Telorand ( @Telorand@reddthat.com ) 36•17 days agoAgain with the short notice. Y’all, people have jobs, people have families. Arrangements have to be made and contingencies have to be planned. Where will you stay? What if you get arrested? Who’s going to watch your kids?
If you want good participation, especially with such high numbers, you can’t just give people two weeks notice.
Perhapsjustsniffit ( @Perhapsjustsniffit@lemmy.ca ) 16•17 days agoWhy do you expect this to be easy?

If you can’t be one of the tens of thousands of people coming out, you can do your part online. Or at the very least, prep your family the best you can.
Telorand ( @Telorand@reddthat.com ) 4•17 days agoThanks. I’ll try to keep up on the happenings so I can be more prepared.
The Octonaut ( @TheOctonaut@mander.xyz ) 11•17 days agoYou lads are hilarious. Can I have the day off to protest the fascist oligarch boss? Please?
Perhapsjustsniffit ( @Perhapsjustsniffit@lemmy.ca ) 4•17 days agoStill mindblowing every time I see it.
RandomPrivacyGuy ( @RandomPrivacyGuy@lemm.ee ) 10•17 days agoyikes… you can’t even make time for A DAY to fight fascist. i guess you don’t mind after all?
Telorand ( @Telorand@reddthat.com ) 9•17 days agoI don’t live anywhere near DC or a capitol. It’s not a simple matter of just showing up.
Nougat ( @Nougat@fedia.io ) 12•17 days agoMe either. Not everything is “for” me. There are people who it is for. More publicity means it’ll reach more poeple who it could be for. If you happen to know someone who’s going, kick them some money to help cover gas, water, food, first aid, whatever.
Telorand ( @Telorand@reddthat.com ) 2•17 days agoGood idea.
MummifiedClient5000 ( @MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk ) 10•17 days agoDid they even bother to send an evite or do they expect you to add it to your calender yourself?
Rhaedas ( @Rhaedas@fedia.io ) 8•17 days agoThat’s why there are limited numbers. The solution is simple, get rid of the restrictions that stop most people. Once enough people lose their job and have their family in danger, they’ll protest. They’ll do more than protest.
If he cuts social security enough, he might generate the same impulse from seniors who have the time, and the ones who are able will show up quite livid. I don’t think he realizes that you can’t push people all the way and not have consequences, you do have to keep some semblance of bread and circus intact for control.
Sigilos ( @BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network ) 3•16 days agoThat’s the only reason I’m not attending, I don’t have anyone to watch my kids that weekend and it would be irresponsible to bring a 6 year old to something that could break into violence so easily. One cop or bad actor who pushes the crowd wrong…
I wish I could be there, but instead I’m going to teach my kids about what’s going on and why the protests are happening. With video, if I can find any livestream of it.
Match!! ( @match@pawb.social ) 12•17 days agoyou have my support once again but y’all really need to start doing long-term encampments of DC in particular
