Planning that for March 28th is like an excuse to let tensions cool before actually doing anything. You want change? You need sustained action and you need to stroke while the irons HOT.
National Shutdown, tomorrow.
1 year of lib No Kings protests: Nothing happens
1 single day of general strike: Heads are rolling
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
Point remains. General Strike over protests.
no disagreement from me there 🫡
March 28th? Why not now?
National Shutdown, this Friday.
To placate the liberal centrists who stand in the way of progress
I’m surprised you didn’t blame Israel. 🙄
I do actually blame Israel and their supporters, the imperial boomerang, the tactics we support elsewhere get adopted by our own politicians to use at home.
Arm up, if possible.
No more nazis may be a more appropriate name
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:
The no kings protests forbid any messaging on israel I hear tell. It belies how useless they will be, led by democrats. Our salvation will not come fighting under these dems and if you do not see that yet, well mean words.
The one I went to had a massive contingent of highly vocal/visible Palestine folks. ✊
Same, was newish in town and that’s how I met the local anti war org, they hold weekly protests every week, since 2003, go to them almost every week.
The last one I went to also. There was a dedicated section along the march route where a local pro-Palestine group was set up. There were speakers after the march, one of which was representing that group as well. A few other speakers also recognized them to much applause.
Perhaps some specific local chapters decided to sweep this issue under the rug, or perhaps the one local to me ignored a directive to do so.
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.
This was in the country.
That tracks. I think you’ll have a better time in the city.
Large protests are a great place to meet allies who can support you building alternatives to ‘politics as usual’ in rural areas too.
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.
Given us support for srael at the time it was not at all seperate issues. It was a main issue for a significant number of people.
source?
don’t doubting you, too tired to check myself
Friends that went to summer ones were told that it was forbidden. Idk how they would forbid it if you did it anyway.
I love saying fuck you to people who complain about my sign.
hey, third time’s the charm? maybe this one won’t be another feckless liberal wankfest
Bystanders beware dipshit apathetic comments like this trying to sow defeatism.
Every No Kings Protest has been successful in spreading awareness and driving down Trump’s popularity.
This matters. Hitler was popular. Trump is not.
The 50501 protests have their own uses, both as a method to show others that there are a lot of people who are also angry and upset with things (someone knowing they’re not alone is important to take any further steps), and as a way to ease people not used to activism into becoming an activist, and hopefully toward meaningful organizing within their community. It’s the start of a pipeline.
Without organizing our owm groups it does nothing. These dems are play acting. They will not stop the republicans. Their mission is to stop any that could stop the republicans. Whatever their reasons for doing so that is the bottom line.
I imagine that if you wanted to organize your own anti-Trump protest instead of attacking someone else’s, you could.
Hey, did you know the peaceful push back in Minnesota has been so strong that they’ve pulled agents out of the city and have reassigned (read: demoted) Bovino?
more than likely Madel dropped out of the governer race and trump backed off from the immigration attacks with ICe. its more than a coincidence. the ice operations in minnesota was suppose to give him brownie points for his election. thats why they drummed up the fraud, immigration, burned to the ground propaganda as soon as Walz dropped out of the race. also because MADEL was offer legal assistance to johnathan ross too.
How is the weather in the warm water port of Corpus Christi, in Texas oblast?
Found the Russian troll.
True, I’ve never once heard an American use the word feckless. Even a well read American would understand that a comment like that makes you sound like a douchebag.
I have.
Waste of energy fighting under these dems’ leadership, do not let these sheep of theirs make you surrender to their doomed to fail opposition.
