@pluralistic If you like this clip, you may want to check out HONK!, a festival of activst marching bands, which stated in Somerville, MA, and has since spread to Providence, NYC, Seattle, Austin, Eugene, Wollongong, Rio, São Paulo, and Vancouver! It's my favorite annual event in Boston. https://honkfest.org/

@mattg @pluralistic we’re out there in lots of cities!

we even have our own music festivals, if you want to find/hear more activist brass band music: http://honkfest.org (this is the original such festival in Somerville, MA, but there are others in Seattle, Austin, NYC, and other cities)

Scrolling through bands that have played at past Honk! festivals is also a pretty good way to try to find an activist band from your city: https://honkfest.org/all-bands

They do indeed slap. Wow.

Every protest needs a brass band.

@NJWookie @pluralistic

Learning to play an instrument involves counting to four and using fractions.

Proud Boy: "I'm out."

* Loved the horn playing wah-wah as the Proud Boys decamped and bravely ran away.

@pluralistic I should learn to play the trumpet.

Whats up with that black and yellow american flag? Is it to honor their leader's yellow-orange face?

"Instead of allowing citizens to get educated about the role the armed services played in the founding of the country, and its current function, the National Mall was covered in the same high fencing used to secure the Capitol after the January 6th insurrection so helicopters and APCs and various small arms could be staged for photo ops."

The media would have us think Fascism is inevitable, they are wrong.

@Nonilex That federal building complex was on the way to the main LA city hall gathering. It was surrounded by national guard armed with rifles, and that was the first sign of "crowd control" we saw in the morning.

Rifles for protecting a building from protestors? Fairly disturbing.

The military leaders made choices in how they performed in their parade yesterday.

Every choice sent a message.

I'm glad they made it low key and educational, instead of an over-the-top production.

It could have been a lot more propagandistic, like the parade below.

It reassures me.

I seem to recall video of the exact same way Germans handle Nazis showing up.

They drown them out with something nice.

@pluralistic thanks, I saw this on the live stream yesterday but couldn't tell what was happening. I love how he obviously couldn't hear. The protests definitely need more brass.
