    Yeah I know about the murders but what are Americans doing about THAT? And the fascism problem?! Why there isn’t a general strike happening right now - baffles the mind.

      It takes time to build parallel systems of support. Asking “WhY hAsN’T sOmEoNe DoNe SoMeThIng‽” From behind your keyboard is not helping those systems that are being built.

      They are currently planning the 2nd general strike… Minneapolis was nominated for the nobel prize precisely because of how effective their resistance has been and continues to be. There are thousands of private signal chats all over the state constantly organizing and responding directly to action on the ground. Your comment just seems like defeatist barely veiled concern trolling.

        Let’s see. He’s still president despite blatantly defying court orders, mocking and firing anyone who doesn’t blindly support him, he destroyed a section of the WH, his private gestapo are murdering people in the streets, he’s all over the Epstein files, he’s earning money hand over foot in bribes, and operating concentration camps. And yet he remains in power Americans can’t muster a feasible resistance to the above. That’s hardly concern trolling.

          The Republicans have all 3 branches of government. You’re acting like because no one has a magic wand to waive this all away, that this means they have failed. Public opinion has swung heavily against Trump. 90% of ICE action seems to have ended in Minnesota. The resistance is winning in every way that it can. But defeatists will always point out what hasn’t been accomplished, instead of what has. Factions of the left are more organized than at any point since Civil Rights. Millions of people across the country are mobilized and active in their communities. Every single day Trump is in office his opposition grows. This isn’t nothing, stop acting like it is.
