Pres Trump spoke about the Black Lives Matter Movement, respecting the police, immigration, the covid "kung-flu" 19, left wing liberals hate & disrespect for America, etc.
His entire presentation was comical. Often menacing. Exciting and unifying for the crowd. Lots of laughter.
A flash protest occurred at 12pm EDT May 10 2017 in response to President Donald Trump's firing of FBI Director #Comey while a active investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential Election is underway. #soundthealarm
Got some good crowd shots again at the Kelly Thomas protest. It's a great place to practice people-shooting and not worry about people wondering why you are taking their picture.
Love the Guy Fawkes/V masks....they are so dramatic!

Annual protest in Hebron for the reopening of Shuhada Street (aparthied street). Shuhada Street lies at the centre of the ancient city of Hebron. For many years it was a busy shopping precinct, full of life. Today it is deserted. When the radical Israeli settler Baruch Goldstein shot dead 29 Palestinian worshippers at Hebron's Ibrahimi mosque in 1994, the Israeli army feared reprisals against three nearby Israeli settlements. It closed off the street to Palestinian vehicles and later Shuhada Street was blocked even for most Palestinian pedestrians.Most of the people who once lived here have left their homes. All the shops have closed, and Palestinians living in the area have to climb over roofs to reach their neighbours. In addition, they suffer violence and harrassment by settlers and soldiers, who often neglect to intervene to protect them from settler violence.
(15th August 2012) - I took a break from shopping to go to a protest. This was a peace protest to raise awareness of the massacre of Muslims in Burma, with the pertinent question being, "Why is this genocide being ignored by the media and politicians?"
George Galloway was the main speaker, and it was a fairly sombre protest, with Galloway hammering home the point that the reason why so much Muslim blood is spilled is because "it's cheap" and that the reason why a "tinpot country" like Burma isn't being reprimanded is due to the corruption amongst the Western and Arab leaders.
Something that did stand out though was when Galloway said that thing would only change after a revolution. A fellow protester asked, "And how we make this revolution happen?". The response: "Write a letter to your MP." I laughed and then realised that it wasn't a joke.
As for George Galloway, I've always been a bit dubious about him. He certainly says what Asians and Muslims want to hear, but in terms of actually getting anything done... it's hard to say. Considering some of his (well documented) past controversies and his recent comments on 'rape', I decided against having him as my picture of the day, instead opting for a more simple and powerful image of the banner which was held aloft throughout the protest.
I ended up leaving after about 40 minutes as, in my mum's absence, it my turn to cook tonight. I did spicy chicken noodles (or 'chicken chilli men' as it's referred to as in the Wagamama cookbook). They were very tasty!
Protesters from various police organizations and civilians gathered on the Haigis Mall of the University of Massachusetts to protest the lecture, “The Great Western Massachusetts Sedition Trial: 20 years later” that took place in the Isenberg School of Management on Thursday, November 12, 2009. The lecture, originally planned to include Ray Luc Levasseur, former leader of the United Freedom Front, was forced to continue without Levasseur because of the U.S. parole board’s decision to not allow him to cross state lines as part of his parole restrictions.

Greenpeace's Kumi Naaidoo talks to the media. In solidarity with the millions of people already feeling the impacts of climate change, hundreds of people protested in the halls of the UN Climate Talks this afternoon to demand that nations not sign a “death sentence” in Durban. The march filled the hall outside of the main negotiating room in Durban just as the afternoon round of talks were scheduled to begin. Standing side-by-side with delegates from some of the world’s most vulnerable countries, civil society representatives sang traditional South African freedom songs and chanted slogans like, “Listen to the People, Not the Polluters.”
