Did Trump really institute a “no fatties” policy at his Fort Bragg rally??

If John McCain had been alive to watch Trump at this parade after Fort Bragg and deploying the military in LA this week, it would've killed him.

Trump’s military parade today, along with his political rally at Fort Bragg and the deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles, has inflicted serious reputational damage on the United States Army.

"This has been a bad week for the Army for anyone who cares about us being a neutral institution," one commander at Fort Bragg...on the condition of anonymity to avoid retaliation. "This was shameful. I don't expect anything to come out of it, but I hope maybe we can learn from it long term."

Cuomo doesn’t just get to rehabilitate himself from sexual harassment because he’s rich and powerful. He gets to because he’s a man. It’s the same situation for everyday, ordinary men, while women from all walks of life are not just denied justice but punished for asking for it

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

All snark aside about the terrible Atlantic piece in favor of the fascist parade or the general downplaying of #NoKings, if you're going to take action, it's helpful to know that MSM orgs rarely support acts of protest. As a rule, they dismiss protestors or paint them as violent thugs. Be prepared.

It is so outrageously ableist to say we should ban masks & stop people from protecting their health & the health of those around you. COVID is still spreading. People are still dying from COVID. Millions of people are struggling with #LongCOVID. And COVID is just one of many reasons to mask

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

I dunno if like three to five times as many random people were in the streets to protest as there are total members of the entire military (active duty plus reserves) I might make that more than a one-day story instead of the limp, sad-trombone parade he forced on a few of those military members

Curfew was set for 8pm. LAPD started corralling protestors more than an hour before, not letting them leave, so that they could be arrested for violating curfew. Oh, and all nearby Metro stops were closed, so even if they tried, they COULDN'T leave. www.latintimes.com/lapd-accused...

Don't announce online you're going to protest. If you recognize someone at protest, no you don't. Don't fall for "Anyone going to protest?" posts. Don't take selfies. Don't pick fights. Leave phone & plastic home. Write contact phone number on your arm. Learn about kettling. Hydrate.

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

Important for US activists to understand that laws cannot protect you. Armed soldiers are on the steets. They are violently arresting judges and mayors and US Senators. They are kidnapping people from churches, elementary schools, and hospitals. Your only protection today is anonymity, opsec,

The AP News Feed can be viewed...live...on YouTube. And I swear the Cameraman is having a hard time finding stuff to film. The protesters are peaceful. The Police are standing around. The Natty Guard and Marines are nowhere to be seen, and thus, NOT NEEDED IN L.A.!!!

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

There’s brutal irony in the fact that the man who gamed due process to escape justice for dozens of crimes is now using military force to silence protests about due process being denied while calling innocent people the criminals.

I’m not telling anyone how to protest but I am saying the optics of the police and marines being violent against protestors decked out in red white and blue waving American flags would be undeniably bad…

A massive supermarket strike is brewing, with 150,000 workers moving toward a walkout. 56,000 workers in Washington, Idaho and Oregon have voted to authorize strikes at Albertsons and Kroger. Grocery workers across Colorado have also authorized a strike, and more could follow.
