While #liberals are calling #Trump a #taco, you have radicals in the streets burning cop cars & fighting ICE.
THIS is what #protesting #fascism looks like!
This is happening in #Kentucky and it’s amazing! They’re showing us all the reasons why they’re #protesting the #Trump Administration!
Not even 100 days in—and a nonstop comedy of errors—except none of it’s funny.
Some of this you probably didn’t know. And once you do, you’ll wish you didn’t.
Imagine how much worse it would be if we’d stayed silent. Keep speaking up. Keep #protesting. Keep calling. Keep writing. Keep posting—because it all matters.
Now this is irony... a group that was the victim of #genocide perpetrated by #Germany is being #censored by Germany for #protesting the genocide being carried out by their brothers. In Germany's eyes, Genocide Is Good™.

Wearing a mask is an act of refusal.
It is refusal to participate in a mass disabling event. It is refusal to leave behind disabled comrades. It is refusal to fall in line with the eugenicist logics at the heart of fascism. It is refusal to comply in advance with the mask bans.
Refuse fascism. Wear a mask.
If you're going to a demonstration tomorrow, one of the most powerful ways you can oppose fascism is to wear a high-filtration mask.
Tomorrow dozens of national organizations are teaming up to host protests in cities across the United States. With hundreds of thousands of people hitting the streets for the first time since the effective collapse of the constitutional republic, there’s a growing need to widely disseminate information on keeping ourselves and others safe. To that end, we’re sharing a new zine based on text from @privacyguides, which includes best practices and helpful tips for smartphone security, protests, and mass surveillance. You can read and download the free guide at https://archive.org/details/protesters-guide-to-smartphone-security.
In Asheville, protesters will be rallying in Pack Square from 11am to 1pm. Members of our collective will be there distributing copies of “The Protesters’ Guide to Smartphone Security” along with practical zines for folks interested in taking effective action against fascism.
Looking for more opportunities to pick up introductory materials? We maintain a table of free resources at Firestorm that we think everyone should read! We’d also encourage you to check out the zines available at https://www.sproutdistro.com/catalog/zines/direct-action.
Once again #protesting (and marching) against the corrupt prorussian #Slovak government. This time the bastards copied over a #Russian law targeted against #ngo and our freedoms.
We’re not gonna just let it happen. We will fight it with everything we’ve got. #slovakiaiseurope

Big crowd at the Devon, PA #TeslaTakedown protest this morning. We finally got some decent weather. Guessing 300 protestors, and we moved to both sides of the street.

#Arson at a #Tesla #Swasticar servicing center is being investigated as terrorism. This clears the path for LEO across the nation to arrest anyone #protesting #Tesla as #terrorists, conspiring to commit terrorism, or aiding and supporting terrorism.

Trump Claims Boycotting Tesla Is Illegal, Which It Very Much Is Not

"Meanwhile, the anger at #Musk & #DOGE is absolutely fueling the #protests, property damage, and public outcry at #Tesla owners & dealerships...
while #Trump can’t currently punish the free public for #protesting, it’s obvious he wants to. Which means he, at least, is no longer operating under the illusion that it’s a #democracy he wants. Nor a #republic."
Useful resource for anyone protesting anything.

160 today at the #TeslaTakedown in Devon, PA. So here's the headcount over the four weeks that this protest has occurred:
Week 1 - 16
Week 2 - 12
Week 3 - 60
Week 4 - 160
I'll be there next week. Hoping for 250!
Public anger at this administration's bullshit is growing quickly.

After-action report on this morning's protest at Tesla in Devon, PA:
- About 60 attendees.
- Age range 20s to 80s, but skewed older.
- One of the crowd had a sign inviting motorists to honk if they hate Musk. So the event was a honkfest.
- We were across from a Grenadier dealership and a supercar/hypercar customization shop. At one point a slew of local men in their supercars and hypercars rolled by and treated us to the sounds of their snarling, popping, snapping V16s. Fun! I don't know if they were for us or against.
- A fellow in a pickup truck rolled by slowly in the turning lane, equipped with a megaphone, accusing each and every one of us of being a "tranny" and having a penis. Some issue there -- very concerned about what was in everyone's pants. Needs therapy.
- I suspect there will be even more attendees next week.

#IfNotNow: We are disgusted that #Trump & his #antisemitic, neo-Nazi allies are planning to #deport #students & other #immigrants for #protesting the Israeli military's assault on #Gaza, while gutting academic #freedom by threatening to withhold billions in federal funding for universities.

According to the organizers (said on stage), there were 20000 (!) people #protesting against the planned cuts to #research and #highereducation in NL in Den Haag today! I want to stress how many people showed up despite the rain, despite the cold, despite the longer journey for many (shout-out to colleagues from Groningen and Maastricht!), and despite the short notice of only two weeks after the questionable cancellation of the original #protest. #WOinActie
Ben & Jerry's is back in court again, and this time it's #suing its parent company #Unilever over accusations that it silenced the #IceCream maker's attempts to express support for a #ceasefire in #Gaza and support #Palestinian #refugees.
In a #lawsuit filed on Wednesday, Ben & Jerry's said Unilever breached the terms of a previous agreement that gave the ice cream company responsibility over its "social mission".
Despite this, Ben & Jerry's said it was #silenced four separate times when it tried calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, advocating for halting US military aid to #Israel, supporting university #students #protesting against Israel's war on Gaza, and supporting the safe passage of Palestinian refugees from Gaza to the UK.

Rebecca Subar writes: "Whether armed or nonviolent, what is the purpose of unilateral nonconsensual action? It is to build #power, not to resolve the demand that the group is #protesting about."
#MandyBrown: "What’s important is that it shifts expectations: […] the desired outcome is a more level playing field—level enough that true #negotiation can take place."
