The "No Kings" Protest Could Be Renamed To "No White Supremacy" - Details For Beacon's June 14th Protest

Note From The Editor:

Before we all meet to protest T and his administration again, it is important to note that “both sides” have been kings. Part of the reason for how we got here is that both Democrats and Republicans have acted like kings, and the people impacted by their legislation did not appreciate it. One example was during COVID, when businesses were shut down, businesses had to comply with a myriad of new and ever-changing rules created at the federal, state and county levels, and people were forced to take a brand new vaccine. These actions had real impacts that created rebellion. I speak as a vaccinator, and as a registered Independent. Have never been a Democrat, and was a Republican by birth only and was glad to shed that.

I wish I could tell you that this video of this mother or this auntie or this sister having her baby with a pacifier snatched out of her arms by “law enforcement” to be replaced by handcuffs would be the defining moment of ending all of this.

But it’s not. And it won’t be.
Because there have been so many defining moments.
So many burning, melting bodies in Palestine by Israel IOF military.
So many pictures.
Remember that toddler who washed up on the beach?
She was Syrian and she was a refugee during the Obama administration.Obama had that “red line,” and she crossed it.
Her dead body floated past past it on the beach.
But nothing changed.
Obama still used drones to kill civilians.

And this was not acknowledged.

Now we have a genocide.
A slaughter of people.
The Congo yes. For our iPhones.
Palestinians. For so, so long. For white supremacy.

This No Kings protest is happening in Beacon on Saturday from 1-4pm and starts at the Post Office with the gathering on Veterans Place. It’s organized in part by Indivisible_845 . That’s great.

But Indivisible as a nationwide organizing effort has never called for the end of the occupation of Palestine by Israel and the United States. They have called for a “de-escalation,” and for a ceasefire.

But the United States funded the escalation. Provided weapons for the escalation.

This protest should be called No White Supremacy.

T is just making this whole country a reality show of violence, power and ego.

Anyone supporting the taking of Brown people is supporting the ripping apart of stolen Africans dragged to this continent. Slavery. Anyone supporting the taking of “undocumented” supports enslavement.

Where are the #donttreadonme🐍 people? Where are you? I’m co-opting your flag. It will hang with my 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

According to Wikipedia, that yellow flag design “proclaims an assertive warning of vigilance and willingness to act in defense against coercion…This has led it to be associated with the ideas of individualism and liberty…It is often used in the United States as a symbol of right-libertarianism, classical liberalism, and small government, as well as for distrust or defiance against authorities and government.”
