this is a great start. and the energy of being a part of this helps offset that sense of doom and isolation. but just standing around outside and yelling putters out after a while.
at any case, glad it's started.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

It's a start.
To me this whole thing has the vibe of a hostile corporate takeover where the end goal is to part out the company and sell it for short term profit.
This isn’t a Democratic overreaction type thing, this an unelected billionaire with some weird kids who haven’t earned anything to MERIT this type of access.
This impacts Red states and Blue states and a first step ✌️

Which is entirely possible if Elon's pet groypers manage to break or sabotage the Treasury payment system.
I would love for them to prove me wrong this time.
I have dreamed of the villagers finally getting angry
I know, writing to your congressman sounds like ineffective cringelib shit to people more used to direct action, but seriously, SO few people actually do it.
And you know what, hell yeah
That’s what the French do.
Nobody likes flaming tires being rolled at their riot lines.
So many people here really don't get that. The French don't fuck around with things like we do. Those kinds of protests in France ARE the "peaceful protests."
Get a sheet of plywood somewhat on the thicker side (9mm or more)
Buy an handle. Drill it into said sheet of plywood.
Get 10-15 people to do that. Now you have your own riot shield line.
Thicker plywood should be able to stop rubber bullets.
Practice these things. Police have training and organization. Counter it with your own.
Be peaceful. But always be prepare for violence. My comments, other than the tire fire ones can be useful for peaceful movements. Hong Kong protesters were not violent for example.
The state had sanctioned violence. Be prepared for them to use it.

Those masks can be retrofitted with gas filters.
The CS pops off and you got 20min of hate per tank on your back.

I suspect that we're not going to make real headway until Republicans start seeing Musk as a danger in large numbers.
I hope they do something to get control back of the building.
In many places, including PTUSA (pro-Trump) it would have mattered a lot more. Now, not sure how all that shit gets fixed.
