The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

I’m no socialist but this speaks to me

Because DEI is not unconstitutional or to my knowledge, illegal.

“Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” ~The Diary of Anne Frank

“If you’re a law firm being threatened, you might have to say, ‘We might lose some business because we stand for a principle,‘” the Democratic former president said. www.syracuse.com/politics/202...

“Let’s also be real: These tariffs are another tool to advance the authoritarian agenda at home.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

The richest man in the world spent more money than most people will see in a lifetime to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact that his $25M was a drop in the bucket compared to what he spent on other elections is why we must overturn Citizens United.

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

Yes, we deeply fear the irreparable damage you're doing to the country we call home and love dearly, to the people who live, raise families, do work, and dream dreams here. We are incredibly fearful but make no mistake, Donald—we are not afraid of you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/we-the-peo...
