Much (most?) of those protests in other countries are outside of US embassies, so sends a message to the US still

It also puts notice to the country you're within to not treat the US as business as usual

Ah oops, yes there is one in Vancouver didn't catch that

The other ones you probably noticed were not that and were part of Alaska, just with some really big bubbles that make it look further inland

Don't know the organizers or anything, but I'd imagine the heavy foreign aid gutting is probably part of it

It's far more global than people think. Here's global estimates in 2019

We estimate that over 90% of farmed animals globally are living in factory farms at present. This includes an estimated 74% of farmed land animals (vertebrates only) and virtually all farmed fish.[1] However, there is substantial uncertainty in these figures given the land animal estimates’ heavy reliance on information from Worldwatch Institute with unclear methodology[2] and limited data on fish farming.

More than just Europe actually, but you really stopped being able to tell just how many were in the US if I zoomed out further

Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Malawi, Australia, also all have at least one No Kings protests planned too

EDIT: and Canada

Yes, there is no update on their website's newsroom press releases is what I am saying. Last one was posted online a day before they tweeted this one

[-] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

They did not post on their newsroom or anything yet as far as I could find, just their official social media accounts

LAPD posted a screenshot of the text originally. See the link in the body https://xcancel.com/LAPDPIO/status/1931538326600995262#m

It's not as much about each specific thing as much as is about the overarching story. That Trump was at a UFC event and stayed while calling the national guard, that he didn't call them in on Jan 6th, that the LAPD called the protests mostly peaceful, etc.

People need motivation to act on their convictions. Visible push back from others is hugely important to seeing it as more unjustified and that they can refuse unlawful orders

It's also a spectrum. Vaguely feeling that something is probably wrong vs seeing stories about how it's wrong are different

Public opinion matters a lot in this movement - not because Noem will care - but because it influences how the members themselves of the national guard respond. If the nation guard members think it is unjustified, they are more likely to not follow any unlawful orders

A Guatemalan national who says he was wrongfully deported to Mexico is back in the United States, his legal team told CNN, in what appears to mark the first time the Trump administration has brought back a migrant after a judge ordered the administration to facilitate their return.

[...]

He is now in Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s custody, Realmuto told CNN.

Estimates are still quite high globally too. Around 94% of all globally farmed animals are factory farmed. 74% of all farmed land animals are factory farmed and virtually all farmed fish

They are being suppressed in media coverage, but there are people protesting. Media coverage paints a false picture that no one in the US is fighting back

Here's one from today with 1000 people in Boise, Idaho

Here's a super incomplete timeline with just a handful of the nationwide protests. I'm missing a lot, I'm just showing your the photos I had from recent memory


8 days ago there were national protest for science funding cuts. Here's the main one in DC


11 days ago there were nationwide protests in all 50 US state capitols + DC + Many cities within those states. This was part of the 50501 movement

Portland, Oregon

Monroe, Wisconsin

San Fransisco, California

Albany, New York

Raleigh, North Carolina

Richmond, Virginia

Austin, Texas

Protests Outside Fox News in New York City


16 days ago there were large protest in the Iowa Statehouse


19 days ago, a protest in Cherry Hill, New Jersy outside Tesla Showroom as part of a nationwide movement protesting Telsas. There have been tons more than just this one and these happen basically every day


21 days ago, large protests in DC for Ukraine aid


And so on. There's a lot more going on than just this

Headline undersells how he did this during the 90's during the Don't Ask Don't Tell era. Was not nearly as socially or politically acceptable then as it is now in the US to do that
