Republicans:

Welcome to THAT REALLY AWKWARD MOMENT when you can’t identify the same American flag your party is thoroughly disgusted to see Black Americans kneel in front of during the national anthem — a.k.a. exercising their First Amendment peaceful protest rights.

Welcome to totalitarian britain, where the police say one thing and do another. It’s not surprising the piblic have lost faith in all ´public servants’ given the lies being told. Police accused of ‘alarming’ attack on protest rights after anti-monarchist leader arrested https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/may/06/head-of-uks-leading-anti-monarchy-group-arrested-at-coronation-protest?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other #peacefulprotest #totalitarianbritain #liberty

So far as I know, the Metropolitan Police do not employ pre-cogs; nevertheless they are happy to arrest people for crimes that they might commit in the future despite there being no evidence for them in either the past or present.

A women’s university in Delhi was attacked by huge crowd of men during a school featival last month. Women were molested and outright raped after men broke down the gates to the school. Later the students organized a peaceful protest over the school’s response, and the school had police arrest them.

When the injustice and tyranny of your opponent is made plain to everyone, you draw more followers to your cause. When you engage in injustice and violence against your fellow citizens, you push people away from your cause.

There are many (proven successful) methods of #nonviolent methods of #protest. We should be focusing on those, instead of wasting time discussing a losing strategy.

Barack Obama: “This nation was built on #PeacefulProtest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.

What happened in #Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.”

I don't see most people being willing or able to #riot. And I don't see #riots bringing about ANY real positive change. Violence makes a #ProtestMovement look bad, which is why groups like #MarchForOurLives demand their #protestors do not engage or be drawn into ANY violence.

The folks who can't afford to miss a rent payment definitely can't afford any jail time or criminal record. And most people are happy to #protest peacefully, but will gladly turn in any agitators in their midst.

Violence plays into the hands of the #fascists and builds UP the rhetoric of the other side, giving it validity in the eyes of its followers.

#PeacefulProtest requires patience, but it never fails in the long run.

The tyrants always fall... always.

@staidwinnow 2/ Think Selma. Think the Woolworth’s lunch counter. Think Rosa Parks. Think the women of Iran burning their hijabs and Israelis standing up to Netanyahu. #PeacefulProtest is one of the most powerful forces for change on earth, which is why #fascists work so hard to silence us. Standing with an empty sign will get you arrested in Moscow. Even the symbol of protest scares #authoritarians. #TheTennesseeThree #Resistance

Speaking out against violence is not the same thing as participating in violence.

Tennessee needs to protest Republican abuse of power, both in lying about Democrats and in seeking to expel them.

Compare and contrast insurrection to protest:

#TrumpSupporters were protesting in #HuntingtonBeach and passersby shouted at the demonstrators and at least one skateboarder hit at least one demonstrator with a #skateboard.

I don't support #DonaldTrump by any means, but I don't support #violence like this either.

We have to be better. People with different beliefs are allowed to #PeacefulProtest. That's one of the main tenets of the #BillofRights in the #USConstitution.

Could be worse.

Could be in France, where as long as you don’t get caught and don’t say nasty things on Facebook, you can burn down hundred year old buildings in protest at 2 years added to your retirement, and face pretty much no consequences.

Except that some history and beauty is gone now that won’t come back. 🔥
At least y’all still have healthcare…

You can’t be imprisoned for peacefully protesting in the UK… can you? 🤔

How hot is the UK on human rights? Put your knowledge to the test…
