These protests were mostly 35+ old white people.
We know that young people skew left and an overwhelming majority of Black people voted against the guy 3 times.

So your 3x is definitely a conservative estimate.

BREAKING:

Israel has dropped bombs on over 100 places in Gaza in the last few hours alone.

More than 36 Palestinian civilians have been murdered just since dawn today.

And not a peep from the “international community”.

Ceasefire? What ceasefire?

I think that’s what is making them so nervous, though. Old white people protesting; we are supposed to be the R base. They want to instigate riots, but the optics of pepper spraying old white folks is not good.

I just saw the original this morning. Seemed good enough to me. (Also, the flag pole is bent on this one!)

I said I would do this last night but I was too tired so lets do it today. A few caveats - not saying this list is exhaustive, it's just a good place to start. It's also not in chronological order because I'm a chaos gremlin

I'm going to a thing with other humans but when I get back I'll make a little reading list so you can educate yourself and others on why the NYT is an objectively bad for democracy news outlet we've been tricked into respecting. Skeeting this to hold myself accountable

The power of the people is stronger than the people in power. #NoKings

A cartoon illustration depicts a metaphorical political scene on a precarious wooden platform jutting over a cliff edge against a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds. On the left side of the platform, a diverse group of silhouetted protesters in grayscale—men and women in business attire and casual clothes—stand closely together, some raising blank protest signs high above their heads, conveying unity and agitation. In the foreground among them, a young woman with long dark hair, wearing a red sweater and green pants, walks purposefully forward with a determined expression, her brown shoes visible. On the right side, elevated on a separate wooden podium atop the platform, a middle-aged man in a dark suit, white shirt, and tie stands confidently at a microphone, raising his right hand emphatically as if delivering a speech. The composition emphasizes contrast between the collective crowd on the brink and the isolated speaker, with the cliff drop below symbolizing risk, all rendered in a clean, illustrative style with bold outlines.
