Today as Trump supporters held another "Stop the Steal" rally in Atlanta, GA, a coalition of armed leftist militia members, black-bloc clad antifascists, Refuse Fascism, and Black Lives Matter activists counter-protested. #AtlantaProtests

Footage by Joey Pluto for @N2Sreports
I suspect some might be confused by the outfit worn by a leftist militiaman, which some may mistake for a rightist one.

See the patch on their arm; rather than "Don't treat on me" it's a version of the "We will tread where there is inequality" patch.

The antifa led with a wall of rain barrels repurposed as shields toward the "Stop the Steal" rally taking place in Atlanta.

Behind a line of police officers, Georgia State Patrol also had men outfitted with gas masks, rifles, and grenade launchers (presumably for tear gas.)

The uprising you see in Atlanta is also largely economic.
You got middle class, comfortable Black people bragging about "Black Mecca" while other Black people are driving for UBER and working at Peremiter Mall to make ends meet.

Most people claiming love for Atlanta are transplants. Who love seeing all the Blackness. But never stop to notice that locals are pushed into low wage jobs while "Black excellence" moves into the gentrified areas of the city.

I got roots here. And I can't even live in the city limits because the same neighborhoods my grandma, mom, and great aunts lived in are now overrun with middle class Black and white millennials who can afford to buy a house or pay 1600 dollars for a 1 bedroom apartment.

Se o assassinato de #GeorgeFloyd lembrou o de #EricGarner, a resposta da população lembra a resposta à absolvição dos policiais que espancaram #RodneyKing em 1992, em Los Angeles. Mineápolis em convulsão social #minneapolisriots

@USAmbIceland @usembreykjavik In #deathtotals this impostor leads.
At 100000 our nation bleeds.
As before: THERE’S NO PLAN.
Just this #ElCrappyTan
whose ineptness no one supersedes.

@USAmbIceland @usembreykjavik @ArcticCouncil @landlaeknir @Landspitali @svasva @HouseForeign @SpeakerPelosi #Iceland’s strategy?
Try using SCIENCE.
Trump’s malfeasance?
It’s his failed appliance.
Donald flubbed the #pandemic. Response was anemic!
Upon Trump there exists no reliance.
