The worst thing you can do right now is hide or go quiet. Stand up and talk back.

I agree!
Speak up, every voice is a key to unlock another voice.
Thank you for doing so.

We won’t go quietly into the night!
All day everyday! Use your voice! Never give up!
You cannot fight the Shameless people without being aggressive and revolution.
Always have, always will!

Exactly how you deal with bullies.
Talk is cheap actions speak louder than words
It has been incredibly mind blowing to discover how hard basic communication and tolerance for inconvenience is for so many people
We got spoiled by 4 years of competence and lack of scandal and illegal activities during Biden’s term.
lack of illegal activities? but biden had files in his garage, even though he immediately reported them when he noticed and that shouldn't even be an issue because of the supreme court ruling that puts presidents above the law but he had files in his garage!!!!! emails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /s
Girl, I was about to come at you.
I would absolutely have deserved it if I was being serious
Hahaha
Yes. Take a break if needed. But don’t stop.

We had a great turnout at the Tesla protest in Northbrook, IL, but I didn't feel well so all I could do was drive by and shake my fist in support.
I drove by and saw them selling teslas on south Lindbergh, 🤦🏼♀️🤮
Where?
Tysons Corner in Virginia
Which street?…
Tyco Road. If you’re local, join in- every Saturday at 11. Also Sterling and Arlington and DC have protests. DC has 🎶!
Nice job!
Thanks to these folks
I’m tripping to France to visit last of blood family for a few weeks; if I speak up I might not be allowed to return home (eh, it’s a potential adventure…). Burner phone w/NO social medical because:

Does anyone know if there will be a protest on May 1st in Joplin?
Rain or shine baby!!
How do you get your info? Apparently, there was one yesterday that I didn't hear about.
I've seen a few posts here, internet searches, and the Indivisble Joplin bluesky account posts updates.
I'm not seeing anything about Joplin so I need to dig deeper. What do you think about sign messages this time? @indivisiblejoplin.bsky.social
We are not hosting a May Day protest, but I believe someone else is.
Do you have any idea who?
Thank you.
My mama would say I have been training for this my whole life.
No, stand up and scream at the top of your lungs.
I wore my "I'm with the Banned" (books) shirt to to the local library sale today. The woman at the door rolled her eyes & said (loudly) that everyone is entitled to an opinion but she didn't think kids need to read trash. People turned to look at us as I (loudly) said "free societies read freely."
I was so shocked to encounter her behavior at the library. She was a volunteer for the local friends of the library. I live in the deep south but it was really alarming to me to realize our library isn't a safe place.
It’s been great to get out weekly for our local Portland #teslatakedown! I’ve made so many new friends and we encourage each other to do more. Now is the time to stand up! bsky.app/profile/d2lo...
Exactly! 👍
Infuckingdeed, Jess!✊🏽
People have been asking me to shut up forever.. BUT I STILL BE LOUD AF..
Stand strong.

Every time I talk, I voice my opinion and either get thrown in FB jail or Bluesky deletes my post.
100%
Be LOUD
Use our outside voices!
And if they can't hear you shout like what you're saying needs to be heard. Frump shouted bullshit and they bought it. Make your thoughts heard. Truth should be louder than lies.

Count on it👊
We did !
Absolutely. Hiding and shutting up won't save you. There is no way to keep a low enough profile not to become a target. Who's targeted for what changes daily. Also, to MAGAts the "enemy" is anyone who doesn't enthusiastically and unilaterally support Trump.If you're silent, you're still an enemy.
Yes ,we won’t back down!

