Nonviolent Resistance Action Plan
“Proletariat = Real Patriot”
Core Principle
Patriotism = protecting neighbors + defending constitutional democracy + refusing unjust authority.
Not spectacle.
Not rage.
Not destruction.
But organized, visible, lawful (or conscience-justified) civic pressure.

Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible

Do it!
BREAKING: A federal judge reportedly wants to begin fining Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche $10,000 daily until they stop "flagrantly disregarding the unambiguous legal mandate to uncensor the names of Epstein's accomplices in his decades of sex-trafficking, torture, and murder."

Do it!
The Epstein scandal is far more than pedophilia. It is the sexual abuse of children, used for blackmail to achieve political advantage & financial gain by elites.
Names in Epstein’s files may be guilty of sexual misconduct & blackmail to gain power.
Interestingly Putin’s name appears frequently.

Nearly every statement Trump makes is "contrary to the Constitution"
FLAG: Trump said today that Republicans should nationalize elections — continuing to double down on his 2020 election lies.
The suggestion runs contrary to the Constitution's delegation of election administration to state governments.

The Dems need to make the following promise between now & the midterms:
1) Impeach Pedofelon Trump for treason
2) Release the Epstein files
3) Arrest Noem for her weaponization of ICE against The People, &
4) Unpack & expand the Supreme Crt
Any Dem who says that is too “extreme” should step aside.

Donald Trump has been a POTUS for a whole year longer than Joe Biden, and he still hasn’t fixed the economy, made life affordable, or been arrested for his role in the Epstein files.

What was Donald Trump doing in February 2016 where he could use this information to advance his own cause???
Epstein encouraging someone named Bob to do "piece on transgender in the bio world" in February 2016.
Looking more and more like the "biological" framework fascists and terfs use had its genesis around this time at Epstein's behest.
