We are the Saint Louis, MO (and eventually National) chapter of an anti-Fascist organization resurrected from 1860.

We will lead the cause to end American Fascism.

We want YOU 🫵 to join us. #stl

New protesting locations are needed.

City Halls and State Capitols are not going to move the needle.

50 separate demonstrations won’t have the same impact as one MASSIVE major American city shutdown per week until this regime is removed from power or overthrown.
Female loneliness too.

I love the Wide Awakes. We need them back. There was an interesting artist-driven effort back in 2020, but they don't seem to have remained active www.nytimes.com/2020/09/15/s...

In 1860, the Wide Awakes mobilized against slavery and for Abraham Lincoln. A new collective is tapping into their spirit today.

This is all the Democratic Party and its leaders will ever care about— winning seats.
Schumer on CBS on calls for him to go:

"Here’s what I say — I’m the best leader for the Senate. I am the best at winning Senate seats."

There is a deep moral rot within the Democratic Party that prioritizes ultra-wealthy donors over working class Americans.

It’s not just Schumer and it’s not just those who voted for the budget.

It was never just Manchin & Sinema holding up progress.

A new direction is needed.

It’s such an anachronism that weathermen still wear suits and ties on the air.

It looks like a costume in some period drama and not a live television broadcast in 2025.

This is where women’s clothing is more versatile.

We need Charles Sumners, not Chuck Schumers.

If Fascists are not beating us to a bloody pulp with a cane, we are not trying hard enough.

A lot of the “achievements” of western civilization actually kind of suck but one thing that definitely does not suck is how half our children don’t die anymore

The problem is there are too many people in Congress with balls.
I guess there's nobody in Congress with a set of balls

Democrats will not save us, because they are convinced that our Democracy chose Fascism.

Let that sink in.

A new party is needed. One of actual democratic principles.

There’s always the chance they will ditch us after there is nothing left, take the money and run back to Florida where they will orchestrate another Southern Secession crisis.
Just as Hitler rose from the ashes and grievances of World War I, it looks like Trump’s dream is to reduce the United States to rubble so that he can turn what’s left of our once great country into his base of aggressively expansionist operations in alliance with Vladimir Putin and a few oligarchs.

Tesla down 15%.

Now is the time to double down on protests.

The far right showed what they can do with Bud Light.

Let those who support LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, government workers, and diversity show what we can do with Tesla.

Those driving Teslas should be seen as collaborators.
