Good times. I really enjoyed myself, much excite. So protest!

Why are you being a dick?

I'm feeling sympathetic to Erika Kirk. She deserves to mourn, not be used as a prop and treated like this.

It was a smoke show, blueish purple. Fun stuff. The backfiring car was a nice touch.

I'm not clear what the purpose for it really is though. The right wing just uses it to make us look bad.

Closer to 6. I posted a video from a guy. Looked like a prank.

That guy who was arrested was selling Merch. He may just be a grifter.

Prank

They like inciting shit yep. I was there for a bit. Fun show really. Furries, fireworks!

I was there! I got some photos and vids too. Did you catch the fireworks?

She's retiring, nobody wants her to run for president. That's silly.

She's just old, and ready to go. Running from what?

Motivation is always a guess, a kind of accusation. Still, we can look at the results... Hundreds of people know they already agree with you.

That brings some solidarity, but such support is suspicious, because we often don't know the motivations behind others in this ecosystem. Ya don't know me.

This seems to be the central motivation for these assassins. White male righteous anger, aimed at the target through stochastic terrorism.

Bad faith can be presumed based on experience and statistics. We know Bluesky is less loaded with it, and it's generally presumed others here will argue in good faith. On Facebook, or God forbid Threads

40 billion divided by 350 million US citizens equals 115 dollars each. What do we get back for this investment? It appears the profits go to American businesses there.

What are you hoping to accomplish? Should folks not redress bad behavior? Is that not what you are doing now? Please explain

The Republican totally ripped into Cuomo the whole debate. Thanks for the assist Mr Guardian Angel guy!

Protest sign for No Kings.

Half the comments on YouTube are personal attacks, might be worse on Facebook. Bluesky is far better apparently.

Are we the baddies? Stephen Miller in a fascist uniform.

Two wrongs make a Reich

In DEI debates, Kirk makes the bad faith claim: a black pilot is less safe because 40 percent of new hires will be POC or women as a result of DEI. Let's look at this number in 1960?
MUCH smaller. Why? Racism, Sexism, Etc. Denial of this is bigotry. Civil Rights Act and DEI work to counter this.

Truman! Yes right. I wonder if FDR would have if it was possible sooner

Like when FDR made peace with Japan in Nagasaki.

As we all know, real activists who achieve real things talk about doing federal crimes on public social media all the time

(do not trust anyone who talks about how cool doing federal crimes is on public social media)

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Serling in 66 quotes King, gets good around 30 minutes in.

Thought experiment Friday: The best surgeon in the nation can save your life, but they are undocumented. Should that surgeon be deported before or after the surgery?

Do they get amnesty cuz doctor?

Republican voters benefit from Democrat policies.
