Executive summary: the US killed at least 3 Colombian fishermen who’d put up a distress flag. In Colombian waters

Camila @camilapress
FULL REPORT: Colombian public media reports that a U.S. military strike on a boat on September 15—the second attack on a vessel by the U.S. in the Caribbean that we're aware of—was a Colombian boat and was in Colombian territorial waters.
At least one of the three victims extrajudicially killed in the strike was Colombian lifelong fisherman Alejandro Carranza. Alejandro's identity is confirmed by his cousin.
The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.

Once around 3.5% of the whole population has begun to participate actively, success appears to be inevitable.

Overall, nonviolent campaigns were twice as likely to succeed as violent campaigns: they led to political change 53% of the time compared to 26% for the violent protests.

Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

It was nice though, older people nudged younger people throughout yesterday to ask questions; "What does that mean?" and it was cute and nice. We communicate differently but we all have the same passion.

I learned that young people make different signs with references to things older people may miss the message. We're GenXers and younger in the things we understand because we're on the internet and work in tech.
Explaining things like the Antifascist flag, Andor, anime references.

It was about the solidarity, the joy we all had in seeing so many of us out there. It was also very much about community that we're doing this together. The weather was nice.

We spent hours just walking around, carrying our signs and watching everyone else. We walked the perimeter of the main area several times yesterday. The mood was elation and we met and talked with several people just over the signs we were carrying. That was cool too, talking with neighbors.

We arrived around 2:45 ish and when the rain started we were under the bike parking at whole foods, which was perfect. We just waited till it stopped and walked on in.

Random thoughts on the protest.
We left our phones at home. I hadn't done that in a very long time, and it was wonderful. It allowed us to stay present in the moment. I think I should start doing that more often. Every once in a while we would see someone with a watch and ask them the time.

I Love this woman SO much!! So brave, no mask or disguise, just herself out there with her sign.

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

New Orleans was fun today. Great music, great costumes. People meeting their neighbors. It felt like a stretch of good blocks during a day parade the weekend before Mardi Gras.

Fun and play are often a part of social movements as the people trust the larger group to hold their values as the conflict with the state expands. The anti-WTO protests in Seattle in 1999 were full of folks dressed like loggerhead turtles and dolphins and stuff dancing to RATM. Very fun + serious.

Notably: every single rally (including in the small towns) was bigger than the surrounding police force available. That kind of image event is VERY IMPORTANT if you're, I dunno, demonstrating social coherence AGAINST a fascist government and it's makeshift gestapo.