Call your Rep. and Senator every day. Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121. Email them through their websites. Tell them this: 1. Call for impeachment. Loudly. Daily. 2. Visit the concentration camps in El Salvador and demand to see your constituents. Or don’t ask for money… (Please repost)
I'm 70 and now I'm joining protest so my grandkids can proudly say I fought for them. I will not let democracy fail us. OLD LADIES UNITE.
Thank you. I miss my mom. She would be out there with you ❤️👊🏻
Scream it from the rooftops. “ I’m mad as hell & I’m not gonna take it anymore “
Yes! We MUST speak up! Or our children WILL be forced to have to state "The Americans knew about it all, and ignored it." As a former mass grave investigator, I am blown away with the apathy. bsky.app/profile/gabe...
And expose this guy’s diabolical agenda! www.thenerdreich.com/curtis-yarvi...
Trying 😔
My wife and I will be out at the protests May 1 and apparently May 3rd. We will never comply with this Nazi asshole
At a recent town hall, my House Rep said that anger is unproductive. I beg to differ.
Anger is fuel. Anger tells us where our boundaries are that we need to set and enforce. People who tell you "anger is unproductive" are people who know they are going to lose some of their power (which they are NOT entitled to!) when people express anger. Ask me how I know.
My creepy drunk uncle told me once, “You cuss too much for a girl so smart and pretty. You don’t need to do that.” So I said, “You are actual proof that I do, asshole. And I’m 32 years old. I’m not a girl.” Ugh.
Since the USA has gone pretty russofascistic, there are worse things than staying silent and out of sight. Like, being the ordinary citizen kidnapped and shipped to CECOT if you stand up against Krasnov and his comrades. And talking back doesn't cut it anymore, but unfortunately,...
...those who could actually do more than talking are rather hiding themselves behind big speeches and leave the ordinary citizens to take the brunt of Trumps Blitzkrieg against the USA. Which is almost worse.
Damn right. Jess!!
My mother would say I'm good at that. She hated it when I did it. She's gone long ago -- now, I'm in my element!
1000%. I’ve moved on from 2 friends that are hiding because it is ‘too stressful’. Yes it is but that is not an option. Getting involved in actions is empowerment & it relieves that stress. Thanks Piper.
I might be more willing to if I saw any fight from ANY elected official. Cory was great a couple of weeks ago & Jasmine has great sound bites, but where are articles of impeachment? 25th Amendment? All I see is performative art from people who will be fine when the shelves are empty. 😡
Take Action! Boycott, strike, resist!
To make it easier to translate into different languages = here is the text in the picture: Military parade on May 9 in Moscow. Victory Day! #Europolitics #TrumpPolitics #TrumpCartoon #UkrainianNegotiations #NewsRussia
GET OUT AND GET LOUD!
Strength in numbers and groups.
We have a responsibility to fight back!! ✊️🇺🇸 Generalstrikeus.com
I didn’t think I would have to fight an administration in my 70’s. But I did it in the 70’s against that administration. I maybe small but I am mighty and I am not afraid and I will not give up. This my attire I wear at protests here in Florida.
Thank you
I am looking to gather as many as we can for a huge protest at the state Capitol in Jefferson City. June 14. Please help me reach out to all those groups across Missouri.
Sorry but you can't 'protest' fascists away. They'll either lock you up or laugh at you. You guys need to get up to speed. There's only one way to remove them...but that requires courage.
But before bullets you have to try as they say give peace a chance. These are our fellow Americans. We do love them lost or not.
Of course, that is right, but that time has gone. Do you guys really not understand that these people will NEVER give up power. You're all putting your heads in the sand, because you don't want to think about what you have to do to remove them..
EVERY. DAY. For the rest of my life! Free means Free
This poll checks out. So when’s the 24/7 protest outside maralagoon? We should be protesting at their places of privacy, not just biweekly visits. Let’s go my friends.
They have nothing but lies. Be brave and stay safe all
Now is ABSOLUTELY THE TIME to be loudly fighting for our democracy.
Small actions by a lot of people can make a big difference.
Oppression begins as soon as our resistance ends! They want us to get tired and accept what is happening to our freedom & end democracy. We can not stop making our opposition heard!! Contact your Republican representatives & demand they support judges & the LAW or demand their resignations
Agree, we need to support all those who know the difference between a lie and truth
America knew that it was voting for a pathologically lying insurrectionist for president (with a majority sitting out the election). I’m still processing America’s unreasonable choice. Talk back? I’m not even sure this country and I speak the same language anymore.
Tru dat!
HELL YES! I’m here for it.
More bristling non-compliance please.
“He’s a hollow man desperate to look powerful, a dull mind acting like a genius. He preaches virtue like it’s his trademark but lives without an ounce of it. He picks fights and plays the victim. Take away the performance, and you’re left with nothing but a coward.”
I probably talk back too much. I'm gonna end up on a list for speaking my mind.
If anyone is interested, YouTube DARKCYDE1313
I'll be there with you!
i legitimately live in fear every day of my life now lmao
Yeah, the problem is we lose our jobs, while those elected to serve as a voice for us keep theirs? Nah.
Don't forget to let state legislators know they are being watched. Many forget that they are supposed to serve US, not the lobbyists that slip them a few $k.

Put yard signs out! Hang your flag upside down! I'm on the busiest street in a red town....
OH hell yeah 👍💪🇺🇲💙
Are you LOUD enough yet? The Government, including the rapist, is on YOUR payroll and works for YOU, not the other way around. All those being fired also work for YOU! It's a numbers game, show them some BIG numbers!!!! MAKE SOME NOISE!! Loud enough that the media can't ignore! Just sayin'
Yes sis ✊🏻
Why? They’ll just put the boots to us all. Might as well just make extra room on top of the bodies at the cemetery and file in one at a time.
🔹 While holding a #FightFascism poster, I got a Nazi salute... ...so I penned an op-ed on the right's selective outrage about antisemitism for a Jewish paper. 🔹 While protesting with an upside down US flag, a car veered onto curb at me.. ...but I stood my 1A ground. Bullies are weak.
Yes! To quote Martin Luther King, Jr. “There comes a time when silence is betrayal” Everyone continue to speak out against the genocide in Gaza!

