And it looks like a third world war is developing around the world. And Trump as president is the perfect storm. And 77 million Trump Base supporters Voted for This. Democrats playby old rules.

It's economic Darwinism.
a) the protests are working to make the most vulnerable nervous (keep calling and protesting)
b) they DO NOT want their constituents to realize they are set to cut $880 B from Medicaid and MORE
c) they are at odds with each other
Push Hard Now

Move against the administration

If you march at a busy intersection, use the crosswalk and erupt in thunderous noise as you cross. Then, let cars go, wait for the next signal to erupt again. Repeat
Blocking traffic gives police an excuse to stop you, _and_ letting cars go gets the word out to more happy drivers!

Start with conviction; bring a friend, make a plan, make a habit
Say it out loud and say it often:
"This is wrong"
Then,
Insist
Resist
Persist
so like:

β’ a dirty fish tank with one big orange fish swimming in filth
β’ gas tank
β’ 'tank'-ing the economy signs
