#MassiveProtests Against #Trump are Just The Beginning

A co-founder of #Indivisible lays out a vision for harnessing millions of protesters into an unstoppable pro-democracy movement

by Tim Dickerson, April 8, 2025

Excerpts: "The demonstrations were organized by a broad coalition — including groups that rose to prominence in the first Trump administration, like Indivisible, upstarts like the #50501Movement, as well as established grassroots groups like #MoveOn. The upswell of resistance surprised even seasoned organizers. Indivisible cofounder #EzraLevin texted Rolling Stone on Friday to predict 'one of the largest single-day protests in years' adding that the public response was “kind of shocking."

[...]

"This was a Big Tent — everybody from like #DSA to #MattYglesias and #NeverTrump Republicans were endorsing it. I had briefly gotten excited about calling this the 'Normal March.'

"Like the wacko, MAGA, right-wing crazies are not gonna be part of this. But if you’re a normal person, you would want to take part. Because obviously you oppose #Project2025, you oppose #DOGE and the richest man in the world coming after your #SocialSecurity.

"But I’m happy we went with '#HandsOff.' It served as a good rallying cry, because we all come to this for different reasons. Maybe we’re concerned about the #tariffs, maybe we’re concerned about #TransKids in our community being targeted, or the #immigrants being disappeared, or maybe we’re concerned about Social Security. We’ve all got something to fight back on."

These people should be called out & ridiculed everywhere they go. They should not be able to have a minute's peace at any public venue.

People should cut them out of friendly gatherings. Their other family members should shun them. They should be excommunicated.

They are a barbaric cult that glorifies violence & oppression. They should not be given the time of day by decent people.

Vote them out, at the very least.

#StephenHarper’s recent public endorsement of #PierrePoilievre provides us with a direct link from #FarRight authoritarian #VictorOrban to #quisling #Conservatives idolizing populist Pierre’s power grab ambitions of grandeur.

Orban, Harper’s IDU BFF, was integral to enacting #Trump’s #authoritarian playbook, even sending a team of his best to assist in the creation of #Project2025.

My hope is that this endorsement from an illiberal, morally bankrupt boomer, heavily invested in Israeli security technology and chairman of the destructive Far Right IDU actively threatening democratic stability worldwide; backfires on #Poilievre.

Stephen Harper’s endorsement should be seen for what it is; a call to arms against “wokeness” and transparency in the interests of stifling democracy for a global far right alliance that seeks to install dictators around the world.

Hold the line #Canada, we got this. #elbowsup

"For the past few days everyone has understandably been focused on tariffs and the destruction of the world trading system. But in the long run, and maybe much sooner than that, the dire impacts of tariffs may be matched by the havoc Trumpism is wreaking in other areas."

PLEASE BOOST THIS!

"Project 2025 and the Insurrection Act: This Was Always the Plan

This isn’t speculation.

The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 lays out a detailed strategy for permanent right-wing control.

It openly advocates using the Insurrection Act to crush opposition and dismantle the administrative state.

Trump isn’t improvising — he’s following a script."

Medium · On April 20th, 2025, the United States will Cross the Point of No Return.By Aletheisthenes

"America’s house is burning down. By this summer, everything will be scorched earth.

Let me be clear. Trump has destroyed America in less than 100 days. Coming back from this DOGE takeover, mob shakedown and chaos is going to take much more than over 1200 marches across America on an April Saturday."
