Video shows people marching in the street wearing yellow with some waving flags. Car traffic is stopped, and the marchers weave around several police cars with their lights on; no other signs of actual police. The crowd is chanting something but I don't know the language.

Tansu Çiller, and the corruption of her neoliberal government, was one of the primary drivers of the neoliberalism-to-fascism pipeline* in Turkey that exacerbated inequality, alienated and marginalised huge swaths of the population, and eventually led to Erdoğan’s fascist/Islamist takeover.
Carve her name, indeed; right next to Margaret Thatcher’s.

For various reasons I'm probably not going to be at any Saturday protests for long, but I'm thinking about buying & dropping off some supplies to support them:
- Bottled water and/or electrolyte drinks.
- Slats, posterboard, markers, and stapler to let people who show up without a sign make their own.
Anyone else got good ideas or planning on doing supply runs?
