#protests and riots

[crowley-winter-boots]

PROTEST ON FEBUARY 5TH AT STATE CAPITALS. Unfortunately, I cannot go as I'll still be in school and I do not have transportation! Please spread the word to anyone you can. These protests are IMPORTANT and could very well, if successful, save what is left of America.

Donald Trump NEEDS to be out of office. He is a king at best, but well on his way to becoming a dictator. American principals include neither of these, yet people who claim to want to make America great again follow him like he's our savior. He is already destroying us, and will continue to do so because the people in power not only are letting him, but they WANT HIM TO.

BE SAFE AND REMEMBER, VIOLENCE IS A SOLUTION. IT WORKS FASTER AND IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN WORDS. Not saying throw that molotov, but if it comes to it, get to throwing. Wear full face masks, even for just protesting, because even if you trick the AI into not recognizing you, cops can and will.

Rage Against Elon Musk Turns Tesla Into a Target

Tesla charging stations were set ablaze near Boston on Monday. Shots were fired at a Tesla dealership in Oregon after midnight on Thursday. Arrests were made at a nonviolent protest at a Tesla dealership in Lower Manhattan on Saturday. The electric car company Tesla increasingly found itself in police blotters across the country this week, more than seven weeks after President Trump’s second…

a random first aid/field medic tip,

if someone gets stabbed or shot in a area that cannot be tourniated/bandaged easily (ie the hip, shoulder, stomach,) just applying pressure won't really help.

you need to PACK the wound first. most people who aren't trained in first aid don't know this,

simplified how you pack a wound is; first see where the blood is coming from (the vein or artery that will most likely be severed).

then secondly; you get what ever material you have preferably clean gauze, but t-shirts, masks, bandanas, can be used in emergencys, any fabric really.

then how you pack a wound is; shoving the fabric in the wound against the bleeding while applying pressure, you do this fabric over fabric (finger over finger with fabric) till the wound is completely packed.

THEN you start applying pressure with more fabric over the wound. if the person who got injured is still conscious this whole process will hurt like HELL. but them being in pain is better then them being dead.

also remember when applying a tourniquet do it a couple inches above the wound because veins and arteries suck up into the body after being severed, also don't stop applying pressure on the tourniquet untill you SEE the bleeding slow down and there's no pulse in the limb you can feel.

(i am not officially trained in first aid so take this with a grain of salt and do your own research but i hope this helps some people who didn't know)

Remember children!

If you are going to a passive riot look for someone with an armband and cargo shorts, that is a dirty pig, they want you to be aggressive OUT THEM as a pig.

The armband is to protect them from other cops.

The armband is usually a clothe or bandana just under the sleeve of the shirt.

DO NOT LISTEN to this pig.

Be safe my children!

55 years ago Marsha P. Johnson threw a brick and started the largest queer movement in history.

5 years ago George Floyd was unjustly killed. Protests and riots in all 50 states and across the world began.

ALL minorities are in danger now. People of color, queer people, trans people, people with disabilities, EVERYONE.

What happened to throwing bricks?

Why aren’t we all in the streets right now demanding change?

Why are we fighting each other when the real enemy is kidnapping our brothers and sisters and passing laws that would throw everyone deeper into poverty?

Stop this nonsense.

“Violence is never the answer” As RFK Jr calls for keeping a registry and tracking autistic people.

“Violence is never the answer” As anti-trans legislation in the US and the UK are being proposed and passed.

“Violence is never the answer” As the Israeli government genocides Palestinians and demonizes them from birth.

“Violence is never the answer” As the US Supreme Court repealed Roe v Wade and men were going around saying “your body my choice”

“Violence is never the answer” As Iranian women were protesting the death of Mahsa Amini and were subsequently silenced and forgotten.

“Violence is never the answer” As the Chinese government rounded up Uyghurs and threw them into concentration camps.

“Violence is never the answer” As the CIA assassinated civil rights leader MLK Jr, the most prominent voice calling for peaceful protests in his time.

They don’t care how peaceful you are, they don’t care how loud you are, they will try to silence you. If you belong to a minority group and want your rights, they simply do not care and will meet your peace with violence.

If you live in the UK and watch/read the news, then I'm sure you're aware that labour MP, Dan Norris, has just been arrested on child sexual assault and rape.

I would like to know if there's anything anyone is going to do about this.

Because I am SO FUCKING SICK OF PEOPLE GETTING AWAY WITH THIS SHIT

I swear to god, if there isn't at LEAST a riot about this.
