GOP wreckers don't care about resolving problems. I fail to see any legislative strategy, other than abject surrender, that can forestall (temporarily) this outcome.

The only real option is a stay-at-home #GeneralStrike and #ConsumerBoycott.

If you hit the street, Trump will invoke the insurrection act. But even troops on the street can't force you to go back to work.

A modest proposal.

Call a #GeneralStrike and start organising for it now, not for a specific date but for a triggering event.

For the US, if the US uses military force to annex any territory in Greenland, Canada, Panama, Gaza or wherever.

For other countries, same but the condition is the US does this and your government doesn't unambiguously oppose it within 24 hours.

I'm putting aside savings for mutual aid now.

Americans who disagree with Trump must step up.

"The only thing that has actually toppled autocracy is civil resistance.

"It is a sustained, unrelenting group of people being out in the world, demonstrating their resistance, their refusal, & their ridicule" of this fascist regime.

The future is still made of the decisions that we take together to make the whole thing crumble.

1,000 protesters, in the state of Vermont, kept Vice President JD Vance from vacationing.

This is why it is important to protest on the weekend. Keep it up. Because that is when people can join in larger numbers and even the BBC News, overseas, notices you.

Edited to make clear that the "fired my husband" line was a quote, not my own words.

One of my subscribers runs a business and asked me a question and I have thoughts, but I would love feedback and ideas:

"I’m curious about how our business can support a #GeneralStrike on March 14.

I know nothing about this, the how-tos or who does whats or where to starts.

But conceptually, it’s a very doable thing to radically close our company for a day and #strike together (and pay the staff too)."

In one instance, the wife and husband were playing their community for fools.

The wife, who came off as a soccer mom, convinced people that Tuesday or Thursday would be best, because she supposedly had those days off, and she could bring a bunch of pre-made signs for people to use. This really sold people on the idea, because to her credit, the signs looked wonderful (professional). As you can guess, few people were able to attend the protest.

But on the weekend, her husband and a bunch of people from MAGA were out there supporting, Donald Trump, on the weekend.

MAGA wants you to protect on weekdays. 🤯

I have been noticing the activity on Meta (Facebook), and it seems Donald Trump's people not only expect people to protest, they are counting on it.

The goal is to infiltrate groups and communities, and convenience people to protest when the least amount of people can or will. That means on days when people would be less able or willing and show up in fewer numbers. Then have the mass media report on protests only when there is a low turnout.

Ideal times include weekday when people have work and school, or when the weather is unfavorable as some of these people are checking the extended forecast.
