I read that they were going to get their own Metro car, but the Metro union, largely people of color, refused to cooperate and the plans were cancelled.

There's extensive video of them being put on a separate train car.

yeah, I don't understand. It was reported that they would not get a separate train, and they are still claiming it is not a separate train, just a private train, that keeps them separated.

DC, now you see who was telling the truth about the racist marchers being escorted onto Metro and who lied. Wiedefeld lied to riders and public when the truth was more convenient. The fallout of today will be on him.— ATU Local 689 (@ATULocal689) August 12, 2018

my neighbor has hoisted a peculiar flag today
it is a stars and stripes but the stars are in a ring around a weird shape what looks like a white masonic symbol. and i’m pretty sure there aren’t 50 stars
any ideas?

If he put it up specifically today that doesn’t look good. Do you live in an area where someone would consider it a “safe space” to fly a white supremacist banner? Can’t imagine someone doing that out here in williamsburg

no but there is an exmilitary guy on the block with a big pickup truck who has that III on the back windshield (as well as various other 2A stuff and pictures of assault rifles)

i live in a very diverse area where coexist stickers outnumber nra stickers by 3 or 4 to 1
however i am in one of the few neighborhoods in the city proper where you actually see nra stickers with any regularity and it is the only one where i have seen any pro trump graffiti
― the late great, Sunday, 12 August 2018 22:29 (five years ago) link
it is also one of the only places in the county where you *might* see blatant symbols of hate (swastikas, kkk shit) but i haven’t personally seen that in this neighborhood since i was a little kid
― the late great, Sunday, 12 August 2018 22:31 (five years ago) link
I noticed the other day outside the subway some swastikas carved in the cement. I have no idea how old it is but i am thinking of contacting the city about it
― Trϵϵship, Sunday, 12 August 2018 22:31 (five years ago) link
Anyway i hope your neighbor is not a white supremacist. That would be an unsettling thing to live next to.

i saw on my way to work the other day that somebody had put up a STOP KISSING ILLEGAL ASS sticker on the back of a stop sign and i made a note to tear it down but it had alreay been torn down by the time i got back from work
― the late great, Sunday, 12 August 2018 22:34 (five years ago) link
they are not my immediate neighbor. my immediate neighbors are a black and latino mixed race couple (they are military and into martial arts and shooting, they have a WE DON’T CALL 911 sign w a picture of a 45 on it on the front door that i wish they’d take down)
i live in a condo complex so i actually have seven neighbors and they’re all cool. gay, straight, white, black, asian, latino, young, old etc etc
it’s the people in detached housing down the street you got to look out for /iatee
― the late great, Sunday, 12 August 2018 22:39 (five years ago) link
but yeah they look like nice people, white and probably xian but who knows. i assume it’s some sort of community service organization? they also had a tent on the lawn nezt to the flagpole which is why i thought of scouting first
you just never know these days
― the late great, Sunday, 12 August 2018 22:41 (five years ago) link
That’s true. If they seem nice and normal I’d reckon they’re not bonafide ideological nazis but who the fuck knows anymore

to summarize guns are a big thing but not sure about racism, must say that if i had to choose between having guns in the nbhd and having racists in the nbhd i might actually pick racists

Most maga people not into this because of course they are not racist. I mean, they'll support racists and racist policy and policy that people call racist, but march with racists? Heaven forbid, they love all kinds of people! White people, brown people, black people yellow people ...

But as milton parker pointed out, barely anyone showed up to this thing today. Which is good. It means they are not widely supported.

― Arch Bacon (rushomancy), Sunday, 12 August 2018 23:34 (five years ago) link
xpost not widely supported anywhere, except by the police
between this and portland/berkeley last week, fascinating to watch the police strategy for these rallies tack towards escorts & barricades & shutting down public transit services (and lying about doing so) as the best way to prevent violence
I was at Berkeley last week, it was the same thing; micro-gathering in MLK park, with police barricades roping off all public access one block off in all directions. It's a united decision.
― Milton Parker, Sunday, 12 August 2018 23:37 (five years ago) link
hm, yeah it is quite fucked especially because the white supremacist groups have been the perpetrators of the violence not the victims.
― Trϵϵship, Sunday, 12 August 2018 23:38 (five years ago) link
you'd think someone might have alerted them to the possible optics of starting to do this nationwide, all in the same week. I suspect it didn't occur to whomever it was handing down the orders that those optics would be bad
