I think in the next protest march we should ALL have a YUGE banner that says: 8647. ALL of us!!

In solidarity. We are in this together 💪💖

I 💯 % agree! June 6th is the next protests.. if I'm not mistaken. Visit the 50501 websites for more details. But millions of us should hold signs saying 8647. The powerful reason why we should do it. Is to show them our dissent. Our power in numbers and show them we will not allow them to silence us. If puppy killer Noam wants to act like a psychopathic moron and say this is a threat let her prove it! Fuck her and all her project 2025 corrupt cronies. Every time they say we can't do this that or the other. Is when we should definitely do it. Never obey in advance. Always act with bravery and boldly. So fuck'em! 🖕😤😡🤬

It won't matter how often there are protests. All praise to 50501, but what have all these marches and protests achieved so far? There are other ways to show our powers in numbers - a whole arsenal of peaceful tools. The most effective tool of all is the general strike - ask the French! Never mind 8647 - let's organize and get the unions on board!

I agree. That is another tool in our tool box. If truckers struck, trains shut down, everyone stops working…but with one doable goal. Ending deportation without due process, ending mass firings, whatever. Pick one goal..show our solidarity and we can slowly win this country back.

More people IS better!

We are building a resistance, and faster than in the 1930’s

Bring in the unions, and everyone should bring a friend to their next rally or protest to!!

I think one of the most important reasons is to let our congressmen and women know we have their backs. It gives them courage to stand up and be heard. Just because we voted them in doesn’t mean they still don’t need our support. I think it means everything…

Yes!! We all need to walk out of work and stop all traffic, banks, shopping for days. Taking shifts if need be. Make sure to sign your Strike Card at https://generalstrikeus.com/

I have to agree all these little protests do nothing. I have called for a massive protest to shut everything down on a certain day for a few hours..... let's bring the fear and put it on him. We need a massive shutdown. All of it at once.

Greetings from the Land of the Brave & The Free - which used to be all that America 🇺🇸 USA Stood for, Yes I'm right here Protected by the UN, EU in 🇮🇪 Ireland where we still have Free Speech & can quote peaceful Protest Slogans like 8647 with Impunity/in Solidarity against your Fascist Regime

I lived in the EU for 12 years and may be returning some time later this year or early next. Its horrifying to watch and to realize most people have 0 clue of what is really happening. Autocracy is no longer creeping in, its at the front door. Americans still think it can’t happen here, but its here and its real and America needs to get off the sofa and out into the streets in a massive Protest.

We need to do exactly what unions do and have a global walk out from all business, shut down everything. Only when corporate America feels it in their pockets, will this administration have to do something. The longer people are able to refrain from working the more power we will have.

Icelandic women went on strike twice and achieved their demands. They quit everything from working, cooking, cleaning, childcare, and sex. The men gave in very quickly. More women need to do that.

Thank you!! I've been tweeting for a general strike for nearly two months to all the unions I can find on X. So far no response! I suspect the AFL-CIO and the other large unions are reluctant and/or afraid public opinion might go against them if they called a general strike -- but they're wrong! I am pretty sure other Americans would welcome it. I encourage all of you to message the unions and any other groups, news outlets, and organizations who could spread the word!

But I'm not so sure that's going to do anything either unless it's a lot more than 3.5 percent. My employer just hires temps when there's a strike of any kind.

We appreciate your support Robert! Of Irish descent here and going back in September for a 3rd visit. I appreciate Ireland’s solidarity with the US. Please continue to boycott our goods and services to send a clear message that the world is NOT with the Trump Regime. The idea is that when the economy here goes bad it will separate Trump supporters from the Trump Regime as he had promised them lower prices and a better economy. The total opposite has occurred. Remember, the Trump Regime does NOT represent the American people. We still stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦.

That sounds Awesome!

Insurance premiums have only gone up 200% since he said there would be "no bill without a public option", home prices have tripled since he bailed out the too big to fail banks instead of the American people, and maybe he can murder more American citizens without due process like the Al Awaki family!

Let's not forget he deported more people than any president ever (deporter in chief is what they called him).

Oh yeah and how about that noble peace prize he received and then days later escalatee the war in Afghanistan with the 'surge" even though it was well known that the Pentagon papers 2.0 had already been written that we couldn't win the war.

Let's not forget James Clapper lying to Congress about mass surveillance and how OB called him a great patriot after.

Gosh, you would think after his last term 2020-2024 we would have had enough of him and he ready for a new King.

No no no. Don’t give them anything more to go after Obama. They’ll say it’s real! As usual a projection.

What they do they are always saying that we do it. Like Steve Schmidt says “they say up is down and left is right…”.

Solidarity. While there are many issues to protest, this is a great idea. We are a dispersed population and this would give the resistance greater cohesion, IMO.

No, no more protest marches - until and unless there is a general strike.

Marches achieve nothing, and we cannot afford to waste time when any minute now Trump will (unlawfully) declare martial law and send US troops to every big city.

The courts are too slow; he ignores court orders; the pace of destruction of all civil protections and rights is quickening.

He's shutting down democracy - we need to shut down the country, if only for one day!

But they have done a lot!! It gives people a sense of unity and something to do to relieve some stress!! But yes, we have got to get a strike going, but I think it needs to be at least three days, more if possible. And then a prolonged strike once we have national attention.

I do believe that about a nationwide strike, it's just a lot harder to coordinate and takes longer. In the meantime, let's have EVERYONE out in the streets wearing 8647 t-shirts. A SEA of Americans. It will still send a message, loud and clear 8️⃣6️⃣4️⃣7️⃣
