IMMEDIATE POP-UP PROTEST Happening now #NYC! #CIVILDISOBEDIENCE #HOPECORPS ❤️‍🔥✊️❤️‍🔥

I absolutely LOVE the fact that organizers in #Hungary REFUSE to obey the attempted ban of the #Pride event in #Budapest.

If organizing for a movement that promotes #freedom and diversity is outlawed, #resistance and disobedience are the appropriate responses.

The enemies of freedom might not like it, but that’s their problem.

Do you think the current crisis in California will escalate calls for independence or strengthen its ties to the United States?

Being stuck in the Bronze Age in 2025 is bad enough - we'll be back in the Paleolithic without SUSTAINED mass acts of nonviolent #CivilDisobedience NOW. Not next weekend, not for the next news cycle. Get over the culture war NOW.

"Sources familiar with the matter have told #Antiwar.com Editorial Director Scott Horton that the Trump administration is poised to enter #Israel’s aggressive war against #Iran directly. US airstrikes on Iran could begin as soon as Monday."

Mass protests make the news but they rarely affect change. That requires a deeper commitment that risks legal jeopardy and physical danger. Protesting is a nuisance at best. Civil Disobedience is a strategy with a clear goal. Non-violent, non-cooperation is effective when it’s organized, thoughtful, and strategic. It’s not spontaneous. It’s part of a grand plan.

Without pain, there is no change. It’s a game of chicken to see who will flinch first.

#CivilDisobedience

Veterans and suppporters blockade US Capitol steps demanding troops and ICE off our streets

#veterans #civildisobedience #trump #parade

On the 13th of June, 24 hours before Trump's parade, Veterans and their supporters held a press conference at the US Supreme Court. They demanded that troops be removed from policing protests and ICE be sent home. They demanded that the money being spend on Trump's parade be spent instead on the people. They specifically demanded "Benefits not Bullshit." Note that Trump and DOGE are gutting the Veteran's Administration,

Speakers reminded current active duty servicemembers that their oath was to the Constitution not Trump and that unlawful orders must be defied. The broader message for current servicemembers was "it's time to choose."

The presser served as a diversion. Immediately afterwards protesters marched from SCOTUS onto the Capitol grounds. The "bicycle rack fence" barricade was breached and protesters charged the East steps, successfully occupying the steps.

During or immediately after the charge one person was apparently either thrown down the steps or tackled by cops on the concrete and injured. Once that situation settled down, things stabilized.

This proved to be a classic Capitol Hill civil disobedience. An estimated 60 people were arrested. Trump's threats of "very heavy force" turned out to be a load of hot air at least as far as this day before protest was concerned.

Ok, blue states. Time to get your leaders to meet up with Gavin Newsom and get the ball rolling on a blue state tax strike. Get on your phones and let your governors know it’s time. #strike #taxstrike #blue #civildisobedience

Justice and law are not synonyms. The advancement of justice and human freedom has always depended upon people with the courage to break the law. Slavery was legal, Jim Crow was legal, the Holocaust was legal. Obedience is no virtue when the laws are unjust. #CivilDisobedience This one is important -- listen to #HowardZinn if listening to me isn't good enough. 😀

"So the first step in civic self-respect is just to get people to say, I count, I matter, I have significance.

And how do you get them to say that?

Look at history. Why do you think Richard Nixon, arch-conservative corporatist, when he was president, signed into law the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration? He signed into law the Product Safety Commission. He put in an environmental advisor in the White House that Congress wanted him to do. He signed the air and water pollution laws, except the water pollution law he vetoed.

But why did he do all that? Because he heard the rumble from the people coming out of the ’60s. He was the last Republican to fear liberals. He heard the rumble, and every citizen can contribute to that rumble. When these politicians come around during their campaign and shake hands, [people] can contribute by not being flattered by them and smiling. They can demand something. They can hold their hand in a handshake until they get a commitment. They can summon them to their own town meetings. We even have a summons where people can turn it around instead of the Senator or Representative choreographing it.

