Convergence posted:I think next weekend is shaping up to be a good bellweather as to whether or not you need a get-the-gently caress-out-of-the-US plan stashed in the back of your mind "In a recent study, Boston was ranked the fifth most liberal city in the United States, falling behind only San Francisco, Calif. Washington, D.C., Seattle, Wash. and Oakland, Calif, according to The Economist." This is not gonna go well.

Bicyclops posted:Seeing the Boston Holocaust Memorial as a child was a huge part of forming my understanding of oppression and social justice. I'm really upset. City Councillor, Tito Jackson, is going to be with the counter-protesters, but I guess our Mayor dropped out. Of course Charlie Baker can't find the time in his calendar. Mine was getting called a Kike while on school field trip to a Holocaust museum when I was 12 Literally the only time in my entire life that I have ever heard anyone use it

Spaced God posted:They can't deny use of the space for political reasons, but they can for safety reasons, which is exactly what they did. I like this name for him. Nice alliteration, and he deffo is. Also, yeah, as long as they're expecting some sort of publicity, they'll still show up and try to do something somewhere. Although neither College Station nor Bryan doesn't really have any other highly visible public areas to do a gathering like that. JohnCompany posted:Hearing from folks I'm close to still at aTm (I'm from Texas, have family who teach there, friends who went) that idiots being idiots, they started talking about bringing (and, knowing them, using) guns and such and so it is being shut on safety grounds. Sounds about right. And a huge relief that they're shutting it down. I'm 10,000 miles away at sea for another six weeks and my fiancee expressed intent on going to the counter protest once I told her about this.

If anyone is a Wilco fan, they just released a song called All Lives You Say? with all proceeds going to the Southern Poverty Law Center. And if you don't like Wilco or don't know about them, buy it anyway. It's a chill rear end song that calls All Lives Matter people thin skinned AND it supports a good cause. https://wilcohq.bandcamp.com/

the black husserl posted:Hasn't the mayor of Boston already said "gently caress no we're not letting that happen"? There's unfortunately gently caress-all they can do, according to Tito Jackson, unless they erect a stage or talk through a bullhorn. Some of the leaders are dropping out for fear of bodily harm, but chances are good they'll scrape together a few dozen.

Tim Whatley posted:https://twitter.com/adamtvaccaro/status/897229847075971072 Incidentally, if someone's never seen the monument and is in Boston it's absolutely worth a detour. It's extremely well done, easily accessed (right by City Hall) and understated but chilling. Plus afterwards you can go grab a meal like half a block away at the Union Oyster House.

But staging a huge counter-protest in the NEXT such demonstration, with actual public figures there to make it official and start welding the opposition back together and show the size of the shitstorm waiting those who try to sit on the fence about it...that would be something to see.

Some of the leaders are dropping out for fear of bodily harm, but chances are good they'll scrape together a few dozen. The little poo poo who planned it is playing some kind of game, claiming that he filed a permit and then calling Invictus to say that it's off and he shouldn't come, then posting on the event page that it's still on. He's 17 and lives with his parents in Peabody. He's the 4chan kind of nazi.

Tzen posted:This owns. However, kicking a statue probably isn't a good idea. I like the guy spitting though. Knew a guy who'd kicked something of about that weight and solidity when he was super drunk. A few years later his doctor asked him what the gently caress he'd done to his foot and why he hadn't gone to a doctor immediately after. Turns out he'd essentially split it in two and just hadn't bothered getting it checked out properly, just walking around with a perma-broken foot for years until it started swelling up even worse.
