Oh no wish I’d had been there. I’d have laid down with him. I laid down at a hockey game once. The cops were afraid to touch me. I’m a little old lady. They are afraid to injure us. I don’t know what they can charge him with.
That's what I'm thinking. I thought MAGA wanted free speech?
Actually, no, I never thought that, they obviously wanted no consequences like, ooh, being criticised for hatred and for their opponents to be legally muzzled under threat of arrest and imprisonment
Update: he was freed after a few hours, as I would expect, but he knew arrest would circulate his words more widely. Also, presumably he also knew that as a white man and a former NFL player, his risk was mitigated. That's called using your privilege https://archive.ph/8Zu9y#selection-913.0-941.208
Some share of the formerly oppressed will unfortunately seemingly always take away the message not that the boot is bad, but that the boot will always exist, and so next time they will do whatever is necessary to be sure they are the ones wearing it.
Dear @Democrats.org this is what we want y'all doing everyday.
Stop courting voters & start sounding alarms. Stop telling media what to pay attention to & make them pay attention by engaging in civil disobedience like this stand up American did.
cc: @cd13.lacity.gov. Your district is honoring Trump’s name which was illegally installed on the sidewalk in 2007. In your own words you called Trump a “fascist” and “white supremacist.”
Huntington Beach just approved a MAGA plaque for its library. What makes your district any different from HB?
Wiw! This is what needs to happen and every dem with any platform needs to be on tv talking about the very things this American listed. Call out every single nefarious action of this administration and harp on it.
Approaching where the City council was seated.
Despite Kluwe clearly saying he was engaging in peaceful civil disobedience, maga karen member Gracey Van Der Mark said it was “pretty scary for a few seconds.” Because y’know, listening to what you don’t agree with is hard.
She sounds like a horror.
Probably a bot from a Nazi farm. They like to pretend it is politically acceptable to be racist to white people and the bot keeps using that image. Report it if you can.
What's with the police rushing to tackle a guy who simply states a couple of facts and then announces he'll excersise some peaceful civil disobedience? Where's the need for that kind of force?
What weapon did he have? None. He just walked toward the council members and stopped to be handcuffed. It may have been against the rules to approach the members; that is all.
There is a need for a LOT more of this. But the end to MAGA will not be peaceful. All who love the Constitution and our way of life must be willing to fight.
I hate it. I really do. But Trump and
his ruling oligarchs will not yield power peacefully.
Read History.
Law enforcement across this country is so complicit it's almost humorous. They could not wait to jump all over him; nearly foaming at the mouth to do their leader's bidding, even though he is everything they took an oath to protect against.
Chris Kluwe is my hero! Yes! We all need to do what he’s doing. I had no idea Huntington Beach was so MAGA! I used to frequent that place daily on my bike years ago. It was cool then, not anymore. Nazi city now 🤮
Had no idea. I didn’t live there just rode my bike thru there. I always thought the surfers were a liberal lot, and the biker gangs scary, hells angels types. But no, during my rest stops there in between 2000-2010, I never saw anything that resembled KKK.
I live in OC, not far from Huntington Beach. It's one of the scariest & most dangerous cities to go to or through if you're not a White Hetero Male with a trump flag or sticker on your vehicle.
"Kluwe was protesting Huntington Beach's decision to display a plaque at its public library that uses the words, 'Magical', 'Alluring', ´Galvanizing', and ´Adventurous' next to each other to spell out MAGA. All seven members of Huntington Beach's City Council are Republicans."
Good going Chris, you showed courage when you knew you would face hardship because of it. If I could stand, I would, in order to show honor to you and to the words you spoke.
BRUINS FAN just to be clear. I wish I could have afforded to go to U 👏👏👏C👏👏👏L👏👏👏A👏👏👏UCLA Fight Fight Fight! There's some great political activists and Politicians that have come out of UCLA. Plus they've always been the underdogs, always the Fan ✊✊
Huntington Beach is known for its nazism here in Orange County. Apologies to anyone that lives there that didn’t vote for GQPers. Chris Kluwe out here getting into Good Trouble!
Get ready for a whole lot more of this. And if as expected Trump escalates this with a show of force, the gloves have to come off at that point. SCOTUS is on the clock, and next up is the generals and flag officers that lead the military. Do those that are retained back the ones that are fired???
Huntington Beach has long been called “Nazi-town” by those who live near. Their city council has “The Fascist Four”. They are major assholes.
I live up on the bluff in the next town over, and am hoping Global Warming will hurry up and flood all the way up to Brookhurst.
Seems to me like America is going down in complete silence. There's barely a peep from anybody just the same old response to a threat that they don't comprehend.
Hell no! If we had a SCOTUS that wasn't corrupt and compromised by unethical grifters we would have a better chance. Mid-term elections cannot come soon enough - In the meantime Washington Dc May 30- June 1 National Indivisible protest.
Here is something 'we' CAN do: amend your W-4, so nothing is withheld from your paycheck for US income tax. Starve them out until you file next year. If enough participate, you think they won't notice?
Also, funny dude. Back on Twitter be chatted with me briefly through DMs but he kept his DMs locked so he'd reply to me privately so I looked crazy on the TL just for laughs. Got a kick out of it.
Huntington Beach is the grossest city in CA. Give him props for even going there for this. The beach literally smells like shit because the city is so mismanaged.
That's dope as fuck cause Huntington Beach is widely known as Nazi Country. From the surfers, downtown, cops, officials even the public library is falling into racist hands, just anywhere in that city you are facing, literal Nazis, white supremacists, and MAGA.
And that's in OC
It pains me to say this as a Packer fan living in Minnesota….. great job Chris Kluwe! Thank you for fighting the good fight. Loyalty to democracy comes (way way way) before loyalty to football! 💙💜💛
The only correction I add is that the pro-democracy free people of America will not be going down at all. All indications point to it, when the Terrorist trump severs the social contract irreparably then We the People will recommence 1776 immediately. Syrian revolution won't be only rev this century
When someone known - not a politician - speaks, people listen. It gets shared and media picks it up. It’s unfortunate we need a celeb to bring shine a light on what is happening, but we gotta reach these people somehow. The bigger the name, the farther the reach. #goodtrouble
Shades of the '60s. We used to lock ourselves together sit down put chains around us handcuffs ourselves together and went limp. You don't fight back when the police show up, you just stay limp.
#Resistance101
The best thing that I heard today was the senior women showing up to fight w their pickleball paddles.
The worst thing that I heard today was my old boss chanting “The best president that we’ve ever had”. #Organize bc we’re not going to change the MAGAs.
It's not going to change anything. Putting that man back in the White House was the biggest mistake this country could have ever made and it can't be undone all because some people just didn't want a black woman in the White House. Sadly the American Empire is falling.
A true patriot! This is a man that speaks the truth! We needed to stop publicizing rebublicans that all the sudden think what Trump is doing is detrimental to our country. You voted for this, so stop bitching about what Trump is doing to our country. Democrats needed to raise up and let them sink.
Huntington Beach, white and racist AF. I grew up down there and it was not always like that until Reagan era. Capitalists came in and built up that whole area. Was just down there two weeks ago and watched a Latino guy telling an old white racists off. It's going to be very ugly.

