Things to do if you are a resister. *Fuck yourself if you drive a tesla *Fuck yourself if you are a Christian (Christian Nationalist) AND *Download the 5 Calls App and call your fucking senators and representatives now https://5calls.org/ *Write some fucking letters or postcards *Post shit on FB and make people uncomfortable, expose those that just can't help but comment on all of your hippy earth saving, park job saving, medicare, social security, education, health, everything good saving posts *But don't let FB posting and WF posting be your only action. (I am fucking guilty of both) *Maybe go to a protest-if at least so you know you aren't alone, but maybe it makes a difference-I don't know, ask me in 4 years. *Stop supporting corporations that are evil. Which corporations are those? I don't know, someone else can post that shit here for us all. Maybe people are starting with Amazon and Twitter (Looks at WF profile with Twitter link. Fuck I have to change that. How do I do that again?) *Run for office *Get some better fucking candidates to choose from. (How do we make this happen?) *Maybe talk to your racist relatives and neighbors and see if you can change their mind about who they voted for. (I seriously laughed when I typed that) (But serioiusly-some people have been asking me about my views lately and why I post what I post and believe what I believe, so there may be some fucking hope) *Don't lose hope. Also *Don't blow shit up MORE TO FOLLOW!

Tedx talk: Erica Chenoweth: Success of non violent civil resistance. Recorded in 2013. There are book recommendations in the comments.
Now lets see, Trump invades Canada, all states with dem governors instantly surrender and their national guards join the Canadian army. Thats how I see the begining play out.
Interesting. The Canadians are doing such a good job of straight out boycotting everything American made.
Increasing trade with Europe will go over pretty well here. a lot of our boomer aged folks came over in the post war years. frequently in waves, so ethnic enclaves evolved that still preserve old country connections (and markets for the products). like, this stuff is probably one of the top five sodas in Toronto... You can find it everywhere
I was thinking that was a book Rachel Maddow was recommending-but a quick search didn't bring it up. Good research on that one. Today is "mail a postcard" to the person in the White House day. I did not do that. I imagine they will end up in a burn pile.
Every time I see this thread title I'm reminded of Vince McMahon's hamhanded parody of anti-Iraq War sentiment, "French" tag team La Resistance. Sigh. Sylvan Grenier deserved better.
This is what I mean when I talk about class solidarity. Even though most of those people are MAGA, we share common working class needs. They've just been convinced by these Republican rat bastards that the black guy, the immigrant, the lesbian, or the trans person next to them is their enemy stopping them from getting what they need. Sometimes they actually wake up long enough to realize just who is fucking them over.
Why does this guy make me laugh tho? He is so sweet. Who will bail me out of jail if I get arrested on April 5th? https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP82QTFxe/
Cory Booker has been talking for more than 8 hours now on the Senate floor in order to disrupt the normal business of the Senate. It is not a filibuster. Today is the Wisconsin Supreme Court vote that Elon is trying to buy.
https://www.npr.org/2025/04/01/nx-s1-5347318/cory-booker-senate-speech This warms the cockles of my heart.
Excellent. Strom's record deserved to be wiped. It didn't deserve respect in the first place, but I guess I know why the record books have to note such things.
This is amazing. Plus the documentation of this. Amazing. I will allow myself to feel hopeful for 2 seconds, but know that there is so much work to be done.
Good on Cory Booker for standing up there and doing what he could in the moment to derail as much bullshit as he could for as long as he could. I mean it. Good job, Cory. Also, hell yeah on breaking Strom Thurmond's record. Fuck that old racist fuck. Unfortunately, the Senate, lead by Chuck Schumer, immediately pushed through unanimous confirmation of Trump's new pick for NATO Ambassador Matthew Whitaker. It's time for Chuck to go.
