Our local #NoKings went well, the organizers estimate 650 which is great for what seems like a first protest in this locale. Lots of excited people, more than I imagined!

A few counter protesters I shared, plus a guy who had a sign saying β€œsuggest you remain peaceful” so the cops followed him around. The 8-12 cops were bored and focused on keeping things calm.

It also brought out the guys with trucks with giant Trump flags, but also the hit jeep with peace flag and rainbow flag, and an anti Trump giant flag as well.

Got to see a community that has previously been pretty quiet in this locale.




RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines.

He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing.

He says they β€œdysregulate the immune system”.

Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for β€œnatural immunity” where only β€œthe strong survive”

Eugenics.

The Montgomery County Courthouse #NoKings event in Norristown, PA, was well attended, I'd guess at least 500 there when I arrived. And this in light rain.

Happy to see a more mixed crowd today: young and old, not just white seniors, lots of different cultures and ethnicities representing.

These things suggest to me that the protest numbers from around the nation will be massive. I hope to see it.

One crazy thing abt GOP conspiracy theory these are paid protestors is no paid outlet would EVER let their paid workers message so broadly.

The eighteenth-century legal system relied primarily on victims and other private individuals to initiate prosecutions.

To counter the disincentives raised by the financial fees, time and potential damage to reputation entailed in mounting a prosecution,
the government offered financial incentives,
both in the form of rewards and the payment of expenses.

Voluntary societies were also set up to support prosecutions.

Despite these initiatives, however, many still found the costs outweighed the advantages of pursuing a formal prosecution.

At the same time, the system of rewards offered the public, and even the poor, manifold possibilities to use the law for their own, sometimes illegitimate, ends

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees.

I am not making this up.

"Another Trump supporter asked a police officer whether he could engage with the protesters and was told he could yell at them if he wanted. When the man immediately began shouting expletives, the officer warned him not to try to incite an incident.The man moved on quietly."

I'm both a city mouse and a country mouse.

I've got a soapbox to stand on one of these days about how city-folk can tend to be dismissive of rural people for lots of reasons that aren't founded in reality, and hold stereotypes that are damaging and unsupportive. And about how this is just as divisive and feeding into fascist narratives as the misinfo about cities is.

But maybe not today. Right there is the point, even if I'm not up to outlining the details rn. For now if you think you may have this bias, look inward and see what you find.

We have to keep trying to vote out #republican fascism. Lawrence, Kansas rejects Donald #trump, Elon #Musk and the Republican party.

phew, this didn’t really capture how big this turnout was in Oxford County Maine (Trump territory for sure). #NoKings


Ah yes, I really dislike it when, as someone who is autistic, I don’t look before I accidentally block the entire Mastodon.social domain instead of just blocking a specific bot user.

Great, now over 100 lost me in their feeds. My day is ruined.

Domain unblocked, please boost for my visibility again!

I see a lot of pornography from users at mastodon.social .... But I don't block the whole domain, I just apply 'Limit' to each offending user, in the moderation interface. It's been a lot more work but, that way, I don't block the other mastodon.social users, just the idiots who post pornography....

@admin After a couple of months, I ended up receiving 3 to 4 requests from bots asking me to send them $5 via WhatsApp or Telegram. LOL.



Thousands in #detroit right now standing up against authoritarianism. Phone service too jammed to upload media. #nokings







Hi friends. I’m seeing posts saying, β€œwow so many great photos from the #NoKings protests, too bad they don’t have #AltText so I’m not going to boost them.”

Protestors sharing pics may not be in an ideal position to write alt text in the moment. Instead of complaining, consider writing the alt text for them, if you have the time and ability. #Alt4U #AltText4U

If you are sharing a pic & can’t add alt text, consider tagging it with #Alt4Me or #AltText4Me, and maybe some helpers will arrive.
