#invasionday — Public Fediverse posts

Feeling frustrated watching the escalating horrors of the world unfold from my peaceful mountain home.

I find myself watching the USA and feeling like I need to get there and punch a fascist.

Then I drive past a truck with an Australian flag and I'm reminded that it's so-called "Australia Day" and we have plenty of them to deal with right here.

These #ceasefire rallies in support of Palestinians in #Gaza (and the #WestBank) have been, hands down, the most successfully sustained #MassProtests I've ever witnessed on this continent. Individual events have occasionally been bigger—the massive #StopTheWar effort in 2003, a handful of climate rallies, the annual #InvasionDay march—and there are protests that have been sustained much longer (nothing comes close to the multi-decade #AboriginalTentEmbassy), but I've never seen weekly rallies of this size sustained for anything like this long (>5 months and counting).

As I understand it, it is not just here on #Gadigal land in Sydney either, but similar events have been held weekly (or close to it) in most capital cities, with myriad further protests beyond that.
