(82,849 posts)They thought they were picking on a bunch of soft, crunchy-granola hippie types who would just melt away in the presence of the awesome manliness of the proud boys. Incorrect strategy.

(85,100 posts)the proud boys. We get this. We've confronted bigger than they'll EVER be. And we ARE bigger than these pipsqueaks will ever be.
I've been a protester since I was in fourth grade. I'm old enough to be their grandma, most of 'em.

(85,100 posts)Wish I could but I've been such a raging news junkie for so long it's a tough habit to break.
The Indivisible work we do on our Research & Writing team kinda keeps me tethered to it.
I always kinda feel like, if our side were an army marching through some territory, my position would be toward the tail end of the marchers. On alert as the group moves forward to head off attackers seeking to get us from the sides and behind, or catch up to us and chase us down.

(85,100 posts)Thank you! Oregon hearts are with you guys in Texas. It must be miserable to have a trump suck-ass for governor. And that miserable lieutenant governor, Dan Patrick, is a REAL horror show. You have my sincere and heartfelt sympathy!

(4,074 posts)Those old'n young hippie peace-nik antifa Momdhis and all the pops and kiddhis have been rocking to drum circles Saturdays, any old day, for years.
Not to say drums don't sound everywhere. I can see success in a well-organized, everyone drum, drum where you are, drum with friends, drum in the square, drum around the Whitehouse, drum in the face of fascist frenzy, drumming mass movement.
Dance with the drums Athenas and Athenos, dance to the rhythm.
The cops are uptight, simply don't be them.
Let it all hang out throw-off your clothes.
Let it all hang out save for your nose.
