Following up on theNoKings protest & polls on election day. More people say that they suport the #NoKings movement than support the MAGA movement. No surprise since the president's approval is under 50% & only 33% believe he is making the country stronger. Protests reflected popular sentiment.
Ernesto Castañeda@drernestocast.bsky.social · last yr.Participants were able to show they were not terrorists or anarchists. The marches were a success; they were peaceful, joyful & well-organized. But they were soon overtaken by other headlines. Yet, this won't be the end of these mobilizations. More here: ruthbraunstein.substack.com/p/no-kings-p...
I missed this when it first came out. Great piece by @catecharron.bsky.social in the IndyStar about the local 50501 organization and the challenges faced by new movement groups (and, no, not just because I’m quoted in it). @asa-cbsm.bsky.social www.indystar.com/story/news/p...

@asa-cbsm.bsky.social #contentiousky #CBSM2025 🧵 Some take-aways about protest and social movements. (1) Protest movements have opponents, who will fight back if they lose, things are never settled. (2) You protest when you are in a losing position, of course protest does not always win 1/
