The weather is finally getting nice again. They'll get too big to ignore.
They can just shoot microwaves or sonic blasts to disperse crowds these days. Cover all your bases
Fuck anyone who supports him or capitulates
Fascist collaboration
Any day now?
You mean bend over... they're bending over and spreading their cheeks for the whole world to see.
Time for the libs to get in line
Seeing the video of that girl at Tufts getting abducted by the police, I don't blame people if they are too afraid to protest.
I know there is a general strike being organised, hopefully that has a big impact.
Where is the general strike? Do you mean https://generalstrikeus.com/ or is there another? If this then golly we need to start picketing on street corners. Sign-ups have slooooowed.
Why the down vote? This is a sincere question.

Land of the free and home of the brave.
The "Land of the Brave" but was completely belied by our response to the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks. We cried and lashes out at random thing until we hurt ourselves over and over.
Brave would have been standing strong and not trying to genocide the middle East writ large. Instead we did the PATRIOT act maneuver and removed our civil liberties before flushing our world leadership position down the toilet out of fear.

It's like the end of Aladdin where Jefar got the lamp
I believe ADX Florence counts as "itty bitty living space", I vote we skip to that part. Stuff Elon in with him as a substitute for Iago and we're golden.
I wish to be the most powerful genie!
Trump is definitely dumb enough to fall for it, but there's no genie to grant his wish.
As everyone knows Nazis love to good protest to beat into submission.
We do it anyway.
Protesting against a government with ample amounts of 5th generation multi-role fighter aircraft, drones with Hellfire missiles, and plenty of rubes who are giddy at the prospect of shooting the populace they'd supposedly sworn to protect is a fool's errand.
Wildcat strikes "are de wei".

I protest often. There are protests practically daily in NYC.
That's great to hear! It's not covered in our national media (danish) very well.
They’re not covered in the states either. Most of us know not to bring phones to protests, so the crowd videos are pretty limited, but you can find some on TikTok and Instagram. The next big one is on April 5th. Keep an eye out on social media for posts.
I didn’t understand why a national wide on April 5. It should’ve been on the 2nd from Donald’s “big news” and then on the 20th.
Protests are bigger on the weekends.
We've crossed that effectiveness threshold already. Its time to grab your 2A or shut the fuck up.
MAGAs will be there too, because they are beginning to realize they are being royally shit on. In fact, expect them to lead the charge, violently - not all of them, but probably the majority of them.
To quote contra points: I no longer hope for good things.
Over on Reddit today I got the coveted "[Removed by Reddit]" award for a comment where I merely predicted that this would end in violence. This is the Fediverse and I can be a bit freer in saying that at this point that's probably the better option for America, to make it absolutely clear what "side" the general public is on.
I doubt that America will choose the better option, though. Cowards.
It's bitterly ironic that the only people who have taken literal shots at Trump so far were themselves crazed Republican nutballs, his own base. I give America no bonus points for those attempts.
