If you are wearing red/white/blue clothes, position yourself and others to resemble/form an US flag when viewed from above

This would be noticeable from higher views, and would show your coordination and love for the country, and can be used in symbolic ways. (The country is for the people!)

(Reddit Repost) Musk stepping down is part of broader plans - Explained

Repost from https://reddit.com/r/50501/comments/1jpzmrt/musk_stepping_down_is_part_of_broader_plans/ because I think it is important.

Rumors are milling about that Musk is stepping down, cool, great, grand and dandy. "Progress" is what it will seem like, as if they are running.

Suffice to say I've been watching and listening for a bit so lets get to the part where it's bad (edit:) if we allow ourselves and the public to grow complacent.

Project 2025

  • People have been focused on the "flood" aspect of P2025, forgetting that this was planned over a long span of time with contingencies. Such as the fact Project 2025 has already compiled a massive list of "loyalists" who have applied to help them as employees in their little new-world-order business.

The Hatchet Man

  • A common trick of businesses in Drumpy-boys era was to release someone into the system of a business, letting them cut and hack and harm, only to then "remove" them in some manner with all the assurances that "they can't do anything now, we're safe" before doing the real damage that was intended.

Orange-man and the GOP are going to pull a fast one on the general public. Musk will "step down", then all of those gutted safety-net positions will be backfilled with loyalists who will answer to primarily to GOP leadership and Orange-guy.

You might be saying "Why would he re-instate X or Y or Z departments?" for many, he wont. Not to mention others will be made/renamed to perform other tasks that seem like its back to normal on paper, they wont be either.

Oversight groups meant to come down on companies? Corpos? Musk? Nothing. What will happen however is that the entire system will be so utterly corrupted from the inside as to mean nothing anymore.

The heat dies down, people calm down a bit because it looks like things are going back to normal, the threat wont be so immediate, this is on purpose. But it'll have been the win-condition. The treatment for a wounded nation will then be to poison it fully from the top, down.

Project 2025 can't be defeated with a simple impeachment, it can't be broken with voting out some major faces like the pres or vp... This isn't something we "return to normal" over.

Regardless of the ending to this fiasco, this entire system is getting a re-write as was anticipated by the founding fathers...right now you folks are deciding who gets to hold the pen.

Tennessee Ernie Ford - Sixteen Tons, Released July 1947

Wikipedia

::: spoiler Lyrics

Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, whattaya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don'cha call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number-nine coal
And the straw boss said, "Well bless my soul!"

You load sixteen tons, whattaya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don'cha call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one morning, it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion
Can't no high-toned woman make me walk the line

You load sixteen tons, whattaya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don'cha call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

If you see me comin' better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't getcha then the left one will

You load sixteen tons, whattaya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don'cha call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

Put on a show for the protests

Wear costumes, do some kind of singing, do some stuff that will catch the eye of news! There was a Pikachu at the Turkey protests, and there was a democrat senator who called out the defunding of public television like PBS by saying that Sesame Street would be humorously considered woke to them. Have those characters show up in protests!

Can you send me some videos/pictures? I'm thinking about making an archive.

I want to potentially start an archive, if there isn't one. I need a place to keep up with the evidence of the regime, because there is a lot of bullshit they are doing and we need to organize our evidence to show to people the ugly side of the Trump regime. Turnout, protests, informal videos, footage, evidence articles, anything related. If you need to upload videos, use catbox.moe.

Mahmoud Khalil makes a response letter from an ICE detention center in Louisiana

https://ccrjustice.org/sites/default/files/attach/2025/03/Letter_from_a_Palestinian_Political_Prisoner_in_Louisiana_March_18,_2025.pdf

The letter reads as follows:

Letter from a Palestinian Political Prisoner in Louisiana Dictated over the phone from ICE Detention March 18, 2025

My name is Mahmoud Khalil and I am a political prisoner. I am writing to you from a detention facility in Louisiana where I wake to cold mornings and spend long days bearing witness to the quiet injustices underway against a great many people precluded from the protections of the law.

Who has the right to have rights? It is certainly not the humans crowded into the cells here. It isn’t the Senegalese man I met who has been deprived of his liberty for a year, his legal situation in limbo and his family an ocean away. It isn’t the 21-year-old detainee I met, who stepped foot in this country at age nine, only to be deported without so much as a hearing.

