If I send that out, I’m going to end up in several fist fights. People are going to smart ass back at me and then yada yada yada punch a Nazi in the face.
People were talking it up at the 300 person Tesla protest today in Tempe AZ. Love to see the energy around this. Last week it was Bernie and AOC here drawing over 15K.
I hope we see over 10K out in Phoenix that would be amazing.
I'm signed up to attend! A half a day's time is definitely worth it! Also posted the event on FB - I'm sure some of the storm troopers there will not react positively!
Sounds like a plan! Musk/Trump & JDV do NOT RULE THIS COUNTRY! We need to also explain it to the Republicans that they DO NOT RULE THIS COUNTRY either!
Election Day was the chance to do something. But too many people on the Democratic side couldn't be bothered, or found some excuse to justify the racism and sexism that kept them from voting for Harris. Democrats need to get over the notion that post-election "activism" is a cure for anything.
You know who else is going to come out? His base. It’s going to be ugly, it’s going to be violent and it will be the excuse he needs to declare martial law. You saw it here first.
A test of our ethical immune system against this hate virus. We need not only one mass protest, but regular mass protests and organized actions. I'm on so many email lists I'm drowning, but would sign up for one strategic, centralized action group.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 https://youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4
If you choose to protest peacefully, in person, Alison Gary has some of the best, most useful, practical real-world advice that you'll ever get. I encourage you to read and share this:
Come on Everybody! Tell Everyone You Know. Grab Your Signs and Let's Go!! Check website for main gathering site, or go where you can. Alert you local media so you are seen and heard.
Please repost everywhere you can.🦸♂️🦸♀️🦾💪🙋🙋♂️
AND WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU @schumer.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @whitehouse.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov @governor.ny.gov @aoc.bsky.social STEP UP the days of you believing that if you talk, if you complain, you have done your job ARE OVER DO YOUR JOBS
This lay be far too simple a solution but the dem leadership seems to be waiting this out. Instead of pushing back, individual efforts aren't effective and protests don't work unless they are supported in congress: there lust be something they can do.
I was in DC for the Women’s March after the first trump inaugural. Keepin it hometown this time! Find a gathering near you and network! The only way is through this with action!
George, why did you stop talking about his diminished mental capacity? Even beyond the personality disorders, he seems to show signs of worsening dementia of some sort.
You know the guy, what do you think?
here are also more places we are organizing and going. https://wearetheflood.net get involved and maybe they will be near you. check it out, and lets go save this country.
I'll be attending. This will be my first ever appearance at a demonstration. I'm not the crowd type, but this is important. This is our moment to stop fascism before bullets have to fly.
Not to long ago
I would of my joined this but I really don't see a point anymore. Time after time he's proven he's above the law. Whats a protest gonna do? Serious question
Never dreamed I would be marching - dear lord, I am in my 70s, and way too old for this.
But I will be marching Saturday. Join in somewhere. Make them hear us!
George...all the sponsoring groups should make clear that there is no litmus test to join in if you oppose the actions of the administration.
You voted for Trump but regret it - welcome!
You wanted border security but not goons abducting people & sending to goolag - welcome!
1/
The Conservative movement and all its lies and media infosphere sold the population into this madness
And Dems have not been strong enough
I want to move forward as a nation not return to old broken institutions and swing back and forth between MAGA madness and Dem preservation of old ways
Others are holding “missing GOP/MAGA reps town halls” where they hold town halls in areas where the representatives refuse to meet with their constituents… Rep Frost and a senator (Murphy, maybe?) have done this. Others too, I think
AOC+BERNIE+??? Absolutely, AOC & Bernie are doing a wonderful thing & drawing incredible crowds to oppose Trump & his MAGA sycophants. Imagine if they added the Obamas, Cheney, Harris, Kinzinger, Booker, etc. & were filling stadiums around the country on an "American Freedom Tour" to the Midterms.
Absolutely - in this moment, we need to form alliances and welcome anyone opposed to what Trump 2.0 is doing, no matter who they voted for. Realistically though, when it comes to voting, MAGA will either vote vote GOP or not vote - they won't vote Dem.
Here's the key: you're sorry your voted for Trump? Yeah, so am I. I don't want to hear I'm sorry before you fade into the background. I want to hear what you're doing about it. What's your plan? Even if it's attending only 1 protest. Take the time like you did when you voted for a sex-abusing felon.
I agree. But a great deal of resistance to this I see online and among people I meet is: "It was clear as day what Trump was before the election. They are only now complaining when the harm they knew was coming is starting to effect them? FAFO!"
It is not a helpful sentiment, but it's widespread.
It’s widespread because it’s what they deserve. And I admit it’s not what a good person should do, but I can’t generate empathy for people that don’t have it for others.
