We the people are speaking out at every capital in every state, today, now!

      I thought the protests were only at the State Capitals. I would’ve shown up to the Pittsburgh area one yesterday had that been known to me

    I’ll pose this (revised) question here because I think it might have better visibility.

    instead of protesting at the capitals of our states – why don’t we protest at the HQs of the departments Musk is attacking?

    lots of benefits

    • heightened on-site security
    • lots of witnesses
    • impenetrable wall of pissed-off Americans
    • attacking the administrations goals

    I mean…has nobody thought of this yet?

    it would at least slow the destruction down, and it’s not like we don’t know what these people look like.

    just 24 hour, round-the-clock, protests to keep the jackals at bay. only badged people get in or out. like white blood cells fighting off an infection.

      There have been protests at the buildings he’s illegally occupying, but there’s also so many tunnel systems in DC I’m sure they could get in there too. What we need is handcuffs of these rat fucks.

    The left’s answer to the right’s 1950s is the 1960s approach.

    Learn from the Civil Rights movement.

    Next phase should probably be to protest at DC. Camp the fuck out there and strike as a nation until Dump is handled.

    Take the 60s Civil Rights approach to this.

          Given the dire situation, I’d hope to see thousands in each protest.

          Given the reality, for this to work, it really needed to be presented as a recurring protest if they want to at least have something on short notice with chance for it to grow in subsequent events. Hopefully by the 3rd or 4th protest it actually seems compelling.

          As it stands, it seems exceedingly underwhelming. To those that followed nuance, they know that someone sprung this idea on the internet and this is the result of less than a week and a half of planning and the modest attendance is unsurprising. To those that just see what the protests looked like without context, it doesn’t seem particularly engaging. When those same people that saw the underwhelming attendance also see people saying that the news didn’t make this out to be the biggest thing ever was just because the news is suppressing dissent, they are disinclined to take it seriously.

        Plant a seed seed, given chance, it will grow. This one, having grassroots, will endure.

    I don’t know if this’ll be removed but self-posts without news articles aren’t allowed here (rule 2).

    Is there a community for content like this? Like a focus on our participation in activism/resistance? Even if not here, this is amazing and something I’d still like to see somewhere.

      Good call, I edited in an article.

      I would really like to see such a community (and on a different instance). I mainly posted this because I don’t see much coverage anywhere.
