Until we are willing to what’s actually necessary these are largely performative morale boosters. I’ll come out. I won’t enter the implicit “funniest sign” contest. Because none of this is doing anything but make us white liberals feel good. Also giving our emails to all the Dem PACs.

Excellent thread from a social movements scholar on how mass marches build movements: bsky.app/profile/drli...

Dr. Lisa Corrigan@drlisacorrigan.bsky.social

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Future humans... IF America falls, #REPUBLICANS ARE TO BLAME. 1st Trump impeachment, 12/18/19 = #Republicans acquitted Trump foments insurrection, 1/6/21 2nd Tump impeachment, 1/13/21 = #Republicans acquitted Trump convicted 34 felonies, 5/30/24 SCOTUS rule Trump above law, 7/1/24 #NoKings

Have not had the time to create your NO KINGS poster? Last minute thinking? Got your back! Free poster art for you to take. Have a fucking great NO KINGS day America! (If you use it post a reply photo from the protest day here, dyakuyu)

Again, what good will do you when they just ignore you? Besides, the DHS funding coupled with the SAVE Act has passed. bsky.app/profile/corp...

In most democratic countries you'd see mass action in the face of such obvious dismantling of democracy. Note to Americans: your quarterly No Kings isn't going to undo this.

After reading this article www.ms.now/opinion/no-k... I have to agree with you."When your protest is built around a metaphor rather than a policy, you’ve handed your opponent an easy exit" We must have a clear PLAN and DEMAND PROTEST to get lawmakers' attention.

ms.nowOpinion | The No Kings protests have everything except an effective pointChristian Schneider: On Saturday, hundreds of thousands — perhaps millions — of Americans will pour into city streets. But will they accomplish anything?

We plan on joining our local No Kings protest regardless of the remedy to show our discontent. And we will be bringing my 83-year-old M.I.L to her very first protest! My forefathers fought 250 yr ago and I will continue the fight for our country.

Show your dislike of Trump, his policies , his lack of intelligence, dishonesty, corruption, by gathering with your fellow Americans and marching in the NO KINGS rally Saturday!! Give him the award of the most disliked President EVER… (He likes awards)

I hope there are VOTER REGISTRATION booths at every single one of the #NoKings3 events. Because we need everyone of those protesters to be VOTING ON #NOV3rd. So we can flip the Majority in the U.S. House & Senate on #Jan3-2027, so the Dems can #DumpTrump in #Feb2027!

You sound like you’re volunteering! Your local Indivisible chapter or Democratic Party club might well be doing that and I bet they need help.
