I hope when Johnson gets his keester around to reconvening that he and ALL the R's will remember that there are 350,000,000 Americans versus 2,000 billionaires. There will be accountability for helping #DementiaDonald. The American people love their democracy and will suffer NO KINGS.

145. General administrative noncooperation When Felon and Nazi orchestrate a coup/ illegal takeover there can be no business as usual. We saw with the Treasury, Nazi crept in on the weekend and locked the civil servants out. They will do that to all the agencies they don't like.

145 general administrative noncooperation

This is when the majority of government administrative workers refuse to cooperate with orders from the top. The main point in this method is that it is large-scale.

Vanessa Wright @vanesspas.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

Can we talk about removing him from office? How does it work? How do we transition back to democracy after he is impeached and removed? I'm concerned another fascist would just take his place and continue on project 2025

Vanessa Wright @vanesspas.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

Strike is our most effective and safest option (I'm scared about him turning the military on protests/marches) And literally numbers 97-119 on Gene Sharp's list are strikes in one form or another. #strike is the way

149. Quasi-legal evasions and delays

Units of government may legally be prevented from defying laws or court decisions that they disagree with, so instead they find more subtle ways to noncooperate. On a structural level, this is like 144, Stalling and obstruction, but it is done by units (like departments) rather than individuals. See 150.

150. Noncooperation by constituent governmental units If u work for local gov disobey (clap clap) If you work for state gov disobey (clap clap) If you work for federal gov disobey (clap clap) If ur terrified that trump plans To disenfranchise/ enslave us Don't take the money stay and disobey 🧵

Charles Kushner, the embezzler and FIL to Ivanka, should not be given the prestigious ambassadorship to France, who has been our ally since we fought King George. Felon reproaches Mexico for sending criminals, and yet, Felon is actually sending criminals. 🧵
