Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

This year has been the longest three days of putin’s life.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Nothing worth doing is easy.

The only way through is to slog through the muck one step at at time.

We still have time to mess this up!

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

They spent the last eight months firing professionals and replacing them with ideologues.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you do not.

    @WaterGirl: Yes. A keeper.

    I got teary yesterday. Our town does Memorial Day with local vets pictures on the streetlights and I stationed myself under one of them.

    Gesturing to them and my sign, because it was a lot of local traffic, too.

    Many more photos I should have put up, but we were beat and peckish, so I was cooking at the same time.   The Seattle Times report there were MORE than 70k people, making it nearly the largest march ever for Seattle.   Also the smaller places in WA had large turnouts — Lopez Island had 350! which is like 10% of the island.

    The BEST part of this day was that there was a huge turnout of YOUNG people, thank god.   I have been waiting to see them show.

    Shootings in Minnesota fit a pattern.  Anna Politkovskya was murdered on 7th October, Putins birthday, the killings in Minnesota were a gift to tRUMP.

    My estimate (30,000) for the San Diego march was WAY off: Police estimated 60,000. Police also issued a statement thanking organizers and participants for their cooperation and peaceful behavior.

    Property damage — $0

    Number of arrests — 0

    As a volunteer Peacekeeper/Crowd Monitor, I had a perfect day: I did absolutely nothing.

    @munira:

    interesting – the Strength in Numbers estimate I mentioned above has only 1,000 for Bellingham. You can add a link and suggested correction

    @BlueGuitarist: Thanks for that.  Made me look.

    For the one I was at in Alexandria, the spreadsheet points to here which says he estimated “between 1,000 and 2,000”. The spreadsheet shows 2001. Other reports (seemingly drawn from online) claim 1000-5000.

    It’s an interesting exercise, but I don’t think there’s any way that an “accurate” number can be found, even if one tries really hard. Trees and canopies and the rest will hide people from drones, the number is going to vary a lot depending on when the image(s) are taken, etc., etc.

    Keep it simple – “a bazillion people attended nationwide No Kings protests” is good enough for me. ;-)

    Thanks.

    Best wishes,
    Scott.

    I kind of agree with that, and kind of don’t.  I think it’s important for strategic reasons to exceed the 3.5% of the population that is suppose to be the critical mass for peaceful protests overturning autocracies.

    I was about to type “numbers matter” but then I realized who I was replying to.  I may as well say that to you as to say it to lowtechcyclist.  That would be like telling you guys that we need air to breathe. :-)
