No matter how many folks & fools today participate in the "March for Our Lives", at the end of the day. it will accomplish nothing. Sad to say these young folks and their so-called "1984" adults should be marching in Broward County, Florida, calling for the heads of every Broward County administrator, teacher, police officer that failed to highlight the oncoming (murder, slaughter) of so many innocent children and their teachers, and the removal from office, of Governor, Rick Scott, Congresswoman, Debbi Wasserman Schulz, Senator, Marco Rubio and the immediate dismissal and firing of Broward County, Sheriff, Scott Israel, for...

The high-school-student-organized March for Our Lives this weekend has put politicians in an unusual spot: the back seat. Although students are the driving force behind the D.C. march and sister marches around the country, elected officials and candidates from the District, Maryland and Virginia are finding ways to participate — chartering bus loads of constituents, speaking at pre-march rallies and simply planing to be in the crowd. D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) is leading a contingent of D.C. students, joined by most members of the D.C. Council and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D). They will meet at Folger Park...

I cannot verify this, but a friend told me something kind of secretive was going on around the University of Miami today...it sounds like a bunch of kids are there to get trained (brainwashed?) regarding the anti-Constitution march this Saturday. I cannot get down to the U. Can anyone verify or deny? My friend said he saw a bunch of people going into something called The Center for the Americas....security guards were wanding people as they went in.

Police arrested a man for displaying a poster of soldiers killing Jews at the annual march by local veterans of two SS divisions that made up the Latvian Legion during World War II. The man was arrested Friday morning on the margins of the annual march of the Remembrance Day of the Latvian Legionnaires — soldiers from the 15th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS and the 19th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (the 1st and 2nd Latvian, respectively.) A handful of veterans flanked by hundreds of supporters waving Latvian flags gathered around Freedom Monument for the march under...

A planned rally against mass shootings can’t be held on the Mall later this month because it conflicts with what’s described in a National Park Service permit application as a “talent show.” A permit application filed last week by survivors of the Parkland, Fla., school massacre indicated the “March For Our Lives” rally will be on March 24, with up to 500,000 attendees expected. Mike Litterst, a spokesman for the Park Service, said organizers proposed holding the event on the Mall but were looking to move the rally to another location after the request conflicted with a film crew’s permit....

George Clooney continues his charitable giving– now half a million dollars to the March for Our Lives. He and wife Amal will make an appearance at the gun control rally. Clooney is an ardent supporter of civil rights in places like Sudan with the still-going Not On Our Watch (They are still giving hundreds of thousands of dollars there to protect the South Sudan). But this may signal a new political move by him by actual going to Washington DC on March 24t. Oprah Winfrey has just tweeted that she will join the Clooneys in their donation. Clooney– thanks to...

Young survivors of Wednesday's school shooting in Florida have announced a national march on Washington to demand political action on gun control. Student organisers told US media that they were determined to make Wednesday's shooting a turning point in the national gun debate. The attack, which left 17 students and staff members dead, was the deadliest US school shooting since 2012. Yesterday protestors chanted "shame on you" to US lawmakers and the president. Mr Trump said last year he would "never" infringe on the right to keep arms - a long-running and contested debate within the US. In his first...

Hundreds gathered at the Arizona state capitol in support of pro-life. Valley community leaders, such as Governor Doug Ducey and Pam Tebow, Tim Tebow's mother, took part in Saturday's event hoping for a change.

"Liberals have already ruined Hollywood and the music industry for millions of Americans by conflating politics and entertainment … but zoos? The Cincinnati Zoo ran afoul of quite a few people Saturday when it picked up on a #WomensMarch2018 poster showing a picture of the zoo’s baby hippo, Fiona, with the words “Fiona Is Female.”

WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Tens of thousands of nationalists marched in a demonstration organized by far-right groups in Warsaw Saturday, as Poles celebrated their country's Independence Day. The far-right march was one of many events marking Poland's rebirth as a nation in 1918 after being wiped off the map for 123 years. Earlier in the day, President Andrzej Duda presided over state ceremonies also attended by European Union president Donald Tusk, a former Polish prime minister. But the march has become the largest Independence Day event in recent years, overshadowing official state observances and other patriotic events. Some participants expressed...

A short video showing the whole crowd of the Polish Independence March of 2017, November 11! This is where it began and you can see more and more people adding to it. The Washington Post claimed 60,000, but I strongly suspect a lot more based on the photos and video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RELTOCqUCrs

WASHINGTON — On the first crisp fall day in Washington, thousands of anti-racism marchers proved that the capital’s summer of protests had not yet come to a close. Two separate rallies — the March for Racial Justice and the March for Black Women — converged in Lincoln Park, a picnic-and-birthday-party plot nestled in the heart of the gentrified eastern part of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. They marched in front of the Justice Department before descending on the National Mall to denounce institutionalized racism.

The March to DC from Charlottesville, Va., started with nearly 200 marchers Monday, but by Tuesday morning there were only 35 marchers. “Over 200 people came together today to take a stand against bigotry and hate,” march organizers said on Twitter. “We’re marching from #Cville2DC. Join us: cville2dc.us.” The overnight rains were enough to keep all but “about 35” from marching Monday morning, the day after the pep talk when police escorted the group from Emancipation Park downtown Sunday. “We have started the day!” the group tweeted shortly after 10:00am. “We have about 35 folks marching against white supremacy.” Despite...

"We marched for justice, we marched for the rights of the oppressed. We marched for the MPs in jail. We marched for the arrested journalists. We marched for the university academics dismissed from their jobs," said Kilicdaroglu. "We marched because the judiciary is under a political monopoly," he added. "We want the return of powers grabbed from the parliament," said Kilicdaroglu. "Who dares turn this country -- which is like heaven -- into a hell!" he added.

Turkey's main opposition leader told a huge protest rally on Sunday that the country was living under dictatorship and pledged to keep challenging the crackdown launched by the authorities after last year's failed military coup. Addressing hundreds of thousands of people waving Turkish flags and banners demanding justice, Kemal Kilicdaroglu said his 25-day march from Ankara to Istanbul - culminating in Sunday's rally in Istanbul - was the first stage of a long campaign. "We will be breaking down the walls of fear," he told the crowd who gathered to welcome him at the end of his 425 km (265...

Justice Kılıçdaroğlu made call of 10 points to AKP: 1- 249 people lost their lives yet the political pillar of the attempted coup is not known. Reveal the politicians involved in the coup. 2- The coup attempt was used as pretext for government's own coup. End emergency rule immediately, restore rule of law in int'l standards. 3- Putting justice system under the control of political order is treason to democracy. Apply fair trial, independent and objective justice. 4- People affected by the emergency rule after the coup are denied their natural rights. End denial of access to social and...

Turksih President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday accused the country’s main opposition party of siding with terrorism, as a three-week “march for justice” led by its chief neared its ending point of Istanbul... “If you start protests to protect terrorists and those who support terrorism — when it did not occur to you to take part in anti-terror demonstrations — then you cannot convince anyone that your objective is justice,” Erdogan said... he said the road taken by Kilicdaroglu was “the way to Qandil and Pennsylvania”.
