Nonviolence worked against the Nazis.
A million soldiers non violently stormed the beaches at Normandy.
It’s crazy that non violence works so well against people trying to kill.

So glad that No Kings Day protest stopped Trump in his tracks. One day of protest on a convenient weekend with signs and a catchy chant sure stopped them.
They are trying to strip your rights and take over your country every day of every week non-stop for 6 months now. You have to fight back with the same intensity. A few protests with signs have not stopped them, and will not ever stop them. They don't care how far you walk down Main St. You have to actually protest. Look at the French. They dump manure in the streets. They block traffic and commerce.
Organize. Strike. Protest. Resist. Or you'll have nothing left.
Amen.
Oh, look. More human rights violations.
I fucking hate this utter shithole of a country and want to leave but I can’t afford to
That's the point
