Creative protests & resistance to fascism are happening everywhere. Keep standing up, even in the reddest states. It matters that others see your courage.

Creative protests are just the best. This particular one is so good. Makes me feel … motivated to join in.

Los Angeles is supposed to host the Olympics in 2028. We should ask the International Olympic Committee to use LA games as leverage to make USA live up to spirit & values of the Olympic Games right now! Here's the link to contact IOC:

Wonderful interview by Chis Hayes.

Now if they just say something like “one nation all together” instead of the God part…

I've done two street corner silent protests in my town just this week. I'm taken by the number of people driving by who yell or mouth "thank you."

henleyparker.bsky.social•58 days ago

You’re awesome! Keep it up!

Awesome job protestors!

It strikes me that in these situations reciting the pledge of allegiance is an extremely powerful form of protest. Every American knows it and every American has made it hundreds of times. It will create hesitancy in those attempting a violent dispersal as it would look *very bad* on TV and SM.

As much as I dislike the pledge “With Liberty and Justice FOR ALL” really rings out as a rallying cry

myfiona.bsky.social•58 days ago

If you leave out the “under god” part, that was added in 1952, it’s a great protest. (We are not a christian nation).

Right now, you can download a free copy of "Pranksters vs Autocrats: Why Dilemma Actions Advance Nonviolent Activism," from the Cornell University Press web site:

Cops: "I'm not tackling somebody's Meemaw in a room full of cell phones while she's reciting the Pledge of Allegiance!"

That is powerful stuff.

The "under God" version put in during the Commie scare, or the original? 🤔

The Government's first duty is to educate our children to be good citizens. But the Repubs don't want that. They want them to grow up to be stupid and loyal to the Repub Party. Stupid is as Stupid does!

marymacdougall.bsky.social•58 days ago

That is genuinely inspiring.
