🔥🔥🔥🔥 I made this just for you @bluesky in a New York minute (although I wish you’d lengthen that) @riseandresist.bsky.social protest at a Manhattan Tesla showroom. YOU CAN DO THIS! Some of us were 80! #GetMuskOutOfTheWhiteHouse

You can have a protest on a weekday, weekend, day, or night. Your protest can have a permit or no permit. Be quiet or loud. It can be 1 person or 1 million people. It can be a few hours or months. Whatever you do just show up and use hashtag #3E to share your images, video, voices, calls to action.

If you aren’t here to act, don’t expect to be heard.

To be clear, “Protests are useless” and “there is no point” commenters / trolls will be muted, repeated instigators will be blocked. 0 tolerance for bike shedding and concern trolling.

Regarding violence vs nonviolence, the right to peacefully protest is enshrined in the human rights charter. All protest should be nonviolent for as long as it is permitted to be by the state or oligarchy. That said, respect each others right to peacefully assemble; know when to withdraw or defend.

Remember when team USA beat the Soviets in the 80s? Canada just had that moment and the US were the Soviets this time. Congratulations Canada 🍁

End impunity End autogenocide End oligarchy #3E

We cannot go back to a time where people didn't have chronic diseases because they didn't REACH middle age. That is not acceptable for America. That is not acceptable for our health care system & that's not acceptable for our government. Get vaccinated. Support science. Pass it on.

Kamala Harris: You inspired us in 2024. If Vice President Harris inspired YOU like she inspired 74,749,891 Americans, it's worth a solid "all the way re-post!"

Ending birthright citizenship, defining gender as a binary, ending federal DEI programs, pardoning J6 insurrectionists, rescinding Title IX, withdrawing from the Paris Accords... Trump lives up to being a dictator on Day 1. Who thinks it's gonna stop there? www.npr.org/2025/01/20/g...

I never want to hear that the GOP is the party of law & order again… ever.

Instead of watching the Inauguration, I did something good to support the LGBTQ community. I just made a $50.00 donation to The Rainbow Youth Project. Please follow @rainbowyouth.bsky.social and consider a donation. The LGBTQ community needs your support, especially after today’s Inauguration.

Stephen Miller is a descendant of asylum seekers who fled anti-semitic violence. Miller is the great-grandson of a Jewish immigrant who fled the poverty and pogroms of the Russian Empire in the early 1900s. Miller, a Jew, says that mass deportations will be Trump's first priority.

The leader of the party of law and order pardoned 1500 dangerous criminals today. 😐

Green chile isn't readily available nationwide, but in the areas where it is readily available, it is a MUST on burgers. #lunch #NewMexico

Just in case people don’t fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump’s way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him

If I ever made any comments about hiding people in my house, I'd like to remind y'all that I am a liar. I make up a lot of stuff, hallucinations because of a lot drugs.

🤷🏻

There are a lot of busy lawyers out there. Trump doesn't just issue an EO & that's it. There will be challenges, some of them lengthy, over legality & constitutionality. The Supreme Court gave him immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts, not omnipotence.

In case you missed it, American Nazis had no difficulty whatsoever understanding what Elon Musk was doing

Kamala Harris just arrived back in Los Angeles. She plans to distribute food to wildfire victims and meet with first responders. Governor Harris has a nice ring to it. Welcome home.

Four years ago, officers of the law stood their ground to protect Members of Congress and staff as violent insurrectionists stormed the Capitol. These brave officers were beaten, crushed, bear sprayed, maced, and left to defend democracy with their bare hands.

January 6 defendants and convicts are now being released. First, Matthew and Andrew Valentin. They pled guilty to multiple felonies in September 2024. Among other crimes, they both assaulted law enforcement officers by using pepper spray and using a chair to strike them.

Bases covered I guess.

Hey, Cuban-Americans in Miami who voted for Trump — this one’s for you!

Good time for MAGAts to get familiar with this.

Gayle King said: Where are the Black and brown folks? And people on the right are losing their shit. Get used to it, Gayle! They think inviting Black folks is DEI, so—CANCELED!

It's gonna be 4 years of insufferable idiots who know nothing about maternal/fetal medicine, embryology and gender identity. Add in the anti-vax shit and we are all fucked. Better gear up kids because this is all of us.

I would be more inclined to give Elon the benefit of the doubt over the Sieg Heil salute if he hadn't just endorsed the closest thing Germany has today to the Nazi party

Trump just removed the US from the World Health Organization while we’re seeing increased concern over bird flu. Congratulations America! You elected an absolute moron.

Fanone: The Republican party owns a monopoly on hypocrisy when it comes to their supposed support of law enforcement because tonight the leader of the Republican party pardoned hundreds of violent cop assaulters.

There is so much doom and gloom on that side of the fence that I’m gonna stay away from this. It tells on all of our psyches and I should know better. It’s time to go back to food and baking porn Goodnight y’all.

Something fitting about all of this being relegated to being indoors. It feels so claustrophobic and also like a funeral

Trump just got sworn in as the 47th president, but Gen Z has something to say about it. Don’t despair. Don’t look away. Take action.

Trump will be taking over…but remember folks, NEVER sit silent when you see things being done that are wrong. If you do….you will have helped create a lower standard. Continue to be vocal.

Whatever happens to my family, know this: No pardons were offered or discussed. I cannot begin to describe the level of betrayal and hurt I feel.

I was crushed that MLK Day landed on Inauguration Day. Now I know that it is a gift. Dr. Martin Luther King is a brilliant light on this profoundly dark day. He illuminates our path forward with hope, as we embrace his teachings of love, diversity, & unity. He fuels our collective strength.