Justice escapes the contours of this nation’s immigration facilities.

On March 8, I was taken by DHS agents who refused to provide a warrant, and accosted my wife and me as we returned from dinner. By now, the footage of that night has been made public. Before I knew what was happening, agents handcuffed and forced me into an unmarked car. At that moment, my only concern was for Noor’s safety. I had no idea if she would be taken too, since the agents had threatened to arrest her for not leaving my side. DHS would not tell me anything for hours — I did not know the cause of my arrest or if I was facing immediate deportation. At 26 Federal Plaza, I slept on the cold floor. In the early morning hours, agents transported me to another facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey. There, I slept on the ground and was refused a blanket despite my request.

My arrest was a direct consequence of exercising my right to free speech as I advocated for a free Palestine and an end to the genocide in Gaza, which resumed in full force Monday night. With January’s ceasefire now broken, parents in Gaza are once again cradling too-small shrouds, and families are forced to weigh starvation and displacement against bombs. It is our moral imperative to persist in the struggle for their complete freedom.

I was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria to a family which has been displaced from their land since the 1948 Nakba. I spent my youth in proximity to yet distant from my homeland. But being Palestinian is an experience that transcends borders. I see in my circumstances similarities to Israel’s use of administrative detention — imprisonment without trial or charge — to strip Palestinians of their rights. I think of our friend Omar Khatib, who was incarcerated without charge or trial by Israel as he returned home from travel. I think of Gaza hospital director and pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who was taken captive by the Israeli military on December 27 and remains in an Israeli torture camp today. For Palestinians, imprisonment without due process is commonplace.

I have always believed that my duty is not only to liberate myself from the oppressor, but also to liberate my oppressors from their hatred and fear. My unjust detention is indicative of the anti-Palestinian racism that both the Biden and Trump administrations have demonstrated over the past 16 months as the U.S. has continued to supply Israel with weapons to kill Palestinians and prevented international intervention. For decades, anti-Palestinian racism has driven efforts to expand U.S. laws and practices that are used to violently repress Palestinians, Arab Americans, and other communities. That is precisely why I am being targeted.

While I await legal decisions that hold the futures of my wife and child in the balance, those who enabled my targeting remain comfortably at Columbia University. Presidents Shafik, Armstrong, and Dean Yarhi-Milo laid the groundwork for the U.S. government to target me by arbitrarily disciplining pro-Palestinian students and allowing viral doxing campaigns — based on racism and disinformation — to go unchecked.

Columbia targeted me for my activism, creating a new authoritarian disciplinary office to bypass due process and silence students criticizing Israel. Columbia surrendered to federal pressure by disclosing student records to Congress and yielding to the Trump administration's latest threats. My arrest, the expulsion or suspension of at least 22 Columbia students — some stripped of their B.A. degrees just weeks before graduation — and the expulsion of SWC President Grant Miner on the eve of contract negotiations, are clear examples.

If anything, my detention is a testament to the strength of the student movement in shifting public opinion toward Palestinian liberation. Students have long been at the forefront of change — leading the charge against the Vietnam War, standing on the frontlines of the civil rights movement, and driving the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. Today, too, even if the public has yet to fully grasp it, it is students who steer us toward truth and justice.

The Trump administration is targeting me as part of a broader strategy to suppress dissent. Visa-holders, green-card carriers, and citizens alike will all be targeted for their political beliefs. In the weeks ahead, students, advocates, and elected officials must unite to defend the right to protest for Palestine. At stake are not just our voices, but the fundamental civil liberties of all.

Knowing fully that this moment transcends my individual circumstances, I hope nonetheless to be free to witness the birth of my first-born child.

Show photos of the white house insurrection.

People forgot that it happened. We should remind them. That insurrection was caused by nobody but Trump and the rest of the insurrectionists who got pardoned.

I heard that there will be a meeting to celebrate those Jan 6 rioters getting out of jail. Remind them of the blatant disrespect of the white house. Remind them of the people and police they killed during the riot. Remind them of the gallows and the threats they made looking for representatives like Mike Pence. Remind them that they are nothing more than traitors.
