Cool. I just hope your leaders take the hint. Maybe now that they're getting directly threatened they'll show their true colours. Either they stand up for themselves as they see their colleagues start to get attacked (at events or in their own homes), or they cower and come to heel. (Sadly, I have little faith most politicians in most countries these days will do much if it's not their own hides at risk.)

Incidentally, something weird is going on with that list. I'm not sure how the ordering works but much more important, it says only "500,000" for the protests over George Floyd even though one of the references says 15-26 million over the entire course of that movement.

I'm afraid this may not be enough. One who is so deep in their delusions isn't so easily brought back to reality, if they ever can be.

This isn't the first large nationwide protest of his second term and it won't be the last. For instance, the Hands Off ones in April were number 6 on that list. They're getting larger and there is already planning for the next nationwide ones. Or more broadly, here's the cumulative number of protests including smaller ones too

Without huge media buy in, a billion people is just a number they throw out. I don’t see any change from the number one protest on the list. I don’t think protests are working, even as i still go to them.

Yeah I'm afraid the US and all its allies are marching straight into another set of wars and the consequences they'll bring. Apparently we're all the baddies now

Earth Day needs to keep happening too.

[-] mad_lentil@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

I'd like an Earth Day of the week. Day of the week for a bunch of progressive agendas would be cool. You've got Fight Fash Friday, obviously Saturday is Gay, Sunday Earth Day like don't buy anything and maybe sabotage something? Monday is probably international worker solidarity. Etc.

You can fit a lot of good into 7 days.
