The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is not to convince the regime they're wrong.

The goal of #NonviolentCivilResistance is to convince the people to work together to make it impossible for the regime to sustain itself.

We aren't nonviolent for the regime. We're nonviolent for each other.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.

So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

🚨 Trump MURDERED an ICU nurse THEN called him a terrorist!

Alex Pretti saved lives for a living!!

Trump repaid this American citizen by pumping 10 BULLETS into him and is now lying about it.

Anyone who supports this brutal lynching should be considered an accomplice and dealt with accordingly. 🚨
