Organizers are planning what they anticipate will be the largest "No Kings" protests yet, targeting what they call authoritarianism under President Donald Trump.
i didn’t say or imply that at all. i said this would be a way to make an extended strike any day of the week, while allowing those in a more fragile situation to also participate.
OR rather as a way for executing a longer, more effective strike (say, until they undo X policy, or Y politician renounces), which can become sort of a long war of attrition. that’s since single-weekend demonstrations aren’t getting quite the results.
plus, good long protests organize food and defense for everyone that would lose everything if they miss work on that time.
Will they give out food or have private security for today’s protest? or is that just the latest excuse to not do anything for another round?
did i at any moment say “today’s protest” should be canceled or something?
No, but then why is getting food and protection an excuse not to organize a march on a weekday (which is what I was originally talking about)?
