Demonstrators gathered in cities across the U.S. on Wednesday to protest the Trump administration’s early actions, decrying everything from the president’s immigration crackdown to his rollback of transgender rights and a proposal to forcibly transfer Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
…
The protests were a result of a movement that has organized online under the hashtags #buildtheresistance and #50501, which stands for 50 protests, 50 states, one day. Websites and accounts across social media issued calls for action, with messages such as “reject fascism” and “defend our democracy.”

BONUS
At work–I can’t afford to protest with what’s coming for this economy
People worked right up till they were put in camps in the 30’s, too.
Don’t worry other people will do it just like last time, too.
That’s fair, keep the protest attitude, but take care of your family first!
Sounds like there could’ve been a protest at your work.
unemployment and homelessness speed run any% world record
there is a very good reason our economy is set up like it is.
I’ve got bad news for you if you think doing your capitalist duty and going into work while fascists take over is going to somehow work out later.
Employment lawyers exist for a reason. Better use their services now before they’re all gone because the Trump Admin got rid of OSHA and the rest of our rights. Use em or lose em.

Cuz if you’re unemployed you can def afford a lawyer🤣 W E I R D T I M E L I N E
Examples of Strikes, mass protests, and revolutions that happened when things were easy for the strikers to go out and do them:
Times the police, military, and other centrist citizens did everything to directly stop or persuade them to stop: (all)
Some employment lawyers only get paid if you do. Research is your friend.

Ever heard that phrase?
Heard it bunches from ads used as an attention-getter. Heard it personally from someone who thought it would help him out–He lost tho.
Laws are only for the poor and only when they don’t help them. This is something I don’t hear almost ever oddly enough
So… He didn’t have to pay? So it worked exactly like it sounds?
I didn’t read anything about any guarantee of victory.
