A picture can go viral in a millisecond, with folk from Fiji to France talking about its content and meaning.
That's the aim of the Brexit rally. The third Brexit anniversary action will be bigger than January 31, 2020, bigger than the Supreme Court Verdict Day and possibly provide the world with images and snapshots that say a thousand words.
The below picture is from Hogmanay celebrations in Edinburgh - I can't wait to see it with Saltires and banners.
Will you be attending? Let us know as our reporters will be there and we hope to hear your thoughts on the erosion of democracy at the hands of Westminster, meet your Yes group, or just have a blether.
Elsewhere in the Yes movement, there has been further division caused by supporters of Yes supporting Section 35. Here is one of our columnists weighing up if the two are mutually exclusive.
Another deliberation of opinions being questioned over are by Scottish Labour. Can you support and argue for the union, but fimly disagree with Section 35 and the denial of democracy?
I'm sure that question is being asked by its MSPs this week who have stood for trans rights, spoke out against the order issued by Westminster and against Starmer - all opposite of their UK counterparts and party leader, Anas Sarwar MSP.
Wednesday night saw a protest outside Downing Street in support of trans rights and more rallies are taking place in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.
The denial of Holyrood's power is being heard widely across the UK as the Tories use trans people to deflect from the NHS and cost of living crises'.
The only plus is those elsewhere in World and the British isles are questioning whether Scotland is being ruled over, right after the Supreme Court Judgment and just before Brexit Day.
We urge you to get involved on 31 January, light a candle, use #LightsOn.
Mutiple groups have organised events they are publicising or small gatherings for members so get in touch with your local group and check if something is going on that Tuesday.
You could even get in touch with your local MSPs, MPs and councillors and ask them what they are doing in support of the Brexit anniversary action by Yessers...

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
