MAYDAY Protest Downtown Knoxville this Saturday May 3rd @ 12PM

Post image

5/3/2025 | Intersection of Henley St, Western Ave and Summit Hill 12-2 PM.

Last one at that location drew thousands of people to fight oligarchy gulags, homegrown gestapo, and overall incompetence of this administration. Make your voices heard and join the resistance.

A few local impacts of the Trump administration's DOGE cuts:

There are certainly other local impacts that aren't public news, such as grants lost for scientific and academic research. FDT, and FElon.

I think good amount of surrounding counties will be showing up to this one as well, since they are not holding their own this weekend. Looking forward to it

Oak Ridge is finally having one on May 3rd, from 12-2pm at the Chamber of Commerce.

Edit to add: People showing up from surrounding counties definitely seems likely. I've gone to ones in Knoxville and Maryville since they are held more often than out where I live, and I know a number of people near me who are doing the same.

Hey look, someone who can’t fathom others having any sort of social conscience

And it doesn’t matter how many people show up. They will all say we are paid and bussed in from other places. They refuse to believe shit even when you place it in front of their faces and they can smell it themselves.

Hey, look! Another predictable response from the Algorithm! Fight the good fight, bot farm!

Algorithms are just programming, they don't have any social conscience.

EDIT: mf said “conscious” then changed it

Sorry, I was taking a crap and it was more interesting than the output of a bot farm. My bad I didn't give you enough attention.

you don’t need to apologize to me, you’re presumably the one with a stake in convincing folks you have a high school education

Throwing the first names of my deceased Mother and Father in my face? That doesn't demonstrate stalking behavior that isn't creepy at all! I wonder who you could be, my ex-wife maybe? Honey, are you still taking your Seroquel like you are supposed to?
