not me. im going to do the real work of commenting on social media. So gonna fix stuff.

It’s honestly a pretty good rallying call. I recently retired the OG sign, but this has been my go-to protest slogan for the past year, inspired by Musk:

National Shutdown, tomorrow.

general strike happened because of the visibility of those protests. The world socialist web site was at the columbus no kings protest handing out fliers and a booth, and i'm sure there were communists around

protests give people permission and reduce the social anxiety to speak out when they see the numbers in them. Its a lot easier to speak up at your workplace about events when theres a massive protest walking past your place of business

protests can beget direct action and shouldn't be criticized when they do. 50501 has been coordinating ice watches and observations that put all the cameras there when violence occurs. I know people want to open carry at these protests ever since Pretti was killed. If everyone is concealed carrying it feels like a 1v30. If everyone is open carrying it may look like a 50v30

The one I went to had a massive contingent of highly vocal/visible Palestine folks. ✊

Please don't spread FUD about direct actions against the Trump regime. In some small towns, Democrats are the only game in town, and can control the protest agenda. In large cities, these protests are organized by a coalition of organizations, with Democrats playing a much smaller role.

If someone at the march has a problem with Palestinian liberation, you can always tell them to fuck off or you can find a section of the march where you're in good company. I have never seen a 1k+ person No Kings march without Palestinian flags.

What does this even mean? There isn't a security checkpoint that will turn you away. If you wanted to, you could show up with a sign that says "God save the king. I love the Donald." There isn't some single entity that will say you're breaking the rules, you've just got to deal with the consequences of your actions.

That being said, the crowd is a blend of leftists and non-establishment liberals, I would be surprised if anyone took a Zionist stance.

Lastly, read the room. Yes, Israel is still continuing to commit genocide. That's not the top priority of the protest. This feels like going to a pro-choice rally and carrying a sign about climate change. Our views are likely aligned, but that's not our current focus.

source?

don't doubting you, too tired to check myself

National Shutdown, this Friday.

Seriously

Week days are also when the least number of people living pay check to pay check can afford to show up.

National Shutdown, this Friday.
