Residents of the Saowac Aboriginal Community protest outside the ruling KMT headquarter accused the vice president of KMT ,also Taoyuan County Commissioner Eric Chu , demolished their home which located on the banks of the Dahan River in Dasi Township , Taoyuan County, Taiwan.
On a sunny and rather chilly June afternoon, activists and protesters showed up near the front entrance of the Cook County Jail on California Avenue to call for the defunding of not only the police, "but the entirety of the carceral system that works to control, harm, and destroy Black and brown lives throughout Chicago and the entire country." The event was hosted by the Chicago Torture Justice Center and Black Lives Matter Chicago. After meeting in front of the entrance, well over 100 protesters on foot and most likely the same number in vehicles circled the correctional facility. Those walking loudly expressed their support for reforms to the justice system and for the inmates just behind the walls of the facility. The vocal expressions were supported by those in their vehicles blowing their horns as they took up the rear of the march and caravan.

In 1943 Gauleiter Paul Giesler spoke at the Ludwig Maximilian university.
Imagine the scene, the middle of WW2, nazi flags everywhere, high ranking nazis who could have you shot for even the slightest insult or 'defeatist' comment, many of the students actually wearing Wehrmacht uniform as they are also active soldiers.
When Giesler, a nasty piece of work, started talking about the female students, saying they shouldn't really waste time in school but concentrate on being mothers and give the fuhrer a few sons, how they weren't suitable for studying and if they couldn't find a husband because they were too ugly, he could find a few of his men to do the deed, the students were shocked and appalled.
But even in this nazi society, at a nazi indoctrinated institution, surrounded by nazis, having grown up in a time when the idea that women should indeed just be housewives and not study were actually quite common even among non-nazis, even in this situation, the students protested.
They started shouting, booing, disagreeing.
And even when Police officers with truncheons entered the hall and started wacking people, the students still would not be silenced.
And not just the girls who were forced to sit on the balcony, but also the male students sitting downstairs, many of whom in wehrmacht uniform, conscripted into the Wehrmacht.
The Gauleiter was forced to end his speech early and leave.
This public and dangerous protest encouraged members of one of Germany's most famous resistance groups die Weiße Rose to continue their work with renewed passion.
This story which sadly is mostly unknown, deserves some extra attention these days.
I find it very interesting that in 1943, in Nazi Germany, at an university students who had been living in a Nazi society and been bombarded by Nazi propaganda for over a decade, since their childhood, protested against a sexist Nazi speech.
Two subjects that somehow are way too relatable than they should be today.
A time when words like Nazism, feminism, rude and vulgar politicians, patriarchy, protesting, not taking the younger generation seriously, free speech, etc, etc, are again in the news in unexpected ways.
Disclaimer; I got the pictures from the movie 'Die weiße Rose' (1982) as there are none of the actual event.
This superb movie was made in the 1980s and tells the story of the German resistance group of the same name, not to be confused with the also very good 'Sophie Scholl - Die letzten Tage' (2005).
I highly advice you to go watch both these movies, the 1980s one first.
Although it is not my habit to promote illegal behaviour, I think the times we live in make it important to hear these stories and see the movies, no matter how you do it.
So check out youtube.

This is Bert in protest mode. When in places with too much temptation he's in a harness on a flexi lead. Which is normally ok but every now and then it needs a protest. Queue five minutes of circling with the evil lead in mouth!

Pensions protest in London, June 2011
I spotted this guy on my walk around London on February 28th, 2020.
I've never attended a protest. My life and right to exist have never been threatened by the powers that be. If there was a checklist of privileges, I'd be able to tick almost every box. White, male, able-bodied, heterosexual, English-speaking, born in Canada, born into an upper-middle-class family, etc. But more and more, I've come to realize the need to protest.
To paraphrase Barack Obama, progress isn't always straightforward. Sometimes we take a giant leap backward for every few paces forward. In America right now, the Supreme Court has decided to strike down Roe vs. Wade, because they believe that women are second-class citizens.
They believe that women are second-class citizens.
They believe that women are second-class citizens.
They believe that women are second-class citizens.
In a year that's already been hard to believe (Omicron shattering records; Putin invading Ukraine; horrible inflation), Republicans have gained a victory in trying to bring America back to the stone age. And you know what? They'll succeed. They've already succeeded in disenfranchising Black people in parts of the South of their voting rights...rights that they only had for a handful of decades. They've been gerrymandering for a while. They are taking a bit-by-bit approach to take away the rights of people they don't like, rather than doing it in one big, obvious move, and that is what the Nazis did to the Jews in the years leading up to the Holocaust. It wasn't a matter of throwing open the doors to Auschwitz on opening day and telling the Jews to quit their jobs and get on the trains. The Jews had been stripped of their rights, resources, and dignity for years leading up to that point. They were deliberately weakened. Just like the Republicans are trying to do to everyone who isn't a rich white man.
It all begs the question of who the enemy is. More and more, I'm seeing that it's not so much a fixed category of people who are the enemy. It's people in power who abuse it to deliberately cause harm to segments of the population (Hitler), or who want to enrich themselves at the expense of the masses (Trump) and who want to hold onto that power forever (Putin). Authoritarians. And inconveniently, such people have historically landed all over the political spectrum.
The protestor in this picture wants to ban disposable plastics. While I think disposable plastics have some uses that (thus far) haven't been satisfactorily (I said satisfactorily) replaced by alternatives (i.e., for sanitary purposes), I do think massively reducing the amount of plastic that gets produced -- by a combination of less demand and more regulation -- is a good thing for our environment. And the environment is more important than jobs.

Downing Street protesters demand "End the Tampon Tax" - London 02.04.2015
Protesters outside Downing Street adorned with fake tampons and bloodied underwear called for an end to what they say is a "skewed" VAT system which sees 5% paid on tampons which are classed as 'luxury items', yet gambling, houseboat mooring and military aircraft sales are exempted. This week the Salvation Army has reported that in many deprived areas up and down the UK increasing numbers of women can no longer afford to buy sanitary towels, and are having to resort to shockingly primitive and dangerous solutions such as newpaper, old socks or hankies, which makes the women prone to urinary tract infections. In response to this public health issue the Salvation Army has started providing tampons to women unable to afford them, including, of course, homeless women living on the streets.

Protests took place in Rochdale on Saturday 22 July 2017.
The Force worked to ensure the events took place safely and ensuring the right to protest while minimising any disruption to the local community.
Chief Superintendent Neil Evans, Borough Commander, said: “This has been a challenging day with hundreds of people attending Rochdale town centre for the protest.
“I understand that these events are very emotive and that tensions may run high when there are polarised views and counter-protests.
“However, we have worked jointly with Rochdale Council and the community to ensure the most effective way to facilitate and manage this protest in a balanced and safe manner.
“This has very much been a community focused operation aimed at reducing the impact of the protest on the normal lives of people in Rochdale.
“I would like also like to thank members of the community who have acted as mediators and helped the smooth running of today’s event.
“In order to ensure we could deliver a safe operation we deployed large numbers of police which meant another busy weekend for officers, who have worked long hours in challenging circumstances to look after our communities.
“It was pleasing to see that this protest did not stop the people of Rochdale from going about their normal activities.”
