I cannot believe that I keep seeing threads of people encouraging others to show up and start trouble at Trump's upcoming birthday parade. It's a horribly bad idea.

1. Trump is a narcissists and thrives on attention. Showing up to protest him will only feed into his delusion that he's a persecuted messiah. Instead, give him no attention. Small crowd sizes are the biggest blows to his ego.

2. Anyone showing up is going to be used to inflate crowd size numbers. Trump has had photos doctored before to show more people attending that don't exist. I would not put it past him to have videos and photos doctored to look like he's being supported. Do not give him reasons to make himself look good, even if they are lies.

3. Even if people want an incident to occur to make Trump and the military look bad, it's still putting people at risk or be the catalyst of him declaring martial law. Those organizing the actual parade or working alongside it have the opportunity to do thier own means of resistance without protesters trying to bait the military into taking shots.

4. MAGA is going to be there in mass and most cannot wait to have an excuse to shoot someone in 'self defense' or maim someone. They have a persecution complex. Do not validate thier worldview that they are a persecuted minority. Do not debate them, they are looking for a fight. Ignore them.

Honestly the best thing to do is either have a generalized strike/economic blackout on that day and/or organize a counter protest away from the parade. This will draw attention away from the parade which Trump will hate. For the love of God, DO NOT ENCOURAGE ACTS OF VIOLENCE on this day! Elon has the Reddit CEO in his pocket and you risk actual jail time when posting threats to the POTUS. So be careful.

I can't help but feel like this is a big honey pot being set up by the feds. Don't get caught in it. Be smart and stay organized.

I know it’s a Wikipedia link, but it’s hard to find proper lists anywhere else. This shows that our anger is universal and will increase. Keep fighting!!!

The Los Angeles Dodgers—Jackie Robinson’s team, the team of Ebbets Field, of resistance, of breaking barriers—just stepped into the White House and gave legitimacy to a man unraveling American democracy before our eyes.

They stood and smiled next to a president who jails his critics. Who has weaponized the justice system against political enemies. Who uses tariffs not to protect workers but to punish dissent. Who spreads hate, fear, and lies like wildfire.

This isn’t tradition. This isn’t “just a team visit.” This is normalization. This is appeasement.

And if you love baseball, you should be furious.

Because baseball has always been more than a game. It’s been a mirror of who we are. It broke the color line before the country did. It stood tall through world wars, recessions, and reckonings. And now? The Dodgers—one of the most iconic franchises in the sport—just handed their legacy to an authoritarian regime for a photo op.

Let’s talk about history.

In 1936, American athletes went to Berlin and saluted Hitler. They said it was about sport. They said it was apolitical. In 1973, Chile’s elites posed with Pinochet as his military rounded up and tortured dissidents. In 1940s Italy, celebrities played along while Mussolini crushed civil rights and censored truth.

They all told themselves they were “just following tradition.” They all believed they were above the politics of their time. And every one of them was swallowed by the moment they refused to confront.

That’s what the Dodgers just did.

This wasn’t silence. It was a statement: That this regime is acceptable. That there’s no line too far. That money, comfort, and access matter more than truth, justice, and democracy.

And for any baseball fan who still believes in the soul of this game? You should feel betrayed.

Because baseball isn’t about power. It’s about people. It’s about resistance, pride, unity, and courage.

The Dodgers had a chance to make history—by refusing to be part of the lie. Instead, they became the lie.

They didn’t just fail us. They failed everything this game is supposed to stand for.

Every bat they swing, every jersey they sell, every “Dodger Blue” banner they wave now carries the stain of this moment.

So don’t tell me to “stick to sports.” Don’t tell me “it’s just a tradition.” Don’t ask for applause when you stand shoulder to shoulder with fascism.

Because when you stand with tyranny, you stand against your fans. Against your history. Against the very spirit of this game.

We will not forget.

This would be noticeable from higher views, and would show your coordination and love for the country, and can be used in symbolic ways. (The country is for the people!)

Response to https://reddit.com/r/50501/comments/1jttu7z/april_19th_reclaim_our_patriotism/ and other similar posts saying to wear red/white/blue clothes.

