Also, remember, apathy is the enemy. Authoritarians want you to give up in advance.

Millions of people marching is a sign that what trump is doing is wildly unpopular and authoritarians need some kind of public buy in, in order to completely dissolve all of our rights and freedoms. Republicans won’t act as the guard rail, the Supreme Court won’t act as the guard rail….

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

The person who thinks No Kings was a party would be accusing the protesters of being complicit by our inaction if we *didn't* march. We're damned in her eyes no matter what we do.

When my daughter was 12 I only learned she was playing doctor with the boys from her school because their parents complained she was charging a $25 co-pay.

In the 1990s, we in the Midwest organized against the KKK's attempts at growth. They officially gave up after too many counter-protestors met them every time. At one of their surrender press conferences, they even cited our work, misnaming us the "Midwest Network To Kill the Klan." Antifa works.

Also Poland in 1980! The Solidarity movement started with a shipyard strike that expanded to a general strike throughout the country. The communists were forced to sit down and negotiate.

Belgium 1950, general strike originated over opposition to King Leopold III of Belgium being returned to throne after his refusal to leave Belgium with the government-in-exile during the Nazi occupation; ended with his agreement to abdicate and allow his son Baudouin to take the throne.

Cuba, 1933, a strike for bus drivers in Havana grew to other sectors and spread throughout the country. The strike led to the resignation of President Gerardo Machado.

Trump is now planning to occupy San Francisco. He must be upset about the messages they’ve been making on Ocean Beach.

Q: Do you feel Israel was justified with striking when it did?

TRUMP: Striking where?

Q: In Gaza. Today. And overnight.

TRUMP: I'd have to get back to you on that

DUMB "FUCKWIT" WEREWOLF TED CRUZ ACTUALLY THINKS GEORGE SOROS IS PAYING PROTESTERS. HOW WOULD THAT EVEN WORK? MANY ARE SAYING TO ME "SIR! SIR! NO ONE INSULTS TED CRUZ LIKE YOU DO, SIR! HOW DO YOU DO IT? SIR!" THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY WRITE-UP OF NO KINGS DAY. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/3Jk3mxu

hey, did you know that Ted Cruz has a side hustle as a US Senator? I know, I was shocked when I found out, too. I thought all he did was podcast, and put his unctuous werewolf face on Fox News.

anyway, here’s a fact check for Teddy C: fuck off.

Ted Cruz, you odious dumbfuck. do you actually think George Soros is cutting seven million paychecks for the protesters? I have a question: is Soros withholding taxes and issuing 1099s, or do we need to be keeping track of that shit ourselves? is an inflatable frog costume a deductible business expense?

fuck me, did I even remember to save the receipts?

So where was ICE yesterday?

If there are lots of people around, you won't see them. Like cockroaches who scatter from light. They prefer to stuff people into vans with as few eyeballs around as possible.

Trump on No Kings: "It's a joke. I looked at the people. They are not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs I guess paid for by Soros and other radical left lunatics. We're checking it out. The demonstrations were very small. And the people were whacked out."

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Will Bunch @willbunch.bsky.social · 1d

The 7 million Americans who took the streets for 'No Kings' made history, and they did something even more important

They got under the skin of Donald Trump and his dictatorial regime, on a day that showed that most Americans love democracy instead

My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/no-k...

Then they fight you: How the No Kings protests are winning America | Will Bunch

A massive turnout of 7 million and a panicked White House showed Saturday why the No Kings protests matter, a lot.

So, MAGA, you still think your King, Trump, deserves a Peace Prize for an Israel-Hamas ceasefire that didn't even last a week?

For wanting a war with Venezuela?

For helping Putin occupy Ukraine?

For unleashing ICE against Americans?

Cool, cool.
