Picture is my bookbag that I wore to the no kings day celebration in fort Walton Beach, Florida. There's little coverage of it so I thought it would worth blogging on the fediverse about it

Support for Palestine at a time when Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians and launched an unprovoked war on Iran is a good thing. Fascism will find excuses to target you anyways, the answer isn't to play ball, but to seek safety in numbers and organizing. Rallying around correct messaging is the point of protest, not just saying "we are mildly upset but don't want to actually do anythint!"

Rallying behind a foreign flag as cars burn is nothing but photo ops for the opposing side. Speak all you want of rallying together, but i think a decent job was done doing that without creating pointless controversy.

Supporting Palestine is not "pointless."

I like this you're completely ignorant of the events but you're certain that there are cars burning.

But I'll say you're welcome you wanted me to wear the flag of heroes that died trying to save babies aka Palestine flag because it helps the opposition in some way
