I (naively) thought that the affect of the tariffs would sour some folks on Donald. But now I'm seeing this new narrative that Trump is tanking the economy on purpose to lower interest rates in order to more easily pay off the national debt. People telling me I know nothing about economics if I don't think a recession is a good thing. He literally can do NO wrong in their eyes and it's disturbing

A small photo on page 1, with a reference to page 19 where you'll find a meh write up about something or other happening. No reference to or pictures of hundreds of thousands of people gathering. Disgusting. Our local news was much better.

How's everyone else's local coverage?

This was my little crew yesterday. There isn't many of us, but allow me sime context. This is deep blood red MAGA country. Rush Limbaugh's hometown of Cape Girardeau, MO. Trump carried 80% of the vote here. There were multiple tornadoes that touched down in the area this week, and we have experienced over 10" of rain in the past 24 hours. We are few, but we are proud to be part of the movement to take back our democracy!

We had bigger plans but the chips were down. We are looking forward to 4/19!

TO THE STREETS

Tehachapi CA went from 40 protesters to over 300 today! The locals magas lost their minds, posting all over FB that we must have been bussed in and were getting paid!!

The truckers were wild! No holding back support today!

The vibe was so positive 90/10 with a smattering of fuck yous, a bunch of coal rolls by the local militia-wannabes and one really angry man.

But the absolute level of support was unprecedented for this town.

It’s happening. People are waking up! ✊🏼❤️🙏🏽

I may just be a random person on the internet. I'm not from the US.

In my work I do often work with tourists from the US. It has been very hard to tour you guys around for the past few years. Just explaining about my country and my city, I've been able to see many Americans just melt away during my hour and a half tours. Its been tough seeing the quiet desperation behind the eyes of many.

You have not only just risen up to stand and fight for what you think is right. You have done much more than that. You have taken the first step of not taking the abuse no more. You have just shown the world you are no longer able to just sit idly by and do nothing.

You came out in numbers at the first nationwide protest. Your media may not be covering it all too much nationally yet (or correct me if I'm wrong). But its on the news in my country. I am betting you it is on the news all around the world too. And please keep this momentum going!

You have not only inspired many more that share your values that couldn't go to these protests or didn't believe in these protests. You have inspired many more souls to speak up and root for your cause. I don't often speak on socials or even mingle in debates. But this time I felt I needed to speak out in support of what you are doing.

I am rooting for each and everyone of you. Seeing those images, seeing those videos of you guys out en masse. That's the Americans I grew up looking up to as a European with shared western values. Its good to see those values are still there and you guys are fighting for them. Not only for yourselves...

With all the negativity you guys have been receiving on the subs everywhere, I felt the need to give you guys this heartfelt message from someone that dearly cares about the state of your country and the world as a whole.

Awaken that French fighting spirit in your blood, Show them and anyone unwilling to listen, what Freedom really means. You are in control of the country you live in and this is the way to get that back!

In my country it's often said; "we either have to pump together or drown together". Meaning we don't have to agree but we do have to solve this together. (we just have mother nature to remind us of this)

(If any of this message comes of condescending I apologize for this beforehand. English is not my native tongue and my writing style is rather direct, one of the few reasons I rather stay quiet.)

We are building a massive, visible, national rejection of this crisis—and today’s numbers 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.

They are disappearing people, attacking universities and the free press, and purging agencies meant to protect the people—from the environment to civil rights to public health.

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.

They are not leaders. They are traitors to the people of this country.

So we are building a People’s Movement. And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.

But we have to earn it. And we have to fight for it.

We may no longer have a functioning democracy—but we still have a chance to restore it. The window is closing though. And we are the ones who must rise to meet this moment.

So here’s what you can do: 📱 Use the 5 Calls app or Resist Bot to contact your elected officials—every single day.

🎤 Demand town halls. Show up at their public appearances.

🚫 Boycott the corporations funding this hostile takeover.

🗣️ Talk to your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. Don’t let them sleep through this moment.

📸 Share protest footage, updates, and facts on social media. Amplify the truth—because the billionaires are trying to drown it out.

📲 And follow us to stay connected, get updates, and join future actions.

We are not alone. We are not powerless. And we are not backing down.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

Let’s do this. #nokings #peoplesmovement #50501 #50501movement #april5th #april19
