Nintendo is so funny man. They'll just casually drop the 4th game in one of their biggest franchises and then quickly move on to an extended look at their new thumb wrestling minigame.

Took a philosophy class that covered assisted dying. One guy wanted to die because he couldn't afford his disability equipment so his life was shit and he had no independence. Apparently "why don't they just give him the equipment instead of killing him" was the wrong answer?????

Some thoughts about the No Kings "protests" today:

I attended in NY today - but was left feeling a bit perplexed. Amanda Seals says it best: “These are rallies, not protests. Rallies are for rallying around an idea, or a team - and that is a time of concerted celebration or information sharing. There are no clear demands being made or no clear action being asked of the attendees. Protests are different. Protests are meant to demonstrate the might of the people to the powers that be. It’s supposed to make them “shook”. It’s important that we identify what actual resistance is. You’re actually part of CONTROLLED opposition, not organized opposition, and the two are not the same."

First of all, the protests asked everyone who wanted to attend to register in a database. They could only get the full details of the rally start time and exact location if they register. This is concerning on two levels. First of all, it’s an obvious fundraising tool for the Democrats. Once they have your information, they’ll use it to flood you with emails and texts asking you for money. Secondly, and more seriously, in an age of surveillance and an administration that is vowing to go after their political enemies, this puts people in a precarious and possibly dangerous position.

When we occupied Wall Street, we did not ask people to register. When we had Black Lives Matter rallies, there was no database. It’s complete bullshit to have one.

Secondly, the No Kings rallies were only TWO HOURS LONG!. Two hours. For real. If you get there after the start time, you may be lucky to only have an hour holding you sign and expressing your discontent with the current state of the nation. I have never been to a protest in all my years of activism that had a 2 hour limit.

I don’t remember Martin Luther King, Jr. ever saying “We must sacrifice. We must protest. But when we protest, we must only do it for two hours!”. Maybe I missed that speech.

There were NO DEMANDS. Not one. Nothing. People simply held signs saying how much they hated Trump. I mean, sure, makes sense but - No demands on what to do about ICE? Or healthcare? Or - god forbid - the continuing genocide and occupation of Gaza (yes it’s still going).

The thing that really got to me was that all these limits - having an official sign-up to be a part of this but only for two-hours “protest”- is that it seems designed to LIMIT and CONTROL opposition to the Trump administration simply to sayingì“We don’t want Trump”. The absence of any clear demands made AT ALL showed that the organizers did not want there to be demands on policy and wanted to limit ho ⁶⁶871 6665 0402w people expressed their opposition.

There were also people going around reminding everyone to vote for Democrats and not to allow their friends to vote third party or not vote at all. One woman came up to me saying that and followed with “It’s just not acceptable”.

When I attended protests in NYC over wars/military actions, racial injustice or income inequality, we didn’t have permits. We didn’t have a time limit. We didn’t stand perfectly on the sidewalk holding a sign waiting for someone to honk. We took the streets. We were disruptive. We made people in power worried. I know this because of the way the powerful reacted.

During Occupy Wall Street, there were a number of uber-capitalists writing articles or being interviewed on how this was a warning sign for capitalism. Protests are supposed to make people in power worry. Protests are designed to make the comfortable UNCOMFORTABLE.

When racial justice protests happened in NYC to try to get the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed - the activists literally sat down and blocked traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge for hours on end. Rosa Parks didn’t refuse to give her seat up for only 10 minutes, she simply refused to give it up at all.

good art has something to say, and hayley said it loud. performing a song of this weight on national tv, uplifting black artistry, and using her platform at a time of censorship and extreme tension in the US. this is demanding that you LISTEN. this is powerful.
