YouTube video by Brian Tyler Cohen Americans protest Trump ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY

This is a great No Kings 2.0 compilation from Brian Tyler Cohen

I am ready for No Kings.

Do you think that your healthcare costs are too high? DJT and Republicans in the House and Senate think that they are not high enough. In fact, Republicans feel so strongly about it that they would rather shut down the government than negotiate

Nonviolent resistance deprives the Trump regime of what they want.

Here's a thought. Instead of October 14, which is super close to Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples Day, let's make Charlie Kirk day the 2nd Tuesday of November.

YouTube video by LiveNOW from FOX Trump says he's designating antifa as terrorist organization | LiveNOW from FOX

Here is video of Trump declaring "Antifa" a "terrorist organization." In other words, if you are against Fascism, you are against Trump. He is basically admitting that he is a "dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism..." youtu.be/psSV-oHTTD0?...

Ironically the last good Republican president was a big time Antifa leader.

I need a break. I will be back when. CK is no longer trending. He is divisive even in death.

I propose that we flood our social media platforms with messages of love, compassion, and empathy. Starting right here, right now. Post your stories and memes of love and kindness in the comments below. (Negative or hateful comments will be deleted.)

#EmpathyAndCompassion #PayItForward

I believe that compassion and empathy will ultimately win, but we must stay the course. We must unite.

#EmpathyAndCompassion #PayItForward

Thank God the killer revealed himself and he wasn't one of us.
This should serve as a reminder of why the resistance HAS to remain peaceful. Their weapons are fear and hate. Our weapons are compassion and empathy.

#EmpathyAndCompassion #PayItForward

An unknown shooter unalived a far-right influencer. The people on the far right blamed the left and called for civil war. Meanwhile, leaders on the left told us that despite our deep philosophical and political differences, "There is no place for violence in America."

#EmpathyAndCompassion

Who thinks that Lisa Murkowski was threatened with more than just being primaried? She's from Alaska. She knows she will be primaried no matter what.

“No! Mis hijos estan en La escuela! (My kids are in school!) Por favor!”

Tennessee’s @davidwontshutup.bsky.social on a very difficult video to watch of ICE grabbing a mother outside immigration court in Texas.

Why isn't #ImpeachAndRemove a trending topic. Or how about #CongressDoYourJob

Hey, #CongressDoYourJob #ImpeachAndRemove
Hey, everyone else, #ProtestCongress on the 19th.

The protests on April 19 should not be an exact repeat of April 5. How about finding ways to remind Congress to do its job. #DoYourJob #Impeach

How to remove a stubborn orange stain:
1. If the stain remover you have isn’t working, you let everyone know that the stain remover isn’t doing its job.
2. Then you replace the ineffective stain remover with one that WILL work for you.

Thank you for that.

I did a quick search for pro-democracy groups in northern IN. I found Michiana Alliance for Democracy. I found an email address and a FB page, but no URL.

See my other comments of other actions that I think would be more effective than more mass protests. #Boycott big corporations, donate to organizations like PBS & Planned Parenthood, pressure your electeds to do the right thing, support reforms like #RankedChoiceVoting

If we are SMART about the resistance, we will be more effective and there will be less temptation to resort to violence.

Learn about reforms, like #RankedChoiceVoting, #BallotInitiatives, #TermLimits, #BetterBallotAccess, #OpenPrimaries, #CampaignFinanceReform, #NationalPopularVoteInterstateCompact. Then educate others about these NON-PARTISAN reforms.

Make sure that your voter registration is up-to-date and that you haven't been purged from the system. Find out if the requirements for registering and voting have changed in your area.

Join the effort to make our elections free and fair. Support the work of organizations like Indivisible, Represent Us, and the Peoples Cause at the national level, and similar organizations at the state level. Remember, elections still happen at the state level.

Continue to put pressure on your electeds, at the state and Federal levels. Show up to town halls when they happen. Voice your opinions when you go. Continue to make phone calls, send emails, and visit their field offices when you can.

If you can afford it, give extra financial support to organizations that deserve it, such as Planned Parenthood, PBS, the Trevor Project, the ACLU, and Democracy Docket to name a few.

Rather than more protests in the streets, I want to see more financial boycotts of big corporate retailers, like Walmart, Amazon, & Target (because of their policies). I would continue to support Costco. We can find stuff we need second hand, which would help us save $$ in this tanking economy.

If nothing changes as a result of the protests, resisters are going to get frustrated and cynical. That could result in people giving up, or it could lead to violence. There are other forms of resistance that could be even more impactful.

I am in the process of explaining why more public protests on 4/19 are a bad idea and what I think we should do instead.
