Just over two dozen souls braved subzero temperatures in Girdwood Saturday to register dissatisfaction with the way Donald Trump is handling federal affairs.

Bundled against the wind and passing "Hot Hands" around, protesters received overwhelming support from motorists—thumbs ups, waves, and honks.

Organizer Emma Kramer said she was disturbed by news that the United States and Israel attacked Iran, but didn't have time to make a sign specific to that issue.

So she grabbed one of about 20 she had prepared. 

This one read, "Love thy neighbor and love thy Constitution".

"We're keeping opposition to the Trump regime going," Kramer said of the monthly rallies. "We like catching folks as they're coming into town. It's good to see Girdwood's got soul."

Paul Crews brought yellow and blue flags to show support for Ukraine. 

"Someone's gotta show support for Ukraine and it's not the government," he said.

Despite a biting cold, protesters stood at the corner of Alyeska and Hightower for more than an hour. Jacky Graham held out for most of that time before bundling up her sign to leave.

"It's fogging cold," she said under a halo of breath.
