Title: Over 30,000 turn out for Bernie Sanders, AOC rally in Denver amid push for progressi
Post by: RE on Mar 23, 2025, 01:54 AM
Respectable numbers, but not enough to make El Trumpo nervous. He'll need another order of magnitude before it's big enough to get some pushback. What will be interesting is when his Trumpness tries to use some obscure law or excuse to make the gatherings "illegal".
He's also likely to encourage his MAGAotts to show up at these demonstrations as agents provocateur to turn them into riots, and/or try to link Bernie and AOC to Hamas and call them a threat to National Security if/when the movement takes off.
However, at least there is a start to a resistance movement.
Wonder how long before Trumpolini tries to crack down on the protests? He likes to perpetuate the myth he is super popular, and 1000s protesting every weekend doesn't support his self image.
About 90 days too late. If people would just....THINK...they wouldn't be stuck with the consequences of bad decisions, be it elections, or falling for peak oil in 2005 and discrediting a real thing when it really does happen.
Title: Anti-Trump protests build momentum in Seattle: 'We're just getting louder'

This one joined up with something like 20,000 at the Seattle center. As news coverage is minimal what is the point of protesting? These photos came from a small local paper.
I am keeping track of them and who organizes them. Nothing to get excited about so far. Nothing is focused enough to make change. Knowing that the protest on Capital Hill marched to the Seattle Center did not come from the news.
Free Luigi, he has work to do. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. I'm not sure the marching angry bourgeoisie would agree with me. Yet, as suffering builds some minds will change. I am not angry, I only see the suffering to come before most do.
Let action be taken before the entire country descends into third world anarchy. America is a nation of big talkers. But those who would take action are few and far between. The grim reaper must again walk the nation before courage is engendered.
This is a block south and two blocks west of where the CHOP was. Behind that modern apartment in center screen with gray trim is where the shootings happened, where two died. Four years ago. When the MAGA idiot was President, the last time he was tearing the country apart. Now he does it again.
Today the motherfucker is talking about a third term. He thinks he can be king.
None of his victims are direct, but Trump has a very large body count. It goes to show. An idiot is more dangerous than a bandit. But a bandit who is also an idiot is the worst of all.

Do you think this is how the MIB talk among themselves? Except on a much larger scale of course, but maybe the same basic mindset? Watching, always watching, keeping track, looking for the organizers?

Sure. They've been doing that since the days of the SDS and Weathermen. Further back too with the Wobblies. Easier now with the internet and social media.

Easy enough for the website owners themselves as well. Sort of like a domino effect, "if folks can do it to me, I can do it to anyone who shows up at my site too!". Sort of like....exactly what Haniel did.
You would think that folks who object to what's done to them wouldn't so easily do it to others, wouldn't you? If they meant what they said about it being done to them anyway.
