I would like to see these rallies happen more often. And we need a general strike to starve the billionaires of their greedy, monstrous behavior. I already unsubscribed to the NYT and the Washington Post and will never shop at any Amazon related businesses. I don’t need any new techie gizmos or ain’t new objects that can’t afford. Let’s not feed the monsters.
I maintain a subscription to NYT - I don't put them in the category of the Post at all. we still need a large paper of record and though they aren't perfect and have bent at times they have not broken - much useful journalism continues there.
The NYT too refused to endorse Kamala before the election. I was one many who decided to unsubscribe. If you can’t maintain your morals in business then you shouldn’t be in business. I will not abandon morals for a newspaper . It was the wrong thing to do. Everyone knew what Rumbo represented… Lies, hate, division. I don’t regret my decision.
sure that's certainly your right. We all make our choices. I was certainly upset and its not the only time that paper has caved to pressure.
but the gulf between NYT and something like OANN, Fox or Breitbart is enormous. NYT largely does journalism and deals in facts the others do propaganda and deal in falsehoods.
Read the Guardian or the BBC. There are lot of news outlets that produce good reporting. Maybe broaden your coverage. You might be surprised at what you read.
Remember occupy Wall Street in New York and the rest of the country. What did that accomplish? Answer not a goddamn thing. Those Wall Street bastards pointed at the protesters and laughed and toasted with champagne while the NYPD brutalized the protesters.
The problem is, the filthy Rich believe one thing because it’s true. They are above the law and they are safe unlike us peasants. When they get scared and when they are afraid to go out because they may be targets of the peasants they might consider giving up their wealth and confessing to their crimes.
These peaceful protests exist so that the peasants will blow off some steam and believe they’ve actually done something.
"Wake up peasant!"? I hope you are not stating that to me. Why are you constantly tagging me, seems like you are targeting me. I am not some Schmuck off the street, I know how things are and how they should be, this is what, the 3rd time you have done this to me. I am getting tired of it already.
It’s an interesting thing—money gives we humans the illusion of safety. I understood the truth of that the first time I flew business class (even though it was on points).
Lately I have been feeling depressed with age and infirmity and the collapse of my country. But the Baudelaire poem struck me like lightning with the answer. Being drunk with joy is the answer, wherever you find joy!
Over 9 million and counting. The SAVE act cannot ever even get close! The state DA's need to hold the line. And hold the line in the red States. November has to be clean and fair.
November won't be clean or fair, unfortunately. Vote in groups so ICE will think twice before trying to intimidate. Plan, organize and follow through. 🌊
Pretty incredible!
We can all rejoice that the majority of us in this USA can demonstrate peacefully and joyfully--evidence of our power.

A general strike is set for May 1.

We had 3 already in my area of NY. This is something MAGA can not say, we all protest peacefully.

Old and feeble here, but I would have been out there on the streets if I was able to!

Fling your heart into the audacity of hope and dreams . Be a tiny speck that is needed for our kind nation to survive.
Thank you for the likes. We are all in this together and must continue to support each other. 🇺🇸🩵
Yes, that is the drunkenness of which Baudelaire wrote.
Wow!
I am in New Zealand and so missed the event. I just got here yesterday, 3/29 in NZ.
I'll be there next time. NO KINGS, ONLY DECENCY AND THOUGHTFUL KINDNESS.
Lately I have been feeling depressed with age and infirmity and the collapse of my country. But the Baudelaire poem struck me like lightning with the answer. Being drunk with joy is the answer, wherever you find joy!
Yes , a very befitting poem for our time. That’s the kind of shook I want !
Hope you’re feeling better soon .
Thank you for all that YOU do , Mary❣️🌸🌼

Also no engagement with voters from ICE at the polls come midterms .
Keep up the good work of peaceful protest. As individuals we contribute but together we are a powerhouse.
I revel in how very much donnie loathed ever single second of seeing how many people hate his guts and wish him gone!
Take heart, folks! This post I put up on BlueSky went viral yesterday:
Almost half of "No Kings" protests took place in GOP strongholds, organizers say.
Brava, Mary! You're the Trump who should have been elected. (And I love the Baudelaire!)
Just sent you photos from the University Village NO KINGS event in Seattle. Thanks for asking, Mary!
