    We need to grow our numbers! The only way we can do that is with continued non-violent organized protest. Violence will only reduce our numbers and suppress our resistance.

    Erica Chenoweth has a very well researched presentation on the success of non-violent resistance overthrowing dictatorships with only 3.5% of the population. I highly recommend it.

    Come out today for the Free America protest! We also have the Good Trouble Lives On protest on July 17th.

        Refusing to walk into a trap set by the dumbest president in the history of the United States is not cowardice. It’s strategy.

            It’s proven to have worked in several dictatorships.

            The alternative is copying the communists in 1939 Germany, inciting small-scale violence (the Reichstag fire), then being persecuted and removed from the resistance. Remember how that story ended?

              What would happen if a significant number of people started cross dressing and using the wrong bathrooms in Florida for example? The point is to break unjust laws, not molotoving the Capitolium. Duh.

              The orange toddler (maybe not him, but his handlers) are very afraid of that kind of lawbreaking because that is turning the tables on their strategy and springing aforementioned trap on them instead. Edit: If they do it, why shouldn’t we?