So that’s what you’re seeing around the country right now. You’re seeing the rumble starting to increase, and you’re seeing young challengers of democratic, corporate incumbents in primaries. You’re seeing that."

What are the ethics of gray-zone #hacking in response to the gray-zone legalities of #executiveactions?

Is it time for each of us to resist through #civildisobedience in the digital realm in defense of our #democracy?

Someone who is parked where LAPD are staging giving shit to the cops at the perimeter. Tells them that they "won't be here all night" and can come get their car later.

Good, *those* shitheads should have to put up with it, too.

You can (and should) do #CivilDisobedience from outside of a police cordon.

This shit is so out of control. But sure, staying out after 8:00pm is worthy of arrest

"We cannot be silent in the face of Trump’s dictatorial move. Silence is acquiescence. We must be brave in resisting him. But we must not succumb to violence.

What is needed is peaceful #civildisobedience. Americans locking arms to protect those who need protection. Americans sitting in the way of armored cars. Americans singing and chanting in the face of the Americans whom Trump is drafting into his handmade civil war. " - #RobertReich

"The best response is calm and deliberation, exactly what the administration doesn’t want to see from the people protesting against it. Trump doesn’t want to see protests marking his birthday parade next weekend.... There is nothing more important than peaceful, lawful protests where Americans publicly exercise their First Amendment rights and say no to kings this coming week." - Joyce Vance, law prof & former U.S. Atty

Black text over white background which reads:
Protect the peaceful protest
The Sit-Down Wave
What to do if violence breaks out at a protest:
1. Sit down - together
Lower yourself to the ground immediately. Stay where you are.
2. Silence is Power
Stop chanting, put down signs, and remain silent.
3. Spread the Signal
Gesture or quietly tell others to sit. Let the action ripple through the crowd like a wave.
4. Do Not Engage
Don't argue, confront, or respond to aggression. Discipline speaks for itself.
5. Make Peace Visible
A calm, seated crowd is a powerful image for the world - and the cameras - to see.

Rebel Hearts is a hidden gem. It tells the story of the radical Catholic nuns in 1960s Los Angeles whose faith, defiance and activism turned the Church upside-down. They marched at Selma with MLK and they still fight for social justice today. Their story is incredible and it will fill you and your students with hope and fire. 4/n

We're trying not to doomscroll and we've got protest and civil disobedience on our mind -- partly because we've got some great resources for teaching about US protest history. Give us just a sec and we'll add those to this thread for you.

These films are outstanding. We recommend them whether you are in education or not. Many of them are available on major streaming platforms and some even stream for free. Do yourself a favor and check them out.

Stay tuned for links coming right up! 3/n

We must stay committed to nonviolence. As Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, nonviolence is our most powerful weapon for justice.

Join the nationwide No Kings Day protests happening across the country on June 14 to say NO to fascism

I am an American citizen. Raised on “conservative” values. Spent more than 10 years as a missionary; spreading the gospel and the vision of the value of a free and open society. I am not oblivious to the incredible injustices perpetrated by the citizens and government over the years. But I always held out hope that the citizens of this country would naturally gravitate towards freedom, justice and equality for all. I no longer believe any of this.

I look at what the US has become under the trump regime and feel nothing but shame. How could we elect a gangster, a con man, a rapist to our highest position? How could people who profess to be religious have no capacity to see the dichotomy between belief and reality? How can people believe the lies of the state propaganda machine when all around them it is obvious that they are all lies?

But then again, I have followed closely the rise or putin in Russia. The parallels are obvious for all who want to see.

Today I see very clearly how religion, patriotism and ethnicity when used by a demagogue to capture the state is incredibly effective. Those who wrap themselves in the flag and bludgeon their neighbor with bibles are the greatest threat we have to a free, prosperous and democratic society. It is truly a dark day.
