Everything shared here is rooted in the Constitution and nonviolent civic resistance. This is about restoring democratic norms. Withdrawal of consent means refusing unlawful abuses of power, peacefully. That’s how free people protect democracy.

Democracy is broken in the United States because campaigns are privately financed, not publicly funded.
And what many in the lower classes could not get through democracy, they’re ignorantly attempting to get through autocracy.
Unfortunately, for all of us the autocrats are also the oligarchs. 🇺🇸

The president cannot:
• Make laws
• Declare war
• Control elections
• Run the civil service like a CEO
• Ignore court orders
• Stay in office without elections
• Decide which laws apply to them
• Use the military for domestic political control
Those were king powers, and the framers rejected them.

The regime is trying to frame the Minneapolis protests as a foreign-style insurgency, false propaganda. Citizens are using lawful, collective, and protective means to defend their communities in the face of militarized policing, community disruption, and civilian death, just like a foreign invasion.

Either the people will use their constitutional rights and democracy to win the struggle against the oligarchy, or the oligarchy in fear of the people will destroy the constitution and democracy. 🇺🇸

The Constitution does not give the president CEO-style authority over the civil service. Article II requires the president to execute laws written by Congress, including laws that structure agencies, and protect career officials. Congress’s Article I power creates offices and set terms. Impeach.🇺🇸

The regime will be digging in but their escalation will work against them as long as people continue responding with organized civil disobedience and resistance. Their violence is unsustainable because this regime is one of the most unpopular in all history.

Authority does not equal legitimacy. And legitimacy does not require authorization.
When the system commits injustice, which it is now, waiting politely for the system to correct itself is not neutrality, it’s participation by delay.

The only viable path forward is mass disciplined civil disobedience making this authoritarian rule ungovernable. Fascists do not relinquish power through elections alone. They exit when their authority collapses through overwhelming people power.🇺🇸

Violence is the regime’s method. That’s why granting the executive absolute immunity mattered: it removes restraint. Early on, the regime stated that the U.S. is in a revolution that would remain “bloodless if the left allows it to be.” Now we see what that means in practice.

LBJ signed the Civil Rights laws, and that mattered. But those laws were made politically unavoidable by years of mass organizing, and non-violent resistance led by Martin Luther King Jr.
Sustained civic pressure is what creates change, not waiting for benevolence from power. 🇺🇸

Minneapolis is being used as a test case for authoritarian overreach, with threats to deploy troops against protesters. This isn’t local—it’s national. Defending liberty now means disciplined, nonviolent resistance and solidarity from Americans everywhere, through support, organizing, and witness. 🇺🇸

Venezuelan Coup Leader Maria Corina Machado Vows To Privatize Oil - PopularResistance.Org
The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize was given to María Corina Machado, a far-right, pro-war Venezuelan opposition leader who has been funded by the US government for more than two decades. Machado has helped to lead numerous violent coup attempts in Venezuela, in 2002, 2014, 2017, 2019, and again today. She is now at the center of the US government’s regime-change war against Venezuela. In an interview with Donald Trump Jr. in February 2025, Machado made it clear that she wants to privatize Venezuela’s state-owned oil industry and sell off the South American nation’s natural resources to US corporations.
