I saw a clip last week and I was laughing so hard, they were trying to tackle the cops and wave signs with protesting messages. Kids are much smarter than we think, they understand more than we credit them with.
They absolutely are, these kids know what’s up. I’m so impressed by them, they are trying to make their voices heard even if it’s on Roblox. They pick up on so much more than we realize, we’re raising a bunch of freedom fighters.
the children are watching intently and they are the future we will never see -- so in turn we must in our action model peacefully speaking truth to power and the importance of uniting in great numbers to effect a change -- their civic duty as Americans is something they in their play are practicing -- likely next Halloween our kids will be carrying signs in mock protest -- peaceful protest -- we can read about it and study it but children can see the power citizens possess when united in peaceful protest -- they see it as powerful, which it is of course -- but they see it clearly -- now I can die happy -- my involvement has solely been out of concern for the children across the globe if we do not prevail
Kids are mature enough to grasp the wrong not only in their own neighborhood but the entire country.
Trump's announcement of increased ICE raids on Democratic cities and horrific language about what a "real" American is, is meant to distract from the fact that the final count for the NO Kings protest surpassed 14 million people.
So proud of the protesters!
How about wearing this "Keep the immigrants, deport the racists" t-shirt in front of racists and bigots? 🤔 👇
It was Alt National Park& 50501. Thank you for the final count that I hadn’t seen. The 12.1 million was where the earlier count was from also! The 5 million was mid Morning Count!
It's especially painful for us Boomer women who fought for human rights for ourselves and the women who came after us and now are seeing it all stripped away. This is why I can't watch Mad Men. If you lived through that misogyny, it's just not entertaining to watch.
Indeed!! Just waiting for the SLOBNOXIOUS TACO to write an Executive Order declaring the Susan B. Anthony dollar to be invalid and no longer legal tender.
I’m a boomer and I can’t watch Mad Men either for just the reasons you mention. My MIL, now gone, used to love it. For her, it showed roles and behaviours she had lived through and found familiar. In some way, she found the show comforting.
I’m a Boomer and I never thought we satisfactorily got beyond all this shit. Nothing has changed since before the Revolutionary War. It doesn’t matter which party is in office, they ALL support big business and industry. The overall wealth owned by the top 1% continues to increase at the expense of everyone else.
Boomer here! I agree with you. If we get out of the shit of this current incontinent trump era, we have the opportunity to NOT just go back to the way it was a decade ago, but to improve on the original democratic experiment in a more equal and humane way.
Here here.. I keep hoping… this time WE ARE going to lance this infected boil and clean it all the way out… down to the red meat …. So we can heal these old wounds ( racism, colonialism, colonization, misogyny)that have been festering soooooo long. The pursuit of happiness does necessitate unfettered materialism and capitalism.
“In an interview with ABC, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to rule out targeting Iran’s supreme leader and stated that Israel is "well coordinated" with the U.S. in its campaign against Iran.” - well with his mighty military i wonder why Netanyahu didn’t use his great coordination against Hamas instead of eviscerating an entire people?
I love it! That is absolutely great. But it can affect them. ICE is going into schools and taking kids. They may not understand all the ins and outs but they know it's wrong.
No thanks to the mango phone plan. I prefer one that actually connects, works, and won’t collect my private data to send to his South African Apartheid twins who have infiltrated the US government.
Gen Alpha gives me hope, as soon as I told my 8 year old he was determined to find and join the virtual protest, he knows we’re a nation of immigrants.. He’s currently trying to find one on Roblox, I guess he didn’t get enough at his first protest this weekend, I didn’t either. I can’t wait till the next one!!
Be careful. Every generation looks hopeful until the real world intercedes. I remember when the baby boomers were going to save the world from the stodgy "moral majority."
True, that’s why I’m making sure to educate my boys every damn day on humanity, empathy, and what is wrong with the world right now from a humanist perspective. I’m raising them to grow up and fight for what’s right.
A helpful hint for the kiddies: in elucidating "FDT" in full, instead of Frick, they should spell out FLICK, all caps. Be sure & use those Roblox fonts without outlines. Try it, & squint.

