#Seattle #NoKings I can't know how many are here but it's in the thousands. Just crossing Cal Anderson Park and getting onto Pine has taken an hour. The last time that happened was the Women's March.
This Pride Month, there are many reasons you might want to protest & fight for your rights.
If you do decide to join the action, make sure to prepare properly to keep yourself safe.
Your smartphone is an essential tool to organize and report, but it can also make you vulnerable to the mass surveillance many protests are targeted with.
Your phone is an essential tool, but it also represents a huge risk to your privacy and security. Understanding these best practices when it comes to securing your smartphone will help keep you and your data safe.
Iran’s security establishment still does not understand where they are. This is an existential regime change war, not a bit of light evening sparring to be conducted in rounds of orderly miss…
So funny story at #NoKings today: On the way to rally, I played Peter Paul and Mary's classic protest song "If I Had a Hammer" for our "youngling" (12 y/o grand-nephew) explaining how it was significant for its use during civil rights and anti-war protests.
We start marching ... and someone starts singing it. 😢
To encourage the crowd nearby, between 3rd and 4th verses, I shout out "C'mon all you hippies!" and everyone laughed ...

ugh I hate to post public but inbetween getting hatecrimed bc the racist white neighbors vandalized our abode which I need to repair, my arm gave out again from repetitive stress injuries of working 2 jobs for my already disabled family to survive. I have to get xrays + wait for a specialist just for a paper to approve more treatment while obviously the injury is impeding my ability to work.

Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif stated that Israeli aggression is currently targeting Yemen, Iran and Palestine, but if Islamic countries do not unite and jointly resist aggression, they will face a similar fate.
Santa Monica #NoKings. Not surprised there were thousands. We hate Trump and his lawless terror campaign even more than we hate to go east of the 405 on a weekend.
Americans head to Middle East to participate in their national sport: dying for Israel This is so exciting...
The Americans who can't have healthcare are ecstatic they are about to get something much better: an unwinnable war in the Middle East. Life just isn't the same when they're not fighting an unwinnable war in the Middle East, is it?

people at American embassy in Ottawa! Enough to surround the building. We walked around it a few times.
There were tons of really clever signs. My sign had a slogan I copied from someone on Mastodon ... "No Truth Decay". A dentist came up to me with appreciation for that : -)
I think the crowd might have been bigger but quite a few people went to the Palestinian support protests which in today's case was at the same time.

Instead of receiving permission from Egyptian authorities to march to the Rafah border crossing, participants have been subject to hotel raids, harassment, arrests, and deportations.
I'm sitting here tonight looking at old high school & college textbooks on algebra, statistics, and calculus trying to figure out the precise number of times we need to keep marching back & forth on Mill Ave or circling empty Capitol buildings to stop genocide & liberate marginalized communities and the only solution I keep coming up with is to stop listening to nonprofit/org movement managers (especially those who work with cops), start forming affinity groups of people who know this shit is performative & solves nothing, and start fucking escalating.
You know what those state reps in Minnesota did after the feds plus local sheriff deputies Luke Michelson and Timothy Inglett assassinated movement rebel Winston Smith in 2021? They gave the thumbs up to more cops and crackdowns, and they certainly never sought to bring the killers to account - we only know the killers names because of a leak.
So yeah, definitely not concerned for a couple politicians who became “collateral damage”
Watching the protests while working on a new forest painting.. pretty similar to the last one, because I liked making that!
Needs something on the foreground I think.. to make it special.. maybe something safe like more foliage, or something weird like a wizard or a witch or some animal..?
If Trump's response to the "No Kings" protests—and, for example, the riots in LA—has been "tyrannical," then we're just gonna need an even more extreme term to describe the left's response to the J6 protests.

There's a protest myth that liberals love to repeat.
Be peaceful so you don't give the cops an excuse to brutalize you.
The fact is that the cops are gonna brutalize you when they get the order to, whether you're sitting and singing kumbaya or not. It's got nothing to do with the actions of you and your fellow protestors. It has to do with when they get the word to swoop in and brutalize you, that's what's going to happen. When some higher up gets his manties in a bunch and decides it's time to crush some skulls.
So do us all a favor and stop saying that crap. It's false and creates dangerous situations for others out there on the streets with you.
The state is the perpetrator of violence, both visible and invisible. The state is going to go medieval on your ass when they feel like it. No excuse necessary.
@violetmadder And don't forget those that will try to turn other people in the crowd over to the cops if they don't agree with their type of direct action.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that the Home Front Command has instructed residents across Israel to remain in proximity to protected spaces. Movement in public areas should be minimized, and public gatherings are to be avoided.

