As EVIL as trump is, he will claim the march attendees are there to attend the inauguration. I can't be there on Jan 20 to march, but will be in spirit with my brothers & sisters (and always for Rev. Al) Much Love!

Who cares what Trump says about the march? We all know every word he speaks is a manipulation of truth, propaganda, or out and out lies.

Not if they go to the Court to Protest or to the Capital Building

Thank you for posting.

Also, there is the Women's March DC, on Jan 18, 2025 https://www.womensmarch.com/

This is the protest I meant to post. There is very little advertising at this time that I have seen. They are calling it the Peoples March, Jan 18th, 2025 in DC and all state capitals. Sponsered by site Womens March in order to utilize their platform, and get it together quickly. They are organized in NC, but I am not sure about other states.

I marched for anti fracking when I was a teenager in DC. I was so loud they gave me a megaphone to lead cheers.

Wherever you are ready guys I'll be there with my mom who matched for civil, women's and Hispanic rights

And the vice president should refuse to certify until all ethics documents are signed. Time to push back, make noise snd make sure the ACTUAL results are SEEN by all news media. NOT A MANDATE. By far

And in my opinion STOLEN.

By misinformation, gerrymandering,

Voter suppression and a stacked, unethical supreme court that allowed a felon to run for President I encumbered. How is that not stolen? When stolen was accepted four years ago in spite of proven otherwise. So let us claim STOLEN. Apparently if you say it enough it becomes the truth and actually is the truth

100% Agree!

I've been thinking about that since the day after election. Unfortunately I am trying to get disability, unable to work, and no transportation. But believe me when you go I will be there in mind and heart. We are the resistance!

You can resist from anywhere. Call your elected representatives and let them know where real democracy stands. Go online and get there phone numbers and email addresses. We can do this!

The Congressional switchboard, to get to all Senators and Representatives is:

1 (202) 224-3121

Dial the number and tell the operator who you want to speak to. They will immediately transfer you to the correct office.

I have been inundating my two MAGA senators (Tuberville and Katie Britt) and my MAGA CONGRESSMAN, DALE STRONG! I’VE ALSO BEEN WRITING TO THE PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT, PUSHING FOR FBI CHECKS INTO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF DONALD TRUMP’S NOMINEES… I don’t know why all this turned caps, but I guess it’s important.👍

I am giving heavily to charities in 2024 to be able to itemize deductions to reduce IRS Adjusted Gross Income and I will pay 1/3 of last year's taxes. I intend to file 2025 tax form and prorate my taxes to pay for our military and aid packages but will advise I refuse to pay for WH/Trump Cabinets, Congress and US Supreme Court budgets. I'm ready to be penalized for my actions but $$ is my only power right now. I have boycotted doing any business in or with headquarters in Red States for several years. I have not vacationed in any Red State since 1/2017. During COVID years, I purchased only necessary items to keep my $$ away from oligarches and greedy companies. I am doing whatever I can to make authoritarians, theocrats, oligarchs feel a pinch of less money coming to them.

Thank you!!! As someone whos gonna need all the help I can get, being that Trump wants to end all Entitlements and services to the poor and disabled, I am truly grateful!!!

I went to many rallies against Trump during his horrendous first term and I’ll do it again even as I realize it’s become harder and more precarious. But now it’s that much more important. It must be done. As historian Timothy Snyder says, “Do not obey in advance “. We must not give in and “kiss the ring”.

Democracy is losing. Fraudulent election without a challenge. Fraudulent candidate without significant amount of resistance. Hope is dwindling as the most corrupt and least competent and most flawed individual in history is allowed to have a second illegitimate presidency. I don’t see how democracy will win in this scenario.

I agree, the deck seems stacked against all that is just and moral. But remember, decks are composed of cards, and this regime is a house built from them. One tug in the right place is enough to bring it crashing down. Just be clear of its path when it goes. That will be the real challenge. Mush will no doubt buy a well-stocked island to retreat to - probably already owns one, or several - but I doubt he will take his #1 "buddy" with him.

Did You ever read about Icelandic women striking for 24 hours in the 1950's to get more legislative, financial, educational etc. rights and power? They did nothing for 24 hours for family, job etc. They were enormously successful and have repeated the strike once or twice. Our powers are our $$, body, work. WE are needed in lots of areas and massive movements like Gandhi, MLK work over time. Make authoritarians poorer and less secure with passive resistance-do not submit/obey.

Forgive me for my long post, but I discovered an essay by a 16th century philosopher that I think is relevant to the 'tyranny' and bullying we experience and will experience for the next 4 years. Here it is. My resolve to RESISTANCE gets former every day.

Discourse on Voluntary Servitude:

Why People Enslave Themselves to Authority

By E. LaBoetie (Philosopher and Writer, 1530-1563)

(A 3-part essay. Excerpts with some adaptation for readability)

“How does it happen that an entire nation suffers under a single tyrant?

People suffer plundering, wantonness, cruelty on account of a single little man. Too frequently this same little man is the most cowardly in the nation, a stranger to the powder of battle and hesitant on the sands of the tournament. Who could really believe that one man alone may mistreat millions and deprive them of their liberty?

The answer? We let ourselves be deprived before our own eyes of the best part of our liberties. This misfortune, this ruin descends upon us not from alien foes but from the one enemy whom we ourselves render as powerful as he is.

The more a tyrant pillages, the more he craves, the more he ruins and destroys. And the more we yield to him and obey him, the mightier and more formidable he becomes, the readier he is to annihilate and destroy us.

But if not one thing is yielded to him, if without any violence he is simply not obeyed, he becomes naked and undone and nothing, just as when the root receives no nourishment, the branch withers and dies.

He has indeed nothing more than the power that we confer upon him to destroy us.

He does not have any power over us except through us.

Let’s not grow accustomed to the idea of subjection.

Let’s not lose warlike courage, all signs of enthusiasm because our hearts are degraded, submissive, and incapable of any great deed. A tyrant is well aware of this, and in order to degrade his subjects further, he will do what he can for us to assume this attitude and make instinctive.

The tyrant may reduce our freedom of action, of speech, and almost of thought, but in spite of this we will stand together in our aspiration. Our love for liberty and valor will not perish.

The desire for True Liberty must give us new strength. Not the notion of ‘liberty’ that is used to cover a false enterprise.

If things are to change, we must also realize the extent to which the foundation of tyranny lies in the vast networks of corrupted people with an interest in maintaining tyranny.

Such men must not only obey orders, they must anticipate his wishes, to satisfy him they must foresee his desires; they must wear themselves out, torment themselves, kill themselves with work in his interest, and accept his pleasure as their own, neglecting their preference for his, distorting their character and corrupting their nature; they must pay heed to his words, to his intonation, to his gestures, and to his glance. Can this be called a happy life? Can it be called living? Is there anything more intolerable than that situation … for anyone having the face of a man?

Still, men accept servility in order to acquire wealth and personal power.

The fact is that the tyrant is never truly loved, nor does he love.

There can be no friendship where there is cruelty, where there is disloyalty, where there is injustice. And in places where the wicked gather there is conspiracy only, not companionship. They have no affection for one another. Fear holds them together. They are not friends, they are merely accomplices.

We simply will give the tyrant nothing.

We will not weaken ourselves in order to make him the stronger and the mightier to hold us in check.

We are resolved to serve him no more and aim to regain your freedom.

We will simply no longer support him.

Like the great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled way, he will fall of this own weight and break into pieces.”
