What's this?

The poster board section of a Target in #LosAngeles

They're all gone

Why are all the posters gone?

🤔

I was impressed by the number of #American #flags at our #protest

International observers you are entitled to dislike the #flag but domestically we must wrest the #symbol back from #MAGA

#Capitulation and #complacency towards what #bigots falsely claim as theirs is not acceptable

@benroyce As someone looking from the outside, I can say that I do not dislike your flag.

Stay safe, film everything, keep things peaceful. Don't fall for traps. Sometimes there are plants that try to turn protests violent. Isolate/distance yourself from them.

@benroyce Absolutely. Here in the #UK in the 70s and 80s the far-right National Front hijacked the Union Jack, so nobody else wanted to display it for fear of being thought an NF supporter. Thankfully those days are gone. Don't let the MAGAts do the same to your flag.

@benroyce Plus, it is Flag Day. Perfectly appropriate to be waving all the flags.

@benroyce I lived in the US for decades. But I'd forgotten too. I saw it somewhere else today 😆 .

Big respect, love and solidarity from germany!
Even though I personaly don't like national flags I know most US-Americans have a different relation to it. And it's good to see that so many of you are protesting!
Stay strong!

At the march in my city, I saw a man with his family and a sign that said "I GOT THIS POSTER FOR FATHER'S DAY, THANKS TRUMP" and I felt that in my soul. Unlike Trump he has a wife and kids who actually want to be with him, and he has to be at a protest to save the country.

We could all be at a brunch, with no kidnapped neighbors or betrayed allies.
