NO KINGS NIH –Defend Medical Research
Saturday, October 18 10am – 12pm EDT NIH/Medical Center Metro stop Rockville Pike Bethesda, MD 20814 |
| Went to the breast cancer walk around the Tidal Basin this morning. No issues getting around and am already home. |
| How bad was the authoritarian response? Is there a bail fund we can contribute to? Many of are worried that mass arrests occurred but are not being reported. |
| Is there anyone there under the age of 70? |
What a weird soundbite that MAGA Loves to hold on to. I saw many kids out in Falls Church today. Many families, and even some white hairs- OMG! They must have been paid!!
Loved all the chants and honks. A great tournout! |
| Ours was super peaceful and supportive. Saw there wasn’t a single arrest in NYC. It would be impossible for there to be mass arrests no one knew about so stop spreading rumors/misinformation |
It’s not a sound bite. Statistically, demographically, these “protests” are largely white and middle aged people. |
In fairness, a sound bite isn’t a lie 😂 it can be a correct observation that happens to play well in media. Which I guess is spot on here. |
| 2 families from my friend group went out this weekend, which is a major drop off from Trump I, when more than half of the same friend group would have been out. |
| Lots of people on Connecticut Ave in Maryland. |
Because, yeah, middle aged white people have a bubble of protection around them from ICE. We're privledged and we can take the risk of being there. |
+1 We protest on behalf of those who can't. |
Why is that a negative? |
| The one I attended in NOVA said their numbers doubled from June. |
