These are the protests you go to if you’re just getting started or if you haven’t protested in donkey years or if you’ve got middle-graders or older coming with you.
Go during the day, wear sunscreen and a hat, carry water, carry masks, and if things feel hinky, fade. It’s all good.

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

If you have an unread copy of Let This Radicalize You lying around, this would be an excellent time to read Chapter 6: “Violence” in Social Movements. It's also a good time to share that chapter with others.

You guys, THIS!!!
If you can’t physically protest today, then be sure to amplify and share protest videos online, or drive past protesters and honk to show your support if you can!
We need to flood the internet with protest footage, of both big and small events.
We can’t count on the media to cover it.

The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

"You might have to suffer a bit" is the MAGA version of "Let them eat cake."
When a politician tells you it's your duty to sacrifice for THEIR principles, it's time to start building guillotines.

The only takeaway from last night's SOTU speech that actually matters so far as our future is concerned is that only ONE democrat was removed from the chamber for standing up to Trump's bullshit. Only one old democrat with a cane and no fucks left for fascism.
It should have been ALL of them.

The Amazon Boycott.
Think of the Amazon boycott as training for far greater sacrifices that may be required of us in the near future.
It begins tomorrow. This is a first step to taking our country back in the face of a brazen, oligarch supported coup.
