I chipped in a some today to help and no one expects you to do it all yourself...but we need to be in the streets April 5, April 6, April 7, April 8, etc. etc.
Honestly, it needs to happen now and WTH is wrong with the elected Democrats? Why are they all being complicit? I feel like they are in this together with the Fascist Republicans.
I think I heard it phrased best as “chuck is longing for gov of old and the old rules”. AOC, Jasmine, Kelly and al green are that is no longer OUR REALITY and the Dems like Chuck are uncomfortable with being uncomfortable. Too fucking bad. They have oust him or EVERY dem will lose. Independents only
I can't wait!!! I'm so excited to participate. I live in a rural area, but I know I can get dozens of people to travel to our nearest March. It's time for us all to FIGHT FOR OUR DEMOCRACY!!!
We want to provide all the resources needed to make this mobilization as big and impactful as possible, but we can't do that without your help. From recruitment tools to training calls and promotional materials, we're counting on grassroots donors to help fund this event. Please pitch in if you can.
Saw Leah Greenberg on TV this morning and she was so inspiring I contributed. I'm on Social Security and don't have a lot to give but I won't even have that if we let Trusk win. I also contributed to the 3 Democrats who are running in special elections. We'll soon have a 4th for Grijalva's seat.
We need buses from every state because everyone driving wouldn’t be as efficient.
During FP-Obama campaign I rode on many buses or carpools every weekend, to canvass.
This is one weekend day.
We can do this! 🚌 🪧

I liked that one episode of Rachel Maddow where she explored the #GazaHolocaust as a genocide, and then advised Harris to split with Netanyahu and court the Muslim vote to win in 2024
There were a million protesters in Belgrade, which was not an exaggeration. I'm reasonably familiar with the city, and the extent of that crowd was breathtaking.
Some student protesters 'cycled' from the other side of the country.
A population 6 million - turned out a million protesters!
Overwhelm them even if you and a few create small protests anywhere and everywhere. Maybe some will be creative in interesting DDoS ways? swatting started as a game... Right?
We need to all show up at the Capitol and National Mall, in full force, like in Hungary and Serbia. Organize that, instead. We need to coordinate and execute a unified vision with focus & precision like the J6ers did, not disperse our people power here and there. Without its heads the hydra falls.
⚡️ THE BIG ONE? I’ve been waiting for “the big protest” to happen. We need to build on all the great rallies that are *already* happening. Check out “Hands Off” events on Saturday, April 5 in DC and across the US. https://handsoff2025.com/
You need to go to one place. Handfuls of protesters spread around the country are meaningless, they have shown that so far. Mass gatherings have proven to be the most potent demonstrations.
They aren’t meaningless - they are picking up traction, getting people engaged, and keep pressure on conservatives. But I agree - build upon that momentum and call everyone to DC (on a Saturday/holiday preferably so more people can realistically make it).
Also, coverage of the protests and their impact are being suppressed. Reps are running scared from their constituents, including MAGA that voted for them and are feeling the pinch. Progress is being made one tiny inch at a time, but it was always going to be a long fight. There is no overnight fix.
My concern is trump consolidating his position. He’s already stripped officials across the board and replaced them with loyalists and now he’s ignoring the courts. Congress won’t do anything.
That’s everyone’s concern that isn’t a Trump/Musk sycophant. Even if it is too late, it doesn’t change what we must do. Nihilism is useless either way.
Thanks, Rachel! You’re valiant in exposing the horrors of the rumpT regime and what we can do to STAND UP FOR DEMOCRACY!!!

See everyone Apr 5 at the March organized by Indivisible!!!
We have to get behind INDIVISIBLE right now! I’m so excited about this org. I will do everything I can possibly do to support them. I’m ready to donate! And I only make $20/hour- if I can pitch in, I hope you will consider supporting them in some way. Thank you, Indivisible! Let’s go save the world!
There’s this thing called “People Power” in the Philippines and they used it twice to oust a sitting dictator and sitting president. It can be done! Remember, there’s literally millions of us and a few of them. Let’s drive Trump, Musk and their MAGA ilk to exile in Russia since they love it so much!
It lasted 3days?? That’s it? Like the google said it was Feb 22-25 that was the same year?? Sorry I’m just floored. That is doable! I think if we can show our power that they will fear us more than him. Cause they only respect $ and power. Let’s fuck with more of the billionaire $$ too!!!
Yeah, technically, this needs to be a sustained thing until we get rid of them. But it does take a lot of manpower and resources to keep people in the rallies, hydrated, fed and maybe housed. I hope more chip in for this!
Have you anyone that was there on the ground during the movement there ? I’m curious what the infrastructure for lack of better word was. Like was it constant so we in shifts? Where main pressure DC? My brain is going a mile a min. I do think this is the ONLY way for us.
Not yet, but I did chip in only coz something like this is very hard to even comprehend and start if they don’t have any support. I would love to start this myself but I don’t have enough energy, resources or clout. 🥵
Me either. But we can be boots on the ground. I’m doing research on gov run in 26 in Ala. it’s red red here but we are hurting. So I’m gonna try to flip this state. I’m just me. No $. But I’m loud and I have passion. We need every voice at every level. Chipping in is heroic in itself 💙

Cannot wait to go to protest #4!

I’m in Australia and can’t help from here so it’s quite frustrating.
I’m worried it will be too late.
