Mar 29

I've been protesting since inauguration.

Next Saturday, 05Apr2025, is a big one. Everyone should show up.

They'll be in every state and DC, and, as I just learned while looking for links for you, abroad.

This is probably going to be the biggest protest since he took office. In my area, there are protests planned in at least 3 cities near me.

On BlueSky I post these 2 links daily: https://generalstrikeus.com/ and https://generalstrikeus.com/strikecard

I believe that nothing short of massive street action has a chance of saving democracy in the USA. I also advocate for a massive tax revolt.
