Exactly, you guys know where the bad men are, just ffin go there, by the masses, and get them out of the white house. Don't hurt them, I'mnot supporting anything like that, just get them out. Look at what Serbs did when they had enough of the fear of their dictator, they arrested him themselves!
The Labor Movement is striking everywhere even here in the South. We are trying. This is Class War. They don’t GAF about our peaceful protests. Hit them in the pockets or they will not listen. Laborers join a Union today.
That’s a good point. When we do protest they send thugs with automatic rifles to stir shit up and then call the peaceful protesters rioters. They’ve got the script down…
They infiltrate any organization that we form to fight them too. If you stick your head out to unite the classes here and find an audience they cut your head off fast. One way or another.
Lol, I saw the other posts with folks saying that stuff in the third panel. Some of their replies were like yelling at the canary in a coal mine that's warning you of fatal gas pockets.
In the past, the group of Americans more willing to go up against the government, are the same group these days who willingly voted in a fascist regime.
As long as we have our Tiktok, toilet paper & cheap eggs, Americans aren't willing to rock the boat.
It’s more complicated when half the electorate voted for tyranny and chaos. We need some of those folks to be harmed by him and to change their minds…
…also, for all of America’s platitudes about freedom, we’re lazier and worse at free speech and protest than others.

Hey! I have been out on the streets with my voice and my sign. The problem is that half of America (good people) have been brainwashed from dis-information and fallacious propaganda from sources that they have always trusted. There are no ethics in media & journalism anymore. It's deceptive.
There's a bubble missing "why should we stop trump? He saved TikTok!" Can only hope it happens sooner than later. I mean the promise to stop the war in Ukraine. Soon other things will start to happen. Still can imagine more than a few happy, because he saved TikTok. 🤦♂️ I swear we're doomed.
The minute we do Trump is going to declare a national emergency.. also guns, they celebrated rittenhouse. We should be out there but we have to be smart about it.
It hasn’t affected most of America yet. It will. Once the protests start, more will join. Hopefully we escalate it to where it’s affecting everyone and every city.
As an American, I think a lot of us aren't really sure where to look for protests/where to start?? That might sound dumb, but I would love to get out there and do more...
What do you want to do? Your local women's shelter needs help. Get involved. Volunteer. Talk to your neighbor. There are SO many things you can do to help!!
I look at countries like Georgia who have had people protesting for WEEKS, and I just want to know how to get involved and do that here. Like how to spread the word, get people involved, etc.
Right!? Are we really just that apathetic? I'm trying to do everything I can within the confines of my paid position now. I work at a shelter. But I want to do more. Being out on the street isn't an option for me in this cold. I'm feeling inspired to put together a public art piece, though. Thanks!!
I just wish all the anti-lgbtq politicians would have their browser histories exposed. Actually, do it to all politicians. It probably wouldn't changes much, but it would be hilarious to see how many of these folks fetishize the community.
Do you not see yourself in this photo on the bottom right? Anonymous has been as useless as Merrick Garland, now they want to start pointing out the obvious 🙄🥴 Anyway. #TreasonClips
We tried to give you guys the info and you only started talking about it when it was too late. The least you could do is share the #TreasonClips and expose exactly how Trump and Elon get their "instructions" from Putin. There's also the ignored rigged election thing. https://bsky.app/profile/checksandbals.bsky.social/post/3lfux2xho422f
Make sure you go to the protest wearing clothing that isn't colourful, googles (to protect your eyes from capsicum spray), long life milk in your backpack (to help others who have been capsicum sprayed) & some kind of tennis racket (or similar) to 'return' any gas cannisters thrown at the crowd
This follows however many of us are blue dots in red well armed states where speaking against maga is a crime. They will swat you or send the police (who are also magas) to your door, which is terrifying! Worse if you’re re black or your children are interracial and home alone.
Our fear is learned
It’ll take more loss of comfort before action happens. It’s too abstract for most people still, they can ignore it if they don’t listen to the news. Trans people make up less than 1% of the population and yet are the focus of so much news. We need cis buy in and support to force change.
I went to protests on MLK Jr. day and yesterday in SLC, UT and highlighted #usprotests in other cities.
Trump's tactics are meant to keep the light shining on him and no one else. We need to move the spotlight to those fighting. Show people joyously fighting hate.
I am ready too! I think it is going to be up to us to choose the time and place, no one else is stepping up. We need a national strike and protest in the high millions. I am also for boycotting tax day, but I think too many people need their refunds.
You mean collecting followers and stuffing heads in the echo chamber on bsky does nothing? Well... it makes the nazis happy the left is content to just send funny pics.
To be fair the advantage they have is being able to get there within two hours. Both countries are the size of a smallish state in the USA. We have to organize multiple protests in multiple states on the same day. Honestly I don't know how that happens. But leaders really need to step up.
This could begin in key states and spread rapidly nationwide. The issue lies not in the country’s size but in the lack of mobilization from those who should act.
Except I can’t afford to take time off work. Those eggs won’t pay for themselves. And by eggs I mean bills, dependents, and just plain trying to survive another day. I’ll be here for moral support though.
How do we organize? This crap is being shoved down our throats to make us fearful and obedient. People need to understand that our government works for us. We outnumber them, they need to fear US! We can't just sit back and hope someone else does it. We must start NOW.
There’s plenty of balls. What we don’t have is the leadership we need, organization to stand against, or focused goals to run interference. People in positions of power and wealth have disregarded their responsibility to stand against in lieu of survival. But once we are put down, they will be next.
I disagree to an extent. Right now, these are already perilous times and there are too many people normalizing this fascist. So many are acting despondent and downtrodden. I will however agree that we do need leaders to in this fight help focus and mobilize.
You have a point. Right now I am reading On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder. Chapter 1: “Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarians is freely given. In times like these individuals … offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”
Americans are fighting an uphill battle on account of decades of antisocialism and neoliberalism in every facet of society, even down to the physical design of their cities, atomizing it to the point where exponentially more work is required to organize.
And we are such a big country that organizing is hard on a mega scale. The closest big city to me is a mountainous hour drive away. My state capital is 3 hours away. I could protest here, but without huge sweeping nationwide movements, I just look like the local crazy.
That is definitely an issue, too, though it goes deeper. Even in more densely populated areas, you could go to a random suburb, and unless there are a lot of kids living there, the average resident knows few, if any, of their neighbors, because everything is built in a way that promotes isolation.
It varies, but in many cases it can be a question of communal spaces. It's easier to organize if you know the people around you, and car primacy and a lack of public spaces makes that task massively more difficult. In those situations, you only know your neighbors if some outside force prompts it.
For many, the only people they regularly interact with are co-workers and their own household, because they spend the intervening time alone in their car driving to one place or another, and there are a lack of third spaces to meet anyone else.
While we do need to protest its important to point out this is a function of size more than anything. The size of both US and Russian makes mass organizing on the scale or Georgia or South Korea much more difficult

If you can't do much, at least boycott everything you can. Pretend like every dollar you spend goes directly to Trump.
If you need to spend, but used or from a company with morals but still picture that you're giving your money to Trump.

It's always the same people who show up or who organize or who volunteer.
Where is the rest????

The opening stages are the lawfare we are seeing now. The protests will follow.
The 'this is America!' disbelief needs to wear off first. It will.
Not excusing it, just observing why it is.
