And here's another reason I protest. Nothing that happens in the street scares me half so much as what this regime and the red states are doing to healthcare.
As Joni Ernst says, "We are all going to die."

Soccer crowd in LA chanting in support of the the protesters. This is #LosAngeles
Because US democracy is on a knife edge, I compared it to a patient in the ICU with sepsis. I compared protests to antibiotics, the only way to try to save the patient.
I noted that the first dose of antibiotics can in some cases make the patient's vitals even more unstable.
That's what's going on in LA right now.
Please remember there were ZERO cars on fire before the feds arrived, and please remember to blame the bacteria for the chaos, not the antibiotics!
The antibiotics are saving us.
"A violent solar eruption on May 31 launched a coronal mass ejection (CME) hurtling toward Earth, triggering a rare G4-level geomagnetic storm alert. Captured in real-time by U.S. Naval Research Laboratory instruments, this cosmic blast has the potential to disrupt satellites, communications, and military systems."
Did... did the fucking SUN just join the protests?

More footage of #LosAngeles you won't see on the cowardly national outlets.
As last night at our solidarity #ICE protest, people are singing. Some people showed up last night with helmets and gas masks, but did not need them because ICE didn't come out of their fashy stink hole. We aren't the January 6 people, they are. We don't start the violence.
These are the Piedmont Raging Grannies. They're a comedy musical protest group based in Greensboro NC. They get enough attention Jesse Watters denigrated them on Fox News!
As you can see, they dress in a comedy version of traditional Appalachian dress. They are white grandmothers wearing the clothes of their heritage.
Nobody told them to stop being so white Appalachian after the Fox News fiasco.
People being attacked for being Mexican-American are waving...
...Mexican flags at protests to defend their identities and heritage.
And some on our side-- who, notably, are NOT going out there and dealing with ICE in the streets-- want them to stop being so publicly Mexican.
If you don't see a problem with the Piedmont Raging Grannies, and nobody does, then you should not see a problem with Mexican flags at protests.
We GOT here by coddling racism.
With that, I'm going to go do what most white pundits won't and protest ICE.
Thanks to JD Vance, Cat Ladies for Kamala united across the country in 2024. Now the group is Cat Ladies for America, and local chapters organize alongside groups like Indivisible.
Janet Thompson is the captain of the #Utah chapter of Cat Ladies for Democracy. She's an 80 year old cat lady whose father was a disabled WWII veteran, and she was out protesting for #veterans on June 6.
Join the cat army!

#SaltLakeCity #Utah protesting in solidarity with #LosAngeles today on just a few hours notice.
Fuck #ICE!
It's surprising and it's not. This is the protest movement that the cowardly national media outlets have been ignoring for months now.
To them we say: HEY MOTHERFUCKERS, CAN YOU HEAR US NOW?? 🤡
#Detroit #michigan is having an anti-ICE protest today in solidarity with LA, showing the way for the rest of the nation.
These goons can't be in all our cities at once. We can all peacefully rise up in support of #LosAngeles instead of just sitting here seething.
From Reddit 50501:
A Georgia high school had to cancel a performance of "The Crucible" after parental complaints it was "demonic."
So now they're having moral panics over a play about a moral panic.
The Visibility Brigade of #Paramus #NewJersey is once again out there getting crazy honks from traffic!
Today they're telling everyone "UKRAINE HOLDS THE CARDS."
In an awful situation, bridge protests are fun as well as useful. It doesn't take many people to drop a banner and wave. Grab a few friends and take over a bridge! In many places, small events like that don't even need an event permit.
Those are some good folks over there in Paramus.
"SHOW YOUR FACES ICE COWARDS"
Americans have had 250 years of VERY uneven democracy, but democracy. We are not going to tolerate a fascist police state. Stephen Miller's wet dream is shared by very few in this country, as we have seen with MAGAs crying "This isn't what we voted for."
I don't know how ugly this gets, but I do know Americans are not going to put up with what we saw in LA nationwide.
That said, this is why I 100% supported Rep Thanedar's Articles of Impeachment.
THIS is why Rep. Al Green (God bless him) said "You don't want to wait until tanks are rolling down the streets of American cities."
Tump's stupid parade is a preview of the reality the fascists want. People like Rep Green, AOC, and others on the Good List will just look wiser with time, whatever happens.

"Democrat taxes." OMG, this is RICH coming from the party of Trump tariffs and nuking the debt ceiling for billionaire tax breaks.
This is normal. :eyeroll:

Oh FFS, not another article pretending that young white male terrorists are poor little lost lambs who aren't responsible for anything they choose to do.
That shit is why there are so many of them. Our culture is built around normalizing violent, abusive behavior from white men. We're supposed to feel sorry for them for them terrorizing us.
And there are still people trying to preach this shit in year ten of Trump, AFTER the Nazi coup.
These are exclusively white people.
These are people who see any kindness or patience as weakness and stupidity. They do not learn from anything except consequences for their abuse. Elon Musk is the poster child. It shouldn't be hard to see at this point, he's doing Sieg Heils in public FFS.
The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in #cancer research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. #BigPharma got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts."Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷♀️
