Look at the French, at the Serbians, they shut down the country. The protests have to be disruptive by nature otherwise you’re not really achieving anything, they’re still spewing out executive orders and going against everything the legal framework and safeguards you’re supposed to have stand for. That means not waiting for the weekend, but shutting down main streets during the week. Civil disobedience across the entire country to cripple it.

The problem I see unfortunately is apathy, 33% actively want this administration, 33% would rather hide in the basement and hope for the best, and I’m not sure the other 33% have the stomach for it. Trump and his handlers would love nothing more than mass protests to declare an emergency. The question is, do you have the stomach for a fight, or hope that somehow there maybe future elections.

Sorry for the rant! But this is a leftist outsiders perspective.

To my American brothers and sisters here. You need to stop being nice, you need to stop waiting for an imaginary red line to be crossed before you take mass action. That red line passed a long time ago. I am someone from a country with a history of violence, and if you don’t act now your options will end up being violence or a techno fascist state. Cripple the country, general strikes, mass protests! . I genuinely hope I don’t come across as condescending, I’ve protested in vain countless times in my country, to no avail. But you have the numbers!.

Sincerely a concerned friend of the real America.

At this point the administration might as well send out the Proud Boys and KKK and just start clubbing people to death. Decimating the CDC, the brain worm actively waging a war on vaccines, defunding essential programs… It’s insane.

I see Terry Pratchett, I upvote! GNU

That’s why. AIPAC Exactly, but the American Evangelicals need a shoutout here as well, their unwavering support for Israel to bring about the rapture is also a massive factor.

Thank you brother 🙏

Honestly I understand what you mean, for me it was the opposite, my family and close friends had been telling me about my abuse for decades. So when I finally admitted I owned the word Alcoholic. I’m a happily recovering one. Good on you for managing!

In exchange, the US would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that were frozen more than a decade ago, NBC said.

To whom, there are two “governments” there. After more than a year of genocide, and Hamas are still around, do they not think this will encourage the Palestinian youths to take up arms and fight to the death? Trump can fuck off with his bullshit “Riveira” plans.

Alcohol isn’t everyone’s friend, I was an alcoholic at 18, and refused to acknowlege that fact and kept denying it in the face of all the evidence. When I finally asked for help and quit drinking at 45, I realised how much of a mess I’d made of my life. Thankfully I’ve been sober since (going on 7 years now). Addiction is not a joke people.

Sure people act violently, it’s in our nature, but when a “revered” figure calls for violence, it’s more than likely many more people will act on it.

Surley you can’t be serious! ;).

I clicked on the app link on the main page, and it gives a list of apps, some which collext.

Cheers, yeah I edited the title to say that basically, I’ll test them out and see which i prefer.

Thanks

Thanks!

As I’ve just read,Thunder is still being tweaked, I’m also on android, and ideally prefer an app that doesn’t collect data. I guess it’ll be trial and error for a while. Thanks.

Thanks, I’ve been looking at them, the only reason I decided against Boost is because it collects data. If I find Thunder to be not so user friendly I’llprobably switch.

Thank you, much appreciated.

The real hunger games, coming to an immigrant community near you soon!

I actually got that, and that’s why I mentioned common sense. Absolute freedom of speech cannot exisit in a world within most legal frameworks because people cannot be trusted to not act on violent rhetoric. ( January 6’s attack on the US capitol is a prime example of the consequences of that).
