This is probably only a test of the waters. It would not surprise me if Cuba was next, and Panama, and Greenland, and Canada… I don’t want this injustice. Potato supreme made a monster.

Organized boycotts. Take down one business at a time or at least scare the shareholders.
Yes, this is exactly how to dismantle a regime.
However, I don’t think Americans have the commitment or determination.
Like you need 5% of the population who regularly use Facebook and buy from Amazon to stop completely, and indefinitely.
We cancelled Amazon new year’s day. Hope there’s more like us.
Anarchism.
Build up local community and resources, learn skills, connect with unions.
And most importantly agitate, educate, convert others.
Get involved and build resilience in your local community.

Not voting for imperialist candidates
So all of the major party ones. Got it.
In that case: vote for the least imperialist candidates.
The only functional answer is a general strike. I (and I think a significant portion of Americans) are more than ready for this, but it’s a classic prisoner’s dilemma - we need credible organization and momentum.
This administration will ignore all protests because they (rightly) understand that if nobody stops them, there are no consequences. Likewise they have already shown they will ignore the Supreme Court or Congress as needed (to the extent they aren’t already stacked with sycophant enablers).
Further, Trump and Stephen Miller have been searching for an excuse to declare martial law since probably before Trump was sworn in, and violence will only accelerate the fascist takeover. There are few good options here.
If an organization would support families during the strike it would be much more of a reality. Maybe a People’s Union of sorts.
Why would there need to be a fascist takeover? They were on the stage at Trump’s last reelection, proud billionaires, many of them, smiling and laughing and applauding.
And that’s what they reveal in public, just imagine behind the scenes, money machine goes brrrrrrrr
“Fascist takeover” occurred some time before Citizens United (money=free speech, corporations are people), I’m not sure exactly when.
Why do you think violence would accelerate things? They don’t need the violence to be real to react to it, so if it would accelerate things for them they would just do it. Likewise, protest or strikes aren’t going to magically be treated as peaceful. They’ll just call it an insurrection regardless. . It’s why a lot of people hesitate to act. There’s a big difference between a protest where your local police department might use tear gas if you stick around after they tell you to leave and a protest where the president is encouraging random nut jobs to hit you with a car, has encouraged your police department to shoot you, and is sending the national guard to shoot you.
Exactly. Trump has already declared people photographing ICE, for instance, are ‘domestic terrorists’. He can make up whatever excuse he wants for martial law.
“Not enough people in Chicago are wearing MAGA hats. They’re not patriotic enough. They’re enemies of the state. Therefore, I’m declaring martial law”.
That sounds like I’m trying to make a joke, but I honestly wouldn’t put it past him.
Don’t wait for it to be declared, then figure out how to react. Organise general strikes to demand congress impeach him, and the rest of his bloodthirsty sideshow freaks.
Your best bet is the courts. Even the Supreme Court realizes they can only defend so much, and lower courts have been challenging them more aggressively. There are a lot more District & Superior Court justices that will agree with you that essentially cannot be impeached.
If you’re paying close attention, you’ll be aware of the symptoms of frontotemporal dementia and how closely the Pedo-in-Chief’s behavior aligns with those symptoms.
The professional medical accounts that I’ve seen commenting on it are all of the opinion that he’s not likely to live to see the summer.
If that comes to be, then the mid-term elections in November will be exceptionally important.
It’s the worst best thing that could happen. The midterms stop becoming about Mango Mussolini and Republicans unite in their mourning, supporting their candidates to “make things right again.”
I wish for his death every single day, but I feel like it would actually help Republicans for the midterms. :/
It remains to be seen, but I do think it’s worth remembering who paid for Vance to be next-in-line. Vance is a sock puppet.
The question before the voters this November is whether we’re ready to participate with the rest of the human race in trying to live in the 21st century, rather than just recreating all the worst parts of the 20th.
Asked and answered.
Yes, it’s worth asking again. But we all knew who trump was in 2024 and where he wanted to take the country. I’m in red red country. They fucking love everything he’s doing and don’t care at all about Epstein and prices. It’s just Kool aid for everyone.
General strike
Keep your pitchfork sharp.
Gardening, gold, guns
The most effective non-violent action we can take is to organize a General Strike, joining your local mutual aid groups, and reading Full Spectrum Resistance for more details.
The country would be brought to its knees if suddenly deprived of profit and labor. That tactic was extremely effective in Chile in 2019, and had they not fallen for the trick of liberal reform, they would’ve had a successful revolution on their hands with virtually no bloodshed.
If you aren’t in a union (or even if you are, it’s worth dual-carding), please consider joining the IWW to unionize your workplace (bonus: you’ll get higher wages, better benefits, and more time off if you succeed!) to strengthen a general strike if we manage to enact one, as most unions have a strike fund that can supplement your income during a general strike to make it more financially bearable (you should also save as much money as you can reasonably do, so it can also be used to keep yourself afloat during a strike).
And for our international friends, you should join one as well, as fascism is gaining momentum globally. If your country isn’t listed below, just contact the IWW directly in the link above, and they’ll help you set up a new local branch.
Organize, unionize and strike
America needs a massive labour strike
For US citizens, are you totally disillusioned from contacting your representatives? this action was drilled into me from an early age as an effective approach but not sure what sentiments are in the US.
This is obviously many levels less important than organised worker resistance etc.
Most people’s representatives are either in favor of this shit (that goes for both R and D), or too low level to have any significant impact
You’d be basically revolting against the capitalist ruling class, so organize and go on strike is a tried and true tactic.
