The Reddit forum for the #50501movement had a Big List of Protests thread which got removed as spam.

*Please share the BLOP!*

In virtually every state, even Alabama and Iowa, you can find multiple #resistance events on multiple days. The revolution is not being televised, because our legacy media outlets are owned by pro-fascist ghouls, but Americans are rising up.

theblop.orgThe Big List of ProtestsThe BLOP hosts a large and detailed list of upcoming protest events submitted by users across the United States.

As #resistance to Trump’s #fascism grows, people will debate whether to focus on reforms or revolution. Reforms involve gradual changes to policies like healthcare and taxes, while revolution seeks a complete transformation of society.

The key is respecting different approaches, working to resist #Trump, and aiming for both immediate gains and long-term change. Reformers and revolutionaries need to cooperate, even if they disagree, to create a sustainable future.

One of the members of the Danish Resistance held by the Gestapo in the attic of Shellhus in an effort to prevent a raid on the building was Brandt Rehberg. Rehberg was involved in escape lines, shepherding Jews from Copenhagen to neutral Sweden. The effort saved all but 500 of Denmark’s 7,000 - 8,000 Jews from the Nazis. Rehberg was arrested by the Gestapo in early 1945 & was imprisoned at Shellhus, but survived the RAF raid. (3/3)

Mar 21, 1945: On this date, Operation Carthage, a British bombing raid on the Shellhus, Gestapo headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark, took place. The building was destroyed in the raid, 18 prisoners freed, & Gestapo activities were disrupted - but these successes came at a high cost. A nearby school was bombed & the raid caused 123 civilian deaths. The bomber pilots were only told after VE Day the true consequences of the raid. (1/3)

PSA to all people organizing #resistance against authoritarians.

This is what I think should be your primary method (see the GIF).

Stop reacting to your opponents, make your opponents react to you.

Mass is great and you can't make it without organizing a lively community, but it should not be the end goal.

This is from my experience. I was one of the core organizers of youth protests in Lithuania in ~2004 when we successfully impeached our authoritarian-leaning russian-financed president.

GOP Senator Slams Republicans for Being “Afraid” of Elon Musk

Senator Lisa Murkowski has some harsh words for her party.
newrepublic.com/post/192950/li

"Senator Lisa Murkowski called out the #tech oligarch in a #press conference... She criticized the mass firing of #federal employees and freezing of federal #funding...

She told reporters... that she knows her willingness to criticize #Musk will likely come with #consequences."

I’d like to just point out that sure, we’re fighting a criminal corrupt fascist regime with zero morals or ethics (or empathy, as they’ve self proclaimed), but Canadians are holding the line WHILE ALSO BAKING COOKIES.

The Tesla Backlash Is Biblical
youtube.com/watch?v=k9kmK0St9J

“In the past 3 months something of a car crash happened. #Tesla stock almost inexplicably dropped 50% since December 12th. Fifty percent in 3 months! Below where it was before the #election. Now this number is hard to wrap your head around, but Tesla's #market cap loss its valuation lost in this short period is equivalent to $800 billion."

Republican Rep. Sparks Fury After Telling Town Hall He Supports Musk

Representative Mike Flood of #Nebraska was booed incessantly at his own town hall.

Sell Your #Tesla Dump Your #Stock
emptywheel.net/2025/03/19/sell

" ElonMusk has pledged about 1/3 of his holdings as collateral for loans... including loans for the purchase of #Twitter. It seems plausible that the lenders will demand additional collateral or even call the loans if the price sinks dramatically.

... If it were selling at the same PE ratio as the information #technology sector... the price would drop from the current $240 to about $75"

And one more word about those Righteous Gentiles. After the Holocaust, psychologists began to study them to figure out what made them courageously agree to hide Jews while the majority went along with tyranny. Maybe they were friends with Jews before the war? Maybe they had spare rooms or extra savings tucked away? Maybe some people just come wired with an altruistic personality?

Nope. The psychologists found that none of these factors made the difference. Instead, as Bregman recounts in his book:
Turns out there was one circumstance that determined almost everything. A new analysis of data … showed that when this condition was met, nearly everyone took action — 96 percent to be precise.

And what was that condition?

Simple: you had to be asked. Those who were asked to help someone in danger almost always said yes.

Asking things of each other and acting together is how we move unjust systems. So go ahead.

Reach out to someone. Ask.

The article quotes author Larissa MacFarquhar, who wrote in her book Strangers Drowning: Impossible Idealism, Drastic Choices, and the Urge to Help:

"In wartime — or in a crisis so devastating that it resembles war, such as an earthquake or a hurricane — duty expands far beyond its peacetime boundaries. In wartime, it’s thought dutiful rather than unnatural to leave your family for the sake of a cause. In wartime, the line between family and strangers grows faint, as the duty to one’s own enlarges to encompass all the people who are on the same side…

This is the difference between do-gooders and ordinary people: for do-gooders, it is always wartime. They always feel themselves responsible for strangers — they always feel that strangers, like compatriots in war, are their own people."

How do I resist Trump without ruining my life?

VOX: I want to fight rising authoritarianism. But I’m scared of becoming a target.
