I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

Been seeing some accusations of DnD going 'woke'.

DnD...

The game YOU imagine into being...

The game where the entire draw for most people is that YOU decide what happens...

I'm starting to believe that the biggest issue with right wing reactionaries is a terminal lack of imagination.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

Call me old fashioned but I miss the days when we would all be shocked if a President posted a video of himself flying over protesters and dumping poop on them.

I miss the days when a video like that would have been grounds for instant removal from office.

I miss accountability.

As a kid, multiple times. Loved Clark Gable and
Vivien Leigh in those roles. The story though. 😐

Did you end up watching it?

Finally finished [reading] the book that was way WAY more than 2.5 million words. Probably was a mistake to pick up a slow slice of life novel immediately after. 🫠

Yeah exactly - he was a punk. 😡
(I could probably do it without checking? But like … I wouldn’t be sure. And when you’re working with a fucking car battery imo at least, one should be sure.)

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.

Alt text: A comment from an account called bluesky-helper telling the poster that their account has been suspended and that they need to click a link to avoid being terminated.

Don't click the link.

Slightly off on numbers.
About 100 people, several dogs, and about 60 vehicles.
Not bad for a town of 2500 :)

Probably had 150 folks at our #NoKings car parade thru town.
Not sure of numbers, but we were/are enthusiastic!
I didn't go to the final destination to do postcards and such because too many people in a small enclosed space.
But my heart is with them all!
