Were there ANY reports of the violent left yesterday at any of the protests? 

None that I found when I searched after watching the game. Learned the violent right showed.

I'm not seeing that. Might've been a glitch?

My wife's sign for our son won the day in Round Rock  Everyone wanted his picture. Great turnout, enthusstic crowd for suburban Wilco! Thanks to any surly neighbors who may have showed up to this, it gave me and my family a much-needed sense of community and togetherness we haven't felt in a long time. I was only able to attend for an hour before heading off to work but it put a huge smile on my face for the entire day and I've been thinking about it late into the night. Living in a red district with lifted trucks everywhere and all the maga cultural touchstones shoved in my face constantly has made me stereotype all the people I see at the local HEB or Walmart or parks in our neighborhood to the point where everyone who isn't wearing their leftism on their sleeves is just another fuckin MAGA goon to me, or at least a bothsidser idiot who can't be bothered to pay attention to the arsonists burning it all down around us. I've become miserably judgmental about the strangers who are my neighbors because I see so many assholes in maga 2A copaganda anti-woke shirts, hats, and bumperstickers  that I have gradually assumed that everyone around us supports these GOP ghouls. Seeing all the faces in the crowd from all walks of life and all ages at today's Round Rock protest was a great reminder to me that there are so many average joes and janes in my area who may not look like Portland Antifa, but they are allies in the fight against American fascism. This is what reminds you why your country is worth fighting for.

Ha I had to get y'alls picture. I'll send it to you.

 

I too was at the Round Rock protest (also my 1st) and let me just say ditto to everything Gourmand so eloquently stated above. It was truly heartwarming and much needed boost to my appreciation of my neighbors.

All I've seen is this from Alt National Parks saying 22 MAGA types were arrested. I've looked at a few sites but am not gonna spend much time on it this morning. It's pretty clear yesterday went about as peacefully as it could and just about the most horrifying thing coming out of it was Trump's video, which apparently highlighted Harry Sisson as the main recipient of the dumping. But even the Trump video appears to be downplayed by U.S. mainstream media right now -- it was a publication in India where I found an article about Sisson being the target of the Trump dump.

That's weird. The leaders of the republican party assured us that these were Hate America rallies that would be nothing but riots and looting and burning cars and shit. So strange.

In Denver a few people were arrested for ignoring orders to temporarily disperse. That was it, afaik.

This was also Denver - somewhat lovely video of a magat trying to instigate and then disliking the result.

 

Nice shot of the crucifix around his neck right before he calls them ‘fucking f*ggots.’

My wife and I attended our first-ever protest in downtown Dallas and it was awesome. The last several speakers before the march were great — Kat Vargas and a preacher whose name escapes me and Chad West. It fucking poured on us at beginning but pretty good turnout nonetheless.

Those people with all their NY gear are OBVIOUSLY either from Long Island or Staten Island.

It sure would be a shame if someone found out who this guy was and let the world know. Feels like something that should be send to Tizzy Ent or one of those folks. Him and all his little friends. Fuck these people for being just complete assholes.

The preacher was Rev. Eric Folkerth, pastor of Kessler Park UMC and BJ 1985, The University of Texas at Austin.  

I grew up with him at church and have followed him over the years.  Great guy.  https://kpumc.org/staff  https://ericfolkerth.com/bio

i saw that video of that dude eating pavement, didn't realize it was in Denver but should have with the shot of Union Station in the background, missed that initially. so they obviously just arrived...

holy shit 😮 imagine traveling cross country to watch your team play and deciding to be a complete dick to locals the moment you step into the city. he definitely had a trip to the ER to close that head gash. bet he has a terrible headache today. fuck him.

I assume our football team's offense was showing their support for the protests last night by being non-violent and passive

I’m starting the no arch march

Woke up and ran 13.1 miles. Weather was nice. Legs felt good.

Ate a breakfast burrito and a protein shake. And coffee. Black.

