I’m at the No Kings protest in downtown Syracuse, NY where thousands of people are lining both sides of a main street. Cars honk in support as they go by.

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many

This is worth sitting with. Just for instance, I know who gave me the infection that left me bedbound. It does happen. This isn’t an abstraction.

Do you know how many people aren’t protesting today because you’ve disabled or killed them with covid? Real uncomfortable question, I know. What would you do if you knew your personal number (of people you’ve disabled or worse)? Would it matter?

Hey folks if you're wondering why Palestine is connected to our fights against ICE and murderous cops, remember that we send them to Israel to be trained there. I've personally deposed cops who bragged about how much they learned about use of force from these programs. deadlyexchange.org

I thought it was obvious, but maybe it needs to be said: I don’t give a good goddamn whether someone is here legally, illegally, documented or undocumented. If they are here, they are my neighbor & that’s good enough for me. It’s how they treat the people that matters to me. Thats it.

Los Angeles, 20 minutes ago, LAPD on horses charging into crowd. Activists taught me that the extra long wooden riot batons they use are bokken – specialized Japanese swords. (istg)

UPDATE: Organizers are accusing the president of putting on the parade as a show of dominance. The protests were peaceful, but came against the backdrop of assassinations in Minnesota.

Cannot stress enough that the protest in DTLA was completely nonviolent until the local police departments showed up Been in contact with multiple indies currently on the ground who confirmed this. Cops pushed, then started firing riot munitions indiscriminately

The ones tear gassing and shooting stuff at demonstrators are local police right now. This is on Mayor Bass’ hands. KTLA person on the ground said “no idea what provoked this response, it was peaceful before this happened.”

Downdown LA. The poor horses destroy me. The humans all made a choice to be there, to enlist or to protest. But innocent animals had no choice. It should be outlawed. I can't.

In 2023, Russell Vought detailed plans to deploy the military in response to domestic unrest: “We want to be able to shut down the riots and not have the legal community or the defense community come in and say, ‘That’s an inappropriate use of what you’re trying to do." (Published Oct. 2024)

The FBI is offering “a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Vance L. Boelter.” Boelter is a suspect in the targeted shooting of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota.

Has any musicologist ever written about the very American phenomenon of taking very left wing songs and either willfully or unintentionally misinterpreting them to be right wing songs for the sake of state media?

The parade is neither a roaring call to patriotism or tyrannical show of might. It's something much worse--boring

In other words, liberals might wanna ease up their incessant concern for protest “optics” (and obsession with “the right way to protest”) and understand the roles of mobilization/protest differently
