- Large protests are expected across the U.S. on Saturday to express voice discontent with President Trump’s administration.
- Organizers aim to make the protests accessible by holding events in many places, including small towns.
- The protests reflect growing momentum and dissatisfaction with Trump’s policies on immigration, transgender rights, and the firing of federal workers.
Stock market crashing -> now a reason for corporate interests to align with resistance -> finally hearing about protests in mainstream media
To begin with, Franco was not strictly comparable with Hitler or Mussolini. His rising was a military mutiny backed up by the aristocracy and the Church, and in the main, especially at the beginning, it was an attempt not so much to impose Fascism as to restore feudalism. This meant that Franco had against him not only the working class but also various sections of the liberal bourgeoisie—the very people who are the supporters of Fascism when it appears in a more modern form.
From Orwell’s “Homage to Catalonia”, emphasizes added.
The bourgeoisie aligning to the resistance has happened before. Now, make no mistake: they will betray the movement as soon as it’s in their interests to do so. Don’t trust them past the current crisis.
Don’t even trust them now. Nothing has happened yet. We can say that they took our side after MAGA is out of power and the extremist apparatus that supported them is totally destroyed.
If there’s one lesson we can learn from Trump, it’s that it’s much easier to destroy something than it is to build it. IF we gain power again, we need to take that lesson to heart, and turn it against the fascists who gleefully applied it to the American people, and the rest of the democratic world.
It’s fascinatingly dumb how short-sighted they are. Do they like having money? People deported, in jail, dead, unemployed, homeless can’t buy their stuff. A delusional hope of feeding off government money only works until the government no longer has a use for you, or decides to just take you over and you become part of the government.
It is in their best interests to support the masses, but they can’t ever see past 3 months in the future.
Eventually! Yes! I got 3 billion dollars!.. Hmm tasty! How much is that Apple my fellow citizen?..its 2 billion dollars please!
Last time I checked police depended on pensions too and they are invested
congress almost never touches police funding at all, because they are useful tools.
Emphasis on the “tools”
Remember, folks: avoid attempts by bad actors to turn your peaceful legal protest into a riot, 47’s itching for an excuse to invoke martial law and seize more power. Disable biometrics on any phone you bring. Make sure someone knows where you’re going and is waiting to hear you made it home. Don’t post pictures or videos that identify people, who may be risking a lot more than you by being there. You don’t want to be the reason ICE disappears someone. Protect yourself from teargas but also from plain old sunburn and dehydration.
Itching, he wants to invoke it, using specifically the insurrection act of 1807, tomorrow they may push it earlier then 90 days since it was always part of project 2025 and also due the senate most likely passing a bill to limit his power for tariff by needing approval from them to be used, so they enact it just a bit earlier to make sure national emergency still exist. Don’t be surprised if it is invoked as this was always planned as part of project 2025.
Pull a Gandhi and sit and let them get recorded beating and arresting people standing still
Problem is, 47, his henches, the entire GOP and cops in general have zero ability to feel shame or remorse, and nobody who does has the power to stop them. I think protesting peacefully but being ready to run and scatter seems to increase the likelihood you’ll live to protest again.
Not to mention: if the content doesn’t sell ad impressions, legacy media isn’t going to give a shit.
it really doesn’t matter because Trump doesn’t care about or relate to actual fact for anything. HOWEVER, it is critically important that you get to the protest and start connecting to other protestors on Signal before the crackdown happens
Signal? Found Hegseth, guys!
We had an anti-Trump protest in Alabama. In ALABAMA. And this wasn’t mostly college-aged liberals. It was primarily older white people, the republican core demographic. If we, by some miracle, make it through the next three and a half years, the Republicans are going to suffer historical losses across the board.
They are going to let the protests grow. By next summer, there will be massive protests about all sorts of bad stuff. Just pick your issue, there will be a protest for it. Most cities will have multiple mass protests over multiple issues simultaneously.
HitlerPig will encourage his RedHats to stir up some standard street violence, then send in the authorities to quell the violence with ferocious lethal violence. Many will die.
He will use that to justify Martial Law and suspend elections for the first time in American history. He can’t afford to allow the House or the Srnate to flip, and give the Drmocrats control of investigative committees with subpoena and arrest powers.
they have used agitators in the past before too during his 1st term. there is one right winger influencer his shtick is to agitate blm and these types of protests.
the Republicans are going to suffer historical losses across the board.
No, no they’re not. Because they are and will continue to gerrymander and rig to ensure that they stay in power.
