It's been a new name for each one, I guess to appeal to different groups for different problems. The 'Hands Off!' one for stopping the dismantling of Social Security did succeed in getting massive attendance from older people, so it seems to be working.

Thank you for joining us!

That's pretty standard right-wing propaganda against the protests, and they've been making that claim since they started. It's intended for their base so they can easily dismiss how popular the protests have been by making it appear like a sham or democrat conspiracy, when in (their warped) reality, Trump is super popular so the only way these protest happen is if people are paid to show up.

They've made similar propaganda to explain the popularity and crowd sizes of Bernie's Anti Oligarchy rallies.

I do agree that it's less eye grabbing or punchy compared to the previous 'No Kings' protest, which was immediately understandable in comparison.

It's based on a John Lewis quote: "Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."

Thanks! Though from from what I understand degenerate has also been picked up by neo-nazi's due to its origins being from eugenics.

But at this point I feel like that scene in Letter Kenny. I get your intent 😅

If we're going to effectively fight Trump and the rise of fascism, we have to act together, and show up in numbers!

Check the website map to see events happening near you: https://goodtroubleliveson.org/#attend

You don't need to sign up there or give any information, in fact, it's better if you don't. Just find the address, grab some snacks and water, a sign if you can make one, and show up.

If you have a printer, bring some union pamphlets to hand out and tell people about the General Strike. Spread the word if you can, share this image, and let's stand up together in solidarity and make some Good Trouble!

Hi, mod here. Could edit your insult to something else so that it complies with Rule 1?

The West Virginia community on our instance acts like a subreddit on Reddit (Lemmy itself functions like a federated Reddit clone, while Mastodon is like a federated Twitter).

I'm not the creator/admin of the this instance (that would be @admin@50501.chat), but I am a moderator for all of its communities.

Hi. Could you remove the insult from your comment (even if I think it's justified) to align with Rule #1?

[–] Tangerine 1 points 1 month ago

I like it! A good idea to put on some signs or pamphlets for next protest.

Join the NO KINGS protests tomorrow, on Trump's Birthday, June 14th! It's a nationwide protest with over 1900 locations across the US. Check the website map below.

No Kings Event Map: https://www.nokings.org/#map

Find one near you, write down the address and time, and head out tomorrow. (You don't have to sign up for anything, all you need is the address).

Recommended that you bring a mask, hat, water and snacks. Safety Goggles or Glasses would also be a good idea if you have them.

Bring a sign or the US Flag if you have one.

For privacy reasons you may want to avoid bringing your phone, or place it inside a faraday bag (a really well sealed tinfoil pouch will work, and put it in airplane mode to avoid draining your battery) until you get home.

If you have a first aid kit, it wouldn't hurt to bring it, just in case.
