A local paper had some great photographs, all taken by Nicole Hester:

The day before, Rep. Justin Pearson tries to attend a Senate Committee meeting and is barred access by the Sergeant at Arms.

Lawmakers and protesters link arms as the descend the capitol steps.

Once inside the chamber, Democratic representatives continued to stand together with arms linked.

They continued standing together with arms linked as votes were cast.

Democratic representatives take a group photo protesting the redistricting.

Rep. Justin Jones burns a photo of the Confederate flag with the words, We will not go back.

And stomps the ashes.

Additional information: State lawmakers have been gunning for Pearson and Jones nearly their entire terms. Most notably, in 2023, the House expelled them for participating in a protest at the Capitol. Their districts had to have special elections to have them reinstated.

Pearson is one of the plaintiffs of a lawsuit seeking an injunction against the redistricting.

If you were anticipating a cute coupley valentine's video then i fear you have grossly misunderstood Dan and Phil. They have clearly stated that the romantic, loving part of their relationship doesn't belong on the internet. It still shines through in their content but in its core it is only for them. And understandably so seeing their history and also just their style of content.

Also being second hand jealous is really weird and parasocial? Like they are grown adults in a secure relationship of 16 years. They came up with the idea together. They both obviously enjoyed making it. Why are you jealous?

And don't even get me started on the negative comments I keep seeing about the producers. One post was mad that they could be heard laughing in the video?? God forbid someone finds joy in the content they're helping put together and work on. It's almost as if Dan and Phil, entertainers who are comedic and energetic, could be funny and enjoyable to watch!

It's fine to not like a video but a large number of phans seem to think they're entitled to Dan and Phil in some very inappropriate ways. They don't owe us anything! And it's ridiculous, immature, and unfair to set so many specific expectations for your idea of who they are and what you think they should post as content.
