On Feb. 18th, I hoped that we could hit a milestone 11 million people - #11Mstrong - to cross the threshold described by Dr. Chenoweth.

If estimates are accurate, we may have reached this number today! June 14th!

But folks, this is not the end, it's the beginning. We march on, patriots! 🇺🇸 🦆
I want this to be our new mantra.

#11Mstrong

11 Million Americans. That's an easily achievable number. 5.5 Million here on BlueSky, and then bring a friend along.

Let's organize nationwide. Strike, boycott, Walkout. Tag it.

#11Mstrong

Re-post if you agree, let's show them.
We can overcome fascism!

Please watch scholar & expert, Dr. Chenoweth, explain her findings showing sustained nonviolent civil resistance is far more successful than violent campaigns.

We only need 3.5% (11.7 million) of our population to achieve our objectives.

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

#NoKings South Korea!
South Korea: #NoKings! Thousands of people came to show support to the US democracy!
Don't give the #whitehouse the attention it so desperately seeks. Shine light on the #noKings rallies instead!

Also, for those who did not know, "replacement level fertility" is a legitimate scientific term for human demography. It's not any kind of dog whistle.
#youngRepublicans who spread racist and sexist messages:

I am a man, I do not like it, I will not normalize it.

Grow up and stop your fake masculinity circle jerk, GOP. Grow a pair and learn how to surmount your challenges, instead of blaming all your ineptitude on women and black men.
No, this is how Nazis talk in their own spaces. I don’t know abut this dude, but I never talked about gassing people and raping women when I was hanging out with my pals.
Cannot believe I'm saying this...

I agree with the statistics RFK Jr. is citing. The US is below the "replacement level fertility", and this implies a future population decline... but only if we also halt immigration into our country.

If you want to stop pop decline, support immigrants!
The FDA approved Enovid (AKA “The Pill”) as a contraceptive on May 9, 1960. JFK became president months later. So, of course, pregnancy rates were much higher than now, as birth control pills became more easily available to women.

RFK Jr. is an idiot.
RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."
