i don't know if anybody here cares but for the last 5 days or so turkish people all over the country have risen to resist against tyranny and lawlessness. hunderds of thousands, if not millions, are out in demostrations to retrieve rule of law and free political prisoners (istanbul mayor ekrem imamoğlu was jailed on faux charges which led the people to take the streets). not so surprisingly, peaceful protesters, most of whom are university students, were met with police brutality; being targeted by harsh lynchings, pepper spray, plastic bullets, pressurized water/pepper spray mix sprayed directly onto demonstrators by toma vehicles etc. thankfully no lives have been lost yet but injury reports are constantly flowing onto social media.

turkish stock market has lost billions in value, along with the national bank's reserves. thr currency has also commited a nosedive.

Republicans at a town hall in Spokane, WA angrily demanded aggression against Canada cease.

Their cowardly Congress critter is now whining that he wants to have telephone town halls instead. People are too angry at the fascist shit he's supporting. Boo hoo.

Protests against DOGE pop up across East Tennessee following federal employee layoffs

Two #protests were held in #Knoxville against #DOGE and #Tesla. Another was held in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

"People across East #Tennessee gathered to protest the #Trump Administration, #ElonMusk and the Dept of Govt Efficiency.

Americans who tell me that "there are plenty of protests" but complain that "the mainstream media is not talking about them" are kinda cute.

So, if the mainstream media is not talking about it:

1. Your protest is not being enough and if it's not talked about, it's non-existent, the point of a protest is that it's being talked about.

2. Maybe you don't protest the right way.

3. Maybe protesting is not the right kind of action (is it even "action" is the media is not talking about it?)

"Part of the reason people are coming out is because they feel it’s having a real impact on Elon’s pocketbook."

"activists and regular citizens around the nation (and world) have been showing up to #Tesla showrooms to #protest Musk’s actions & #DOGE generally. What started as small #protests have grown to well-attended #demonstrations in many different states."
