LAPD now shooting 40mm foam rounds at people, some narrowly missing photographers who were stuck in between the line and protesters. Just absolutely evil shit.

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.

![[JFREJ] No one FAKES like Cuomo
Lives UPSTATE like Cuomo
No one vamps in the Hamptons ESTATES like Cuomo
[Cuomo] When Trump calls I’ll just be equivocating
[JFREJ] Oy!
Hands off of New York!
[Cuomo] When I was your gov, I moved Dems to the right
And pocketed real estate bucks
My Covid response killed your Gramps and your moms
I let bodies pile up in fridge trucks!
JFREJ:
No one TAKES like Cuomo
Rich tax BREAKS like Cuomo
Runs with vicious political SNAKES like Cuomo.
[Cuomo] I’ll spend millions on ads full of Muslim-baiting.
[Cuomo] I can’t lose again!!!
[JFREJ] Who’s a mensch among men
And then say it once more
Who's the hero next door?
Who's a super success?
Don't you know? Can't you guess?
He's a mayor who’ll care for us all!
There's just one guy in town who can defeat this clown
And his name's Z-O-H-R
Z-O-H-R-A
Z-O-H-R-A-N…
ZOHRAN!!!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:d7y2qzuqruqrbykfwwkopq65/bafkreia2zwrvjxzk76ppx7x4sf2zyplafneyrntn2kqowoh546vn4rdfeu@jpeg)
