Still waiting for US citizens to organize a nationwide strike that doesn’t end until ICE terror ends. What’s it gonna take?
Some very good organization. That’s a lot of people which means a lot of room for error.
I agree, but if given the choice between error and fascism, I’ll take error.
Then get out there and organize. It takes you.
Thankfully, I’m not from the USA nor will I ever travel there again.
I will, however, work against the interests of its long-running bloody empire.
The system is rigged against this. The majority are 2 weeks away from lights out or kicked out.
2 weeks is probably an optimistic time frame
A huge percentage of unions in Minnesota are reporting not being able to pay rent next week.
So fight off the ones that would kick people out and replace the ones that would turn the lights off.
“Just change the whole economic and governmental system you live under”
Yes, exactly, now you get it.
It’s either that or waiting for the fascists to murder you. So get to it.
“Just move a mountain with your hands” you first bud
I’m not American so I can’t help directly.
Still, while I obviously can’t write here what I’m doing, I’m confident it qualifies as “me going first”. If we were with more people, we could do more than make the news a couple times per year.
So… you next?
That is the argument everytime they try to tell people not to vote. Which is not only contradictory it’s just delusional.
The problem is that most of us that would protest are not in a financial position to do so. If I participate in a work strike, I won’t make the money I need to pay my bills, I’ll be evicted, I’ll go hungry, I won’t be able to feed the family or the pets I will go destitute long before actual change happens. I’m not just making sacrifices, I am making that decision for my whole family. And that’s just the surface level changes. I cannot afford to leave where I am currently. I believe that is all by design and I am not even close to the minority situation.
I guess US citizens are then in a financial situation similar to what US foreign policy has encouraged in several regions of the world.
Anyone can downvote all they want, but US interventionism has had terrible consequences that most US citizens are not even aware of, yet people push back, they resist, despite much greater poverty than most people in the US have to suffer.
I’m confident that US citizens can eventually do something concrete against their most recent criminal regime, of which there have been many. We haven’t even yet seen the level of pushback that was mounted during the war on Vietnam, and armed thugs are out there killing your citizens and kidnapping people off the streets.
I just hope that pushback comes sooner than later because history shows us that people outside the US tend to suffer much more due to US policy than people inside the US.
Yeah, its not a viable option for everyone. Clandestine methods are an option.
In France, they light things on fire.
I learnt about this is school. I think the year was 1935…
Edit. Spelling.
and don’t thing because the US is hosting world sport events they are any different than Germany at that time, because Germany held the Olympics in 1936, at the height of their nazi power
Reason ~ why I won’t watch the Olympics.
How about the world cup
Also not watching that.
Like the other - date on this? Would add context.

Thank you, fellow person who searches: https://x.com/allenanalysis/status/2014761894913937478
It’s unbelievable that Minnesota Dems are trying to push though some of the worst gun grabbing legislature of the century. At the time nazis are literally at the front steps.
Liberals sabotaging themselves, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
I think that tells you everything you need to know… It’s a big club and you ain’t in it! Time to form a new party for the working class.
write it on a paper? who doesn’t remember single address without writing it down?
it is not really the point of the message, but it kinda is…
If memory weren’t so tattered, people wouldn’t be repeating history, though.
This has never stopped humanity from at least rhyming before
My wife. She’s hopeless at remembering an address. She can remember every time I forgot to refill the toilet paper though.
When you vote in racist people, racist things will happen.
STOP POSTING TWEETS WITHOUT DATE STAMPS!
Why don’t you post something? POST SOME TWEETS AND INCLUDE DATE STAMPS!
As someone who avoids X/Twitter like the plague, no.
“In the United States of America”.
The birthplace of freedom and democracy. The beacon of light and justice in the world. So strange that it is happening over there. Who could have seen this coming?
One could expect this to happen anywhere, but in the United States of America? No way.
What ICE is doing now is just a louder and more brazen version of what they have been doing since their inception.
I really prefer when people write “/s” for sarcasm. With Poe’s Law and all it is virtually impossible to distinguish sarcasm on the written internet.
Even the American left has had their national exceptionalism so deeply ingrained that they cant stop screaming “We’re number 1!” while they are drowning.
Thats why they were the perfect mark. The idea that it could happen to them was so preposterous.
Don’t WORRY! Their Leaders are EAGER and WILLING to
Protect them in ANY way Possible!I know this is meant to refer to eating the paper but what if someone ate the food. Like munching on celery while ICE pulls you out your window.
Lmfao I thought they meant eat the food jfc I am dumb. The worst part is, i’ve seen this tweet before, and I understood what it meant the first time. Pregnancy brain.
This time. I figured neighborhood must be an app like uber eats, and they’re saying just act like the food is for yourself.
“ANGANGANGANG YOU’LL NEVER TAKE THESE GROCERIES”
May they all be free from this soon
Land of the Free 😂
This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.
No, this is what the democratic party would still rather have than sending one less bomb to Israel.
Both are true, at the same time.
Sure, comrade.
This isn’t reddit where bloodlusting fuckwits like you are cool and praised for making cringe statement as a gotcha.
