Slop.

I searched for "No Kings" stuff and I found this.

Show us your No Kings signs!

I thought the thread would make me laugh but I got a surprise. It made me depressed instead. The libs are filled enthusiasm and they're making efforts yet they're not making a single demand and also there is and will be zero effort at actual organizing to change anything. Sigh.

The poster is quite popular on Bluesky. She has ~211K followers. Here's another post.

We have one job. Stay in the fight. The nonviolent, peaceful resistance.

From another thread

A collaboration with my four year old...

I keep getting TikToks about the organizers doing "collaboration" with police. Not sure exactly what they mean because they're always vague.

the suffering is legendary, even in Hell

I am stunlocked

Let them eat taco just because the taco thing that was fun for MAYBE two minutes a month ago? It doesn't bother you that phrase was spoken from the perspective of the thing you're ostensibly against? Or that you're making one of them your figurehead? And "let's go taco" just setting aside how clumsy it is to have two slogans on the same poster, way to show off how much brandon bothered you.

Also what the fuck is happening with that apostrophe

The taco is like a fucking pound of beef too. Look at that thing. That shell would be completely soaked with grease.

i would not be standing side by side with a fucking pig lmao

Things I saw at my lib protest today

• an older woman with that "sit down peaceful protest" viral thing printed out, laminated, pinned to her back
• I was with the Palestine contingent at the start, and as we started a free Palestine chant another protester turns to us and says "from Hamas"
• some European folks in sierra club garb saw my sign (chinga la migra) and asked if I knew Spanish, I said somewhat and they said people will be offended by it.
• a sign that implied trump is a dictator with a thought bubble coming out of trump, in the thought bubble was a hammer and sickle (lmao)
• a pro Joe Biden American/pride flag

But also, plenty of Palestine chants, plenty of Palestine and Mexican flags, lots of keffiyehs, presence of all the good local orgs, and I only saw one trot

unlimited regicide on the first world

Quote from a lib today after I tried to start up a "fuck donald trump" chant after the previous chant had died down: "Hey! Don't be violent, we're better than them." These people think fascism is imminent and won't even swear about it. Hopeless.

Which YA-book adaptation did they get the 'no king's phrase from?

These feels especially pathetic paired with how Dems are getting gunned down as we speak.

Chicago

So they'll be providing free tacos???

I'm willing to put money down there's gonna be protestors there saying Trump's chickening out of not supporting Israel by glassing Iran

If I went I'd probably have an aneurysm. This is not a means of enacting change, it's just a lot of people walking. There are no demands, no threats, nothing of the sort. I'm shocked why people think this is remotely effective.

Philly

That apostrophe is a crime

Fist facing forward: actual resistance

Painted fist facing backward: kinda kinky???

I actually laughed. The taco hat is a chef's kiss.

is this pro or anti Marie Antoinette?

I knew it wasn't a guillotine. And it would be beyond shocking if it was. Still - a man can dream for a few seconds - can't I?

John Cusack posted it at Bluesky - https://subium.com/profile/johncusack.bsky.social/post/3lrlhpvcgfc2h

I went with two people who asked me to go and had never been to a protest, the signage was so incredibly liberal that I have taken psychic damage and I am drinking a beer to recuperate

I hope some of ya'll were out there trying to radicalized these people. Some of them have to know standing around holding a sign is useless?
