In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"
WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.
He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

A historic day for the Xinka people, who have engaged in a court-ordered consultation with the gov't on the Escobal mine for 7 years - a process that would not have been as robust but for their leadership. Yesterday, they said no, in part because the state lacks the capacity to manage the risks.
Xinka People Say “No” to the Escobal Mine. The Xinka Indigenous People are telling the Guatemalan government that they say no to a silver mine owned by Pan American Silver. This marks the culmination of a court-mandated consultation process. 🔗 bit.ly/xinka-answer
