Daley Plaza?  Maybe he will come to Dealey Plaza for a photo . .  um . . opportunity.

Also, Faber College actually had graduates?  Who knew?

Was downtown for other things and just did some casual protesting. Very calm crowd. A lot of boomers which was a pleasant surprise

What do people hope to accomplish with these protests? Trump and co don’t care (if people even let Trump see them). The GOP doesn’t care (they support P2025). MAGA is all in on anything Trump does and chalks these protests up to Trump derangement syndrome. It seems like a waste of time and energy.

Every journey begins with a first step...so they say.

Tariffs which Congress can revoke, so turnip isn’t the only target; and violence opens the door to martial law.

I am onboard with a strike. These protests might spark such an event. Confidence, as we have been reminded, is contagious.

Can't argue that logic!

Probably the desired end result of this entire undertaking.

Hugo is right. A general strike is the way.
But I'll believe it when I see it.

Can’t strike if you are laid off cause the economy is in the shitter.

Yes! The criticism of people actually taking public action because they're not doing it to some strange standard is idiotic.
Somebody does something more than I do? I'll just clap. 

My question wasn’t meant as a criticism - I just genuinely did not see the point. If it’s a starting place - great. If it’s for the feels for those folks - also good.

I know how you feel about Ronnie Reagan, but the last chance we had at a general strike was when the gutless piece of shit Lane Kirkland didn't call for one in 1981, and left the air traffic controllers twisting in the wind. He could have brought Ronnie to his knees and completely changed the trajectory of unions. My pops was always on strike during that time. Pipe fitters striking? Electricians? Carpenters? All the trades strike in solidarity.

If we really want to make this visible, people need to be in South Florida impeding Trump's access to golf courses.   If he had to sit in the Beast  beacuse the roads were blocked with tens of thousands of protesters it would make the news and it would rattle him.   Then, do it when he's on the way to Air Force Once for the ride back to D.C.   Ring the White House perimeter with thousands and make him remember what the Lafayette Square protests looked like.   

Make him uncomforable.  Tempt him into forcing an error like trying to clear out the protesters again.  Somethign that the media, no matter which side, can't ignore.

Peaceful is good.   But I think some violence is going to be necessary.  By both sides.

Thank you for posting these.  If you scrolled regular media outlets, you would hardly know there was anything going on at all.  Fuckers.

There is some part of me that’s chasing a cheap high and some just wanting the LULz from creative signs. Anything I learn that might work to get a non-voter to the polls is a bonus. Yea, it cost me a Sat morning, but I’m in a walking boot and can’t do much anyway.

Sadly a lot more than my lazy ass is doing.  Good for them; boo for me.

I am being more outspoken at work, but that don't count for shit either.

God damn right.  It's the only thing that will get their attention by hitting them in their pocket books.

Fuckface has destroyed the economy and they still suck him off. I am not sold a general strike works.

I'm 100% behind the protests, but in the end the only thing that matters is the ballot box. There are big rallies and momentum for Kamala in October, but more ignorant maga people came out to vote and we got what we got. Wake me when all the marches, rallies, and momentum doesn't get a fucking idiot elected.

I’m pretty sure I saw somewhere credible that it’s statistically impossible for turnip to have won all 7 swing states. He also said something like muskrat did his fixing in Pennsylvania. 
 

I’ll go to my grave believing their accusations about stealing the election were confessions, just like every other fucking accusation they make.

We are throwing the most advanced health science research system into the sea and have turned over our public health infrastructure to quacks and crooks. We are destroying our prosperity to sate the president’s desire to play at 19th century political economy. We are blithely ignoring the potential for war with former allies as Trump crows about annexing Canada and Greenland.

Does my soul good to see all the protests across the country today. And as others mentioned, it’s gotta start somewhere.

I just donated to Mike Levin. My district is competitive, and his GOP opponent swallows every drop of Trump's load.

If a phone bank needs someone to pick up a few sandwiches or make some coffee, I'll help.  But to send straight cash with no oversight...

No offense taken Imma. I just don't believe that anything will happen with this dude in office. Trump had to have a "get off the field" guy to keep him from giving orders to shoot protestors. He is deporting college kids that peacefully protest, and holding their Uni's hostage financially. Same dude was laughing about Musk firing protestors at Tesla. The only thing that will get through will be tearing the motherfucker up.

If every black man protested with an AR15 and sunglasses we would have gun reform.

Maybe. Or maybe we’d just have a bunch of dead black guys.

Our passports are going to be about as valuable as Russia’s have been the last 3 years. Can’t leave; must stay here and sew buttons on shirts. 
 

 

They absolutely should. We are totally throwing away our global position and all the sycophants in the administration think the rest of the world is as gutless as they are.

Yeah I'm not sure what this even does. Protests need to be peaceful but completely disruptive to something to work. Everyone going out and being pissed off that things aren't going well isn't gonna do shit but make people feel like they did something. 

These protests should happen any time doge tries to enter a building or when they try to close a park etc. 

protest on Saturday in the loop mean absolutely nothing in Chicago

@immamac

why do you still allow shitposting Republicans , like @Wulaw Horn, to steal @UTPhil2006 Mortgage business on the website? Phil had one of the longest running threads before the  crossover and nobody ever heard a public story about why that asshole Gabe got a sponsored thread. Why we get regulated to seeing this dickhead pat himself in the back with pictures of dumbass trophies and hope for economic calamity to make business good for himself bothers everyone.

I have a client that's an AA flight attendant, and she won't bid LHR any longer because the last few trips have been a beating for the crew.

Heathrow has always been that way, but when we start harassing Mexican crews, it's obvious going down south. Same treatment and justifiable.

My wife went to the Austin protest, and my daughter walked down to the capitol to join her. Someone gave her a bumper sticker, which she put on the back of her jacket that said something like: “Christians have waited 2,000 years for the Antichrist, and when he showed up they stood in line to buy bibles from him.”

 

I'll go cornball on this. I'm heartened by people taking action. I bet your wife and daughter are great people. I congratulate you on your part in this.
