Nonviolent Resistance
@nvresist.bsky.social
A resource for organized nonviolent resistance to MAGA fascism.
I think you can attend any of these meetings and participate in these organizations without fear that you will be entrapped in violence, or in nonviolent confrontation that you are not prepared for. But I think we all need to think hard about what we would sacrifice to defend democracy and humanity.

Three events in Denver; lots more around the country on mobilize.us . Check out Worth Fighting For to help support targeted immigrant communities. Check out Sunrise Movement for youth-driven action on climate.

Wittes is too smart not to call this dishonest. What is glaringly missing from this argument is the fact that while Garland dithered, Trump was rebuilding his control of the GOP.

That's why he was able to use the Six Clowns to delay and derail the prosecutions against, him, especailly the J6 case.

Now entering stage 5: nihilism.
'Woohoo, watch it all burn!'
'Teehee, the Democrats are getting what they deserve!'
'Haha, you think you can stop it?'
'Let's go smash windows and burn police cars!'

Of course, many are already having their doors broken down. One thing that makes nonviolence difficult is that so many are already experiencing violence and have been down through history. So we have a violent culture, with constant threats and offenses. And now we are facing a violent dictatorship.

Mobilize.us is run as a small business to provide a high-quality service point for nonprofits. These organizations are adjacent to nonviolent resistance but probably will not lead you to an arrest. What you need to understand is, MAGA plans to bring arrest to you.

mobilize.us makes it easy for you to find activist groups and meetings in your area, addressing the issues you care about. Worth Fighting For organizes immigrants and allies. Indivisibles mobilizes urgent political action. Sunrise organizes youth for climate action.

Every time they show a picture of this guy with his shirt on, they are hiding the truth.

"his nomination's viability" depends on whether the Senate, Democrats included, rolls over and lets Trump push this putz in. Which may also depend on whether we do too.

Sometimes calling your Senator is NVR.

Do not grieve.
Do not give up on America just because as many assholes as voted for Trump in 2020 did it again in 2024.
Do not expect the Democrats to lead the resistance.
Do not stay home and await further information.
Study nonviolence. Organize. Be the resistance.

Every time a MAGA pol or nominee is pressed on the extremism and violence they promise to unleash on America, their answer is to claim that the people have given them a mandate.

What they mean is, they believe they have the power to do as they wish and that nobody can stop them.

First, the shock and disbelief.
Then, the finger pointing and score settling.

Now the worst: the popcorn, as we watch Trump name a rogues' gallery of thugs, extremists, foreign assets and incompetent toadies to run our federal government.

Don't give in to dictatorship. Resist!

Gene Sharp taught that to fight dictatorship you need to identify its pillars of support.

Right now the main pillar of support for the nascent MAGA dictatorship is the false narrative that America "shifted" to the right in this election and gave Trump a mandate.

Stop believing and repeating it.

MAGAs claim a mandate for their violent extremist plans. Too many of us seem ready to give them that power.

It's not their country, it's still ours. MAGA did not grow.

Join and help organize the nonviolent resistance.

Stop saying you don't recognize America anymore. MAGA has polarized our politics but the election was a referendum on Biden-Harris, not an endorsement of MAGA's violent extremist agenda. No, it's not their country, it's still ours, too, unless we just let them take it.
