“Due to budget cuts and the outlook on bond markets, we have decided to downsize resources by 900.” - google, probably

We’ve been trying to tell people this.

well before Trump’s current reign of terror?

Now you’re starting to understand…

Here in Chicago, they move around to different hotel and different chains. We have observers who follow them and let us know. I’ve gone to a Hampton Inn protest in the past.

Looks great dude! I build a les paul body over a decade ago and never got the electronics to work lol … one day I’ll finish.

I’m saying his best material was in the 70s and 80s, that was 30+ years ago.

I mean, the guy is 30 years past his prime. What’s crazy is that no other pop stars are making songs about this. Back in the day we had “4 dead in ohio” and “bloody sunday” and countless others … where are the revolutionary songs these days?

This is the issue with fediverse in general: lack of content. I’m sure people can figure out how to join … it’s not any more complicated than joining Bluesky, and that has exploded in growth. Why? Because everybody is on there.

Tiktok was THE platform for pro-gaza content and solidarity. Leaks from Congress proves this. It’s a shell of what it once was now that the US oligarchs are in control of it and have turned it into their right wing spyware platform.

Blocked for unironically using the word ‘tankie’.

Kinda like fediverse in general. That’s the price of a non-corpo platform

You are in denial about what the presence of National Guard actually means. NG, police, military, etc all exist to protect capital, property, and the assets/interests of the ruling class. Do not think for one single fucking moment that the national guard is here to protect people protesting in the streets. It has never happened ever in history. Quite the opposite. You can think “sHiFtInG gOaL pOsTs” all you want, but you are delusional. This will only end badly.

Police and State Police here in Chicago were sent to Broadview to “protect protestors”. Know what happened? Just guess. They arrested protestors and assisted ICE operations. They faced and formed a wall against protestors, not ICE. If you think the NG is going to be arresting ICE you are out of your goddamned fucking mind and need to read a history book.

Blocked.

There’s some delusion on the situation!

Oh, so they’re going to be wearing this while “protecting people” from ICE? How has that played out in history? There’s a few songs about it…

We need the [violent, armed, body armored] national guard to show up and show us how to “peacefully” protest. Got it.

You aren’t going to get things like this if it’s a bunch of protestors running around gunning down people

No, I guess we just need a number of us to get violently murdered/executed in public before the violent arm of the state comes and gives us hot chocolate.

This needs a Not The Onion tag lol

I can help you.

Obama funded ICE and built the concentration camps, while bombing Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, and Somalia.

Then Trump exploits and uses ICE, while Dems continue to fund it. Trump is mask off unhinged Capitalism, Obama was “polite” mask on Capitalism. Neither serve you. Neither improved material conditions for the working class.

Edit: also Kamala ran on empowering ICE, and bragged about a stronger border than Trump even wanted. Wtf are even talking about. Democrats enable Republicans. Always. They are the other side of the same capitalists coin that does not serve you whatsoever.

Buy ebike/escooter. Drive and park 5-10 miles from where you want to go, and ride the rest of the way in. FLOCK cameras are everyfuckingwhere.

Imagine being proud of voting for a genocide enabler. 🙄
