Not rioting retaking control of our government and enforcing the Constitution through armed resistance

No kidding !

Yeah, we should be rioting but, at this point, we can’t even get meaningful numbers on the street for non-violent protest. I guess people just don’t care.

We care, and we’re exhausted.

🤣

It does but that’s what they want. So they can indiscriminately murder U.S. in the streets & call it law enforcement. So we should be boycotting & resisting in every other possible way.

Got ya.

YES!!!!!!!!!! FIGHT!!!!! Cute protests won't do anything. There's not a letter from anyone that will stop what's happening. It's time for serious action.

Yea, we should be rioting. But hang in there, the time is coming.

Lots of us are protesting.

Successful movements are economic. That's how apartheid ended and India/others escaped colonialism. The regime wants violence; all of P25 is happening so martial law would. This is what the alt-right wants to start their RAHOWA. Don't fall into the trap, Hegsethanol would put tanks in the streets.

Well, that and bombs and hunger strikes and riots.

This!

Peaceful protests only! Engage in persistent economic and legal action in massive amounts.

For now. But prepare for tomorrow.

People throughout the world are in the streets protesting corruption, WTF is wrong with us?

There are a lot of protests and boycotts here in the US. They are growing. Find some and join in.

I can't figure it out. Someone did say the reason we aren't is because then Trump will invoke Martial Law as per Project 2025. But I don't know if that is true. I don't know why we haven't taken to the streets.

I think people are afraid of causing a confrontation and where that will lead. They keep looking to Congress and the courts. But it kind of feels like delaying the inevitable. It is clearly heading for a boiling over moment or for the match to be lit. Free Luigi.

I heard - admittedly, through a (credible, reliable) second-hand source - that after the election, every individual in the armed forces received an email reminding them their oath is to the Constitution, not the President. I was told that had never been done before.

Yes that is true, however the military and law enforcement is rife with white supremacists, so that is why this remains a big question.

The @playbookforchange.bsky.social has a few ideas on offer. And I do wonder whether we could simply ignore politics and reshape our world without those incompetent people who obviously lack the imagination to see what is possible.

Thank you, I'll follow them.

Them would be me, it's one of my projects. And thanks.

Nice. <3

Yes, we should be!

We could do the lazy thing & shut the country down first. Don't buy anything, don't go to work. Like the French do. Can they call martial law on us if we are home in our jammies not giving the oligarchs our time & our money? Also, there have been thousands of protests. Not televised. Show up anyway

“IF WE BURN YOU BURN TOO!” Was a great line and I sure hope Musk/Trump & puppy dog JDV that it can happen in real life. DJT did NOT win the majority of the popular vote and does not have a mandate for the B S being inflected on us! DJT IS NOT A KING AND CANT RULE BY EXECUTIVE ORDER!

Getting close

April 5th is a good opportunity to join a protest march in states across the country! Ask Google to find an April 5th protest near you to find times and locations. There are at least 2 in my city! We are the democracy defenders!

On a massive scale !

Go to the DC, state capital & local rallies & protests. Get involved with local Democratic orgs. RESIST. STOP TRUMP MUSK AND PUTIN cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thu...

It does feel like it

Ask the French

We're way past that

Actually, if it’s quiet, there might be something else going on.

And give him an excuse to declare martial law?

A riot is an ugly thing. And I think it’s time we had one.

The USA only riots when sport teams win or lose.

Seemingly

They rioted on the Capitol J6 and all got pardons... Giver a shot

I'm in, got my pink shirt and sub sandwich ready to go

Only thing to be very aware of is - To not to get Violent. That will Cause "Martial Law" to go into effect, which will put the Military aganist Suvillans, which puts the "Regime" in Dictatorship Full Status. Continue the Finacical Boycottsn that hurts them more than anything.

Good plan

Yes we should.

Depends if you want a general making laws to kill us on demand, oy!

As long as the US is under fascist rule, the answer is always yes. Also, there are near constant protests. Philly is ongoing until 11pm tonight. Next one for Mahmoud is in Newark on Thursday. There are also countrywide protests planned for April 5. Get out there!

Yes.

We will effect more precision strikes than that, but if it does go that way, antifa will happily smoke the jackboots with ease.

We should be screaming and non-violent masses at this point. Can't give him an excuse to declare martial law - he jonesing for it!

First good laugh in days of despairing doomscrolling. Thank you!

😘

…

Maybe a little rioting would so us some good. Get outside, enjoy the spring air, and maybe quash an economic coup. Who's to say? We could try...

🤣

Wanna riot? I know I do but I'm old enough to remember this. Don't think for a minute it wouldn't happen here. We need to strike!

It would definitely happen here.

Look at the military vehicles our law enforcement purchases. They want it to happen here.

you are right about that.

Come to a Tesla protest. Hit Elon in his Tesla’cles and stop the money that funds his government take over.

Make the imported Masterbaster skip a stroke.

After all J6 was just a party so it's legal, right?

so legal

That's my take on it. 💪🏼

Trump is looking for rioting, probably itching for it.

General Strike

This seems to be not working. We're getting nothing, so . . .

except I have a feeling that they are trying to get us to riot so they can attack us.

Declaring martial law and confiscating guns will follow serious rioting, so boycotts may be more effective.

I think it will only work if the Republicans start getting mad too

yeh, true

Of course we should try peaceful means, but do you really think they will work? Maybe corporate America will stand up to him if it affects there bottom line, but not counting on it.

I don't think anything will work :(

Where else is this heading? How long can we avoid martial law? The question is, will the military be willing to follow these orders. I thought the lawsuits were helping, but he has no regard for the law. They are killing us already and it will just get worse. This is a fucking nightmare.

Peaceful protests only. I don’t want the National Guard to be deployed. And I don’t want to see people going to prison for 20 years because they destroyed property either.

We are currently busy protesting 😏🤦🏾

Yes

I don’t think rioting is the answer. But I do think we need to keep showing up at peaceful protests and boycotting any companies that support this regime!
