1) dumping manure in city streets
2) using their large, slow farm equipment to slow down or block traffic. (Operation 🐌)
3) border blockades www.cbsnews.com/news/france-...

Having lived in France now for nearly 7 years and working on my PhD thesis on social movements in France with 2 publish articles that I co-authored.
I'm going to give some tips and suggestions based on what I've seen in my research and through just... living in France

Since General Strikes seem to be the next logical step in combating the New American Authoritarian Regime, I feel like I'm in a good position to give advice as both an American who was born and raised in the USA and as a social scientist living in France, where protesting is like a national sport.

En Europe, les ventes de Tesla dégringolent, victimes de l'image d'Elon Musk Les ventes de Tesla ont été divisées par deux en Europe depuis le début de l'année. Le comportement de son patron Elon Musk, mais aussi de la modernisation de sa gamme pourraient être à l'origine de cette chute spectaculaire.

First off, Pete Hegseth is a disgrace and should be fired.

Second, instead of being an asshole and trash-talking the journalist, he should be thanking him for not posting anything top-secret that’s still to come.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

Started de-programming about a decade ago...around the same time I started my sociology/criminology degree 🤔. Really eye opening. I now live in France with my kiddo. I voted from France... was even interviewed for the local newspaper just before the election...I was so full of hope...

Yeah, I'm sadly all too aware of that fact... I grew up being indoctrinated with that mindset myself. Alt right, conservative, evangelical church going family... I really struggled with the hypocrisy of it all. Still do. We need a revolution...

I'm so sad to hear that Meidas Touch had to evacuate and hoping they stay safe.
Watching this video now, it's absolutely disgusting how sh*tler 🍊 is attacking California and it's governor right now. I really really cannot stand that man.

YouTube video by MeidasTouch Trump ATTACKS on LA should be CRIMINAL…I was EVACUATED!!

Meidas touch evacuated!!!

Does anyone have a contact for Ann ? Would love to discuss with her the possibility of partnering with her to publish her cartoons exclusively on @bluesky

We can do this. Tomorrow is the day. Do not give up early. Do not be discouraged! A close vote is what we needed here and that’s what we got.

Stay POSITIVE and PRAYERFUL and I will be working.

STAY POSITIVE!

WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

I'm a millennial parent who went through active school shooter drills ...along with fire and tornado drills.
I'm in France now and have peace of mind letting my daughter go to school knowing she's safe.
I'm in a country with access to Universal Healthcare... now
Didn't have that ever in the states

For anyone who believed the lies he spouted... or worse, heard the truth and decided that a known liar wouldn't do the things he said he would... have fun living in a 3rd world country with extreme poverty, no health care, no education, no protection

Yeah, i don't even live in the USA anymore, but my Sisters and Non Binary sibling does... and I can't tune out.
But I'm in France and given the current political situation... I'm getting it from all sides

As a dual USA/French citizen, the last few weeks have been like a fever dream. Because 🍊 winning will have global ramifications, I feel a bit like I'm in a bubble struggling emotionally day to day in grief for my friends and family currently stuck in the USA. Pretty sure I've been disassociating...

Exclusive: Trump would impose 25% tariffs on oil from Mexico and Canada under trade plan, sources say President-elect Donald Trump's plan to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports in his first day in office does not exempt crude oil from the trade penalties, two sources familiar with the plan told Reuters on Tuesday.

When big oil is against Donald Trump's tariffs, you know his policies are bad. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Honestly, they 100% should

Mexico's President Promises Retaliatory Tariffs on U.S. Trump is starting his 2nd term with a brewing trade war fiasco that will lead to higher inflation

Almost all guns in Mexico come from the U.S., they should build a wall.
