I Instagram-reported for work today! (Seriously. Things have changed from newspaper days.) So even though I had an actual camera in my bag, I ended up focusing on phone photos this time. This was around the start of a small rally for WikiLeaks' Julian Assange, held in New York City today. Photo taken at the UN Plaza.

This was my first circus protest. My big sign said "Ringling Fined $270,000 for Animal Welfare Violations". We got some thumbs up from drivers who weren't going to the circus. One father gave me the finger, and another stuck his tongue out at me. Other protesters said some families rolled down the window after the show to say they wouldn't be coming back to the circus.
Why we protest circuses that use animals:

A march from Baltimore to DC in 2013 to protest poverty, low wages, and to fight for worker's rights.
This is the moment that Fox will lie about. Rioters breaking windows, doors and gaining access to a closed capitol.
I arrived at the capitol at about 6:50pm. You could hear the protesters 2 blocks away yelling "Shame" and "Let us in!" I make my way up to the King St entrance and I'm there all of about 2 minutes when it falls silent instantly. Everybody is listening intently to something and it's soon made known that some republicans are trying to leave the building, so people start going to many different exits to block them and I head over to the main MLK street entrance that I believe is the governors office, but I could be wrong on that, along with a huge flow of other people. There's a stream of people milling around and chanting so I make my way up the steps to the second floor entrance where there's a large crowd shouting "Shame!" I push closer and closer and there's a wall of police blocking the doors. We keep thinking they're about to escort someone out, but it never happens. Finally some police form a single file line and march out, but the doors are still locked with police on the inside looking out.
Meanwhile, I've pushed up to about 2 people behind the doors when all of a sudden, a window to the left of me beside the doors opens up and there's a woman waving people to come in quickly. The window leads into a bathroom. People look around in amazement and wonder what this is all about. The woman again motions for people to get in here. So the most amazing thing happens. A bunch of people press up against the main doors and use their signs to block the view of the open window that people are now filing into. I start firing off pictures, which is what you see above. About 10 seconds pass and I'm wondering if I have a chance of getting in. All sorts of complications are running through my head. A: it's been made illegal as of last week to enter after 6. B: is it a trick? C: The cops have gotta see this and are probably right inside there where I can't see. D: But what is inside? This is the start! GO!
I decide I might not have another chance. I hop through. No sooner than I make it to the door of the bathroom that I am met with police. Oh crap is all I can think. However, it immediately reminds me of a college beer party bust. They weren't even looking at me. They were trying desperately to push past me to get to the window while I was trying to push past them to get in through the door. In the moment of confusion I realized I wasn't going to be in any danger since it was clear all they wanted was to shut the window and stop the flow of people coming in. So I just flattened against the door frame to let the 3 get past me and then I proceeded to get into the hallway.
I can a lot of cheering inside and it turns out there were a couple hundred inside still from before the capitol closed for the night that hadn't left. And this, of course, is when it got interesting. A couple more times huge roars would erupt as a dozen or so people come running in from different hallways. There must be more sneaking in. After about 10 minutes chants of "Let Them In!" began. After only a minute or so, it fell silent and a handful of people ran to the west exit. Another moment of silence followed by huge eruptions of cheering as what seemed like hundreds after hundreds came flowing in from all directions. They gave up and opened the doors!

33rd & Keswick. From the event description:
"Curfew protests in Penn North are being responded to by arrests and a militarized police force. We expect that in Hampden - a predominantly and historically white neighborhood - the response will be very different. This action aims to highlight the difference in how the city chooses to respond to the violation of curfew in a predominantly white neighborhood compared to the neighborhood of Penn North - primarily a community of color. The differing response will highlight anti-Black racism, an institutionalized practice of the police force and government.
This is a SILENT protest so that we can point people to the voices of those most devastated by white supremacy in Baltimore. Fliers will be available to pass out to passersby and media to explain. We'll be silent to the media, but engaging with those in the neighborhood. The idea here is not be the voice heard in the media, but point the story back to those most affected."
Can they (99%) win this battle agaist 1% rich and powerful ?

A counter protester of AOC brings a sign that reads "My Favorite Big Booty Latina". The republicans and democrats face off at 10:30am when the event was scheduled to begin. The speakers delayed the event to 11am as the Secret Service work to mitigate fights through the crowd. Political powerhouse D-NY 14th District Representative Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez known as AOC rallied in UC Irvine on October 23, 2022 to campaign for higher voter turnouts as midterm elections deadline nears. She is the second high-profile Democrat to visit Irvine this month following Joe Biden on Oct 14. There was an estimate of 1,000 attendees and a few dozen counter-protesters at the Get Out the Vote Rally, according to an employee from UCI. Tensions heightened with counter protesters at the rally at 10:35pm when the event was scheduled to begin. The counter protesters disrupted the rally for two hours. Multiple fights were involved through the counter-protest crowd and were disbanded by the Secret Service multiple times. The event was hosted by The Sunrise Movement Orange County, the Orange County Young Democrats, Planned Parenthood Generation Action UC Irvine, the UC Student Workers Union, and College Democrats. Speakers included President of Young Dems Iris 'Nini' Wu as the opener, founder of the climate actions group OC Clean Power, Kathleen Treseder, former spokesperson for President Barack Obama and United States National Security Council from 2011-2012 Tommy Vietor, Council Member Costa Mesa D-5 Arlis Reynolds, and D-NY 14th Rep AOC.

Protest against Ikea opening
Protesters and local residents gathered against the first German Inner City Ikea. Police and Security is protecting the entrances.
Within 2 years Ikea erected a 7 story bunker building in the heart of Altona-Altstadt, a multi ethnical residential area. Protesters make Ikea accountable for increasing rents, increasing traffic and pollution and the effects of a wider gentrification, which will force people with lower income out of their inhabited area and local business to shut down.
