That failed in France 1940 until an armed resistance rose up and fought. By contrast, China is still ruled by one party after the 1989 Tienamann protest. Protest will fail here, too, until the people physically resist. Words have failed. It's time for a fight.
Any act of resistance is a contribution to the cause. Don’t 💩 on people on your side who do things differently than you would. We need to be encouraging EVERY act and type of resistance. We have to start somewhere with our off-the-couch action and #thepeoplesmarch is the only concrete thing out now
Who's shitting on you? Yes. Protest is a form of resistance. I think it will fall on deaf ears. I know violence isn't always the answer. But there does come a point where words fail & real fighting is needed. We disagree on where that point lies. Debate is healthy. I posit we're past that point.
I’m just tired of having to explain why marches and protests work tbh. Do they fix everything that minute? No. But they do have a purpose. Marches and protests remind the red that we are here, we’re ready to fight for our rights and we won’t back down. They’re a starting point. They also 🧵
Serve other purposes:
-creating and uniting communities around a central goal
-reminding blue legislators that we’re here and we have their backs
-encouraging legislators to oppose the tyrannical aspirations of incoming admin
-they’re healing
-they’re good for the collective mental health

I don’t fear anyone. I was born to die.
I’m a small woman but I have a mighty kick. I have fought, stabbed, kicked and knocked out men bigger than me. I will nut drop you and break your neck while you’re going down. Like I tell my abusers you sleep I don’t. I’m an indomitable savage when attacked.
Start the #resistance in your city, gather friends and family. Organize a march or a protest.
Remember to remain NON-VIOLENT.
Use your voice and your pen.
Teach the girls how to fight dirty. (YBMC)
Teach boys to respect/protect women.
There is no time to lose! Start NOW.
If the guy with the whip had a gun though 😭 That's the situation in the US right now but I agree, we just need to get bulletproof vests and protective gear.
No ones standing up because the majority of the country has no clue what a dictatorship is let alone what it looks like, republicans reeked havoc on public schools so this is the result.

They remain standing, merely looking at their phones while the whip master remains at their head.
Some step up while others cower and acquiesce
Good will prevail over the cruel depravity of Trump and the MAGA Cult
Good needs all the help it can get now more than ever
