I'm so glad the George Floyd protests solved police brutality!
This is why protesting should only be treated as the initial rallying cry to garner support. Without the millions protesting willing to engage in direct action — like general strikes, permanent boycotts, etc — there will never be meaningful change.
honestly my state saw a lot of meaningful change out of it
Honestly actually thanks for this - doom scrolling late at night and feeling 0/10 hopeless.
Shit's bleak, but if there's legitimately nothing we can do about it we might as well lay on the railroad tracks, eh?
hey hey hey. we got 3 million people out to the protests last weekend. the republican house is getting stymied and criticism is rallying from all directions. trump's already running out of steam and we've barely begun fighting him
5 million is the official tally! 😁
