I went to my town’s memorial day parade entirely to support my kid, who was playing an instrument in the parade. It was a beautiful day and a really pure distillation of America there. Cops, fire department, a handful of veterans (some of them looking young enough to be volksturm), boomers driving ancient convertibles, lots of kids playing terrible music, and loads of fascists and liberals having a good time. A little girl asked if I wanted a flag, and I said “no thanks.” That was about as radical as I got. I thought they would all kill me if I whipped out my Palestinian flag.

I slapped a few of these along the local parade route to keep people morally consistent.
Lol

I showed up for some Palestine agitation. Got the stink-eye from a few people, as you can imagine.
You guys are already out of bed?
A parade passed my house so I checked it out, I was tempted to take a flag they were handing out and light it on fire haha, but I’d rather not out myself that way to my nextdoor neighbors. It wasn’t overly fashy, but it’s not too chuddy an area. There weren’t too many veterans and only a small army reserve band and truck as far as military stuff, and there was at least one performer in a local band wearing a keffiyeh.
Haven’t heard of any sort of protest here today but I haven’t checked out downtown, there have been semi often a small group of people with signs about Palestine near city hall. I don’t generally get involved because there aren’t a lot of people active like that in the area and I don’t want to make myself known to authorities just in case.
Is something happening today that we should be protesting? I mean besides the obvious
In any way? I got some good work today and haven’t stopped to consider murked boots.
Not really no. The student protests here in my country got real lib brainwormy so they ain’t getting my support lol. So I feel you.
Do people normally do protests on Memorial Day? Never heard of that.