#Iran and #Israel are at war, with the #US already intimately involved and likely to become more so. Which of course means we’ll be spending the foreseeable future getting bashed in the face with lies from the most powerful people in the world.
The most immediately obvious of these is the Netanyahu-promoted narrative that Israel initiated this conflict because Iran was on the brink of developing a nuclear weapon. With absolutely no self-consciousness or sense of irony, the Israeli prime minister followed the attacks with a statement accusing Iran of “genocidal rhetoric” which it has backed up “with a program to develop nuclear weapons.” Israel, as we all know, has an unacknowledged nuclear arsenal, and its leaders are presently committing #genocide in #Gaza while spouting genocidal rhetoric.
“And if not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time,” #Netanyahu claimed. “It could be a year. It could be within a few months — less than a year. This is a clear and present danger to Israel’s very survival.”
The western political/media class have been dutifully promoting this line and uncritically parroting Israel’s claim that its unprovoked attack on Iran was “preemptive”, but there is absolutely no evidence that any of this is true.
Benjamin Netanyahu has spent literally decades falsely claiming that Iran was a year or two away from developing a nuke, only to have the calendar prove him wrong with the passage of time over and over again.
US intelligence chief Tulsi #Gabbard testified just weeks ago that “The IC [Intelligence Community] continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader Khamenei has not authorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.”
As journalist Séamus Malekafzali recently noted on Twitter, one of the strongest arguments that Iran had not reversed its decision to refrain from obtaining nuclear weapons is that Iranian nuclear scientists have been publicly expressing frustration about the fact that their government won’t allow them to construct a nuke. They want to do it, but Tehran won’t let them.
US Secretary of Defense Pete #Hegseth helped pave the way for Netanyahu’s claims this past Wednesday when he told the Senate that “there have been plenty of indications” Iran has been “moving their way toward something that would look a lot like a #nuclear weapon.”
This claim by Hegseth was swiftly scooped up and promoted by warmongers like Tom Cotton who said that Hegseth had “confirmed that Iran’s terrorist regime is actively working towards a nuclear weapon.”
Cotton’s claim was then picked up by war pundit Mark #Levin, who has been personally lobbying #Trump to green light an attack on Iran, sarcastically quipping on Twitter, “So, SecDef Hegseth must by lying, too. Everyone’s lying except the isolationists, Koch-heads, Islamists, Chatsworth Qatarlson and their media propagandists.”
But let’s back up and look at what Hegseth actually said. He did not say “Iran is building a nuclear weapon.” He said “there have been plenty of indications” Iran has been “moving their way toward something that would look a lot like a nuclear weapon.”
If the US had intelligence that Iran was building a nuke, Hegseth would have just said so. But instead he performed this freakish verbal gymnastics stunt muttering about indications of something that might kinda sorta look like a nuclear weapon, which his fellow Iran hawks then falsely took and ran with as a positive assertion that Iran was building a nuke.
There are other lies being circulated to help market this war as well. As Moon of Alabama notes, the Washington Post’s odious war propagandist David Ignatius is pushing the narrative that Iran has been cultivating a relationship with de-facto al-Qaeda leader Saif al-Adel. The lie that Saddam Hussein was in league with al-Qaeda was used two decades ago to sell the invasion of Iraq.
At the same time, Trumpian pundits are currently circulating the narrative that the United States is full of Iranian “sleeper cells” who could activate at any moment and begin attacking Americans. The most egregious of these is Laura Loomer’s repeated claims that there are “millions” of such cells awaiting Iran’s orders to strike — possibly the single most bat shit insane claim I have ever seen anyone with any major platform make, since it would mean a very sizable percentage of the US population is actually a secret Iranian proxy army.
The fountain of lies is just getting started. There will be more. Believe nothing unless it is substantiated by mountains of evidence. These freaks have been caught lying to sell wars to the public far too many times for any of their claims to be taken on faith.
This class (forbiddentickets.com/events/pa…) was born through a specific experience - while teaching a class on D/s, panda was asked how it could have multiple dominant partners. Didn’t the other partners get jealous? What happened if there were differing desires? The question baffled panda a little at first, as it had never considered having multiple dominants as a thing that couldn’t be possible.
How on earth do we balance our dragon hoards of partners with which we exchange power?! Love isn’t pie, but time sure is. Let’s talk about how to keep your cule while ensuring everyone’s needs are cared for.