Event Page

A new Tesla Dealership is being opened in London, Ontario at the corner of Wonderland and Southdale. We are meeting at the South end of Wonderland past Bradley on April 12th at 1 PM to protest. We want to send a strong message that we do not support a company whose owner is opposed to Canadian sovereignty.

Be prepared for possible rain bring your own signs wear either black or red

THIS IS A PEACEFUL PROTEST ENCOURAGING A BOYCOTT STAY ON THE SIDEWALK

Tesla Takedown is a peaceful protest movement. We oppose violence, vandalism and destruction of property. This protest is a lawful exercise of our right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly under Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Hey folks!

Are there groups that are similarly minded that are Canadian grown?

I’m trying to build community in my very conservative area, and woof. I’m struggling. LOL

Thanks 💜

I should caveat i'm neither American nor live in America, but this affects the entire world so we all have a stake in this.

The weak and downplayed reporting on the protests this weekend should show you, if you didn't know already, that even the liberal media in the US is still all billionaire owned and not on the side of regular people.

Wealthy liberals will always choose fascism over more working people friendly politics. They may find fascism distasteful, but anything remotely resembling socialism is a threat to their wealth and that is totally unacceptable. They will fight with a billion dollars if it saves them a billion +1 dollar.

Keep fighting, and fight hard. Not only your fellow countrymen, but the rest of the world needs you to. History will be on your side.

And to end the amateurish prep talk, here's a famous quote:

Hitler confessed in retrospect: Only one thing could have broken our movement — if the adversary had understood its principle and from the first day had smashed, with the most extreme brutality, the nucleus of our new movement."

Thank you. I appreciate all the protestors but have a special place in my 💙 for the small town folks who are known to the whole town when they protest

We are building a massive, visible, national rejection of this crisis—and yesterday’s protests are proof that the people—the majority—are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover.

Because let’s be clear:We do not have a functioning democracy anymore.Trump and his billionaire allies have dismantled our system of checks and balances, stacked the courts, silenced dissent, and declared themselves above the law.

This is not politics as usual. This is a hostile takeover by billionaires, corporations, and authoritarian enablers.

They are gutting the country for parts—and selling us out in the process.

April 5 was our 4th national day of action, and it won’t be our last. We are committed to building our peaceful People’s Movement and achieving 3.5% participation. History shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.

Join our Movement at https://www.fiftyfifty.one/, and save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th.

I used to be very involved in the anti-trump movement and filled with hope and optimism. I started losing steam during the election season last year, I think largely due to general personal depression. I have been getting really scared since January but I had little motivation to try to organize or doing anything about it and I didn’t see many people around me doing much either. I was completely losing hope. I didn’t know about 50501 or the protests planned for April 5. Then I saw them on the news yesterday and I cried. I needed that so badly. Thank you so much everyone. I will be there on April 19. I’m in Atlanta so I know it will be big here. You guys are not just helping the country. You are helping me personally with my depression.

I wasn’t sure what flair to use. This is a post to say thank you.

Our own Tank Man... "Tank-Granny!" 🩵 (2nd Photo Credit: Carleton Page)

Actually, this really isn't what it looks like, but it does look pretty cool!

First, thank you everyone - you all were really great about staying on the sidewalk and not going in between parked cars closer to the road. I know it was a new thing, but you all were awesome!!

However, this Tank-Granny incedence was just a fluke thing. This big MAGA-Trump truck came down N.Main St., blaring it's horn, with driver & passenger yelling obscenities out their windows at peaceful protesters on both sides of the street. They approached an intersection in front of the State House, where people were crossing at the crosswalk, so they had to stop.

This woman just waved her sign at them as she was walking on the crosswalk...she was great!! And what a photo opp!

Want to thank everyone who came yesterday, it was a huge turnout, an absolutely amazing day and we couldn't do it without all of you!!

Stay tuned... Next one will be... Saturday, April 19, 2025 3:00pm - 6:00 pm NH State House 107 N. Main Street Concord NH
