BTW really loving the updates from #Minnesota. they showed out to #NoKings even though Indivisible cancelled the event.
this is important.
a mostly white, suburban crowd decided they didn’t need permission to protest fascism. minnesotans decided the moment was more important than the fear of fascist #MAGA #terrorism.
to those of you who carp about the comforts of the hegemonic majority: if not the hegemons, who?
this is what a point of sociological inflection looks like.
#nokings day. No way, no how. 🖕🏼 🍊 🤡

In 1953, Iran had a democratically elected prime minister, Mohammad Mossadegh, who committed what, in the eyes of the British Empire and the United States, was an unforgivable sin: he nationalized Iran’s oil industry.

@grammasaurus Even with crowd shots, you have to be really careful. Faces can still be easily recognized in hi-res crowd shots.
You can always cover visible faces in a crowd (with opaque shapes or emoji, not just blur/warp/pixel filters which can be surprisingly reversible nowadays) before posting it. Even if that's a lot of tedious photoshopping you have to wait until you're home to do at your desktop, it's worth the effort to protect folks who need it.
Some of you protesting are far too into publicly posting identifiable pics and videos of folks in protest crowds without good reason.
If you brought a camera to the protest point it at the authorities, not your compatriots. Document and publicize incidents of abuse, but don't facilitate your fellow protestors being identified and punished for showing up. Assume every face you post will be recognized and catalogued. They're not there to be your photo op.
