We can certainly do more than 11 million people!

kcboogieshoes.bsky.social•25 days ago

I fear we’re at the point of no return. We handed him the reigns for some evil crazy reason and now we’re along for the ride. I don’t see any evidence this man is swayable. I mean I’m willing to try anything but I think the balance of power is not in our favor.

rlangford2.bsky.social•25 days ago

ok now we are getting somewhere, the marches should be focused.

cervantes3.bsky.social•25 days ago

11.5 million resisters needed, asap!

enlightennomad.bsky.social•25 days ago

Everyone is feeling sick friday and calling off Pass it along

mainekat.bsky.social•25 days ago

Democracy is dying fast thanks to the orange cancer.

mousemedium.bsky.social•25 days ago

EXACTLY and we can do this. We are the last line of defense.

If 74 million people voted against Trump, I think we can accomplish 3.5%
LFG🔥🔥🔥

Yes the people need to rise but it's going to be tough in the US when they don't even bother to vote

ninjazz636.bsky.social•25 days ago

They will have to fight or they will starve.

astucieuse.bsky.social•25 days ago

That's what is going to take, famine, war, losing their social security, Medicaid, food stamps to fight. However, trump will send the military, the cops and militias after the protesters and declare martial law. He has nothing to lose, everything to gain

nyflowerchild.bsky.social•24 days ago

Excellent but sad comment

jimbobvanl.bsky.social•25 days ago

Thank you, Malcolm, Sir! This needs to happen here, especially considering the alternatives if we fail to act.

kymme9360.bsky.social•24 days ago

First demand is impeach and arrest Felon47! Second demand is reinstate General Austin over the military! Third, remove foreign influences from government namely Musk rat! Fourth, put FEMA back in place and send them to California to assist the California wildfire victims. Then, we go from there!

evergreen1905.bsky.social•25 days ago

Yes! It's 11.5 million people. Yes. It feels impossible but it's not. We can do this.

In the 60s and 70s we marched for Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, Voting Rights and against the Vietnam war. Yes, I was a bleeding heart liberal hippie and we were: “We The People” and we made our government officials listen to us. I do not understand why MAGA gives all authority to a convicted felon!

unityforever.bsky.social•25 days ago

I really think it’s time to mobilize and take back America, and Trump is destroying everything that you worked hard for him. And again it would also the affect the Republicans and the evangelical Christians. How dumb do you have to be to voted this tyrant in?

miriam2626.bsky.social•25 days ago

Cancelling student loans might motivate the college kids.

megaholt.medsky.social•25 days ago

It would likely also motivate millennials.

authormarkmiller.bsky.social•25 days ago

Biden did that. They didn't show up to the polls to keep it. The student loans are all coming back now.

angsty61.bsky.social•25 days ago

Or…make it impossible for those who are NOT wealthy to attend college!!

areyoukiddingme1.bsky.social•25 days ago

I am ready.

blankmw.bsky.social•25 days ago

I am all in! Let's get moving on this! I am in Manhattan. Anyone else here ready to take to the streets? It's WAY past time.

nyflowerchild.bsky.social•24 days ago

Who Malcolm? where is this person to mobilize millions of Americans? People in the US don't understand that they are very privileged and won't act until it's too late

authormarkmiller.bsky.social•25 days ago

March 15 ok with everyone?

ccutrona.bsky.social•25 days ago

Crushing the oligarchy would be a good broad topic. Ending Citizens United. Corporations are not The People. Sign me up ✌️❤️🇺🇸

drpaulvasquez.bsky.social•25 days ago

Historical footnote: President Truman integrated the US military because A. Philip Randolph, who was mentioned in the essay, threatened to encourage Black Americans to not comply with a post WWII peacetime draft for a segregated force. 💪🇺🇲⚖️

anthonyballios.bsky.social•24 days ago

How do we initiate the process to mobilize this way globally? Eradicate all tyrants and bring the power back to the people where it belongs.

nyflowerchild.bsky.social•24 days ago

Exactly my thought. There is no leadership in the Dem party who wants to organize a resistance or protest.

eddie-kas.bsky.social•25 days ago

This way and method of thinking makes sense. It brings us together; its message gives hope. Something of a plan we are really needing now.

dsolomonesq.bsky.social•25 days ago

I have known this for decades, although in my opinion the threshold for the US is more like 2%. First step: Stop wishing for Robin Hood to save us, and stop trying to get Congressional Dems to do something. There won’t be a D-Day this time. We are all we’ve got.

dsolomonesq.bsky.social•25 days ago

And stop thinking small or pre-compromising. We don’t need to “reform” the Electoral College or tweak the tax code. We need direct popular vote and a 90% tax on billionaire incomes.

stevied3.bsky.social•24 days ago

I was just thinking about which issue would be so inclusive. Besides the repeal of Civil Rights, the Class war. Luigi isn’t the leader obviously, but the universal support for him from people of both parties was incredible. This is the Billionaires verse everyone else. The tax cuts are for the 5%.

stevied3.bsky.social•24 days ago

This can be done. He is going so fast peoples heads are spinning but soon a clear
Issue or 2 will emerge as one that everyone can stand behind. It can’t be a
Latino rally, or Trans, or Environmental, it has to be all combined working together. I firmly believe this will
Happen.

zacster911.bsky.social•25 days ago

Finally somebody making sense.

generalmonkey.bsky.social•25 days ago

We need a comprehensive list of demands that include not just needed first-order societal changes but also preventative measures against the circumstances that have led to this. We need well-defined economic, judicial, and political reforms popular enough compel participation. #PeoplesConvention

theoutpost.bsky.social•25 days ago

There are enough American BlueSky users to meet that threshold a few times over. That 3.5% of population mark bears out with some work I did with community involvement in strategic planning in the 80s and 90s. Interesting.

merisfrancie.bsky.social•25 days ago

Thank Gd for you Malcolm. We are so educated by your posts but we need to get you and others who are fact driven to talk on News Nation. Or even Fox! If we don’t start getting our perspective heard by republicans and magas there’s little hope. PLEASE CONSIDER this request. Xox
