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.

In 2021, two of my la times colleagues and I launched the dia de muertos digital altar. The idea was to replicate the sense of community found across DDM events across SoCal, which had been shut down bc of the pandemic. This marks the fifth year we are doing this.
