I'm absenting myself from the US and taking a Caribbean vacation to not even look at it

malcolmnance.bsky.social•106 days ago

This is the stuff right here.

catomama.bsky.social•97 days ago

I'm going to be in Cuba with a drink in my hand, sitting my ass on the beach.

Seems to me that all avenues and actions are welcome in a crisis

laurendownsouth.bsky.social•106 days ago

There is no reason to give the right an excuse for violence and knowing that they can interfere with a resistance march is exactly the sort of thing they are salivating for.

againstfacists.bsky.social•86 days ago

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.

laurendownsouth.bsky.social•85 days ago

Do you remember January 6th when they attacked the capital? They planned to blame all of that on the left. And had left leaning protesters been there they would have been even more violent than they were.

againstfacists.bsky.social•85 days ago

Of course I do. I also remember the 60's.

laurendownsouth.bsky.social•78 days ago

Me too! But they never attacked the US capital in the 60s.

againstfacists.bsky.social•78 days ago

If the protesters had stayed away in the 60s we would not have civil rights.

catomama.bsky.social•97 days ago

Exactly.

fflstone.bsky.social•106 days ago

Are the organizers still excluding Jewish people from their intersectionality?

janarchy.bsky.social•106 days ago

Probably.

topdowndriver.bsky.social•104 days ago

Guys, we don’t need to magnify this issue. Biden spent $182 on his inauguration in 2021

smbdemocracy.bsky.social•106 days ago

Agree!

sterlingwright.bsky.social•81 days ago

Stop spending except for the barest of essentials. Keep this up until this regime is tamed or gone. Economies win and lose wars. Opt to seize your power rather than purchasing another cheap, throw-away something with no long-term value. In a capitalist society, consumers have ALL the power. Use it!

itsonlylove.bsky.social•106 days ago

Definitely worried about violence that weekend, 😬

markeureyecko.bsky.social•106 days ago

Yep, showing up even in protest is like a line of coke for the MAGA's.

kemcee.bsky.social•80 days ago

The best protests are done by withholding money. That’s the only way anything changes because our government cares about money much more than it does people.

mayhemmayhap.bsky.social•106 days ago

Try pulling
"The Desolation Of Trump"
instead - reserve your spots online AND don't show up.
The will just be an orange reptile on a pile of cheap seats (or a virtual ton of bitcoin...)
squawking at the empty plaza about the numbers, such numbers...

sanitycheck99.bsky.social•106 days ago

The best protest would have been for Trump to get soundly beaten at the polls, but we’re past that… and I still feel sick. Idiots in this country. Total idiots.

xsxbxwx.bsky.social•106 days ago

Agree, but at some point I would love to see us do a silent parade all in white like this NAACP protest https://www.yesmagazine.org/democracy/2017/07/28/100-years-ago-black-people-marched-down-5th-avenue-to-declare-that-black-lives-matter

jfletcher.bsky.social•104 days ago

Agreed. Trump loves a fight, but he HATES being ignored. Wish the media would completely ignore the inauguration. Maybe they could spend the day reporting on the price of eggs, or unimportant stories as if it were a slow news day.

gardenthymeherbs.bsky.social•105 days ago

Well what should we do Mr nance?

jfletcher.bsky.social•104 days ago

He reposted this earlier as to how we should protest.

chorongomon.bsky.social•97 days ago

Yes our power is in our capacity to create and when we take that power back for ourselves? Well well well...

adamsith.bsky.social•97 days ago

Why not protest bigly 2 days BEFORE Mango Mussolini can sic the dogs on you?

gferro65.bsky.social•106 days ago

Talk about other things. It lightens the soul.

lupogato.bsky.social•106 days ago

@malcolmnance.bsky.social
Read Malcolm’s Substack on FAFO. Go dark the week of the inauguration.

realroffs.bsky.social•106 days ago

It just feeds them.

aubreyel1.bsky.social•106 days ago

The Struggle Continues! Mr. @malcolmnance.bsky.social.

lvonbluesky.bsky.social•106 days ago

Yup, giving that week no oxygen. Will be very busy in some other way.

morganarae.bsky.social•106 days ago

It's another pro-Hamas grift march.

chemistrenegade.bsky.social•106 days ago

claynotmarble.bsky.social•106 days ago

AND by poking the bear.

