Qasim Rashid, Esq.

Trump has signed hundreds of fascist EOs, raided migrants (including kids at schools & hospitals), wants federal employees to snitch on one another, cut off aid to Ukraine and other allied nations, enacted a Muslim Ban 2.0, repealed President Johnson’s EO on Affirmative Action in federal contracting, took us out of the Paris Climate Accords and the WHO, and promises worse.

Silence from Biden, Obama, Bush, & Clinton. But I’m so glad they attended his inauguration & had a chummy laugh with him.

@QasimRashid it’s important to remember that his executive orders are not laws. Any of us affected by them can simply refuse to comply. It only takes 3% of a population for a nonviolent revolution to succeed. #Resist.

@Tristan @QasimRashid If a revolution is nonviolent, can it even be called a revolution? That is not to say that violent revolutions are necessarily revolutionary (the American Revolution certainly wasn’t), but the only reason a nonviolent revolution would work out in the people’s favour is if the entire ruling class simply gave up their power, walked away, and then suddenly died.

@enoch_exe_inc @QasimRashid You're quite right of course. Still, non-compliance and forcing them to be violent in order to enforce compliance will spark the violent revolution. And in the mean time, we can give them all kinds of trouble.

@QasimRashid I understand the burning rage, many of us do. Can those former leaders afford to pay for their own security detail? Probably. Would it be as good as the Secret Service? Probably not. Or are you simply disappointed as I am? Because there is no low. He would happily cut their security detail as well.
