    Great work to everyone who stands up to hatred and fascism! ❤️

    I watched some of the protests when they were live on YouTube. The fact there was apparently so little media coverage of people protesting against a fascist racist who appointed a Nazi as a special government employee and wants to annex Canada is simply mindboggling.

    Man you had to go and set up a protest like 2 months in?

    Wow. The stun-lock is happening.

    Please do keep tiring yourselves, that will work wonders for your cause

    You know what you should do next month? Pickets!

    Also throw in a full strike, that will surely get them!

    Hahaha oh my god 🤣

    Feb 5* also thank you for this post I am glad it is getting reach.

    On February 5 (when this was happening) there was an infuriating number of posts saying “why aren’t pro-Palestine protesting?”

    And then I’d get downvotes for pointing out people, in fact, protesting.

    So many people with their eyes intentionally closed… felt so hopeless.

    For y’all who’ve never protested before… The reason why they don’t cover it is because they never cover protests (unless people actually FSU then it’s a “riot”)… Maybe if libs cared when it happened to activists for BLM, anti-genocide, etc… Now it’s just completely normal.

    Protests alone will not stop the nazis. They also didn’t in Germany ~90 years ago. I hooe people get that and organize. Fast.

    Really?! The worlds largest propaganda machine is playing tricks on us?!1!

    Facebook knows who is sensitive to this kind of news, they know who would join a protest and who not. And they can decide to whom to show which news. How many people use Facebook & co. as their main source of information? Or main medium to organize?

    Fun fact, this is the first time we get someone really serious about fixing anything and the left completely ostracized and scared about the absurd amount of people that will go to jail and/or lose their bullshit DEI jobs funding transgender plays in another country.

      Do some serious research and go to Congress.gov and read bills that Republicans never brought to vote the last two years and then try to tell who’s serious about fixing things.

      Fun fact, billions of dollars go through USAID for global health and humanitarian needs and idiots cry to dismantle it because of $30k on a theater play. When actual legal paths to contest specific spending do exist.

      Brother name one way your life has improved by MAGA efforts.

      You can’t because your life more or less sucks and you just get off on performative dunking.

      This kind of comment admits really only 2 possibilities:

      1. This is the standard authoritarian tactic of flooding the zone with shit, spewing verbal diarrhea without regard to truth, but rather to disrupt discourse, to intimidate and disconcert, as Sartre famously said.

      2. The writer is actually dumb enough to believe it, against all available evidence.

      I guess there’s also:

      1. All of the above.

      Oy, sometimes I wish I could be as deluded as this, biggest fears being DEI (ahem, brown/black) and trans people. AHHHHH, so scary for the alpha males.

        Okay, but fascism apart, how can you explain USIAD wasting money on transgender plays and DEI initiatives… there’s something wrong here there for sure.

      Musk, a non-government official who gave a Nazis salite multiple times on video, is going through federal organizations and accessing data he shouldn’t be and denying people access when they should have it.

      That honestly doesn’t scare you at all?

      this is the first time we get someone really serious about fixing anything

      Who? Fix what? Trump and musk? They’re fixing things the way the fire “fixed” the Palisades.

      Fun fact, this is the first time we get a literal Nazi who is actively working on dismantling any securities we had about a single person having unlimited power (= dictatorship).

      But hey, at least we got rid of those oh so scary Trans and Gay people…

    Protest by going out to vote. Only 64% of eligible voters participated in the 2024 election. Trump won the popular vote by a slim margin but got less votes than Biden did in 2020. Had more Democrats voted, we would have won the election.

    We have always known that all broadcast and cable news media is tightly controlled. Hundreds of stations across America literally parrot word for word what each other says.

    Now we also know that all social media can also be controlled. There is nowhere safe except small communities that are not controlled by corporations or the government.

    They want us disorganized, poor, uneducated, and religious. This is their plan to reduce us to their serfs to be controlled and abused.
