THANKS! 💪
I'm adding, stay off of SM sites & apps too. Read, listen to music,visit fam, friends, weather permits go outdoors, for a walk, bike ride drive (gas up in advance) you get it...
These useless protests aren't going to do anything. Sorry to be "that guy" but literally gathering a bunch of people is just a photo op. Need Democrats to push things to the top of the priority list not something that I'll see on Reddit and then it be gone next day.
Man, if our elected officials aren't even doing anything to slow this down, then we are on our own and a "peaceful protest" isn't going to do anything.
If you want to fight back, you actually have to fight back as a country.
Yea now isn't the time for widespread pushback. Unfortunately the neoliberals who are going to this thing to sing top tracks of "Hamilton" need to understand that their elected leaders are just republicans.
Too many people still think a light pushback is all this needs.
This. None of that is going to help again I saw that video where the women in other countries were doing power poses and so many people being like I love this!
Only for that to fall to the wayside and American women still getting fucked over by old white men here. Did nothing but slap in the face.
Alright bro. I guess keep praying your dem leaders actually grow a backbone 🤷 like what are you suggesting other than waiting for our leaders to do something about it?
And it's not already headed that way? I mean last I checked 2 weeks ago it was the start. I mean if you wanna go shed blood and think protestors vs armed police is going to be what we need then lead the charge!
Just saying more of a scholastic approach is better than what I personally think isn't.
Yes, cause the saying famously went "Don't speak to power". We're losing our freedoms while you want to talk shit online. I, for one, plan to fight for them.
You seem like the kind of person that would have given up their neighbor in 1939.
Lol that's based on the fact I say a moreso legal background/strategy vs pitch forks? Not in 33 buddy, in 2025. If you believe that you are fighting for your rights in a way that fits you, do so but know that without a law or something to keep it in place it's moot.
In case you haven't noticed, we don't have any laws anymore. We have an unelected goon who just took our treasury payment system hostage. Trump is deporting American citizens to El Salvador. If you're under the delusion we still have laws, you need to catch up.
Case in point Luigi. Think he was insanely justified in his actions. But unfortunately nothing changed from that either. Healthcare didn't say, "maybe we are the bad guys here" it was onto the next thing.
You in 1933: “Welp, I mean they already won who’s going to stop them now, they even released the brown shirts, why bother trying to fight back now?” You in 1946: “Oh my God, I can’t believe no one fought back.”
And trust I'm the most LIBERAL fucker you will ever meet. But also know the game and know that without the change we need from the top what exactly are they protesting? End goal being for Trump and Musk to say, "you're right. I resign as president"
Mmhmmm yeah back in the day and look what happened the second RVB passed....
Up against a whole other beast here. You don't have to agree with me at all and more power to those that use their freedoms and platforms but without a lawv in place, a supreme Court that isn't compromised we're fucked.
If you wanna believe all you can do it make a phone call that’s your freedom, but you are wrong. You are giving up your own agency and encouraging others to do that same. We need to get LOUDER and speak with one voice. I hope you change your mind and choose to stand up for yourself on February 5.
Bernie is not discouraging anyone from protesting. Protesting IS a photo op. It’s bad press for whatever the topic is that is being protested. The visual of all those people in the streets pressures representative to act, and it forces press to spread the word.
by being too quiet, we have allowed our country to shift So far to the right that what we are calling “right” is fascism, what we are calling “left” is moderate conservatism, and what we call “progressive” is just left by everyone else’s standards..
Marches are icebergs - the protest itself is just a small part of an enormous movement by a massive coalition.
Protests are also where you network with activists, sign petitions, meet local officials and orgs that are fighting, and learn about upcoming opportunities.
Fighting with my feelings over logic/law is a recipe for a whole lot of disappointment and further feeling as though our voice doesn't matter. Already doesn't but you get the point.
Or we have leadership that also filibusters pushes bills etc. Again no Republican is going to see a million people outside and say, y'know what they're right! I'm going to vote for empathy and humankind.
Who is organising this? What groups are involved? Be very careful that this is not just bait to cause an illegal activity to give ‘them’ and excuse to over react
The one for NC states that there are permits for protesting from 12-4. Also says they're working with local law enforcement to make sure things stay peaceful. They also reiterate multiple times that this is a PEACEFUL protest/march. No weapons, follow the rules and laws.
What's laughable is your naivety. You don't seem to realize that Trump wants protests to turn violent so he can declare martial law. And no one will be able to stop him.
All it will take is for a few idiots to start breaking windows, and you can kiss our civil rights goodbye.
Did I say break windows? You literally are scared of saying or doing anything, instead you sit here and tell others what to do. You can do as you choose. Stay here, block people you don't like and hope for the best ok? Or maybe, just maybe, stand up for what is right. Again, you are laughable
I ran out of space before so this would be 2nd comment. Why did you assume I would be violent? Did you read my profile and say "union thug"? I'm truly curious.
I will, no worries there. Look, read what people write, don't assume and don't be scared. You are also assuming, like a trumpian, that this will become a violent protest, we are not MAGA. This is to show that we the people will not sit by silently, we will not be silenced. Be curious, not judgmental
OMGOSH! ⚘ I'M CRYING HERE! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I wish I could hug you. 💎
& BTW, It went very well today 💪 ☮ No foul or harm as far as I know 🙌 GAWD I ❤CSNY.
U R WONDERFUL 😊
Authoritarians nowadays just ignore peaceful protests and continue to dismantle democracy.
It is still requires a peaceful protest to start interaction with the government, but just in case.

Not everyone can do it. That’s fine. We understand.
However, if everyone can plan not to shop that day by planning ahead…
💙🙌
Just do what you can and #SHUTDOWN on March 15, 2025.
Beware the Ides of March.

Enough with theatrics.
If you want to fight back, you actually have to fight back as a country.
The Dems certainly aren't going to do anything if all the only pressure they receive comes from posters on bluesky
Too many people still think a light pushback is all this needs.
Only for that to fall to the wayside and American women still getting fucked over by old white men here. Did nothing but slap in the face.
Change needs to happen with those that can enact it.
More power to you if you want to go but need Democrats to be putting this shit at every meeting until it's changed. I can't do shit with no laws
That movie Civil War might be a reality but again need Democrats to get up and stop with the nice guy shit
Otherwise continue to protect your immediate community and loved ones as best you can.
Wait until neoliberals and Trump voters finally feel the pain that he and his enablers bring
Nothing will change unless we are willing to change the DNC, people aren't yet
Just saying more of a scholastic approach is better than what I personally think isn't.

Luigi + reform = change if that happened.
that did not and he is no longer in the news
Big difference between 1933 and now my guy.
Again more of a pen is mightier than the sword person and that's what we're looking at here.
If that were the case all the women that marched for reproductive rights would have those not being taken away.
I feel like Bernie always has been the one I see screaming
Nah. But Congress codifying some shit. Yes.
Up against a whole other beast here. You don't have to agree with me at all and more power to those that use their freedoms and platforms but without a lawv in place, a supreme Court that isn't compromised we're fucked.
Remember Pelosi ripping up that paper behind Pence? Shit like that or whitekanda are what I'm talking about.

Why? They get paid regardless of whatever.
Like celebrity endorsements don't do shit.
All it will take is for a few idiots to start breaking windows, and you can kiss our civil rights goodbye.
Grow up.
Good luck stopping anything while under martial law.