We can’t even find eggs to eat.
I thought the US has (had?) freedom of expression.

Wake up. This isnt 1998. Your tactics must adapt.
Huntington Beach just approved a MAGA plaque for its library. What makes your district any different from HB?
But arrested for what? Leaving the podium?

✊🏻✊🏻♥️♥️👏🏻👏🏻
I'm challenging myself - be the change you want to see!!
We're in this together ...
Any interest in interview with him? We need more examples of protesting like this.
He came at the city council members with a weapon.
"Free Speech".
That's why he had to be stopped.
I hate it. I really do. But Trump and

Thank you, Adam, for sharing this.
Why is he being arrested at all?
Powered by @skywriter.blue
Speaking?
For context: Huntington Beach is Nazi central
He posts a lot of valuable info about protesting Thanks for the link
Kluwe is younger than me so I never saw him.
As long as you protest in small numbers they will crush you and you are fucked. Organise in masses and take them down.
I live up on the bluff in the next town over, and am hoping Global Warming will hurry up and flood all the way up to Brookhurst.

He is as good as it gets.
Address please?!
Your comfy life is no longer!
Even if the bee could explain to the fly why pollen is better than crap,
the fly wouldn’t understand.
Now that is a name I have not heard in a looooong time. Nice to see him out their fighting MAGA.
😆
It's -12C in Atlanta. 🤬
And that's in OC

But where are the millions of other Americans who are against the evil that MAGA stands for?
Most seem to be sitting on their hands. 😞
They play the unhealthy father figure so well. Freud would be so proud
The worst thing that I heard today was my old boss chanting “The best president that we’ve ever had”. #Organize bc we’re not going to change the MAGAs.
We're WAY past the time for diplomacy & discussion.
The longer we wait... the bloodier it will be.