This is for you, @realdomaldtrump.bsky.social

dawgfanatic.bsky.social•106 days ago

The fact that this Country is going to administer an “oath” to a guy who Literally violated that same oath 4 years ago, and act like it is perfectly normal is some fucked up shit.

stevebrant.bsky.social•102 days ago

It’s a violation of the Constitution to give the oath of office to an adjudicated insurrectionist. The Colorado Supreme Court found Trump to be an insurrectionist. United States Supreme Court did not invalidate that decision. Follow @jessicadenson07.bsky.social

resistance4ever.bsky.social•102 days ago

💯💯💯 I cannot believe this is happening. I feel like my nation betrayed me

demproud.bsky.social•80 days ago

Me thinks the rich currying favor to donald and billionaire owned mainstream media have forgotten. And about a third of the citizenry. These stories can make us feel like we’re in the minority - we’re not.

There’s more of us.

workcompcontractor.bsky.social•106 days ago

I'm with Morgan. We already tried it your way.

eaglesong.bsky.social•106 days ago

Thanks for this. Will repost. Will Resist Fascism!!!

b0ltme.bsky.social•105 days ago

I thought January 6th was a much better day for that, a peaceful non-violent protest at the Capitol. But I know the magas would wreck it. 👊🏼

stevebrant.bsky.social•102 days ago

I agree! Starve Trump and mainstream media of the attention / clicks they crave! @jayrosen.bsky.social @sulliview.bsky.social #BoycotTheInauguration

auntjacqui.bsky.social•106 days ago

Nope. This 92 percenter is resting until the next election.

ontja.bsky.social•100 days ago

Do you all really want to hurt tfg's feelings?

damblasted.bsky.social•106 days ago

I agree! Like hormonal teenagers, they want the attention and the fight so that they can feel justified in the next set of poor choices they are about to make. And of course, if things really go wrong…and they will, it’s your fault. The best response is “planned ignoring” and I shall.

cfk24.bsky.social•106 days ago

I dunno storming the capitol worked out pretty well for the Nazis

georgiegetsit.bsky.social•106 days ago

I approve of this message.

marquitaherald.bsky.social•106 days ago

I agree - I’m not watching it or sacrificing a minute of energy to the inevitable tidal wave of social media posts highlighting every minute of it.

tripno6.bsky.social•106 days ago

It’s two days before inauguration. He won’t have his hands on law enforcement levers. My sis and I will go to DC from Chicago and Seattle, because.

jfletcher.bsky.social•104 days ago

Better leave those phones at home. And if there is violence then Trump will feed off it for a long time to come.

tripno6.bsky.social•103 days ago

The only potential violence might be from his followers. I’m not afraid to carry my phone, nor afraid of him.

jfletcher.bsky.social•103 days ago

You don’t know what everyone on the left will do. But I’m more concerned about giving those on the right the opportunity to cause trouble during protests and try and make it look like the left did it. And Trump will back them up.

kelliawise.bsky.social•106 days ago

Don’t give him an excuse to declare martial law. Don’t give maga an excuse for violence. Stay home. Watch Star Trek or whatever makes you happy.

cielwilliams.bsky.social•106 days ago

When I ask myself what matters most to them, the answer is always money. They don't give a fck about protesters. Hit em where it hurts. Spend the least amount of money you can and tank the stock market.

b0ltme.bsky.social•105 days ago

Tank the stock market? Is that like a conceptual thing for you, the stock market? Because probably more than 100 million Americans have their retirement savings in the stock market that you want to tank.

dwaynenealatx.bsky.social•97 days ago

And on my bday too.🤩

extwittersara.bsky.social•106 days ago

Not even in TV.

josiploncaric.bsky.social•106 days ago

Good point. Futile protests merely waste energy & confirm irrelevance. Absence says more. Go read a book, move your life forward, and diminish the orange menace.

jfletcher.bsky.social•104 days ago

Yes, read a book on resisting or on our democracy and ready yourself for the next four years.

resistance4ever.bsky.social•102 days ago

I know what you mean but we have to show that we will not go silently into the night as we lose our right and he rapes this country.

chorongomon.bsky.social•97 days ago

I think we do this by destroying the gears of the oligarchy. Strikes, boycotts. Withhold our minds and hearts and hands, turn our efforts to creating our alternative, and do it LOUDLY, but removed from their games

resistance4ever.bsky.social•97 days ago

I’m ready and willing! I completely agree with you 💙

chorongomon.bsky.social•97 days ago

resistance4ever.bsky.social•97 days ago

dianajane.bsky.social•106 days ago

I feel like the only safe way to protest would be silent and seated. That would make it clear that the crowd was not threatening. But you know there would be outside agitators.
