The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.

Honestly it makes me think we're on the right track. If it wasn't a threat to their agenda, they wouldn't be reacting like children.

Also feel good is GOOD. A movement needs moral.

All the smiles today. It was a good day.

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.

Jonathan M. Katz @katz.theracket.news · 1d

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.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

This protest is:

- An intro to many first timers
- Good practice
- Organizing. Building our connections and ability to answer a call to action
- Moral building. So many smiles today, so much unity
- A signal to the world that we don't approve of what is going on
- Reinforces our 1A rights

Evening all. This is my least favorite part of the job, but until I find a more stable gig, a necessary one.

If you've followed my work today or anytime else, I'd appreciate any tips you'd like to put in my hat.

Now at the Broadview ICE facility, where ~100 people have gathered to protest. Compared to the carnival-esque atmosphere of the No Kings march in Chicago, the vibes here are tense.

State & local police eyeing the crowd in the "free speech zones" while masked feds watch from the facility roof.

I think the small town and city folk that showed up are the bravest and most admirable of us all. 🙏

If someone is following illegal orders, what does that make of law enforcement's choice to allow it?
