This coinciding with the government shutdown could increase turnout and really fuck with city operations.
I recall the first trump term’e shutdown ending when protests shut down leguarda airport.
Republicans have begun to frame the protests as “hate America rallies,”
I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but exercising your right to protest is one of most patriotic things you can possibly do.
Share that message with anyone you know who needs to hear it.
I hate MAGA’s America, and will fight to kill it.
Yeah, I mean they literally founded their country via a protest which resulted in tea getting chucked into Boston harbor.
I can’t believe 1700s antifa destroyed private property
Anteafa
Some people are reclaiming the flag at protests
It’s needed, to show in photos where the protests are happening. Don’t let them handwave the photos away as some third-world country.
We sit around and bitch about the corporations caving to the alt-Reich, about Congress people just giving in to Trump, about ICE not having a conscience to do the things they do.
Yet as long as we only sit and bitch, as long as we’re not fighting back in some way, we are also complicit in what our country’s government does.
If you honk your horn to warn people ICE is around, you are protecting them. If you protest the regime, others will see that there’s are others standing up and this is not inevitable. If you call your Congress people, you are telling them what the will of the people is, and that people are watching their actions. You don’t have to do everything, but you should be doing something.
How can you expect corporations to care or Congress people to have a spine, if you won’t even pick up a phone? Courage, and consciences, are contagious.
Lmao. next time win the election What the protest gonna achieve anyway We r gonna have somme journos that s gonna interview ppl there and everyone will make fun of them. Good shit
Perhaps you should learn how to spell before you try to be clever with your bullshit.
Yeah cause the way of being right is trough ad hominem attack. Not my first language and no respect for it. Not sorry
Wow, what a fucking moron. Why are you defending people who would want you to die for not speaking English? Go back to your hole dumbass.
Want me to die ? Really ? Wasn’t aware trump voter wanted the whole non English world to die. Just tought they didn’t want illegal alien in their country which is understandable
Yes lol they definitely do.
Na I’m not Antifa affiliated seem safe for me
What is your native language? Where are you posting from?
He’s an idiot but you really are suspect with that username.
Yeah, I’ve been told that on here before. I was born in 1988 and it’s been part of my online persona since I was a young teen. I didn’t know about the HH implication until I started hanging out in more leftist circles on reddit and eventually here
Fair enough. Thanks for explaining.
Does it change anything to my argument ? Mr 88 in the pseudo lmao
Not necessarily, but it would be ironic if you were a non-native speaking English person living in the US. That would likely indicate that you or your parents are exactly the type of people that Trump and his friends are trying to vilify and make life more difficult for.
Yeah it would be if I was an immigrant incapable of speaking English
Do you truly believe that matters to this regime? That it would matter to ICE officers charged with capturing you?
It’s certainly a comfortable thought to consider yourself “the exception,” but it’s dangerously naive. Racists hardly care if you speak English. Complaining about immigrants not speaking English is an easy target to hit, especially since the people being complained about can’t argue back. That doesn’t mean they like foreigners who speak English. If they wanted to complain about you, they’d just pick some other thing that makes you “different.”
You’re still a foreigner, and there are enough fascists out there who don’t care what else you are.
Big mouth username checks out
What an incredible argument If you read this and not the name of an animal a i suggest you should see a doctor
I would but I can’t afford my insurance so seeing a doctor would put me in so much debt that alone would surely kill me 😊
Big ma, moth.
When you made your username, were you trying to spell “mammoth”?
STILL no kings? Is there at least an ETA?
If only the conditions making these protests necessary could have been prevented…
Oh wait, you helped them happen. Enjoy the fake internet points. Can’t wait to see your next agenda.
Edit: Apparently it’s been forgotten that Ozma plastered several communities with articles trashing both Biden and Harris running up to the election.
Edit edit to also remind that while trashing Dem candidates, we got crickets from them about Donnie and friends. It was an obvious agenda that several people recognized at the time. They did it before and they will do it again. Wait for election year.
It’s irrelevant to what OP posted, but you are correct. I remember specifically calling them out over the endless slanted posting against Dems during the election. Never a word against Trump
I didn’t forget
Good. Thank you.
Oh wait, you helped them happen.
I don’t think Ozma had much role in the decades-long neoliberal exploitation of the working class, the entrenchment of inoffensive focus group politics in the DNC, the persistent rightward shift of the Democratic political establishment or Biden and co. gloating about how much they were helping Israel’s genocide.
Apparently it’s been forgotten that Ozma plastered several communities with articles trashing both Biden and Harris running up to the election.
Imagine posting facts that don’t paint ineffectual proto-fascists as the next best thing since sliced bread. Truly a crime against humanity.
It’s useless talking to Americans. They’re all the same. American Liberals are just a more cunning version of Conservatives.
If they are so cunning, why can’t they win a fucking election?
Lol. It was a complete stream of articles aimed at discouraging voting based on a single issue while never posting anything showing that the other side was going to be worse on the same issue, let alone disastrous for so many other reasons.
Don’t give me the bullshit about posting facts. I never said a thing about lies. It was selective posting to promote an agenda of not voting.
If that agenda influenced even on person not to vote, they were part of the problem. Voting is about choosing the best fit candidate, not the perfect candidate. Working to change the horrible status quo should be done outside of an election in which not voting is helping to usher fascism into the highest offices in this country.
Seeing as you’re calling Biden and Harris neo fascist this entire text is lost on you. Guessing you didn’t vote or aren’t a US citizen, and obviously don’t understand what this country lost by electing dipshit don into the presidency. Both sides are not the same no matter how delusionally you believe they are.

