I can’t upload all the pictures and videos because they’re too big apparently! But it was fucking awesome. At least 150,000 people were there marching for Palestine and SCREAMING the “Biden, Biden, you can’t hide, you’re funding a genocide” chants. It was genuinely so hopeful and refreshing. It was made very clear that this was only the beginning of more direct action that will have consequences and force the hand of our dictators of capital. We spray painted a McDonald’s window “GAZA” (in minecraft of course) and screamed “Fuck McDonald’s” because we’re boycotting Starbucks and McDonald’s. I met a few pretty relevant tiktokers and Karina Garcia, the PSL’s presidential candidate’s VP!
Overall a fucking wonderful experience and I’m going to bring this energy back home. Like I said this is only the beginning and it really is showing some serious dedication and revolutionary intent.
Check out answercoalition on Instagram to see the size of the crowd and some of the speeches. I’ll see if I can link pictures in the comments below.
FUCK THE AMERICAN WAR MACHINE, WE WILL SEE A FREE PALESTINE AND A SOCIALIST WORLD IN OUR LIFETIME
I’ve been noticing more and more people are altering their stance on Hamas with more education. With all the blatant lying the mainstream media has been caught doing regarding Palestine, I’m noticing liberals actually starting to question the US’s Ukraine and China narratives now. It feels like another major wave of Americans are finally starting to wake up.
I talked with a few people not in the protest in DC who were curious about the situation and were uneducated on past or current events in occupied Palestine. Even they were aware of the hard Israel slant of the major US media stations and seemed to accept a lot of the reasons why a ceasefire is necessary and that a one secular democratic state solution is the only real option to avoid continued conflict. I even had one guy move from condemnation of Hamas to saying he wouldn’t say he condemns them anymore.
That’s obviously one person but that is huge, it just shows its possible and honestly is a sign to me of a larger turning of tide.
It seems like the contradictions are becoming too much even for the less engaged masses. They may not hold the ‘correct’ opinion but they’re more willing then ever to hear a countervailing opinion to the consent manufacturing machine
This next election between career criminal Trump and genocidal Biden is really going to reveal to a lot of Americans just how absurd the American electoral spectacle is. It’s been absurd in the recent few cycles, but this just feels different. Feels like decades might be about to happen in weeks.
I got trapped under that list. Maybe not that exact one but on the 4th there was one of those and it was so long I got stuck under it lol. That’s not funny it’s actually fucked up that it’s that long that I couldn’t escape from under it but I don’t know how else to deal with it
How lovely! I was at the SF sister rally and 50,000 people showed up!!! Not a single mishap! Btw, on the PSL National IG and the breakthrough news IG, reports are saying 300,000 in DC!
Crazy. I know it was a worldwide thing, pretty sure there was like 500,000 in London and millions in other Arabic countries. Amazing
I saw all those pigs protecting mcdonalds honor from the antifa hordes too lol, nice job.
PALESTINE WILL BE FREE
Did you see the swat truck and squad of pigs defending an empty Starbucks 😭
Lol yeah, literally the only groups of cops I saw were protecting chains. Gotta keep those cappucirinos safe from palestine.
There was also a group of them standing around protecting a piggiemobile that had already gotten ACAB sprayed on it
There was a strip club cough, gentleman’s club that was being guarded by a lot of piggies. Good to see their priorities lmao

