Live rounds pulled on unarmed protesters today at the ICE facility in Portland, Or.
Putting aside everything else that's wrong with streaming platforms, why is there still no "Report" option in Tidal or Spotify? A quite regular occurence is artist pages and New Releases playlists including tracks from impersonators with the same name. Absolutely no way to fight it.
The reporting on #nokings by #cnn is puzzling. Been watching for the past 2 hours. The only shots they are showing is from one intersection in #losangeles where the police are chucking some gas canisters towards demonstrators. And one corner in #newyork where nothing happens except some 300 police standing around waiting, plus a decidely dissapointed #shimonprokupecz trying to stir things up.
No shots at all of the hundreds of thousands I know are marching in #portland or #philadelphia etc
Weird
The scale of the rally in Portland is MASSIVE. Simultaneously crossing the Morrison and Hawthorne Bridges in one long parade of democracy. Tens of thousands of people. #NoKings

Chicago. Ten city blocks!!

#nokings

Yesterday DHS Police deployed this green smoke in addition to teargas, pepper balls, and flash bang grenades in Portland, OR outside of the ICE facility.

Today’s symptoms reports from people exposed last night so far include: flu like symptoms, asthma attacks, nausea, someone has said their eyes still haven’t cleared up and they’re having issues seeing today, multiple unexpected periods, cramping, breathing issues, smokers saying it hurts too much to smoke, sneezing blood. This is not including massive bruises, welts and swelling on many people

We are probably going to need this sign today, unfortunately #NoKings

Stop the Israeli assault on Iran!

I ran across somebody with a sign very far away from the San Francisco demonstration, and she had put seven lines of text on (a clipboard sized piece of cardboard for a general idea) each line had at least one fuck in it.

I quipped it could be spiced up with a few more fucks

@GhostOnTheHalfShell
It’s great to see people who still have plenty of fucks to give! #nokings #uspol

@pluralistic Stay safe Cory! Looks like people are getting "activated".

@pluralistic Off-topic fun fact: The Hague is a city, and "The" is part of that city's name.

(And it's the city that houses the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, of course. And also the Dutch government.)

@VincentTunru @pluralistic Of course, you can also say – and write – 's-Gravenhage 😉
@pluralistic "German Problems / French Solutions" is kind of brilliant. [thunk]

Germans dont deserve this

@randomized @fitzscott @pluralistic Well, we (e.g. people like Carl Schmitt) provided the playbook.
@randomized @fitzscott @pluralistic We had such a problem and I’d had to be solved with a lot of outside help. Nasty experience, should not be repeated.

French Solutions turned into a real series of nightmares. First the aristocrats, for whom I shed no tears, and then anyone who didn't agree with various committees or eventually Robespierre. Then they got Napoleon. Maybe we save those solutions for just a bit.

@pluralistic German Problems, French Solutions. 🙌

My personal favorites from my local protest:

"ICE MELTS IN THE CALIFORNIA SUN"
"IF THIS WAS REALLY ABOUT GETTING RID OF CRIMINALS WHY DID YOU ELECT ONE AS PRESIDENT"
"I didn't say the words 'with liberty and justice for all' every fucking day just to watch this happen"
"WHY IS A DRAFT DODGER THROWING HIMSELF A MILITARY PARADE"
