Big enough that I couldn't really take a photo that captures it. Haven't seen a protest this big here, including after the BP oil spill.
We're intentionally a bit removed from the center since we're here with kids.

So excited to hear @pluralistic talk about Enshittification at Octavia Books here in #NewOrleans @noladon
He drank a big cup of coffee beforehand!
Update: Great talk! I was barely able to keep up with the highly caffeinated flow of information! Fortunately, I now have the book to review at my leisure. And I ended up sitting right next to my old NolaBlogger buddy @TMRuppert Good times.

We don't have a word for this new anti-enshittification, anti-oligarch, anti-carbon baron movement yet, but perhaps that word might be "solidarity." Solidarity is the opposite of fascism. The solidarinet is the opposite of the enshitternet. Solidarity is what stops disasters from becoming catastrophes:

The mere existence of a law - in 2025, nearly half a century into the neoliberal era - that mentions "coercion" marks a profoud shift in ideology, a recovery of the idea that we are always under threat of "a conspiracy against the public...some contrivance to raise prices."
In a way, this just proves how right Trump is: the American way of life really *is* under threat from the radical Marxist ideology...of Adam Smith.