Went to daughter’s dance class. Love it there. It’s pure and innocent. Totally insulated from adult problems.

Went to No Kings and marched ~2 miles. Got rained on. Held my sign and chanted. It was great. FDT.

Rested and reflected. Browsed flights to Europe. Carved a pumpkin with kiddo. Her first jack-o’-lantern.

Drank a beer and an espresso and a coke zero.

Made a beef carpaccio and drank some bourgogne blanc. There were olives involved.

Texas football was a wet fart on our day. I muted it to play music. Gilroy? Tell me who wins.

Kiddo went to bed. Je t’aime et bonne nuit.

Made a vol-au-vent with veal and filet de boeuf. It slammed and went hard.

Watched a movie. Yahoo sports popup says we won. Okay, cool, hook’em. But don’t sign that fucking compact or I’m out.

Drank a bottle of Chateauneuf-du-pape and a bottle of bourgogne rouge. And some crystal light to keep it classy.

Had sex with the wife. More than once. Two or three times. It’s fluid piss.

Maybe I’ll run the other half when the sun comes up in a few hours. Or just brunch. That also sounds nice and easier.

Fuck that cheeto pedophile fascist racist rapist insurrectionist motherfucker and everyone who supports him. We’re not done here.

FIFY

my sister went to her first protest on the courthouse lawn in Palestine! 😮😊

she said there were about 150, way more than last time (when she just drove by), but she said the most heartening was how many honks and waves they got. there were also some counter-protesters there, she said 'the rednecks were rednecking' lol, but that it was all pretty respectful.

Thanks so much for sharing this and showing up. I'm happy for any American showing up yesterday wherever, but it's a little bit easier for people in libbed up cities like Austin, SF, Chicago, Seattle, Portland etc to hit the streets in protest than it is for people in little towns in deep red parts of Texas where you really stand out to your townfolk. That takes a lot of give-a-shit-ness and these people deserve every high five possible. Honestly hits me right in the feels. 

Question for the smaller-towners.  We know they are overrun with MAGAts and, as a general proposition everyone is up in everyone else's business.  

Is there much day-to-day conflict?  Are they really in your face?

We went to the protest in Nacogdoches. There were probably ~250 people there, but as others have said, it’s harder in a small town. I know quite a few people that definitely wanted to be there but didn’t go because their livelihood depends on keeping the peace with most of their neighbors. There were more honks and waves in support than there were middle fingers and yelling. But there were a handful of people making a fool of themselves yelling Trumpaloo nonsense - all middle aged white men.

It felt good to be out there and I did see a few people I see around town that I didn’t expect to see there. But it should have been 2,500 people out there, not 250.

Heather Cox Richardson said some things yesterday that really resonate..
1.  These protests were not going to change things today.   But if we keep it up, they might change things tomorrrow.
2.  If these protests don't matter, why has the administration and their media mouthpieces spent so much time bashing them
This is a marathon, not a sprint.

GOP and MAGA are freaking out that it was overwhelmingly old white people who vote.

Speaking for myself, I haven't had any conflict with other Navasota folks.  Yet.  I don't spend a lot of time in Navasota, usually.  Mainly I go to church there, go to Turner, Pierce, and Fultz (Ace Hardware store), and occasional trip to Brookshire's for the very few items I can't get at HEB in College Station.  I really haven't mentioned politics to anyone other than a few at church, and they are generally like-minded.  After being seen in the rally in downtown Navasota, I may get more pushback.  We'll see.

I'm not your usual small towner for the purposes of this discussion.  We moved here when I was in my thirties, so I didn't grow up with anyone here.  I've always been a loner and a home body.  I don't have a social circle, so I don't really worry about offending friends.  I'm retired, so my employment status can't be used against me.  And, while I try to be polite and tactful, speaking my mind isn't a problem for me.  I don't have much social capital to lose.  I am in awe of those who were out there with me who do have social capital to lose, and still went anyway.
