I think most people feel powerless which leads to hopelessness. In order for real change to happen at this stage, we need a bigger movement. General strike, yes! Blackout Friday, yes! Targeted and sustained boycotts of large corporations has to be a part of this while stressing the importance of supporting our local small businesses. Communities must come together. People need to know how to participate and to feel they are part of something. Protesting brings people together. We are doing everything right, we just have to do more of it with more people .
Thank you 50501. I know far too many people who feel helpless and don't know what to do as our democracy is being systematically destroyed. Keep going.
It’s very difficult not to become desensitized. The volume of insanely bad news being firehosed at us every day just becomes too much to process. I’m so glad for this organization that helps me to still feel connected and not alone and gives me the energy and motivation to keep resisting. Thanks for your continued labor on our behalf.
THE FIGHT TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY IS NOT OVER! IMPERATIVE NEXT STEPS!!!
No Kings Day was a spectacular display of Solidarity! Great to see the resistance growing but the fight to save our democracy is far from over. The Resistance Must Unite!
We are struggling to meet our goal to bring down the tRump. All of our resistance efforts have failed. Seven million just isn't enough! We only need a mere 3.5% or 11 million American citizens exhibiting ongoing daily SUSTAINED resistance to meet this goal. Going to a protest every few months is not going to accomplish anything! We must choose to do something every day to show that we want our democracy back. Resistance United gives everyone opportunities and options to build and support the new Civil Rights Movement daily!
STEP 1) Spread the Word - Warn everyone about the evil coming out of the White House. Make our resistance actions go viral!
There is no movement without Calls for Action! We must become vigilant about Spreading the Word. Share your own stories about how the tRump's brutal cuts effect you. Read and share the links throughout this article. Make them go viral! They give you something to talk about and explain why everyone should be supporting this New Civil Rights Movement.
Senator Sanders talks about the disparities between the MAGA rich and the average American. The numbers are outrageous! The billionaire oligarchs must pay their employees fair wages and pay the same taxes we do!
STEP 2) STOP SHOPPING and spending money unnecessarily! Quit making the billionaire oligarchs richer! They are the true rulers of this country. They control how the government is run. They underpay their workers and hog all the wealth for themselves! We must demand better wages and the end of the administration from hell!!! Boycott billionaire chain businesses and they themselves will call for the tRump's resignation!
We can't do everything, so we're giving you options. Use the lists below to find ways to resist everyday. If you can support these economic resistance movements:
STEP 3) OCCUPY DC to continue to show the world that the American Stands United!
OCCUPY DC is a sustained occupation of the nation’s capital. The vision is to bring millions of people to DC to “surround the White House; surround the Capitol; and surround the Supreme Court” everyday, in a sustained, non-violent way, beginning Nov 5, and lasting until the Trump regime falls. This IS NOT a one day march or rally.
PROTESTS show the world we're willing to stand up for our civil rights! Many communities have weekly protest that are just as important as our mass protests. Find a chapter near you.
SLOWING DOWN THE ECONOMY is a safe and powerful way to resist for those can't risk their jobs or are afraid to attend a protest.
OCCUPING DC is for our brave civilian heroes and peaceful warriors willing to go all out to save our democracy!
There are more options below. Which option is best for you?
These vital next steps are the most powerful ways to support the Anti-tRump / Fight the Oligarchs Resistance Movements:
To hit that magic amount of 3.5 % of the population number in protest we MUST bring out ANOTHER 7 million in PROTEST against this administration 😎Is this CLEAR ENOUGH, NOW❓
I see there are many people, not the majority, supporting this. They don't know history, they don't read widely, and they believe what their chosen media sources tell them. When this militarization is embraced by those people, who see it as only affecting someone else and not them, it empowers the creeping Trump authoritarian agenda and the increasingly aggressive methods they're using.
The general feeling of powerlessness is pervasive, since people don't understand the power they actually have - through voting, through protesting, through boycotts. They need a strong voice.
I live in Los Angeles, California, where ICE first began its attacks on people. Where Trump thought federalizing our National Guard and sending in Marines on false pretenses would make us cower. It's only made us more angry. CPB is now more pervasive, with Bovino actually showing up at a press conference led by Gavin Newsom at the Japanese American History Museum, a place noted for its education precisely against the vilification of "the other" and the tactics used to target them.
Newsom is standing firm and pushing back against Trump. We have Proposition 50, which will allow redistricting in response to Texas's actions. It will pass. Trump is sending "election monitors" and the state is responding with monitors to monitor these "monitors" to make sure they comply with state election law.
I am energized by Newsom's actions - that he won't back down even when threatened, that he is more than just a governor for California, but a spokesperson for everyone who is against the Trump fascism that is no longer creeping, but steamrolling our democracy.
Now we have to be even more vigilant to ensure we have midterm elections.
This is how we defeat the Demented Demonic Destructor of Democracy and his Evil Oligarchs! Halloween version -
In the spirit of the Halloween / Dia de los Muertos holiday season! The most terrifyingly evil Halloween display I have ever seen because this represents our true reality nightmare horror show! Read:
Feeling helpless is a feeling in reaction to fear. And like all feelings, it is fickle enough to respond to whatever you are thinking. Thoughts fuel fear and fear =hopelessness and helplessness and inactivity. That’s the goal of fear: to keep you listless and out of control. We are always in control of how we think and how we think controls our outcomes. This is why we must remain as positive as possible for positivity really is a collective force. We witnessed this in the last King’s March and we left feeling empowered and not alone. What we are witnessing in our government is a force of collective Evil that we call Authoritarianism that we can combat with a collective force of Good (I know that sounds simple but it IS simple in this context). Refuse to quit. Refuse to be helpless.Refuse to fear the Evil. Connected, collectively, we are stronger than any Evil this GOP has. We Are The Force. Pass it on.
For the most part, I do not think Americans are becoming desensitized. Most Americans everywhere are racist and have really never cared very much about minority groups whether darker skinned or simply poor.
Those who had already been concerned about these things are still so. Those who didn't care, still don't.
I did not know they were moving border patrol officers around to ICE outposts. I also didn’t know that Miller’s target was 3000 a day. HORRIFIC— what to do, what to do!?!? Just learned about whistle brigades. Will seek training there as well as contact local community church actively supporting targeted communities. Will also attend either INDIVISIBLE or 50501 groups in area.

So they're turning America into Germany 1943...
I hope the MAGA's are happy.
Arm yourselves before it's too late and they outlaw guns...
When this type of policing doesn't affect you or anyone you know, people are desensitized to these raids and practices. Beware America!!!!

What if anything can stop the tech takeover of the economy; and does anybody think "the bunker" is being refitted as the regime's tech control center?
I just heard 3 military helicopters fly overhead just outside Chicago city limits.
Someone needs ro put a Stop this right now!
Not desensitized, but fatigued and sick of violations to the Constitution.
For the most part, I do not think Americans are becoming desensitized. Most Americans everywhere are racist and have really never cared very much about minority groups whether darker skinned or simply poor.
Those who had already been concerned about these things are still so. Those who didn't care, still don't.