They did after the Great Depression. The tariffs Trump is implemented have a good chance of creating a Depression.
They aren’t changing any Trumpist minds. They just aren’t. The stock market could reach zero valuation and theyd still be shilling for Trump.
While youre right, the MAGA core is a small portion of US voters. Even if it was half the Republican voters, thats about 15% of total US voters. They are a minority that pretends to make up 90% of the population. Get the turnout up and convince those brainwashed by Fox news and you got yourself a 70-30 win.
Even the neo-Nazis are questioning Trump. Nick Fuentes seemed frustrated with him.
Was Fuentes’ income somehow negatively impacted by Trump’s shenanigans?
Someone said that he might’ve been upset because Trump is buddies with Netanyahu.
Not possible as long as 90% of the public just need to be told that trans people are evil. I’m sorry man. I’m glad you’re optimistic but I’m increasingly convinced this is going to end in violence.
Oh Im absolutely convinced this is going to end in either violence (which would be the better alternative) or a dictatorship enslaving the majority of the US population for corporate profit while waging war as a side hustle. I was just commenting within the scenario of elections in 4 years, which will not happen. Fascists dont give up power for democratic reasons.
I don’t want it to end in violence but with the really bad recession or even depression that is headed our way… there’s no way to keep people together over that. Too many people will lose too much.
And even worse? They’re losing it all while the offending political party mocks and belittles them. Yeah, it’s gonna get bad. They fly Trump flags in front of their houses and wear the merch and decorate their offices with it so…
It won’t be hard for the resistance to find them.
I think a lot of the working-class Trump voters will protest once the economy gets bad enough. Not with us, but I don’t think they’ll be able to take it when enough of them lose their jobs.
all those farms going under, and being bought out by tyson and other mega-corp farms. and they still think he would do the right thing. remember the soybean tariffs.
about 15% of total US voters
pretty easy purge
I’m going to one and so should you. Fuck these fascists.
I’m going!
Me, too.
Same here!
I’m going too! Making some puppets to hold signs with in support of PBS funding and unions. I recently learned how to work with felt and want to use my new skill for good.
I’m thinking signs could be:
“Have you learned NOTHING from sesame Street?”
“This is not very Mr. Rogers of you Donald”
“That’s not how we treat our neighbors” with a cutout of Mr. Rogers
“Even puppets can recognize that clown”
any additional ideas welcome!
Make a puppet of Trump and dress up like Putin. Or Musk, if that’s easier.

SHARPIE THE PHONE NUMBER OF YOUR LOCAL LEGAL COUNCIL NON PROFIT ON YOUR BODY

Bonus points: bring a mini sharpie to mark it on others.
LEAVE YOUR PHONE AT HOME
I just want to note that one of the key links on the NLG site, under Protest Tools > Legal Hotlines, is broken. (The “Chapter Page” link goes to a broken draft version.) If you went to that site specifically to find a local chapter’s phone number to write, the correct link to that page is: https://www.nlg.org/chapters/
Here’s a map with the protests listed https://www.mobilize.us/map/?date=2025-04-05T05%3A00%3A00.000Z&lat=38.76&lon=-90.44&zoom=2
This map is missing the one planned for Cal Anderson Park in Seattle, which is likely to be the biggest in the area (popular protest location).
I think people can add events if you’d like. But yeah it’s definitely not exhaustive.
Block the access roads to Mar-a-Lago
The weird ass trump supporters already do that every day still like the election is still happening. It’s a cult I swear. They’re on the fucking overpass waving flags constantly.
I checked the map, the closest protest seems to be a government building in west palm.
I’ll be in Seattle! See you there!!
Glad there is a movement.
I’ll see you all there!!! Hands Off!
Gonna be my first protest. Was gonna go for Canada but now it feels more like a protest for every country besides Russia and North Korea…
Is it in bad taste to blast this the whole time? https://youtu.be/BlIREcAu0PI
Can’t wait to see the democrats pull a January 6th.
It will be just as lame.
What is this ‘movement bubbling up’ BS? A jaccuzi?
In Europe there would be fire and blood on the streets if anything remotely resembling the US takes place.
Americans are a bunch of weak pussies.
Let the downvotes rain!You’re not wrong. We need riots weeks ago.
Don’t let your dreams be dreams
Half of Paris would already be ash.
Gotta start somewhere I guess
Sure, no rush, it’s only a little fascism.
Because staging a coup based on lies is the same as protesting against a fascist regime based on lies? Youre a real smart one arent you?
One was for corruption and fascism
