Parkrose Permaculture on YouTube explains the purpose of our protests. We've had several throughout the states, and at least 3 mass national protests iirc. Our protests are NOT meant to be the only tool used, nor quick fixes. So please take some time to learn about them if you are still confused.

Perfectly stated.

Why do I only critique white culture?

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

Shubh Deepavali! Wishing everyone a very happy Diwali.

Across our city, families are lighting diyas and celebrating the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair.

New York shines brighter tonight because of the people who bring their light and traditions home.

"I do find it interesting that the 'All Lives Matter' crowd is also the 'Feed Them to the Alligators' crowd...." - MrBishop007

"Just get a better job" crowd
"Then don't have sex" crowd
"Pray the gay away" crowd
"Don't have kids you cannot afford" crowd

It really isn't about all lives mattering.

That's the thing that is so aggravating. If you don't like abortion, gay marriage, leftist books, education, non-Christian faiths, healthcare, etc, then you do not have to have those! The REST of us would like the freedom to live our lives authentically and safely.

No, we can’t just agree to disagree on our opinions and live peacefully together when one person’s opinion is that the other can’t live in peace. Everyone already knows this, yet people pretend otherwise when it inconveniences them

One of many reasons Cuomo is losing (besides having sexually abused women) is because not only New Yorkers are fed up with the corrupt political system currently being abused by politicians, so are all American voters! Mamdani is seen as transparent, and is in tune with voters nation wide!

So the people will also have to be held accountable for their role. But it pales in comparison to that of those in power. The souls of our nations are ruled by dark, nefarious forces, and we as societies will need to find ways to reconcile that, address it, and move forward together.

Magzie @magziepie1920.bsky.social · 10h

This point is something that haunts me. I'm a big supporter of people, not governments. However, people need to hold their governments accountable, and there is a large number of Israelis who support the actions of their government. Yet, there are a large number of Americans supporting fascism.

And an instance of BS! If it doesn’t matter don’t bring it up at the debate. If it does matter then own what side you’re on.

And another. Note these are just videos Parkrose made in response to the NK2 protests. I'm watching them now, which is why I am sharing. It's convenient for me. You'll need to do the extra clicking and scrolling to find her many, many other videos describing the purpose of our protests.

No Kings 2 made a fool of Mike Johnson and the GOP. Here's how.

Trump hosted a dinner last week for donors helping fund his ballroom project.

Today, crews are starting construction and literally tearing down parts of the White House.

It's day 20 of the government shutdown and this is what he's prioritizing?
