Live coverage of the #GeneralStrike march in #minneapolis #ICE
You know, it's a good and very strange thing to hear Stephen Colbert have a conversation with a guest who is a scholar of non-violent civil resistance and that the discussion would include advocacy of the #GeneralStrike.

Daily steps to building our #resistance into a #GeneralStrike
In the face of extreme daily brutality the folks of Minnesota have been giving the rest of the US a demonstration of how we resist rising #fascism in the US. Anyone can begin taking action to build their personal and community capacity for resistance today. Depending on your location and context, only some of these will apply. Do what you can, do what makes sense in your current context...

We'll need much more of this. The people of #Minnesota have been giving the rest of the nation a lesson in how we resist #ICE. This is how we do it. This is the template for how we #Resist.
It's been 1 year of increasing fascism but the horror thus far is just the beginning. At the very least we should expect years of low-intensity civil war.
Prepare for long-term #GeneralStrike:
- Save money
- Set meetings with your neighbors, build block-based #selfdefense
- Get on #Signal, set-up groups

"National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory."
- Thomas Leeper on Bsky

Hopefully just the first future work-week days of action building towards a #GeneralStrike. Begin saving money and coordinating with fellow workers and neighbors to build a community/work based network of #mutualaid.

The Justice Department isn't now openly saying that isn't going to release the Epstein files.
Folks, are we surprised? COME. THE. FUCK. ON.
If this is fascism as we know it is, we should also understand that they do not intend to backdown. They do not intend to obey or respect the rule of law.
#FASCISM. They will do what they want. The pretense of #democracy, law, etc no longer applies. NEW FUCKING RULES. Elections? Lol. Stop pretending because they no longer are.

100% this. Especially the bits about the Democrats that mostly serve to vent energy away from change.
Enough. Enough.
The old normal is done and won't return. Shouldn't return.
The only way this ends is with a new world for us. For all of US.

"If this majority of people does not stand up to the minority that is quite clearly in the process of turning the United State into a dictatorship, and much faster than almost anyone expected, our democracy will be lost. For those who have read the Project 2025 documents, this comes as no surprise; Trump has been transparent in his desire to become a dictator. And, once a state becomes a dictatorship, history has shown that it is very difficulty..."

We should start a practice of sharing the steps we're taking to further our individual and community #resistance to the regime. What are our daily and weekly actions and plans? What is our shared, #OpenSource recipe for building our fight against #fascism. If we want a #GeneralStrike we have to prepare for it. How do we build #MutualAid and #Democracy in our communities? What orgs are we working with? What software tools are we using and how?

The Nature of Our Power: A Conversation with Political Scientist Erica Chenoweth
"The best study on the subject in my opinion suggests that in the long term, institutions really can’t save us; that civil society and mass mobilization are a more potent check on a backsliding democracy in the long term than relying on institutional checks and balances alone."
