“In a statement, the Northern Police Monitoring Project (NPMP) group and Resist Britain First slammed physical and chemical attacks on non-violent protesters by police concealing their identities and numbers — who then prevented paramedics and ambulances reaching their victims. The groups also pointed out that the force showed no apparent shortage of resource when it came to restricting and attacking anti-extremist counter-protesters — yet allowed fascist marchers to roam and attack with impunity”

Calling himself "a sort of #Mussolini in India", the new Viceroy #LordWillingdon, sworn in #ThisDayInHistory in 1931, began an immediate crack-down on #Gandhi's #nonviolent protests, using whips and clubs, banning the #CongressParty, censoring the press, and arresting thousands.
With no warning, and no order to disperse, British troops opened fire on #nonviolent Indian protesters, killing 530+ in the #JallianwalaBaghMassacre on #ThisDayInHistory in 1919. No punishment was given for this excessive force, as violence is a necessary feature of #colonialism.

Ben, what can everyday Americans do? I feel like the military escalation of the United States might be directly related to the growing number of #nonviolent #protests across our country. Trump is desperate for an opportunity to declare martial law, under which he might be able to legally suspend #voting indefinitely.

The #NoKings 3 march was March 28th, and here we are on April 7th, with Emperor Cheeto threatening genocide. I am so #heartbroken for the people of Iran, and also for the soldiers and sailors of the #UnitedStates #military.

The #GreatMarchOfReturn began on #ThisDayInHistory in 2018. Organized in #Gaza by #nonviolent activists & meant to run from #LandDay to #NakbaDay, they lasted 18 months instead. #Israel killed 223 #Palestinians total & had wounded 13,000 by June 2018, 1400 with 3+ bullets wounds.