Fantastic!
And the amount you need to stand up and talk back is commensurate with your privilege. White dudes (looks at self in the mirror), now is our moment. Stand up or face the harsh judgment of herstory.
It’s an important time to listen to each other, and stand up and let your informed voice be heard! open.spotify.com/track/3ZfXE1...
To be effective for Congress to act, the protest signs should be specific with the ultimate demand - IMPEACH, CONVICT, REMOVE bsky.app/profile/craz...
Silence by millions of Americans will be understood as a green light by Trump Gestapo militia (ICE). It's a matter of time before they will come for your neighbours, family members, your employers, your representatives, and you. Do not stay silent!! Call for a General Strike. They can't stop you!
Yes. We are all in danger. ALL of us.
Fuck.
I ask this of the big accounts all the time. I never get a response. What do we do when we stand up, talk back, and lose our job? It happened to me during Trump's first regime. Not one big account came to my aid.

Can't vouch for Pete phone thing but the rest of it is verifiable. Wouldn't be shocked. Germany arrests 2 alleged Russian spies accused of scouting U.S. military facilities for sabotage www.cbsnews.com/news/germany...
Thank you for sharing!The entire country...100% of us should be marching the streets in outrage. We all know another part of their playback is to wear us out. I mean good grief I'm shot...but we can't step down from fighting for this land!
Why won’t people listen !
Unfortunately I'm the only one displaying signs in my neighborhood, even though I know there are many on my side. But it's important to say it out loud.
Surround the White House by the thousands and make the orange felon retreat into his bunker again.
Someday this plan will work!
Stop yelling at me, I am !
I do a lot of screaming at my tv. Screaming at those protests, too.
Fight, fight and fight every day until the tRump oligarchy destroying our democracy and great country is defeated and removed!!! God bless America!! 🇺🇸
Stand up and shoot. Don’t let ANYONE arrest you if you’ve done nothing wrong. Fuck ICE. Fuck the GESTAPO.
Will not hide Will not be quiet. THIS is our Representative of the United States of America?? Embarrassing.
This is terrible advice for anyone actively working Resistance.
Stand up and talk back! Too much at stake
That’s why my whole account is set up under my real name
Thank you for saying that quite frankly, I was getting a little bit scared last week thinking that I would be put on a list and hauled off to El Salvador if I spoke ill of Trump, but now I’m to the point where I’m gonna act up and speak my mind.
Definitely. The best way to deal with a bully is to stand up to them.
John Brown was right.
Thank you for being w bid voice Jess!💙🌻
Agreed! I attended an 80th anniversary remembrance event of the holocaust a few days ago. Hearing the stories told by the sons and daughters of the survivors was a powerful reminder of why it's so important to stand up and fight back now before it's too late.
...unless you are over-melanated
Make your feelings public. We need to know who is in our side. MAGA has the dumb hats. Until we come up with something similarly popular to our people, put up a message you like. Shout it out!
I do, but whose reading? 🤭
Louder! Over my dead body.
Nice.
So much truth 💪🏻
This used to all be basic shit too.
Thank you - each one strikes home! ❤️🇺🇸
We need to remind the Democrats in office of this, because they keep telling us they need a "majority" before they can do anything. I'm amazed at the cowardice of virtually ALL of our leaders-courage revels itself in times of crisis. Luckily the Ukrainians have Zelensky.
Letsgooo #stayloud
RESIST!
#StepOutOfLine, #Ladies

take a little break at times and come back fighting people...
Absolutely Jess. Are freedoms and great country are at stake
thanks for all you do ❤️
Yes!!!
What is happening with the Federal Government of the USA is wrong. It is ALL WRONG. #ImpeachTrump
As Ben Franklin said: “We must hang together or we will surely hang separately.” Stand strong together. Be loud. Be angry! We will defeat these fucking Nazis!
Fight
and end up in a Salvadorian Prison?? Nothing will change. They stole the last vote, they’ll steal the next.
So be quiet and let it continue happening? No thanks
Oh no, I’m gonna speak up, but not at a Klan rally!!
When did she bring up a Klan rally?
She didn’t. I’m talking about the region where I live. Unfortunately
Words = Nothing
Oh? So all the words and books spoken in the 1960s = nothing? Weird how history was changed
Don’t misunderstand me, when I say words means nothing I’m speaking of Democratic Leaders, funders…. Peaceful Protest and Boycotts is all we got.
It isn’t all we have. But it’s how we change things
It is a choice. We still have the choice to let them know we don't agree with their politics, don't want to live in a police state, and refuse the sadistic treatment of human beings. Once that choice is taken away from ALL of us, I know I did my best for my community and society at large.
Most of us don’t want that. How do I says this… the risks are not the same between Ukrainians living in Lviv and Ukrainians living in Melitopol even before Russias formal invasion. Easy for some not, so much for those that live closer to the belly of the beast
Let’s see next year when we vote for congressional candidates how forgetful or ignorant Americans are.
agreed!!! If you need some inspo -https://www.r3belyell.com/shop
You're absolutely right!
Believe me, I am doing all that! And when the shit show finally begins, I will give it my all! I literally do not care if I live or die, but die for democracy, you bet I will! I’m old now, but I can’t think of a better way to go. Thank you for everything that you do! We will win this!
