WTAF! ‘#NoKings’ protest organizer calls #Texas #NationalGuard deployment an overreaction by Governor
by Cora Neas
Wed, June 11, 2025AUSTIN (KXAN) — "A protest planned to occur at the Texas Capitol Saturday comes after Texas Governor #GregAbbott’s deployment of the state’s National Guard to #AustinTX and other Texas cities following a Monday night protest in the state’s capital city.
[...]
" 'Soldiers are on standby in areas where mass #demonstrations are planned in case they are needed,' reads part of Mahaleris’s statement. 'Texas will not tolerate the lawlessness we have seen in Los Angeles. Anyone engaging in acts of violence or damaging property will be swiftly held accountable to the full extent of the law.'
"The Monday night protest, organized by the Party for #Socialism and #Liberation, was held to show solidarity with #protesters in #LosAngeles.
"Saturday’s protest, ' #NoKings / #KickOutTheClowns,' is part of a nationwide action against a #MilitaryParade in #WashingtonDC, also on Saturday. The Austin rally is organized by Hands Off Central Texas (#HOCTX), a coalition of liberal activist groups such as #50501, #IndivisibleAustin, #IndivisibleRosedale, #ThirdAct Texas and #ResistAustin.
"#HandsOff Central Texas President Sophia Mirto said that the rally will feature speeches by activists and locally elected politicians, as well as performances."

‘Third Act’ Review: Personal Doc Is Both a Searing Historical Record and a Poignant Father-Son Narrative

"The #climate movement plans to spend the next four years hunkering down at the local level. McKibben’s newest organization, #ThirdAct, a nonprofit group for climate activists older than 60 that he started about three years ago, is highlighting the push for change at the community and state level. Over the past 18 months, they’ve begun a new strategy: attending the meetings of obscure state agencies or commissions that hold a lot of power over the energy transition."

The completed mural. And as to why, well, it's private profit and socialized costs and damage. For Citibank, what's the downside?

Today Third Act Maryland, along with young allies, held a postcard party at Ministry of Brewing in Baltimore. We wrote 200 postcard to voters in PA, to overcome voter suppression in that state. This has been a difficult and sad week in Baltimore, so it felt good to be doing good. Thanks to all who came out to join us. Working across generations, we can accomplish great things! #Democracy #votingrights #Baltimore #Maryland #Beer #ThirdAct

Today, Third Act Maryland and friends protested Wells Fargo's funding of oil & gas projects and the Mountain Valley Pipeline. We occupied the lobby of a branch in downtown Silver Spring and set up on the sidewalk out front. Check out this inspiring story by a first-time protester.

“..(C)limate activist and author #billmckibben is no newcomer to climate issues. In contrast, he is newly focused on harnessing the talents of older adults on behalf of climate action. Bill describes his new organization, Third Act designed to do just that.”
What would it take for you to move your circles of influence to climate action?

Members of #ThirdAct want large banks to stop financing the #FossilFuel #MoneyPipeline
"The demonstration in Washington ended at an intersection downtown where both Chase and Wells Fargo have branches. Dozens of activists sat in colorfully painted rocking chairs outside both entrances. Elsewhere in the country, activists cut up their credit cards."

If you want some protest news that doesn't involve ex-presidents, check out Third Act's national Stop Dirty Banks Day of Action today. Nearly 100 demos nationwide to push major banks to divest from fossil fuels.

This coming Tuesday, March 21:
Cut up your credit card, and close your account, or simply join a protest at a branch of #Chase, #Citibank, #WellsFargo, or #BankOfAmerica."In a nod to the more seasoned age of participants, older people in painted rocking chairs will block the entrances to some of the US’s largest #banks to highlight their funding of #oil and #gas extraction."

I only just heard about this today on Boston Public Radio.
https://thirdact.org/national-day-of-action/
If you can, join a local group. If you can, cut up a card from these huge banks. I have a chase/Amazon card and I will cut that bad boy up. Using was so easy, I get points, but it's at a cost.

After you shut your valve to the #MoneyPipeline, you can choose to direct it to where it contributes positively to a livable #climate:
“Your local credit union is often terrific, and very unlikely to be tied into the #FossilFuel industry.” (You can check the funding practices of your local #CreditUnion at Bank.green or Bank for Good.)

@GoAskAlice @juglugs so tired of these lame boomer digs. Marjorie Taylor Green isn't a boomer. Neither is Matt Gaetz or Ben Shapiro. The people in #ThirdAct are boomers & doing incredible work. There's clearly assholes in every demographic; insulting a whole generation is counterproductive.
