political violence IS inexcusable — whether it is being inflicted by an unknown shooter or the president. we can’t have it both ways!

if you’re okay with all of that (and more) but draw the line at the assassination of a conservative influencer who has built a platform based on violent and hateful rhetoric, then no, you are not truly against political violence.

political violence is also: - starving, murdering, and bombing 2 million civilians in Gaza - kidnapping innocent people and deporting or detaining them without due process - police killing unarmed Black people - throwing tents and belongings of unhoused people into dumpsters - storming the capitol

I don’t think the statue of liberty has a plaque that says “give us your money and you’ll get a green card but better”

call your reps and urge them to do the same, or better yet to show up to SOTU and then walk out. Dems can’t just say this is a constitutional crisis, we have to act like it — and that means refusing to go about business as usual. ☎️: (202) 224-3121

elon musk inventing a “white genocide” in South Africa is more than a bold faced lie. it’s another sick example of maga co-opting the language used to describe oppression to ignite their own base while villainizing the people who are actually oppressed. words are powerful weapons.

if everything feels overwhelming and hopeless right now, you’re not alone. but I hope this breakdown gives you something to add to your to-do list that will turn that rage into action — and remind you that this fight is far from over.

Action 5: spend wisely boycott companies that made large donations to the trump campaign or have rolled back DEI. its a long list, but here are some big ones to avoid: - Amazon - Target 💔 - Walmart the People’s Union USA is also organizing an economic blackout on February 28.

Action 4: Track local legislation and testify since the federal government is in ~shambles~ it’s important to pay attention to what’s going on locally. if there’s a bill that is relevant to you or your expertise, submit testimony in support or opposition: indivisible.org/resource/ind...

🧵 so whether you’re new here or have been listening to me talk about this stuff since high school, rest assured that protests do work — but only if they are organized, sustained, and large. we need 11 million people, so grab your friends and let’s get to work.

🧵 I’m writing this as someone who has been involved in the anti-Trump coalition since before I was old enough to vote. after 8+ years of this, it’s easy to feel like the actions I’ve taken have made no difference. but this is a critical moment when they are hoping we will give up and back down.

research has shown that it takes 3.5% of a population participating in protests to enact change. that’s 11 million Americans. we CAN preserve democracy, but we need more people to actively participate in the movement to stop the assault on our freedoms. here’s how: 🧵 www.bbc.com/future/artic...

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world

Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

Let’s be clear: the whole thing is a con. TikTok could’ve kept the app rolling on Sunday but by shutting down & mentioning Trump, he gets to be the savior. One of many examples of companies & billionaires bowing down. It’s BS. But it’s also the reality. Let’s not give Trump anymore opportunities 👍🏾