Stop bootlicking the oligarchy. Maybe grow some spine.
So you got this AND bombs for Israel
Yeah, we did, and the people who purposefully threw the election rather than compromise one bit with what the people wanted are responsible.
And yet we are the ones to suffer the consequences. Who cares who’s “responsible”? What matters is who is affected.
Because if you want anything to change, the pressure has got to be applied in the right direction. If people just keep blaming their neighbours, of course no politician will ever feel like they have to do anything to improve things.
If you want anything to change, you need to take effective actions. The consequence politicians face by taking ineffective actions is maybe not winning their race. The consequence our neighbors face by taking ineffective actions is the erosion of their civil rights.
If you actually want to pressure politicians, you do it by contacting them directly to inform them of their failings, they’re not just going to magically know why you didn’t vote or vote third party.
Protest voting doesn’t apply the pressure you think it does.
If you actually want to pressure politicians, you do it by contacting them directly to inform them of their failings
Sure, that’s a thing you should do
they’re not just going to magically know why you didn’t vote or vote third party
They actually expend substantial effort and sums of money to find this out, there’s nothing magical about it.
Protest voting doesn’t apply the pressure you think it does.
On the other hand, voting for them anyway if they do something absolutely abhorrent and beyond any kind of humanity tells them they can get away with anything and is just a race to the bottom.
But hey, at least they didn’t get Kamala Harris, who would somehow been worse than literal fascism
“You must accept this boot to the neck or we let the crazy guy shoot you,” isn’t the slam dunk argument you think it is.
Yes I’m sure Harris would have been terrible, a real boot to the neck indeed. Better to have Trump instead
The right: these extremists decide elections so we’ll make it our whole platform again
The left: these extremists decide elections so we’ll blame them again
Who’s blaming? I am informing protest-non-voters what they voted for.
They unironically believe this would have all played out identically under Kamala.
Nobody thinks that.
Some of them think that it would have eventually reached this point anyway, if not under this republican administration, then the next one. And there’s a good case for that.
Others think you can’t sign on to far worse atrocities that just happen to be perpetrated elsewhere in the world, no matter what, because you are then personally complicit. Also a valid viewpoint.
The performative cruelty that this administration is practicing is genuinely a new low, it’s true. But the burden of doing something about it was and is on people with institutional power, not random ordinary people. The democrats could easily have won the election and they chose not to, and after the trump team, they are the ones to blame next.
Nobody thinks that.
My inbox says otherwise.
The people that voted for Trump are first to blame. People that didn’t vote are second. It’s that simple. There are reasons why a person may have decided not to vote, but none of them change that fact that not voting was effectively a vote for Trump. I view non voters a small step above Trump voters. They at least have the same level of intelligence and critical thinking skills as one another.
Do third party voters come in between those two options or after “didn’t vote”?
Seriously, it’s all true. It is the fault of Trump Voters, the DNC, 3rd party voters, and non-voters.
Hell, I’ll go one further and say those who do nothing but vote for the most progressive Dem in the primary and then vote for the Dem no matter who it is AND that is all they have ever done to address how terrible the Dem party is, also share in the blame.
not voting was effectively a vote for Trump
That’s totally fallacious. Not voting is not voting. The only way to arrive at that conclusion is that you think that one specific party is by default entitled to votes, no matter what they do, which is wrong. Politicians have to earn votes. They chose a platform which was not popular and so they lost. And they did that to protect specific interests.
I do get being upset at people who are nominally on your side but decided not to vote. It’s understandable. But in no way are they anywhere near as much to blame as the people who had a more than two billion dollar marketing budget for their political campaign and decided “fuck what the people want”.
No it’s fact. Not voting supports the less good candidate 100% of the time in FPtP.
And yes, non voters are more responsible for this than the DNC sending a shit message. If non voters and third party voted Kamala, we wouldn’t have a dictator in the White house right now. The DNC didn’t put him there, voters for Trump and non voters did.
With the way our first past the goalposts system works, it’s true. By not voting you’re saying that you’re fine with either outcome.
When one of those options has straight up told you they’ll be a dictator on day one and you’ll never vote again, as well as publishing their playbook on how they’re going to do it, choosing to not vote against them is saying you’re fine with it.
And it’s not like protest voting actually hurt the DNC. It just hurt every vulnerable person in the country.
Just so you know, you’re replying to .ml there. I mean, I agree, but reasoned discussion isn’t going to win out with the leftist leftists that ever lefted.
Yea, I saw that after processing the comment. Still, I want people that may be unaware and read the comment chain to understand the reality. Silence is complacency.
Obama deported people! Both sides same!
Both sides onviously aren’t the same, one is more evil than the other. But they are both evil.
Obama has the blood of tens of thousands of innocent civilians on his hands, shame on anyone helping him wash.
Exhibit A.
People who think this is reddit and they’re winnning with these non-argument gotchas are hilariously sad.
They are morons then
You don’t find fault with that, or place responsibility on them?
See above.
Did so, question remains.
Gilead much?
