leaders with the most prominent Trump-resistance group organizing “No Kings” answered that complaint Saturday when Indivisible’s Ezra Levin took to the stage in Minneapolis and announced that a nationwide general strike is planned for May 1, modeled after a successful local action that shut down much of that region in January
That’s the thing, without further organization and action the net result was “Well that was fun!”
I doubt that there’s any protest without further organization and action. Just meeting new people is further organization.
Yes. No fucking shit.
But the alternative to the protests is telling everyone “fuck it, we give up, go home.”
You want change, then the protests are one of the things helping us get to that point.
People shitting all over the protests and trying to discourage them only helps the fucking fascists.
“Well that was fun” is also an okay feeing to have coming away from the protest. It means it’s more likely for that person to show up again next time.
