The protests that happened at the macy's day parade are so important specifically because they tried to stop people from finding out about them. I watched the whole parade and didn't see a single sign or protestor, because try as they may to claim the show is live, they've been doing this for decades, they have full control over what footage the camera's capture and when ads conveniently cut away from what's happening. I found out from the few people still talking about the protests that there were any happening at the parade today.
They know we're all getting so tired and sad of hearing about what's happening. They want to make it as difficult as possible for us to interact with it, in hopes that we give up. They want you to say "It's Thanksgiving, we deserve a break from hearing about this."
I know that it hurts and it's stressful to try to help, but we have to keep going if we want anything to change. The writer and actor strikes were successful because they didn't give in.
It doesn't have to be much, you don't have to spend your days doomscrolling footage and fighting zionists. Just email your representatives each day, boycott businesses that support Israel, and hang on tight. As long as there is hope, there is a way through. The Palestinian people will be free.
To the person who held up the Palestine flag on the float during the Macy's parade and full-ass made the news broadcast cut away. Know that you are a hero and there is nothing but respect for the absolute balls it took to do that on live TV.
Eddie starts a live-stream in the living room while he’s setting up his guitar. You can hear Robin teasing them in the background, “Oh, look at that? Two bozos are trending on Twitter for almost fucking on camera. Again.”
Steve: I didn’t know there was a camera!
Robin: There’s always a camera! At this point, you might as well release a sex tape before you do it on accident.
Eddie, with a smirk like he wants to cause trouble: What do you say, babe? We can sell one. Make some money.
Steve: No one wants to see two old men have sex
Eddie: We’ll release an old one
Steve: We don’t have- we have never made a sex tape!
Robin: Isn’t there a music video where-
Steve: Shut it, Robin!
Robin laughs and then laughs harder at the horrified look on Steve face when Eddie addresses his live-stream audience with, “So, any requests from the chat?“
