Trump is so crass and so obviously evil that he is purely a test of character. This is not an IQ test. This is not an education test. Everybody responds to him according to what they truly value: if what you most value is other people's survival and dignity, you cannot respond to him with anything other than boiling rage.

From resister Henry Shannon on Ig and Bluesky, a great point here.

They wanna raw dog a disabling virus but lose their crap at the thought of basic accountability.

#NorthCarolina Methodists are telling #ICE to GTFO from sacred ground.

Churches and schools have been exempted from law enforcement for a reason, and the ICE thugs achieved nothing but terrorizing preschoolers and their families.

The Methodist conference is joining dozens of other religious groups who are suing over this invasion of their sanctuaries.

From Drew Sheneman

This is sooo fucking petty, which is why it's exactly the right way to make fun of #Trump.

This is what defending the US Constitution looks like: a man filming #ICE criminals, calling out their lies, and yelling things like "Don't come out of your house!" in Spanish to residents of the apartment complex.

This kind of criminal ICE activity is not law enforcement and it should not be treated as such.

Meanwile, Boston comedian Robby Roadsteamer continue to terrorize the terrorists with humor. Here he is bravely crashing a meeting of Proud Boy terrorists in #WashingtonDC.

Another form of action that's also very helpful: you can order "red cards" that have Constitutional rights written in various languages. You can also just download and print paper versions of this. Either way, you can just hand these out to people in businesses. I do. I can tell you, nobody is insulted. They seem to really appreciate that people care.

BTW this is an example of the kind of thing you learn going to protests. Especially if you're in a big city, there will be people handing out materials and even booths for various antifascist groups.

Prior to this I was putting up paper flyers. Those weren't worthless, but many of them got taken down. The ones I put on derelict building stayed up the longest, but I figured just handing stuff to people probably spreads info better. Plus folks can have these in their wallets.

Oh my LORD. 🤣

Thank you #Norway!

Although Pope Leo would probably agree with this, there's no clear evidence he said it.

Etsy is full of pins, friendship bracelets, pendants, decals, and T shirts that say 86 47 in a variety of styles! Call for nonviolently ejecting Trump from the presidency.

Woo hoo it's Friday! In the US that means weekend protests, because motherfuckers are attacking our democracy. 😩 Still, it's a hell of an improvement on doomscrolling.

People all over #Arkansas are going to be out this weekend. They sum it up well here.

Still laughing at this one

Well, that's protest #19 in the books, another #TeslaTakedown. It was spicier than usual, although there was still no violence or property destruction. Of course, as always traffic was heavily in favor of us and showed it with honks and waves and thumbs up signs. Of course, we also got flipped off, including by one driver who decided he needed to flip us off with *both* hands while driving, because who needs a steering wheel anyway?

That's MAGA for you. 🤷🏼♀️ There were also a couple...

@steter
He may have donated $50 million to her (I guess he did?) but overall his attitude and that of many other billionaires is pretty weak sauce, even if they didn't outright support Trump.

WTF, there are people still asking this in 2025? She's literally a national joke.

BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA! DYING 🤣

The National Catholic Reporter is showing the cowards in #media how it's done!

In response to Lindsey Graham leg humping #Trump with a nomination to be #Pope:

"It is imperative, according to canon law, that any candidate is of sound mind.

"Canon 171 §1, n.1 says that 'Those who lack the use of reason are incapable of a valid ecclesiastical election.'

"This, along with not being a baptized Catholic, would rule out President Trump."

This is one reason we do the nonviolent #TeslaTakedown movement instead of any destruction of property. What's even the point?

Meanwhile some of the cops are treating us like we're all going to start throwing Molotov cocktails. Yeah, a bunch of veterans and women in cheeky resistance shirts, and senior citizens, some in wheelchairs, are going to start torching things. 🤦🏼♀️

FFS, a lot of those cops are veterans and we're trying to save the VA.
