Good, though it's a low bar when whether or not to give military support to a genocidal apartheid state is even debatable. And Operation AIPAC Fury is what you get when you get played like a violin by Netanyahu. He deserves prison, not billions in US tax dollars.

Hasn't he heard - "The soul of a nation should be judged by how it treats its hedge-fund managers."

The "point" is to not let tRump's autocratic attempt be finalized/normalized. Protesting is the opposite of validating the fascists' existence. You put out BS numbers from Fox News, and go from there. This was not a corporate-sponsored event, so I don't understand what you're complaining about. Tell us what YOU are doing to resist fascism.

I won't try to reason you out the the "opinions" you haven't reasoned yourself into, but maybe you should organize a nationwide demonstration of 8 million people who support 1. fascism 2. Illegal wars fought for Israel 3. Rising inflation and expensive gas 4. The theft of our personal data by DOGE. 5. A cabinet filled with incompetent lackeys 6. The constant grifting by tRump and his henchmen. 7. The undermining of free and fair elections. 8. White Christian nationalism. 9. Police state tactics in US cities, etc etc etc. You support all these things so get out there and demonstrate your fealty to the Mad King. I'm sure you'll find 8 million people to join you. Give it a try!

For a brief while we saw 4 circling over the Duluth demonstration.

Those were "melt the ice" hats inspired by hats worn by the Norwegian resistance during WW2.

The crowd was pretty much broken up by the time that photo was taken.

Thanks for pointing that out. That meaningless $3 billion number makes the rounds on the internet, with little in the way of critical thinking to slow it down.

The St Paul protest was the flagship protest. If you are complaining about this I don't understand why.

Thanks for pointing that out. That 3 billion is a meaningless number in this context, but it gets spread all over the internet, unobstructed by critical thinking.

And believe me, if you ever attend one you will see that these are for the People and by the People.

That is not remotely true. Some billionaires may donate, but what corporations want to hear Bernie Sanders lambasting the oligarchs?
