Gotta do more than just speak up.

Corporations are feckless cowards typically. That's why fascism appeals to them, they have a scapegoat in the government as the one doing horrible things and they can pretend to be widdle ole victimized bidness. Don't buy that shit and don't buy from them if you can help it.

This outright depressing. Instead of demolishing fascist corporations, they are sign-waving the fascist government to do something against their fascist resources. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡² are soo damn illiterate.

More🍾πŸ”₯cocktails, less chants.

This is lowest common denominator resistance, but it is important and allows for grassroots growth.

All resistance is good, and more will come.

Waving signs on location is a great way to practice, network, recruit, exchange ideas, and discuss next steps.

We need to continue to meet, talk, and work together if there is going to be meaningful escalation.

Rather than being negative and reducing moral, try instead to offer realistic and simple alternatives to the bazaar that is a radical grassroots resistance.
