offtopic, Felicia Day just broke her nose on a face smash challenge by a donor. Wow.
ontopic, I donated $100 to RAICES. :)

I believe it was Barack Obama who recently said, "If you aren't breaking your nose on stream, you aren't doing enough".
OK, trying this again. From the Atlanta march today:
It started outside the detention center downtown.
From there, we marched past CNN, etc.
At one point I looked behind me and was impressed with the size of the turnout:

LOL I forgot to mention.
The challenge was "smash your face for $2K donation on your Bday Cake". A person donated that amount like 5 min later and Alicia smashed her face on her just deliver Bday cake. What all didnt know is it had some wood piece at the top to keep the stacks together...she bled a bit which at first she though it wasnt. Thing was hilarious. She is fine now.
Man I am really enjoying the stream. I applaud her, as a person and a parent (apparently she has a daughter now), to do this great work.
And now Cpt. Reynolds/Buck/Richard is with them! Ayy, he be Canadian, like me.
This has to be a 4chan/Infowars troll or something.
Prison abolition is a real movement.

A pretty sound argument could be made for abolishing police and prisons, and has been for 200+ years by a lot of folks on the left. It would require a fundamental and radical change in the way society is structured though, and it isn't something that could be done immediately.
I couldn't make it to the Oakland March as I'm recovering from a procedure but my wife and daughter went.
Here's my daughter (left) with her friend and her Hamilton-quote sign.
Bless your heart.
You could make a lot of sound arguments for stuff if you're willing to suspend certain eventual realities.
Couple of photos from Star Tribune (Minneapolis):
Packed at least 6 blocks. I'm proud of Minneapolis and anybody who marched today.

Just got back from the LA protest. Turnout seemed pretty good, but hard to tell from where I was. Great signs and atmosphere all around. Didn't really see any Trump supporters outside of a handful.
A lot of politicians spoke including Harris, Waters, Newsom, and Garcetti.

Yea, I heard about that. I didn't witness it though. Honestly, I really hope it serves a lesson not do unverified stunts. Came really close to a massive disaster (Bye Felicia for real...).
I heard when they reacted. I always keep the chat closed for this reason.
Also, just in: Joel/Sam Drake/Snow/Troy Baker will be making an appearance as well.
Star Tribune's comments were flooded with angry right wingers. Yet the march itself had only one anti abortion protestor from what I saw.
Don't attend marches and only argue online? Wow you're lazy!
Attend marches? Wow you're a hypocrite!
Seeing them get this angry gives me life. It makes me know that public assembly is worth it. We need to bring this momentum to the ballot box and they're scared that we will.
The NYC march was a struggle. Absolutely no shade and a long tiring walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. My SO and I are currently laid up in the dark with the AC cranked recovering. But it was great to have taken part.
Someone donated 2000$ for FD to smash her head in her birthday cake, she did and something hard hit her nose and she started to bleed profusely. She didn't break her nose, but she had to take a couple of minutes of to clean it up.
I don't think she broke her nose. The thing went deep into the nostril and cut in there and caused a lot of bleeding. At least that's what I took away from her retelling of the events.
good lord. Never do random stunts on live camera!! At least she seems fine.
These videos. Felicia's got them connections.
If I had known the livestream was going to garner this much attention I'd have made it a separate thread. I figured a couple people might be interested as a kind of addendum to the protests. It's got less than 4 hours to go so it doesn't make sense to make a thread for it now. Damn you hindsight!

And them connections got connections. Plus, this a great way to centralizing an effort which will ensure a lot of eyeballs and proliferation of the message; consequently, resulting in more donations.
So I got banned from Felicia's stream from a mod because I said "idiots" when people flooded the on-screen game with slurs.
I think a mod thought I was referring to Felicia and everyone. Haha. :(

Yeah. This got me.
What's weird is the arrest seems pretty perfunctory. Not sure if that's cause he's an old man, or 'cause they're not wanting to do it either.
It's sad either way.
And who's idea were the arm bands. How tone def can you be?
If it can be transferable the ban list for Felicia's stream might be worth a set donation.
Fantastic stream and great energy.

Went to the one in DC and everything went smoothly, save for the handful of anti-choice dipshits with a police escort that showed up right as the march was beginning.
