What naysayers don’t get about ‘No Kings,’ the biggest protest in U.S. history

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

    Don’t forget about the primaries! See if there are any progressive candidates running in the dem primaries on your ballot. Vote for them in the primaries even if you don’t think they have a shot. Even if they don’t win, a close race could be a sign to the establishment dem that things are changing and if they want to keep getting elected (to collect their bribes) then they need to change their platform. Plus every vote for a progressive candidate encourages them to keep fighting the good fight. If you have the time and resources, volunteering if also really good, but obviously not everyone can

    All this being said though, yeah I still wish there were just more good candidates
