I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food. I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.

Please do not protest as a fucking Handmaid unless you have a Xena or Wonder Woman (orig, not fucking GG) outfit underneath. Protest as a strong woman. There are many from history that people can protest as. (Or from fiction)

Including today! Opus Dei membership is secretive, but their fingerprints are all over the current attempted theocratic coup of the US. If there's a right-wing Catholic in the US, chances are good they're a member of Opus Dei. Alito and Thomas are definitely members.

The more available photos of a protest the higher the likelihood that the state will use them to prosecute people. Do not contribute to the problem by giving them something to subpoena. A few reporters working a crowd is less of a problem than 100s or 1000s of people doing it.

“Footage, obtained by the outlet, captured the musician face-down in the mud, with her instrument about two feet to her left, struggling as what appears to be a federal agent straddled her backside. A police officer stood next to the pair.” The Feds then jailed her across state lines. For music.