Holy shit It’s honestly amazing how dumbass Americans like you see politicians openly supporting and facilitated the biggest genocide of the 21st century and still refuse to admit they’re fascist because the orange guy is worse.
You guys do not give a shit about the plight of the Third World, which would be okay somewhat if your country wasn’t the biggest terrorist organisation in the world. Designating a huge ass entire genocide as a single issue is a fascist dog whistle in and of itself.
The best thing people like you can do right now is shit on people who called actual fascists out for being fascists instead of actually inspecting where you went wrong. Only now Western Liberals are coming around to calling it what the rest of the world has been calling it for the past two years - a genocide.
With Trump - you guys are only getting a fraction of the pain and suffering that America caused to other countries.
Typical tankie rhetoric…
You got voting all wrong. Votes put money in people’s pockets. You gotta withhold the money to make them work for you, or the cycle just continues. If it wasn’t Trump this time, he would have run the next time, or some other loser to take his place. Gaza would still be rubble. People still being deported. Abortions still not legal federally. The two party system does not work and needs a reset. Whether that happened last election or a future election, it would lead to a bad time. Life is cyclical.
Okay what people saying this shit never address is where we are now. Exactly how are we better off now? Trump is 1000 times worse than any Democrat and every single day we see that proven further from a shadow of doubt.
Where we are now is life. Things go up and down. You can’t just keep doing the same thing expecting it to get better when the system doesn’t work that way. Sometimes in life you go through hard times so that the future is better.

I couldn’t have made a better argument against voting against democrats.
Sometimes in life you go through hard times so that the future is better.
Cool, accelerationist.
When you’ve lived more years you’ll understand

The last one did nothing. This one will do nothing. If Trump is there, be sure to block his chopper.
Much easier to be lazy and let others do the work for you.
Yawn. What work are you doing? “Organizing?” lol
What other ideas do you suggest that people should go for then?
What are you doing? 🥱
You know what accomplishes nothing? Keyboard pessimists like you.
To be fair, I think the keyboard optimists don’t accomplish much either. Actions always speak louder than (typed) words.
That’s a nice excuse you have for being wrong twice.
Whataboutism is also pointless.