Agree, they want dems to get on all fours for MAGA, but November should have proven that Republicans will never vote dem. So that leaves just the independents. 90+ percent of repubs, like what he is doing. The polls show it, too.
Some people who voted for #Trump are as hateful as he is. But many were just brainwashed by the constant tsunami of disinformation and propaganda from #Faux, right-wing podcasts, social media, etc., financed by billionaires. Watch 5 minutes of #Faux and it's easy to see how it's done.
Yeah... and watch if SS/M/M stops or freezes. It will be twisted as Dems' fault... bc "those immigrants and lazy city-dwellers fraudulent takers ruined *our* system". Mark my word. Be ready for the lies. 😡 Oh, & they ignore MAGA fraud bc they're "entitled to take what was stolen" from them. 😡
Thank you. I’m seeing friends post condescending and berating, finger pointing things. That’s not how we get forward. We all agree it’s terrible- our response should be “welcome to the resistance. Glad you caught on 🩷”
If you think berating people for their mistake, who now want to be part of the solution, then you’re not actually helping. It’s going to take coming together to bring it all down
>10M bought into "her emails" and "she laughs too much" and sunk HRC and Kamala. And that includes people like Jayapal and Omar who wouldn't back Kamala; and even Bernie who didn't do dick for HRC.
You wanted a rational & clear eyed review of federal spending & priorities search for waste: but not this shit - welcome!
You support the first amendment & rule of law all the time not just when it's convenient for your side - welcome!
Canada & Denmark are friends, Putin isnt. -Welcome!
Plenty of US citizens are pushing back as hard as we can against Trump and Vance’s rapacious greed. We all need to stand strong against MAGA — united we stand, divided we fall.
He doesn't want to be in NATO anymore, although OBVIOUSLY 90% of America still does. We are protesting. We support Canada, Ukraine, and Greenland/DE sovereignty.
We support DEMOCRACY.
Are you going to build a collation to get him out or just enjoy that superior feeling as the place burns down though? This isn’t a moral test, it’s a crisis.
You don’t need to “integrate”
anyone - this is the problematic assumption behind identity politics. You need to work out when you need them, and make common cause at the right moment. The danger lies in failing to act in the actual political realm at all, and being content with identity formation.
I’m a political junkie. I didn’t hear a thing about threatening our allies with takeovers in Greenland and Canada during his campaign. I also didn’t hear him him threatening to steal Ukrainian natural resources in return for support.
That’s true, he did not threaten to take us over. He did however go on and on and on about his beloved tariffs. The most beautiful word in the dictionary.
I am a New Zealander and yes, even here at the bottom of the world our new programmes reported on all those things.
I also read Daily Kos and they were all discussed there as well.
Exactly!!! They voted for all of that to happen to 'other people' and only have regrets now they're personally affected by Trumps actions.
Some people may take a bit longer to embrace those that were cheering on the avalanche of hurt they thought was heading the 'lefty libs' way..
I dunno. I spent the holidays in Texas with my US family (I live in Germany), and I have Trump-voting relatives who you could charitably describe as "low-information voters". They never watch cable news (or any news), and live in areas where "Jesus is my Savior, Trump is my President" is everywhere.
(The one and only time I broached the election, I got the response, "We don't talk politics around here. Everyone just knows Trump is obviously going to be better for the economy." Now of course, that "lived experience" viewpoint might soon change.)
That’s why I’m suspicious about escalation of 🚙🔥🧨.
During the BLM protests, ‘someone’ put bricks on a truck and placed them on street corners, then provocateurs broke windows to provoke violence. There were arrests, and it’s on record.
He’s going to declare Martial Law whether we are rioting in the streets or not stepping out of line at all. He’ll make up a reason if he has to. Don’t let that stop you from taking action.
A lot of us want the same thing, we just don’t always agree with the way to get the end result. Political parties have used that to divide us instead. The could’ve just said, we don’t think that will work and what do you think about this.
They knew that trump will hurt the country when they voted for him. Their only regret is that trump is hurting them/their families/interests and not just to dems and liberals. It’s buyer’s remorse syndrome. Come general elections time, they will still vote republican no matter who is on the ballot.
So? If they’re on my side at a time when I need them to help me get something I want, I’ll take it. It doesn’t mean I’ll trust them or break bread with them, but if they vote, even once, in a way that helps me that’s all I care about.
Republican voters are Nazified. Many are making clear they’re very pleased with how things are going. Many others are still trying to blame Democrats for their deficiencies which is equally insane. 😵💫🤔💔🤍💙
She thinks Biden stole millions, and Trump can do no harm. Oh, and she thinks Elon is actually finding fraud.
Asked if she's fine missing her S.S. she said she's fine missing her $4000 monthly S.S. She's wealthy, so of course(drives a Mercedes)
BRAINWASHED QANON MAGA
She may be rich-she may just =dumb pussy&freelances but most won’t like something they’ve worked for&is rightfully theirs, grabbed. $4K a month is not chump change.

