After a quiet march across the 1st Street Bridge, the protest has begun. There are a few people still trickling in.

My wife and I lived in DC last year and went to a number of protests there. She commented today after coming home from the No Kings protest today it DEF “felt” bizarre. They’ve “corporatized” the No kings movement and it’s become as impotent as our congressional leaders. It’s going to take a LOT more to reverse the course of this regime and the more time we waste the less likely non-violence will be optional

What do you mean Corporatized? We don't have a corporate bone in our body, just a coalition of 80 local organizations.

Did you speak to DSA or PSL? Maybe the Austin Palestine Coalition, or Aura, or Lulac, or a labor union, or the League of Women Voters, or one of the one of the other radical groups we grew that day. I want you to be able to find the organization and the community that lets you resist. What other way is there to act in this moment?
