I think this might be my favorite so far

A boots-on-the-ground report of a protest that took place in L.A. on Wednesday, June 11th : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2_1BHfgs2A

It paints a more accurate reportback of what is actually going on in Los Angeles. As expected, what is being painted as an insurrection is very very short of being the case. Mass media have been showing the same images in a loop because there's nothing to show, really.

Well, at least for the time being.

Some photos from our local No Kings Protest & march!
Thank you everyone who organized & showed up! You all were wonderful! We all stayed safe & hydrated. I think we had about 400 attend (it was a rural area so not bad I think!)
Thanks again everyone! Be safe, be strong!

We made some new signs for our local No Kings protest tomorrow!
I had to wrap them in plastic wrap tonight because we might get rain tomorrow. Maybe it'll hold off for us. Good luck everyone & please be safe!

For everyone going to the #nokings #protest tomorrow, here is a guide, both PDF and video versions. The sections on protest roles and coordinating based on what type of protesting you are willing to engage in are particularly useful:
#resist #fucktrump #fuckfascists #howto #fightback

Fighting fascism is kind of like doing improv comedy.

You don't do it to be cool & the name of the game is "Yes AND".

Please don't tell people that peaceful protesting is useless or that they have to remain non-violent.

This is an all-hands on deck and whatever might work situation. Any energy you spend telling someone not to do something is not being spent stopping fascists.

Really feels like LA Home Depot could be the last, desperate attempt of an increasingly unpopular regime to maintain power and the illusion of legitimacy. Which is a sentence I never thought I'd ever write.

Between prices still being high, benefits being at risk, children being arrested by ICE, parents being separated from their children, it feels like we're approaching an actual tipping point.

Remember: when they hit you, hit back harder. Bullies don't like it.

In case people have forgotten, I must remind y'all that Umbrella Man from the George Floyd protests in Minneapolis was a confirmed white supremacist accerlerationist.

This one really grinds my gears. Who's the violent threat here? My gut says the armed people chasing the person exercising their rights.

BTW, the most American thing possible is to say "No fucking kings!"

A quick heads up. If you are a Zionist, and you interact with me, you will be blocked with prejudice. #FuckZionism #FuckIsrael #FuckFascists #StopFuckingKillingPeople #StopGenocide

Tomorrow looks like a lovely day and I’m growing increasingly frustrated with the state of our nation, so I may bike into #WashingtonDC for the #MayDay movement on the #NationalMall.

LMK if you want to join me!

Dear sentient #Fediversizens, IGNORE and #Report this pathetic #Putin #Bot.
It hilariously refers to #Zelensky and his brave #defenders of #democracy as #Nazis.

I'd like to give some time for my mutuals and accounts I follow on Fostodon to jump ship somewhere else but I think I'm gonna have to defederate from them soon. I can't in good consciousness follow an instance that defends people in a position of power who disagreed that all people should have rights or call certain groups of people's existence too political to talk about.

Trump of the North plans to end "woke ideology". This idiot is so out of touch with reality. We saw what this meant for the USA. Is this really what we want in Canada? A Prime Minister who only wants those things that agree with white heterosexual Christian beliefs? I know we can do better in Canada!! Get out there and vote!!

I’ve been sort of subconsciously avoiding this site for my own mental health. My desire to stay informed is being overwhelmed by my desire to stay somewhat sane and not depressed 24/7.

I hope to be more active on here in the future, but it really depends on that future, soooo….

Some of y'all were not raised on Star Trek and it shows.
