That's a super cool meme of the non-violent protests in the Wisconsin state capitol rotunda... from 2011. They packed the building to protest "against Republican legislation aimed at removing the collective bargaining rights of an estimated 300,000 workers."Did you... you weren't trying to pass that off as something else were you? You weren't reposting a demonstrably false and stupid meme originally shared by noted conservative Ted Nugent in an attempt to draw a dishonest and contemptible comparison to the treasonous and violent mob who tried to "hang Mike Pence", were you? Because that would probably make you... a really stupid f*cking scumbag, now wouldn't it?
cdtm knows it's fake, he's just a piece of shit

Lucien already linked you to the fact check and the original 2011 news story where that picture was taken from, keep embarrassing yourself for cool points on Broly's Discord, loser.
And Politifact is wrong, as usual:

Photos in the post authentically represent the 2018 protests
Good job cherry picking to spin reality, the paragraph in full:
A post equating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol to 2018 demonstrations against the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is MISSING CONTEXT, based on our research, because without additional information it could be misleading. Photos in the post authentically represent the 2018 protests, but the text leaves out key differences between the demonstrations, including violence during the Jan. 6 riot that resulted in the death of a U.S. Capitol Police officer and a demonstrator. Protesters also did not enter the Supreme Court in 2018, as the post claims. The Capitol was open to the public in 2018, but closed during the Jan. 6 riot."
That photo you posted is also from a 2011 protest. Now go tell DDM and Broly on the Discord what a good boy you're being here, loser.

That quote I posted is from your own article, dummy
Originally posted by cdtmI figured already that you're family tree doesn't fork given how fantastically stupid most of your posts are. But to be this delusional, to have such flexibility in your mental gymnastics... that takes something truly special.
No, it's legitimate. Fact check sites confirmed it, before making bs reasons why it is a bad comparison.
You're a special little guy, and I feel very protective of you all of a sudden.

Ida B. Wells’ inspiring legacy is being honored by Barbie

Wells’ great-granddaughter, author and public historian Michelle Duster, told theGrio why the pioneering journalist and activist is an ideal new addition to Barbie’s Inspiring Women SeriesThis coming Monday, we celebrate the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., inarguably the most recognizable figure of 20th century civil rights movement. But among the many activists who forged a path for that iconic leader was Ida B. Wells, whose crusade for racial justice and gender equality at the turn of the last century laid the groundwork for not only contemporary activism, but investigative journalism as well.
Wells’ legacy may be writ large in her birthplace of Holly Springs, Miss. and adopted homes of Memphis and Chicago, but in recent years, her enduring impact has once again been recognized on a national scale. Most notably, she was awarded a posthumous 2020 Pulitzer Prize, honored in the same class as one of her journalistic successors, Nikole Hannah-Jones—who coincidentally co-founded the Ida B. Wells Society for Investigative Journalism at the University of North Carolina.

Now, Wells’ influence will reach an even younger generation, as the civil rights pioneer has been honored with a doll in her likeness as part of Barbie’s Inspiring Women Series.“My great-grandmother was a trailblazer who courageously followed her convictions and challenged the status quo by fighting for civil rights and women’s suffrage,” said public historian and writer Michelle Duster, great-granddaughter of Ida B. Wells and author of the newly released Ida B. Wells, Voice of Truth, in a statement. “This is an incredible opportunity to shine a light on her truth and enduring legacy to empower a new generation to speak up for what they believe in.”
Barbie’s parent company, Mattel, explained its tribute to the storied activist in a statement: “Diversity and inclusion must be the foundation of all that we do. We will continue to dedicate resources to directly impact the Black community through the Dream Gap Project Fund, to help remove barriers that prevent the next generation from reaching their full potential. Our efforts include a commitment to spotlight more Black role models who are female, and now, we are introducing a doll that honors Ida B. Wells, a journalist, activist, suffragist, and researcher who helped shine a spotlight on civil injustice.”
“We are incredibly proud to welcome pioneering civil rights activist and suffragist Ida B. Wells to the Barbie Inspiring Women line, so kids can learn more about the great strides she made toward equality during her lifetime,” said Lisa McKnight, senior vice president and global head of Barbie and Dolls at Mattel. “It is so important for kids to be exposed to role models like Ida B. Wells to remind them that they are powerful and can make a difference in the world.”
Duster further discussed the unique honor with theGrio via email, explaining why she and her family felt Barbie was an ideal collaborator in helping to further advance Wells’ legacy.
“My brother Dan and I were honored and excited that Barbie chose to celebrate my great-grandmother with an Inspiring Women doll,” she shared. “Working with an empowering brand like Barbie allows us to continue sharing our great-grandmother’s legacy with the younger generation on a huge scale. It’s been exciting to see the overwhelmingly positive reactions to the doll in her honor.”

That honor doesn’t stop with a doll. In keeping with Wells’ life work and Barbie’s continued commitment to close the Dream Gap, the brand has partnered with Girls Write Now, a nonprofit “that has been breaking down barriers of gender, race, age, and poverty to mentor the next generation of writers and leaders for the past 25 years.” Per Barbie’s statement, its campaign will include:Funding for writing and publishing programs for high school girls and gender-expansive young adults, introducing role models to inspire the next generation of writers and leaders through a Barbie Dream Gap Project donation.
Sponsoring a virtual Barbie Dream Gap event on February 18 with Michelle Duster.
Participating in a Girls Write Now Different Perspectives Initiative later in 2022, where young girls will be encouraged to write stories from their own perspectives inspired by a single video clip and guided by two Barbie-inspired videos.
Encouraging Amazon shoppers to donate a percentage of the proceeds from their purchases to Girls Write Now through Amazon Smiles, in celebration of Black History Month.
The multifaceted campaign continues Barbie’s over-sixty-year evolution from glamorous fashion doll to empowering role model, progress Duster noted while explaining how the brand’s current mission parallels her great-grandmother’s more closely than one might expect.
What a joke. 😂
Mattel is a soulless corporation consumed only with profit. You can NOT have meaningful social activism from the top down, it doesn't work that way.
Does the tyrant found his own revolution against himself?
