Re: No Kings Day - Oct ,17, 2026
I went to a No Kings rally here in Honolulu in front of the state capitol building. There was a small crowd, lots of homemade signs, and at one point even a bagpiper piping "Scotland the Brave". The main groups present were League of Women Voters, ACLU, and Refuse Fascism (which I see very often ...

Re: Another January 6th
I think this is the most likely scenario. The establishment Democrats are very hostile to left Democrats and DSA types. They will trade token concessions from Trump for complicity in getting rid of leftists and Moslems like el-Sayed. And the Supreme Court will go along with this and ignore precedent ...

Re: It hurts the solidarity movement to celebrate the October 7 massacre
Some thoughts on history, that may add some perspective to the debate over the "Al Aqsa flood":
In 1955, the war of the Algerian people for liberation from French colonialism had reached a dismal point. The counterinsurgency waged by France against the FLN had been very successful, to the point ...

Re: On the upcoming French election and the need to actively oppose the far right
There is apparently a large-scale uprising of French students protesting the poor state of schools and cuts to the educational budget. See this story from the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/02/student-protests-shut-schools-across-france This could be a harbinger of increased ...

Re: Another January 6th
Just to add my .02 cents here, I think this guy has a pretty clear-headed view of where we are headed. He is very likely correct in his speculations.

Re: No Kings Day III, March 28, 2026
I looked on the map and I see there is a restaurant called Union Assembly in Detroit on Woodward Ave. Was there a big march on Woodward on the 28th?

Re: No Kings Day III, March 28, 2026
There were lots of NoKings rallies all over Oahu, including a large one at the state capitol in downtown Honolulu. There was also a brief bomb scare at that event, but it didn't have much effect on the rally. There was a nice street-side rally at the regional park in Kapolei near where I live, and ...
