"Fuck the 4th" protest in Lakeland, FL brings out fundies, anti-Christian signs-and an unlawful arrest

Submitted by Luke on Mon, 07/04/2022 - 15:28

Lakeland, FL's "fuck the 4th" protest drew a crowd worthy of Orlando or even DC, and like DC drew a half dozen fundamentalist Christian counterprotesters. After about an hour and a half, cops suddently arrested a 13 year old for nothing more than using a bullhorn. She was out within 3 hours but with charges pending.

After the big post-Dobbs June 29 protests at the homes of "Justices " Kavanaugh's and Roberts, the Supreme Court's marshall sent letters to MD and VA begging them to enforce laws that supposedly ban but actually only regulate residential protests. On Saturday, the 2nd of June, Kavanaugh got a special visit from protesters reading the First Amendment in front of his house.

Amy Coney Barrett is infamous for two things: her vote to overturn Roe v Wade in the Dobbs case, and her former leadership rank of "handmaid" in the People of Praise fundamentalist Christian cult. The 30th of June was the first regularily scheduled protest outside her house since the Dobbs ruling came down the previous week.

Big crowd at residential protest against Alito three days after Dobbs

Submitted by Luke on Tue, 06/28/2022 - 00:33

On the 27th of June, the weekly residential protest against Supreme Court "Justice" Alito drew several times as many people as it had in the past. People are furious that SCOTUS has decided to legalize imprisoning (and possibly even executing) women and doctors over abortion, giving states a nearly free hand.

On the 25th of June, protesters returned to the entrance to Gorsuch's private road community for the 7th time. This was just one day after the Supreme Court threw half the US population under the bus by overturning Roe V Wade. Since then, the home addresses of the antichoice judges have been widely shared on social media and these protests are growing

Continuous protest at SCOTUS resembles early days of BLM Plaza

Submitted by Luke on Sat, 06/25/2022 - 14:57

The ongoing protests at SCOTUS(at least 27 hours at this writing) have taken on some of the atmosphere of the early days of Black Lives Matter Plaza, though with some key differences. So far, things are noisy and confrontational, but no tear gas and flashbangs as the antichoice protesters don't have them and the cops have limited their involvement to displays of aggression.

Video-massive booing at SCOTUS, sounds like a fight about to start but cools off on its own 16 sec
