I heard sage advice from a former reporter, we have to reach out to the press AHEAD of protests to get them to show up.

The local press are normal people without agendas that are covering an endless amount of info. They are not going to know what we are doing unless we loop them in ahead of time.

Call/text tip lines Email reporters Reach out on social media

GET THE PRESS INVOLVED!!!!!!

We all know it was bullshit but I need something to point to as proof.

I have been struggling to understand why so many people are drinking the kool aid. This video explains how & why some sectors of a population will embrace a mentally ill leader. It points out how the illness spreads and how it destroys us all. It’s an hour long, but I found it helpful in explaining the chaos we are in. Maybe this will help you, too.

The large Stand up for Science Protest shows that our movement, and others like it, are growing! Take heart! See if we can protest in more places, and merge the events.

Galvanize, organize, mobilize!

I live in a major US city. This morning I was out distributing the remainder of my first batch of flyers and I went to Home Depot. This is normally a full parking lot on the weekends and I'd say it was less than half full today. So I went over to the nearby Target and I was shocked. It was about 25% full and also normally packed. The boycotts are crushing big businesses.

I have canceled the plans I had for spring break and am heading to DC. I have seen enough online and I feel obligated to go. I am coming to do more than just protest, I need to hear what the people have to say. I am from a small city with no response to what's going on. Since I am heading down alone, where can I find people to hear? Where will the largest groups be? I have been to DC enough times to know my way around the mall and I am staying 2 blocks from the white house.

Congress is proposing a new bill titled: Presidential Savings Time

In this bill, we turn the clocks ahead 4 years!

All those in favor say Aye!

I am posting to do my part and let people know about the two upcoming congressional seat special elections. I didn't find out about this until far too recently - fewer people know about this than you think. If we get the word out, we may be able to flip the house of reps by April 1st!

To flip the house of reps, the following democratic candidates are running:

Gay Valimont (FL-1, representing Pensacola, Navarre, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, etc.) - https://gayforcongress.com/

• Please note FL-1 has more veterans than any other district in Florida. Gay Valimont has been fighting hard to support veterans in this district, especially now with the 40% projected cut to VA services. She promises to work night and day to build a full service VA hospital in her district if elected. Currently, their VA is running at 140% capacity and worsening in light of recent events. If you know veterans in this area, let them know about her!

Josh Weil (FL- 6, representing Daytona Beach, South Saint Augustine, and Palm Coast, Outer Ocala, Leesburg, and Sanford, etc.) - https://joshweil.us/

Reach out to Floridians, and let people know about it! Ask any republicans or undecided voters you know to consider voting blue, just for this special election, purely as a tactical vote; the narrower congress is, the less comfortable our politicians get, meaning they will have to work faster to bring tangible benefits to struggling americans rather than wasting time on culture / trade wars that ultimately gamble with our support funds for veterans, social security, and the cost of everyday goods like groceries and gas.

I'll reiterate, reach out to fed workers, Floridians, anyone hurting from economic uncertainty and the skyrocketting costs of everyday expenses due to this fruitless trade war with our allies and ask them to consider supporting the strategic vote this upcoming special election.

Thanks y'all. Keep fighting the good fight.

Hey all! Love what you guys are doing

I just think there is one major strategic win that the protests I've seen (both in person and online) have largely left off the table.

I'll just call it "patriotism overload". Now I know many of us might not be feeling particularly patriotic right now, but I still think it is a major optics win that

1. Wins over more politically unengaged people not traditionally sympathetic to left leaning causes

2. Makes it WAYYY more difficult for conservatives to drive the negatives up on what we're doing, which is their entire strategy

3. Wins back patriotism for the left in a way that stands for the best ideas and parts of America that has led to the wins we have had. Being pro-America can mean you stand for the core ideas and values that will drive us into a good future rather than letting the bad parts of our past drive our identity as a nation

Like I'm imagining protests all over the US where people show up waving an overwhelming amount of American flags, waving signs about the constitution, quotes from the federalist papers, etc, and lots of people wearing powdered wigs.

I know it sounds ridiculous and over the top but that's the point. Nobody expects it from us, meaning the slightly ridiculous nature of it will get more media attention which is one of the main points of peaceful protests. I think all conservative attacks will fall flat, and a lot of "normie" unengaged people politically will think it's cool. It's hard for me to see a downside here that isn't "some people will feel icky about being patriotic". Which like, fair but do it to save democracy and protect the rights of the people you care about

Feel free to leave your thoughts and criticisms below.

Why are these former presidents so quiet, and why are they not helping lead the charge with these protests? I maybe answering my own question here, is it because they already got theirs? That they also belong in the same club as Trump and all these Nazi goons.

I’m happy to be proven wrong - but have not seen or heard a peep from them.

Hello There! I hope you all are having an amazing day today. Sadly this may upset a few people as it has me.

Donald Trump ignores a court order preventing the transfer of trans women from women's prison facilities to men's. All to satisfy his delusional desires to blame a minority for the woes of society and to distract from his take over of America.

These women suffer because of Trump, the exact details are detailed in the news article by The Guardian which I will post the link to at the bottom for you to read at your own discretion.

This, his ignoring of TOR's and his disregard for the rule of law and aggression against America and its allies; how much longer are we the people going to sit by and let him and his cronies destroy our lives and our nation? How much longer must we tolerate this? How much longer until we realise that he has 0 intentions on upholding the rule of law? How much longer must we allow him to get away with crimes against the nation and humanity?

I want people to see this and ask themselves these questions and more and come-up with their own conclusions.
