Mass, relentless public protest is all there is. Every other mechanism for stopping despotism has failed. There's a reason that so many state constitutions include the phrase "All political power is inherent in the people"

WHEN will MSM report on the quiet scenes outside meat processing facilities in RED STATES where thousands of undocumented workers are employed in terrible conditions for low pay that AMERICANS won’t do? Magats love attacking LA & blue cities, but RED STATES? Not so much. EXPOSE the deals & hypocrisy

Standby: How quickly and easily the Trump Reich was able to strike fear + oppress any opposition. This allowed them to arrest + deport political opposition at the same time as collecting and sending undesirables to concentration camp in El Salvador. All those involved profited personally. #FUMAGA

Sometimes I like to ask a random person "What was the last protest that happened in your state/county/city and what was it about?" I think most people can only point to Jan 6 2021. I don't know what protest will do when Trump has a cabinet of "professional" liars and can ignore protests.

It's still worse there than in the US. Ol' Winnie the Pooh came into power as a dicatator and doubled down from there. You've got millions imprisoned for being Muslim, the economy is in big trouble, and he's looking to draw his country into a quagmire war trying to destroy Taiwan and the US Navy.

The constitution functionally no longer applies, the courts have no means of enforcing their rulings on Trump and congressional republicans will never break with him on this. Trump is an illegitimate leader who has annihilated constitutional law, and they should act accordingly

A huge part of what @generalstrikeus.bsky.social is doing is organizing the mutual aid that will be necessary to support a sustained strike. Not everyone can go on strike. We need 11 mil strikers with a large network of financial & organizational support behind them. This group is doing the work!

Unfortunately, most of this stuff is barely even on the radar of many (most?) Americans. One thing I’ve learned in recent elections is folks pay more attention during POTUS election cycles and even then they barely know what most folks here are upset about. It will get A LOT worse from here.

The way things are going it's going to take more than that to uproot these fascists. They are escalating things every day, and if they declare their 'martial law' and start shipping people en masse off to the death camps then The People will need to escalate drastically further than mere protests.

"Every other mechanism for stopping despotism has failed." We've haven't even had a large strike, much less a general one. That's like maybe step two in a long series of steps that have a chance of having a meaningful impact.