It’s truly mind-boggling that felon 47 is president. He is so effing dumb. I just can’t even say it nicer. He is effing uninformed. His cabinet is full of effing stupid people, and they can’t advise him because they are nothing but yes, men and women. It’s really pathetic and to think the USA used to be on top of just about everything in the world. Now look where we’re at.

I was just going to say - kids are NOT idiots. They see, hear, and notice everything. And good on them.
They absolutely are, these kids know what’s up. I’m so impressed by them, they are trying to make their voices heard even if it’s on Roblox. They pick up on so much more than we realize, we’re raising a bunch of freedom fighters.
I told my 11yo daughter about the Roblox protest and her response was ‘oh yeah’ but in a tone that said LFG!!!
I cannot imagine how deeply troubling and frightening to our young kids it must be to see other children losing their parents.

What an amazing perspective. Your wisdom and foresight mean you are too bright and aware to go anywhere.
We need people like you, we need you to teach us, to write what needs writing, to say what needs to be said.
Stick around until what Scott's call the wee orange rodent has gone, and the US is busy getting itself back into a series of democratic states again.
Keep on writing.
We need you.
It will happen.
Gen Alpha is PROTESTING

Hahaha!
This is amazing!

Where are you getting the 14 million number?
I heard 13.14 million. It was the national park something or other. I can't remember their exact name, so I can't find the article with the tally.
It was Alt National Park& 50501. Thank you for the final count that I hadn’t seen. The 12.1 million was where the earlier count was from also! The 5 million was mid Morning Count!
Yes! Thank you!
Alt National Park
That's it! Thank you!
Boomers are pissed. We thought this shit was resolved 40 years ago, but here we are again.
It's especially painful for us Boomer women who fought for human rights for ourselves and the women who came after us and now are seeing it all stripped away. This is why I can't watch Mad Men. If you lived through that misogyny, it's just not entertaining to watch.

We interacted with MANY Boomer aged people at the No Kings protest this past weekend..they are indeed angry

Absolutely. But I say this rot is down to the bone, for all the reasons you site.
For better or worse, we, in this place called America, are a diverse group of foreigners on stolen indigenous land.
There is a need for a reckoning, without it we're just another white privileged, patriarchal, pseudo-democratic state.
Amen. 💯
putin was booted from the G7 for starting the war. Watching the felon do everything but cry because his handler wasn’t there today was gross.
Trump and his administration are GROSSLY INCOMPETENT!! STFU DT!!!

🤬the guy who said he would never start a war??? What a complete a—ho-e. I have no words…
Hear. Hear.
I love it! That is absolutely great. But it can affect them. ICE is going into schools and taking kids. They may not understand all the ins and outs but they know it's wrong.
EXACTLY. they definitely don’t feel safe. It breaks my heart.
But they are doing what they can and that is so impressive, we are raising some really special, empathetic, awesome kids.
No thanks to the mango phone plan. I prefer one that actually connects, works, and won’t collect my private data to send to his South African Apartheid twins who have infiltrated the US government.
I would be damned if I bought one. I don’t want anything with that name on it. I hope it flops big time.
Precisely! That's also why never TMobile . They linked themselves with musk.

What game in Roblox? I need to know!
Mee tooo!! My littles wanna join!

😂😂😂
Wikipedia is your friend. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roblox
Reading comprehension is your friend. They said "what game in Roblox?", not "what is Roblox?"
There's actually different locations in roblox
😂
The future is protesting. The present is protesting.
Our reality is 🤯

My Grandson. Haha
Trump is constantly doing his narcissistic projecting thing—every other politician he calls “bad” or “incompetent” he knows he’s describing himself!
1) vote Mike Lee out; don’t politicize murder;
2) of course Trump would blame Walz; it’s his modus operandi. We all know the murderer was a MAGAt!
3) it sure sounds like, as much as Trump denies it, he is getting closer to getting the US involved in the Israel/Iran conflict.
4) of course, Krasnov (Trump) supports Putin; he’s an asset for Russia!
It’s truly mind-boggling that felon 47 is president. He is so effing dumb. I just can’t even say it nicer. He is effing uninformed. His cabinet is full of effing stupid people, and they can’t advise him because they are nothing but yes, men and women.
