Things To Do In Beacon, NY 📅 10/18/2025

Everyone knows that T is a murderous psychopath. And that the Rubios around him are evil people. Like - proof that evilness actually exists. Israeli military already proved that to us in this lifetime. It's been proved before in earlier lifetimes and chapters within this one.  Important specifics to protest are the allowance of Holtec International dumping of 45,000 gallons of radioactive wastewater into the Mahicannituk (currently called the Hudson River before European occupation...Mahicannituk is the Mohikan name for the river, and is translated as 'the river that flows both ways,' or 'the waters that are never still.'). Meanwhile...the big weekend is here!! It's time for Roll Out later today Saturday at The Yard (the big print project where local artists and 3rd-5th graders have made massive woodblocks to be press printed by steamrollers) and the Beacon Sloop Club's Pumpkin Festival on Sunday.

Information > Protest Against Israel Breaking Ceasefire Date: Every Sunday Time: 12pm-1pm Location: 450 NY-211, Middletown, NY From the Organizers: "The fight for Gaza isn’t over — the genocide continues. Palestinians are still dying from starvation, disease, and lack of medical care after two years under relentless assault. Families have no homes, no hospitals, no food, and no safety — trapped in a cage of death. "Despite the October ceasefire, Israel has continued to violate its terms; cutting aid, restricting fuel, and carrying out deadly attacks across Gaza and the West Bank. "We’re keeping our Sunday rallies going to continue building momentum, and to hold the line in demanding accountability from U.S. and Israeli politicians like Trump and Netanyahu for their role in the genocide in Gaza. "We encourage folks to bring any art supplies: large markers, canvases, cardboard, paint and brushes, or anything else you have — so we can create new protest signs on the spot."