Yes, all are welcome, but if you come late to the party, I expect you to stay and clean up.
They made this mess. They need to help fix it. That might mean simply recognizing they are low information voters and reading, listening, and staying quiet while the rest of us do the heavy lifting.
Good luck with that. Pandora’s Box was opened and it is so much harder to put it back in. I will continue to resist but there are so many who are still cheering this madness on. I am terrified for my grandchildren. I doubt the world can get back to what it was.
They have also been conditioned over decades to distrust the media, think academics are the enemy of common sense, and to think Democrats are evil pedophile baby killers.
When that's how you filter your information, of course, you get nonsense conspiracy theories.
Welcome where?
Seriously though, there is no requirement to join anything to "oppose (one, some, or all) the actions of administration".
Nobody is checking tattoos at a protest.
Is it about family and friends?
all these ppl had enough brains to not vote.
those who did and now regret do it because it affects their own job, money, standing. and the second https://s.one promises a solution that in best case hurts others they will follow again with flying colors.
welcome the nonvoters not the maga.
I’m sure most of them voted for him 3 times. Unless they show us they can change Nov ‘26, I’m not giving them any slack. They put us here.
Tuesday in FL & WI would be a good start.
I'm with you. Any time I hear about someone being affected by the orange stain's actions, I ask, "who'd they vote for?". I cannot waste time feeling sorry for someone who literally voted to take food out of their own children's mouths.
Simply not true if you compare the 2016 & 2024. The voting base isn't static. Nor is demography.
Dems have failed to offer leadership, policies and messaging that speaks effectively to those open to switching sides.
The Bulwark is often really strong on this stuff (& I'm not even a centrist).
I believe the strong Anti musk sentiment and his attempt to buy the Wisconsin SC seat will propel Crawford!
Florida’s district 6 is gonna flip.
GAETZ’s district isn’t budging it seems
I blocked a woman who purity-tested me the other day. I am a democrat big and little d. She acted like she was on twitter and deigned in the end not to block me. I thought, shit, we don't have time for this nonsense. We are literally fighting authoritarianism.
It is critical that we won't these people over. We must listen to their concerns and offer them sane solutions. Educate and inform. Truth and data is the antidote to misinformation. Repeat simple messages clearly.
The victory of James Malone (in the special election to the Pennsylvania senate) offered a strategy ... to appeal to MAGA-adjacent voters.
He focused on Musk ... not directly attacking you-know-who ... which may help sway a few marginal voters who say "I like Trump ... but I didn't vote for Musk".
Conway's been screaming this since Trump took office in 2017 even as his wife worked under Trump, sadly, you just heard about his fight against Trump today.
He’s been part of Lincoln Project fighting Trump, but I haven’t heard any of them talking about the 50501 protests that have been happening since the beginning. Only Rachel Maddow has been covering it. If you have proof of Conway covering the 50501 movement, by all means correct me.
I admit I ordered blank protest signs from Amazon because it was easy. Please don't chastise me. I am wondering though, if they have seen an uptick in these kind of orders. My guess is they have...by a lot.
So glad you are spreading the word. Chris Murphy was saying at the town hall in Stamford last night that change can happen when three percent of the population is mobilized.
4/5 is a somewhat of a test to see if protests can get large numbers. It will be followed by even bigger protests on 5/1 and 5/26. There will be an attempt on 5/1 to establish a protest camp on the National Mall.
You don't havoc this amount of disaster with your croonies if you're not sure you'll stay in power. Fascism is here and they'll break free journalism, they'll break independent judiciary and Trump et al will break democracy in one years time (before/during the midterms)
Thank you for the general link. I'm doing some traveling but would like to participate whenever and where possible! Stay strong and stay safe, and always get into good trouble.
Please do NOT expose yourself to the fascists and make yourself vulnerable. This is an extraordinarily terrible idea to resist fascism and I need people to stop pretending them ignoring judges is still democracy.
Make sure anything you do is to disrupt their systems. Remember, this is fascism we are dealing with. Democracy NEVER works with fascists. A protest out of a symbolic nature NEVER works against them and they historically WILL use it against you. I know we all care so smdo something that matters.
The problem is we don't have any experience with real fascism. We're out here not knowing the difference between authoritarianism, totalitarianism, fascism, oligarchy, on and on. (USA Americans) don't know what to do without our protected right to protest.
We don't know what that list entails. 😔
Do not expose identifying marks. CCTV exists. Remember, they have CCTV. Don't get your plates on a camera. No tattoos or notable scars on camera. No faces. No names. For the love of God do not put your name and contact info on a hackable website registration. Be smart.

