The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

They’re fun and they’re energizing! It’s one thing to see the pics and know people are fighting back, but the encouragement & contagious optimism is VISCERAL when you are there. Does a lot to counteract the depression & anxiety of living through this time

Citizens want to be more protected by the EU. According to a recent Eurobarometer survey, 66% of EU citizens want the EU to take a more important role in protecting them against global crises and security risks. This view is particularly strong amongst younger Europeans.

Smilodon, an old star of paleomedia and paleoart of many sorts, is more than happy to tell stories of his work to anyone who can (or vaguely appears to) listen. And to be fair to him, he has seen many things happen during his tenure
An old grandpa smilodon with ragged hair, wearing a short-sleeved sweater and smoking a pipe is sitting on a cozy armchair. He says, in a happy remembering way: "Heh heh, you wouldn't believe how much has happened during my long career!". Behind him are framed images from his career. These include, from bottom left to upper right, a signed photo of a female smilodon filmstar, an image of a "sabertooth tiger" facing a neanderthal, an image of a Smilodon roaring at a cliff, and a slobbery faced Smilodon with fully concealed saber teeth.

I saw it in 2017 at the women's march. Honestly, I feel jaded and cynical about this. We've been doing these mass protests for 8 plus years and somehow we're still worse off. Power doesn't care about peaceful protests like this. They can be ignored and will be.

There were very large crowds at the #HandsOff rallies against the Trump regime that took place in cities and towns across the USA today, likely millions participating overall. It's good to see this level of mobilisation happening, they've got a fight on their hands to keep their republic.

Autistic stimming explained – and why stopping it can lead to burnout
Many autistic people engage repetitive movements, sounds, or actions that help them regulate their emotions and sensory experiences.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It is also reported that yesterday police used long-range acoustic devices against protesters. These devices are a type of a specialized loudspeaker that produces sound at an extremely high decibel capacity (up to 160 dB). It has been known to cause permanent hearing damage.

This is important 💥 No one has to tolerate intolerance. Tolerance is like an entry ticket to our modern, civilised society. It's the price we pay to enjoy society's protections. So if someone isn't willing to pay that price, they can't expect us to treat their intolerance with respect. #MAGAmerica 🇷🇺
