread among teachers and students and has been revived in more recent times as a symbol of peaceful protest against authoritarianism and unfair government changes.

I have just bought a bunch of paper clips at the dollar store!! I am wearing one but the rest I drop one on the counter at a store. I drop one at the front door of a store and anywhere else I am going today and will continue everyday. Spread the word 💪🇺🇸

Thanks for sharing the history. I was given a paperclip during the first No Kings march and I've been wearing it since. This town has a Norwegian heritage, as do I, so especially apt.

I have a paper clip on my purse, on the shirt that I work out in and when I put on a top to wear for the day, I just put a little paper clip on it. So far nobody’s asked me about it so either they don’t notice or they’re too afraid to ask. I just want to tell them but oh well. I have patience. I can wait😊

He gets away with not paying anybody anything. He didn't even pay for the places he held his first election run at. He never pays for anything. But now he's a billionaire, he can afford to. But, my guess is that he still won't.

Great idea, but to the best of my knowledge, the woman hasn't collected a penny of those damages due her, has she? He's tied it all up in court cases, hoping he'll outlive her.

"HE's tied it all up in court cases, hoping he's outlive her." Both phrases go with the "he." I always hated diagramming sentences, so I can't recall the academic way to describe it except to say that where I have a comma, I think you were "hearing" a semi-colon. Does that clarify it?

Weaponize the paperclip! Will it fall under the category of lethal weapon or first amendment expression... kind of like the open carry laws. Wear your rights in public. The paper clip could become useful...! Peace y'all!
