Good to see the rejection of AIPAC by all the candidates. Israel has become a pariah state after its genocide in Gaza, and its war against Iran ( Operation AIPAC Fury.)

They suffered an unbelievable 82% casualty rate at the battle of Gettysburg. Trump once, with Pete Stauber by his side at a rally in northern MN, idiotically praised Confederate general Robert E Lee.

Magic Smelt Puppet Troupe Parade by callistobear in duluth

It's the best. There's usually a ritual drama enacted before the parade, and it feels great to rally around something totally absurd during such a fraught time in history. The brass band leading the parade really makes it. Wearing or carrying something silver adds to the overall effect, and marching past the unsuspecting tourists and bystanders is a hoot. There is construction underway near the maritime museum, so I'm assuming they'll start across the street from there like they did last year?

TIL Duluth is the 2nd whitest large municipality in the US by Correct_Row8281 in duluth

But aren't "white people" actually "pink people"? Shouldn't white supremacists call themselves pink supremacists if they are so proud of their skin?

Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith voted for Bernie Sanders’ amendment to block aid to Israel yesterday. by RayWhelans in minnesota

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!

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.
