1 year of lib No Kings protests: Nothing happens
1 single day of general strike: Heads are rolling
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.
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.
source?
don’t doubting you, too tired to check myself
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.
The one I went to had a massive contingent of highly vocal/visible Palestine folks. ✊
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.
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.
