Hundreds of thousands of Germans are on the streets demonstrating against right-wing extremism. (This photo from Munich.)
Let's get off our asses, America.
Hunderttausende gegen Rechtsextremismus

Many more Germans protested against Covid measures.

Without the support of parties, unions or other big structures we were more.

There was extreme police violence and almost no coverage in the papers.

This now is against what exactly?
We've been sliding into fascism for years, and it has very little to do with the AfD (which I won't vote for, just sayin) and everything with our government.

Americans! Do you need a catchy song for protest marches against #Trump and #Elon?

In Germany, we sometimes sing this one: youtube.com/watch?v=lx7QR-N0rk…

It can easily be converted to English:

Stand up, fight back and resist
To oppose the fascist iron fist!
Up the barricades, all!
Up the barricades, all!

It seems to be. I saw the one and reposted it with alt text. The other one I've seen is about a complete shut down (labour, purchasing etc) Do what you can! I just hope people do Something. 🙂👍

just wanted to raise awareness if there are two movements so they might find one another. I am German, so not involved in this fight, we have our own with elections ahaed and the fascists and fascist enablers polling at over 50%. Wish us luck.

If you plan on going to a protest this week, be very careful when posting photos of others online. Especially close-ups of identifiable people. Your threat model might not be their threat model.

Whenever possible in context,
ask for consent first.

Privacy is team work! 🔒🙌

I suggest that folks don't take any photos of political actions/protests at any time if they don't want those photos to be used for further repression. Better yet, they should leave their camera at home since it's likely built into the spy in their pocket (their phone)

There's a document that will help in this discussion, printable and readable pdf versions are available here:

If you want good training for organizing protests, mit information, legal awareness of protests, how to keep yourself safe, organize a protest effectively - find a climate protection organization near you. They know.

Claro que sí, aquí tienes una descripción de texto alternativo para la imagen:

La viñeta muestra a cuatro jinetes del Apocalipsis a caballo: Guerra, Hambruna, Peste y Muerte. Cada jinete, con túnicas oscuras y capuchas, monta un caballo de color claro. A su lado, un quinto jinete, también con túnica y capucha, monta un caballo similar pero lleva una tableta y representa la Desinformación. Un bocadillo de diálogo indica que la Desinformación es el "jinete" que se está preguntando. El fondo es de un tono rojizo oscuro.

Hey fellow Americans! Please show up for your state's 50501 protest on Wednesday at your state capitol building.

50 states, 50 protests, 1 day.

I know it's a work day for most, but it's happening from 12-7pm. If it's possible, show up and let your voice be heard.

Bonus points: print some copies of the poster for your state and put them up them around your town!

50501.info/

Please boost. We desperately need some anti-fash energy.

@martinlentink @AlgoCompSynth @Lorry The world needs a hyper-realistic version of The Martian movie poster with Elon's face instead of Matt Damon's.

Imagine if he really found himself in that situation. He would be so fucked.

Ohio 11th District US House Representative Shontel Brown @RepShontelBrown is on Mastodon and today used her platform here to call out the illegal take over of government systems.

Follow courageous public servant Hon. Brown and let her know she is welcome here on Public Social Media.

Elon is not an elected official.

He is not a senate confirmed appointee.

He is leading a fabricated dept. without Congressional oversight

And he clearly lacks any understanding of government.

He is dangerous and must be stopped.
