Trump Spirals, Americans Resist: Here's How MASS PROTEST: JULY 17TH IN HONOR OF THE LATE GREAT JOHN LEWIS

Trump Spirals, Americans Resist: Here's How Onward! Scott Dworkin Jul 13 Trump is “busy” at his New Jersey golf course bunker, yelling about Rosie O’Donnell, and doing absolutely nothing to help anyone. Republicans are along for the ride, serving as rubber stamps to all the illegal acts committed by this unhinged regime. That’s why I’m happy to have some great news for you today. I don’t sugarcoat the horrors, but I do shine a light on the courageous people everywhere fighting back. In the avalanche of Trump’s propaganda and lies, it can be hard to see the acts of resistance. That’s where I come in. I weed through the muck every single day, so you don’t have to. I’ve been doing it since 2016, and I’m not stopping now.

It helps fuel our news and advocacy, and allows me to do more From coast to coast, there are countless people standing up against the Trump regime in different ways. Here are some great examples. Cape May County, NJ Like clockwork, every Saturday morning in Cape May County, NJ, the “Bridge Brigade” breaks out large signs on a highway overpass. The aim is to resist Trump’s vitriol and hate by spreading messages of hope, love, and democracy to the countless folks who drive by. Santa Teresa, NM In Santa Teresa, NM, a “Humanize; Don’t Militarize” protest was held yesterday. They’re calling out the regime’s move to steal 109,000 acres of public land and give it to the Dept. of Defense. All under the guise of “border security.” Give me a break. Trump Tower, NYC Protesters also gathered outside of Trump Tower in New York City. They were there to speak out against the regime’s plan to shut down the suicide lifeline for LGBTQIA+ Americans. Ending this service is an absolute abomination. Anaheim, CA JD Vance was “welcomed” by protesters outside of Disneyland in Anaheim, CA—where Vance is allegedly staying. Some folks drove hours to rally against the regime’s rampant immigration abuses. Does JD Vance actually do anything, besides vacation? San Antonio, TX This year, anti-Trump protests have been held in thousands of cities across America—and in dozens of other countries. The next mass protest is on July 17th, in honor of the late great John Lewis. Since corporate media won’t cover them properly, I will.

Lewis Keep working on the ending, peeps! True enough, but having a clue about how things got this bad definitely helps. To take a clue from another great writer, J. R. R. Tolkien: we can't change the beginning, but we can't pretend Sauron and the orcs came out of nowhere either.
