I do not understand how Trump manages to retain as high an approval rating as has been reported. It may be considered a "low" approval rating, but it remains higher than seems reasonable.

Thank you to Californians!! Amazing numbers!

You need to take these crowds to the doors of the news stations that refuse to cover them.

Better yet, take them to Mar-A-Lago and the White House and start rattling the fences and putting up effugies of Trump and Musk.
There needs to be some genuine terror put in the orange dingleberry and his goons.

Why are there not mutliple events in many cities featuring numerous elected officials in addition to AOC and Sanders? Now is the time to moblizie and galvanize the resistance.

Nope. LA Fire Department says 15,000. Add up all the areas and it wouldn’t hold near that much. Why do people have to lie about a rally?

I don’t know. I read 36,000 in so many places I thought that was the accurate number. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I'm not trying to take away from this in any way, but a suggestion for @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov:

LA: no-brainer - How this would work in, for example, McLennan County (Waco) Texas, pop. 270K, that went 65/35 Red in 2024?

Is the message getting to the people who need to hear it?

Studies show that we need 3.5% of the population to peacefully protest to topple an authoritarian regime. The population of the US is 340m, which means we need 11.8 million people to protest. We can do this!

jonrademacher.bsky.social•12 hours ago

This is fascism. It doesn't work the same. Fascists never peacefully let go of power. Fascism is a sub niche of authoritarianism but we need more people to realize that the 3.5% isn't gonna get them to let go. Fascists never do.

geekonomicon.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Fascism is a very distinct subniche. Historically they have never once conceded power. Ever.

Not according to Erica Chenoweth's research. I hope this link comes through, but if not, enter dictatorships and 3.5% into your search engine.