The 5th & 14th Amendment is clear DUE PROCESS is for everyone PERIOD
We may need to be ready to sue the DOJ for being in violation of the Constitution
I hope we see over 10K out in Phoenix that would be amazing.
This is a tipping point, folks!!
If you've ever thanked a military service member for fighting for our freedoms, it's our turn now to return that service.
Be a part of history, and take our flag back!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Just like 🇨🇦.
That small percentage has to now trade in their F Trudeau flags for F. Carney flags.
They stand out like a sore thumb.
No more taking our 🇨🇦 flag.
You want to be an asshole, carry your own flag dipshits.
I’ve signed up and other family members have as well.
Republican, Democrat and independents are all showing up.
It was so awesome to see my community show up in such large numbers. Thank You!

When just 3.5% of the population actively joins a movement, her research showed, change often becomes inevitable.

Where are the other D leaders? Why are they not replicating what these two are doing?
Where are other D people who hate the current situation?
I am 83 years old living on SS. I can’t attend protests but I can donate. And I am.
We need mass mobilization.

It is not a helpful sentiment, but it's widespread.
Yes, if someone is pissed off with autocracy and wants to protest, welcome!
But most MAGAs are still with Trump.
For the initial protests, dems, independents & non-voters need to mobilize.
If this was normal times
It’s not
There is no possibility of sane dialogue with them. They want to cause you, me and all of us pain, even at their own expense if necessary
Their underpinning is hate and cruelty
Ridicule them
Call them out
They are never coming back to earth
If I saw a shred of sanity from the right, I might agree
There is no sanity. They are lost. Gone forever.
We have seen, for a decade now, people exhibiting cult like behavior, voting against their own best interests to "own the libs"
They are not reachable
Instead ...
>10M bought into "her emails" and "she laughs too much" and sunk HRC and Kamala. And that includes people like Jayapal and Omar who wouldn't back Kamala; and even Bernie who didn't do dick for HRC.

Canadians will fight any attempt to conquer our country. If Americans don't want war, stop Trump now.
Perhaps they will wake up before the fighting begins, perhaps not.
Either way, Americans will soon enough be fighting.😔😵💫💔🤍💙

The US needs to get their house in order before they can help anyone.
We support DEMOCRACY.
They voted for it. They just didn't know it would come for them. Sure they're welcome because what else are we gonna do.
Just remember, they knew.
I don't have faith that any of it will be enough.
The people that voted for him or either evil or willfully ignorant.
Both are very dangerous.
anyone - this is the problematic assumption behind identity politics. You need to work out when you need them, and make common cause at the right moment. The danger lies in failing to act in the actual political realm at all, and being content with identity formation.

If you don't live in those communities, it's hard to fully appreciate.
They didn't know because I didn't wanna know. Willful ignorance is actually stupidity.
I have a lot of family I don't speak to anymore. Mostly by choice for me, because there are too ignorant, racist, vile.
Substitute the word COMMUNITY.
Who is best for our community?
What do we want our community to look like?
Where is the future of our community headed?
Why do we need community?
During the BLM protests, ‘someone’ put bricks on a truck and placed them on street corners, then provocateurs broke windows to provoke violence. There were arrests, and it’s on record.
You can “welcome” whoever you want, IMO they can all fuck off

That guy has baggage - many accusations of pay-for-play and political machinations. It may hurt that the Republican president has endorsed him, too.
He focused on Musk ... not directly attacking you-know-who ... which may help sway a few marginal voters who say "I didn't vote for Musk".
