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!!

Yup all the unions organize and bring all of us together to shut down this absurd and dangerous administration.

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/

Done - but how soon will that lead to an actual general strike?

The sooner we can get 3.5% of the population signed up. Share the link with everyone you know. 💙

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.

345,000 signed up and they need 11,000,000? That is depressing.

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 🇺🇦.

Go for it, America. We need to get ourselves out of this mess, and we need to remove this insane grifter from holding us hostage while he builds up his family business in the Middle East.

I’m not 💯 sure, but there’s reports that there’s going to be nationwide protests on June 14th, the day of the narcissistic psychopath birthday - parade.
