(71,104 posts)... I hope they act appropriately when they receive orders to attack their fellow Americans.
I wish I were a little younger so I could blow into LA to stand beside him. I pray for the courage to stand up when the RW infection shows up here in Central Texas.

(22,226 posts)That guy was awesome, but he's not Wyatt Russell. (I don't think he even looks that much like Russell myself, but once a rumor like this gets out on the internet, it's hard to stop.)

(199 posts)I saw some people disputing the identification on Bluesky so I googled Is the viral LA guy Wyatt Russell and found this:

(20,252 posts)Wyatt Russell, son of Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, has been misidentified in a viral clip of a man scolding authorities during the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles.
A rep for the Thunderbolts* actor confirmed the misidentification to Entertainment Weekly, noting that the team has been working to correct the misinformation.

(3,425 posts)... Wyatt's stunt double, 'cause going back to the google pix I saw, the resemblance is uncanny.

(2,365 posts)“You should be standing here w/ us!” the young man declares from a line of protesters + press.
“You’re on the wrong side of history. We know you got a job to do... but you took an oath to the Constitution -- not the fascists in the White House!!!
"Think about what you’re doing now... Think about what this means -- coming into our community... peaceful fucking community... people working their jobs.
"They send in men in military fatigues, weapons of war -- into our community + you stand here + you allow it. I’m sick + tired of it. You should be sick + tired of it.”

The Flower (Feat. Victoria Canal)
Song by Michael Franti and Spearhead ‧ 2019
We could be the healin'
When you're feeling all alone
We could be the reason
To find the strength to carry on
In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
What would I say to my son or to my daughter
If they came and asked me bout these days
What kinda reason could I give for all the hate that's standing in the way
Wish I could tell em that nobody's gonna judge them
And every stranger on the block is gonna love them
No bully in the world will ever hurt em
But I can't say that today
Woah-oh
No one could ever take your pride from you
Speak your truth and let your spirit fly
Cause we could be the healin'
When you're feeling all alone
We could be the reason
To find the strength to carry on
In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
What could I say to every woman who was ever told
By a man don't try to reach too high
What could I say to every girl who was betrayed
And told to keep the pain locked inside
Wish I could say nobody's ever judge me
Every stranger on the block is gonna love me
No bully in the world is gonna hurt me
But I can't say that today
Woah-oh
No one could ever take my pride from me
I'll speak my truth and let my spirit fly
Cause we could be the healin'
When you're feeling all alone
We could be the reason
To find the strength to carry on
In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
It's like somebody dropping a pebble into a pond
And sending ripples out to the world
Woah
Woah
Yeah
Yeah
Woah (Everybody say)
Woah
Yeah
Yeah
Woah
Woah (We could be the healing)
Yeah
Yeah
Woah (Everybody say)
Woah
Yeah
Cause We could be the healin'
When you're feeling all alone
We could be the reason
To find the strength to carry on
In a world that's so divided
We shall overcome
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun (Flower in the gun)
We could be the healing
We can be the flower in the gun
We can be the flower in the gun

(12,172 posts)It's 2.5 hours each way. She has a bad back and a hip that just pops out of joint at times, and she and her friend have 70th birthdays not that far in the offing. It is not an insignificant commitment for them. They have been friends since highschool.
I would would have signed up with them in a heartbeat, but the commute from Vancouver is formidable.

(255 posts)Wow! This is the guy I would want as a friend and neighbor! I love people who can speak with compassion without the speech writers and prompting!
Thank you for sharing! It is POWERFUL!
