Where does Soros get the money to pay all these protesters?? /s
Can confirm, was inspiring!
multiple flavors of fascist flags
not a single flag for palestine
- not a single flag for palestine
  I actually doubt that. Many of the smaller ones than this had plenty of them. I'd be willing to bet there were people with some smaller ones that just aren't easily visible from high up. You can only make out the really large flags and signs from this angle
  
  fair point. i guess it's just disheartening to see half a dozen ukraine flags prominently displayed while palestine appears to be forgotten (the u.s. flags, while revolting, make some sense here).
So what's the plan here beyond protesting?
- Hopefully to leave and block an interstate.
- The 50501 movement also had done some smaller boycotts when the crowd sizes were smaller. With these larger crowds, they'll likely be able to organize some larger boycotts with more of a byte
50501?
- 50 states, 50 protests, 1 movement (against Trump & Musk)
  It's actually much more than 50 protests now because each state has way more than 1. Originally it was just at each state capitol, but they have grown larger and more numerous each time they happen
  
  Sounds like a good time for a general strike
