Leftist and ecologist looking to push back against the current administration in the USA. Protest is our right and the best way to make our voices heard!
Here's a great protest sign/piece of art I saw at a protest in Oregon yesterday. There was also a nearly life-sized orca whale puppet with a message supporting NOAA! Lots of great artists at protests.

When Trump defies court orders and says that he can abduct, deport, and imprison an innocent man indefinitely without due process, he's saying that he can abduct, deport, and imprison anyone indefinitely without due process.
What do you think all of his executive orders are for?

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.
Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them.
I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

A leading Yellowstone ecosystem wildlife biologist said Thursday that President Donald Trump’s assault on public land conservation amounts to “management based on ignorance.” Grizzly bear researcher Chris Servheen warned of a perfect storm threatening the wild West as we know it.

Demonstrators on Yale's campus protested an upcoming talk by Israel's far-right national security minister at Shabtai, a Jewish society based at Yale that isn't affiliated with the university.
Yale officials disrupted the encampment before midnight and protesters dispersed.

"A new review of 50 studies finds protests tend to sway media coverage and public opinion toward the climate cause, w/o appearing to backfire, even when disruptive tactics are used... one study in Germany found the Green Party received a larger portion of the vote in areas w/climate protests."

The evidence is in: Protests can persuade people, and maybe even change how they vote, according to recent studies.

Today was truly inspiring. Something happened that we’ve never seen before, you made noise in places that rarely see protests like this. Communities across traditionally conservative areas hosted historic turnouts.

142. Five Questions About Domestic Use of the Military
The federal government's authorities to use the military for domestic law enforcement are old, broad, and vague. They may soon become far more relevant than they've been for quite a long time.
