I lived in DC during Tea Party days. Funny how the daily crowds of obese rednecks from Potterville would jam the public transit to protest what? The very government that enabled public transit for their protest, Medicaid which enabled them to be alive and the right to protest which, tbh, they preferred guns. In those days I realized how monumentally stupid much of the country was. The movie Idiocracy came out around this time, at least that’s when I saw it. Depressing@goatrodeo of note, firearms are not allowed on the mall for any of the 250th events and cerebrations.
There has been such strict security with a perimeter (and even tickets required to view the fireworks from the Mall) this year, you can’t even bring a metal water bottle, a cooler, or your own food @deirdresm

@deirdresm someone needs to stop the bus and kick that Black woman off...so the bus can be safely driven into a lake without causing any loss.
(and then get her a taxi to her destination so she's not late)
@alice she deserve a limo ride.

@alice it’s the metrorail (subway, not the bus version). I would have exited that car and gotten on a different one or waited for the next train. No way am I sitting there and staying surrounded by people trying to conceal their identify, especially underground.

@ni seriously. No one should have to share a space with that many incels at one time.
God, that bus must reek of Axe and butt crust 🫢

Amazing photo by Cheney Orr from today. Black woman sitting alone on the DC Metro with a crowd of masked white supremacists on their way to the capital to march with confederate flags.
There is also a deeper analogy for what I keep hearing over and over from Black people: finding themselves surrounded by white people who either do not know, or do not care, about how America looks from the Black person's perspective.
@deirdresm White Supermacists who have nothing better to do than believing they're tuff by celebrating the exact ideals of Hitler. These people need to go home and celebrate with their family, not push sick ideology to harm others.

@deirdresm I also note that their logo is specifically fascist. It uses the fasces symbol directly, like the Italian fascists did.

Their symbol is an _explicit_ declaration of fascism and I really think that isn't pointed out enough. It is fascist, they are fascists, and they carry a specifically fascist flag.
@moira they look like cops

Are these the ugly Americans that I've been hearing about?
@sk8p0nk @deirdresm most of the picture contains piece of shit neo-Nazis and one innocent bystander, the ugly Americans are the ones who did nothing to stop this

@deirdresm They'll all be back at work as ICE agents on Monday.

@deirdresm I feel I've got a closer understanding of what it's like to be black in America right now since my stepson's wife is black. They live in L.A and I've heard numerous stories from her about white people's racism.
She was once walking to the store, stopped on a sidewalk (a public place) and a white Karen called the police on her...just for being black and standing on a sidewalk in front of Karen's home looking at her phone to get directions.
So no, not celebrating 'Murica today.
