Video: photographer's victory job shows off stout defenses 7 sec

On the 20th of August, Draq Queen Story Hour returned to Silver Spring. Fearing a repeat of last time's failed disruption attempts or worse, a wall of activists outside defended the entrance. There was no visible sign of MAGAts, Proud Boys, or other would-be defenders. This was literal "peace through strength" where a strong defense may have deterred harassment and prevented trouble from even showing up.

On the 19th of August, the weekly protest at the home of SCOTUS "Justice" Amy Coney Barrett took on some of the character of a dance party. With music and dancing, activists sought to break the curse of misogyny and hate summoned forth by the Court's June 24 vote to permit uncontrolled state prohibitions on abortion.

Video-protesting at Kavanaugh's place in the rain 43 sec

The drenching thunderstorms of Aug 10 cut power, flooded roads, and even forced high/swift water rescues. None of that stopped a hard core of pro-choice protesters from getting past all the obstacles to protest at the home of Supreme Court "Justice" Kavanaugh at the usual time and day.

Trangender activists, allies protest as Fl Board of Health votes to deny care to transgender youth

Submitted by Luke on Sat, 08/06/2022 - 00:40

Video-the rally, the die-in, and the mess inside 1 min 55 sec

On the 5th of August, the Florida Board of Medicine held a "public hearing" on a proposal by FL Governor DeSantis (AKA DeSatan) to deny all gender affirming healthcare to transgender youth under 18-and bring back so-called "conversion therapy" it it's place. Outside, transgender protesters and allies staged a press conference and die-in to condemn this deadly proposal. Suicides and deaths from denial of care are going to soar in Florida, and entire families may have to move to gender fugitive sanctuary states (like California will soon be) to escape the governor's version of "Child Protective Services."
