there will likely be in excess of a million people out on the streets today; there are at least 1,200 recorded Hands Off! protests today in addition to about 70 other scheduled protests against people like Elon Musk or rallying for Palestine. easily the largest mobilization so far either way--there are substantial protests in almost every city larger than about 100,000 people, and many significant ones in cities smaller than that
I just checked out BlueSky and scrolled through the pictures. It was the first time in a long time I've felt like I was "hope scrolling" instead of watching the world burn. Deleted most social media around 2016 and just removed/uninstalled Reddit yesterday... because it's also all just vitriol and hate to get their IPO up. Even if you mute EVERYTHING hateful. Glad to be here today.
Already feeling normal again on a Saturday so that's nice. I didn't personally go today cuz I have just been exhausted... went to the first one around here and was scared there would be nobody but there was easily 200+.
Bluesky is great. You can follow me there if you'd like to.
