The only thing that will stop Trump is a grassroots movement using diverse tactics.

(not just protests! We need boycotts, strikes, slowdowns, guerrilla art, disruptions, gumming the works from the inside, etc) from a cross-section of society.

It’s on us.

Les gouvernements profitent de l'instabilité économique actuelle pour justifier des décisions qui mettent en péril notre avenir collectif. Ils promettent une chose et s’empressent de faire son contraire, souvent en catimini, à la faveur de projets de loi mammouth qui cherchent à étourdir la population

Des projets qui accélèrent l’accaparement et la destruction des territoires

If #Russia continues the humiliation of #Zelensky and Trump, then the #EU should waste no more time and allow #Ukraine European Union membership, post haste.

@TCMuffin Honestly, I hope she gets her license revoked. Also talk of her going to the USA to meet Trump. I doubt she can while on licence. And why would he be even remotely interested in some random racist from England?

Holy shit. This legit gave me chills. Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote. WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.

Pure coincidence, I'm sure, that the cities #Trump targets for military occupation are led by Black women. https://www.salon.com/2025/08/23/cities-led-by-black-women-are-the-first-targets-of-trumps-political-power-grab/
