On Billboards

I have lots of questions. I consider my current ideas to be somewhat selfish, as I am seeking a physical way to fight back for my own satisfaction. But, going forward, even the tiniest action might help. So, while I would wish this to be something grand, I am visuallizing a "shoot and scoot" with billboards.

Does anybody know extra knowledge about billboard image mapping, or signage projection? Any references, or legal knowledge in particular, would be welcome. I can't find anything that tells me definitively how those large building projections are done. So far, I have discovered smaller devices that can project 150 feet, which realistically speaking, is probably more my speed. Do you need to be in a public area to avoid trespass charges? That makes sense. Could you mount it on a car? How do people do it in terms of logistics?

I think I can figure out pulling or mounting a mobile mini board.

I am going to pick 5 topics for public education, or at least my say on stuff. 1) against the appalling idea of exiling Palestinians from Gaza so trump can take it over for his own personal resort. 2) against musk for invading privacy 3) the coming depression 4) illegality of trump's regime 5) vote Blue for coming Midterms; what Hitler did to inflict WW2 on us.

Support of the general public in terms of food security is also very important to me. That may be my thing. I want positive, short comments for an LED board for everything. Also, support of people who have stepped up, like the Bishop. Or, something.

I am open to suggestions on any aspect. I feel that people need to be made aware, or at least engaged in thinking about their POV. Shiny objects attract. They're going to read a mobile billboard or building projection, and then their brain is imprinted with what to us is the coming reality, as well as what trump has done.

I think that even just holding a sign on a street corner is pro active. Seems crazy (the world is ending) but power to the People. There are far too many people willing to shut down proactive actions to get rid of trump. Blitzing trump et al. with legal filings is a very good way to keep them overwhelmed, but it is very expensive.

Why does blitzing us with shocking MAGA actions work for them in making us fatigued, but we can't do it back to them? They aren't better than us, although being crazy helps with stamina. Still, we could do it back. Let them get the broader picture of public disapproval.