Yep. Nowhere to be found when medics were needed tho.
Who keeps us safe? We do.
Hahahhaa yes it was glorious to see (not the pigs but the empty ass chains). We low-key be costing them a fuck ton of money
I SAW THAT HAHAHA fuck those guys bro we started booing them and everything it was great
Attended a local protest and it was great. We had way more than we expected there, no counter-protestors, and so many people honking their support and waving flags as they drove by. A guy “thanked” me for protesting and said something about his cousin dying at “the music concert on the 7th,” and I’d never heard of that (and his sarcasm was so poor) I think I just kinda thanked him in confusion, lol. Other than that, there was apparently one guy who flipped us off and that was all the heckling we got. Everyone else was supportive or neutral.
It’s great to hear the national protest went so well, too!
Fuck yes comrade!
Counter-protestors regarding this issue are cowards and don’t leave their house half the time. Why should they? They can be keyboard warriors and have the state do their bidding.
There always are a few finger flippers but fuck them they’re outnumbered as hell.
My small data collection from the protests I’ve been to (4 since October 7) is a very large pro-palestine bias. Tons more honks and supports than negative
Yeah, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by all of this. Considering how things had been going my entire life, I thought our countrymen would’ve largely gone back to supporting Israel as soon as the media told them to, but I’m glad to see I was wrong this time.
Obligatory do not upload media of you partaking in protests unless you take measures to redact any identifying material or else you’re doing the work of the cops for them and you will get people arrested.
I’m actually glad no one Falls for Israeli propaganda anymore
no one
It doesn’t feel like it here. Plenty of Zionists, and I don’t really get how they act as if the media is against them when it’s literally on their side
It’s a tactic, ya know why the Media in America is so right leaning?
It’s because back in the 9/11 days, the War Mongering Right learned that all they had to do was accuse the media of having a “Liberal Bias”, and making “Liberal Media” a slur that no Media Company wanted to be accused of… So they created a new standard where no matter what bad is done, the victim was “Even more wrong or just as”, same with oppoisition parties, etc.
It’s why CNN was branded the “Clinton News Network” until they became Fox News 2.0 during 2016, because the tactic worked the first time.
Just claim you’re being silenced and “Just want fairness”, and people will shout your message from the rooftop… Unless you’re actually being silenced and just want fairness.
Yeah, you’re right. It’s just a shame some people genuinely fall into the trap of taking the ones who actually know better at their word
I wasn’t able to go, but I made sure to watch the entire BreakThrough News live stream. I could feel the immense energy of it all through the screen, and I hope to join in on physically being at some of these protests as soon as possible.
FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA!
My Gma watched the crowd too I sent her the breakthrough news link haha and she’s obviously elderly so it would be dangerous for her to go but she was with us <3 long live that woman
The energy was amazing. People of all walks of life, all religions, all ethnicities, all races, all ages, all identities, fighting for the lives of those just like us.
Yesss they were there. I saw the main male journalist with the glasses there I forget his name but.
Make it to whatever you can! PALESTINE WILL BE FREE
Eugene Puryear?
Ah! I was there too!
Happy to hear you had an amazing time too!
Currently on the bus home!
I’m really confused
For saying that I’m on bus home after a 300.000 man march?
If it’s for the identifying information, I could care less. There are probably 2 people in my life who could identify me with that information, and even then it’s so vague that there’s limitless plausible deniability.
I actually agree with you and I was doing the side-eyes as an intended message of “right along there with you” but I guess it was lost in the emoji translation.
Lol, my bad, I’m probably just to tired, I thought you were trying to say that I was baiting like a fed lmao.
But yeah, sorry about the misunderstanding.
Ayyyyyy what? That’s wild

I saw quite a few PSL members so yeah not entirely sure BUT
That’s lit asf that you were there. The speeches were fire and MACKLEMORE CAME ON STAGE BAHAHAHA I died bro
My brain couldn’t comprehend the Macklemore thing and thought they said Michael Moore hahahaha
The speeches were great; and I see you got a video of the 2 guys on the building! I am also a little off to the side of one of your photos out of frame. I clearly remember that protester with the flag staff with an eagle on it. We were pretty close by!
Yes that got me hype too haha and oh damn! That’s cool.

They’re saying maybe the largest pro palestine protest in US history, all organized in about 2 weeks.
Lots of good speakers there too, even Vijay Prashad.
It was beautiful. I teared up a few times, weird mixture of joy and melancholic mourning
Don’t forget covering a Starbucks in stickers
I love that people aren’t falling for this shit. The US War machine can’t hide its bloody history anymore.
Yes dude! The whole fucking world sees right through it and it’s glorious. The event was soo diverse and I loved it you’d never see that shit at a zionist protest
I’m glad it went well! Wish I could’ve gone. Looking at the IG time elapse the crowd is incredible.
Was also there comrade, a fuckton of ppl, like hundreds of thousands.
150,000300,000 people by last reputable count.EDIT: NEW RECOUNT SHOWS 300,000 attendees.
YESSSS I LOVE YOU HAHAH
Definitely. We were all the way back to the capitol!!
If your image is too big you can try screenshotting them.
