Nobody wants violence. Let’s give them music and funny signs and fill the streets with rainbows of flags from different countries and causes and if they try to arrest us for no reason will blind them with our cell phone flashlight and give them a major paper cut.

You preach peaceful resistance but support violent terrorists. Anti-Semitic hypocrite.

notsodivinemsm.bsky.social•9 days ago

Even decent Jews don't support what's going on in Gaza. Only Zionists. You might wish to stop assuming those who support Palestinians are anti-Semitic. Stom tape, mefager!

Ad feminam response the best you can muster?

lorpri.bsky.social•9 days ago

response with no validity. Empty accusation. No surprise. At least you are consistent…

lorpri.bsky.social•9 days ago

Who made that assumption. You are the only one assuming here. You also clearly have no understanding of what a Zionist is. Never Again is Now!

notsodivinemsm.bsky.social•9 days ago

You called someone anti-Semitic based on a what, again? I read what you posted to Mark. Perhaps, you should review your own post. On that note, enjoy your session with Rabbi Ignorowitz. We're adjourned here.

Trump is itching to impose martial law. Don’t give them the violent response they are trying to goad the left into carrying out.

michaelrsnyder.bsky.social•12 days ago

I like your acting, but I disagree; this all ends in violence. The sooner it starts, the sooner it will be resolved.

Violence to their wallets!

It’s surprising how VERY uncomfortable people get when Disgruntled & Vocal People Show up in Numbers in places they once felt safe … especially when it impacts their routine or money … just a Resisting Presence is enough to Sway Viewpoints

Economic boycotts and strikes will work well.

girlshane.bsky.social•12 days ago

It has to be sustained, though. I'll participate today knowing that they know one day doesn't matter, but going forward, it needs to be essentials only. Many neighborhoods have buy nothing groups, and while I think Goodwill is garbage, other thrift stores are run by local charities. Redistribute.

I used a made up name and address just in case they’re so petty as to prosecute Ukrainiansupporters.

boop32.bsky.social•12 days ago

The problem is not knowing what to do. We feel so helpless.

windycitysalmon.bsky.social•12 days ago

exactly. They want a provocation.

harrypremier201.bsky.social•12 days ago

Sorry Mark but you guys need to get that idiot out 70 million Americans got it totally wrong and have someone who has no clue it is all sham always was always will be as long as Trump stays

notaserfyet.bsky.social•12 days ago

Agree. Trump would love nothing more than another "Reichstag fire" incident.

lipblue.bsky.social•11 days ago

Violence could be constructive, appeasement is giving up.

sunshineincal.bsky.social•10 days ago

I'm not a violent person but even I see that the main problem in this county can't be solved without violence. It's not just trump. This entire country needs an overhaul. I'm ready for the west coast to secede. Let the red states turn into 2nd and 3rd world countries. Tired of taxes supporting them.

zedthered.bsky.social•11 days ago

Peaceful resistance had its time and that time is past. Luigi them all.

leapinlalas.bsky.social•12 days ago

Nonviolent sit down strikes means don’t move and take the beating. That’s the level of sacrifice needed.
MLK and Gandhi and most recently John Lewis are our examples.

iansiegel.bsky.social•11 days ago

Agreed and if they do open fire, well it ends the regime

Look what happened to Ceauseacu

lrule.bsky.social•11 days ago

There is another National Day of Protest on March 4. 50501 movement has scheduled it. Please announce it!

dlfleming2.bsky.social•11 days ago

Well… when is it?

justlilo.bsky.social•12 days ago

Peaceful Resistance !!!!!!

avendarien.bsky.social•12 days ago

They are waiting for mass protests, to unleash the military onto the civilian population.....I don't think it will go the way they think it will.

jae-jwpez.bsky.social•9 days ago

You’re old enough to remember when Russia willingly voted in Putin after their revolution to democracy. How long has he been in power now?
This is what the US just voted in
Corporations can wait people out because people will need to buy necessities
There will be NO midterms or elections
This was it

markruffalo.bsky.social•12 days ago

We also have things like the “economic rest” like today. Where we can peacefully and restfully refuse to engage in their economic existence, exploitation and domination. Today more than ever we have an enormous amount of power by refusing to engage in that.

Trump says that Zelenskyy has no cards, well we do! We can donate directly to Ukraine's war effort! Ukraine has an official website for donations! We can crowd fund and show our support. Please spread this around! We can take out the middleman;-) https://u24.gov.ua

johnhedin.bsky.social•12 days ago

Will never work no numbers like in the past. They have so much money no boycotting will break them. Sorry but being a liberal doesn’t mean being a pacifist.

flopsie.bsky.social•12 days ago

How about we do the economic rest for a week? 2weeks? We should accept a few personal inconveniemnces to show we are serious.

markruffalo.bsky.social•12 days ago

We see how these corporations are using capitalistic power against us. So they know how powerful it is. We can use it against them in the exact same way. We made them. Let’s not forget that. They are nothing without the money we spend on their projects.

Do not be baited into violence.

superhurricane.bsky.social•12 days ago

Don't forget, they want to cause a mass panic to trigger nationwide martial law, start arresting Democratic leaders and judges and suppress and dissent towards Donald, so then Vance can step in and take over unchallenged.

superhurricane.bsky.social•12 days ago

Most of us won't be baited, but given the hundreds of millions the heritage foundation raked in, they could hire hundreds of fake rioters and arsonists to cause trouble during the big protests next month. There should be at least 20 more more enforcers available to keep them from ruining protests.

johngrahamiv.bsky.social•12 days ago

When the only tool they have is a hammer every problem starts to look like a nail. Don't be a nail.

phxfirefighter.bsky.social•10 days ago

Great point!!! I did not buy anything yesterday 2/28/25. Just trying to do my small part. I’m 64 years old and I remember Watergate and Nixon. I was in a union, and it helped us firefighters tremendously. Reagan hurt unions, W was lost. But they cared. this orange menace hates America. Only wealthy

stefansommer.bsky.social•12 days ago

I like this vibe.

But also, you are literally The Hulk so it's kind of funny and not funny at all. But mostly HILARIOUS. But also darkly not funny.

Ugh.

jedijill.bsky.social•12 days ago

Nicely put, Mark.

realturkana.bsky.social•12 days ago

They’re waiting for an excuse, and if they have to concoct a Reichstag Fire, they’ll get one.

avendarien.bsky.social•12 days ago

This is the way. MLK and Gandhi showed the power of peaceful yet unrelenting resistance. It requires solidarity, though.
