Hey @resistlist.bsky.social ! We're not done with Tesla yet (noon demos in San Francisco and Berkeley today).

Consider this a boycott ... when the Kennedy Center is free to uplift "every voice and sing" aka DEI, Black, and trans voices, I'm sure the sold-out shows in support will make up for revenue losses now.

Can't wait to see a 1000-person #FlipOffTrump action happen. (Just putting the thought out there.) In the meantime, if you're visiting #NYC, don't miss this tourist 'attraction'. (New Yorkers are already on it.)

3 sets of protests happened this week across the US, economic resistance is rising in popularity, Canada continues to be feisty and proud - and so much more in this week's Nonviolence News. nonviolencenews.org/2025/02/21/n... #resistance #ResistTrump #NoKings #TeslaTakeDown

Endless war isn’t an accident—it’s policy. Hundreds of military bases keep it running. If we want peace, we start by shutting them down. Join the global action tomorrow! https://buff.ly/4aaOavK #CloseBases

Some good news. Today, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland issued a preliminary nationwide injunction on President Trump’s anti-DEIA executive orders. Not permanent yet, but an important halt and legal action.

I'm really hoping Jonathan Groff will reprise his Hamilton role as King George on #SNL but rewrite the lyrics and wear a yellow wig this time. Anyone else want to see that happen? #NotAKing #NoKings

Absolutely criminal. There is zero excuse for the Justice Department to do this.

Tell a dictator's son not to erase the People Power Revolution that ousted Marcos. He just removed the 1986 nonviolent movement from the official state holidays list. In solidarity with nonviolent activists throughout time, sign this petition to get it reinstated. actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

In the Philippines, the son of the dictator is now president and has now removed the People Power Revolution from the list of official holidays. Tell him not to erase history! actionnetwork.org/petitions/te... #nonviolence #history #teachtruth #peoplepower

Keep joining in the protests and actions. Keep asking people to come with you. We need them to grow from 'huge' to 'immense' to 'unstoppable'.

This does not "Make America Great Again". It makes us weak and shameful. Trump is a big bully and he's turning our people into nasty bullies and their children into little bullies - all of which is killing people. Jocelynn and family, you deserved better. www.commondreams.org/news/jocelyn...

South Koreans reversed a martial law decree in just six hours, showing how ordinary citizens and politicians can take fast action to uphold democracy.

Yay! My friends @wagingnv.bsky.social are talking about #SouthKorea2025 campaign. (Also checkout the 2016 Candlelight Revolution to oust a president over her unelected friend's power. #relevant)

Cool. I like the direction these trends are heading in. Do not shop where you won't be hired, respected, included, safe. Do not shop where those same basics aren't offered to everyone. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
