So proud of the walk and talk group for making show Paris represents solidarity with Minnesota. The resistance is burgeoning

Continuing the series of weaknesses of Dictatorships as identified by Gene Sharp.

Donald Trump is a fascist dictator. Let's be clear. But he is not forever his régime is not forever. We can take him down. Drop a like for Part 2. #genesharp

OK head's up - protest today at 3p Bastille against US imperialism in Venezuela france.attac.org/actus-et-med...

Abroad, I telegram to use #resistbot to send emails to my congressppl easily. Love it. I'm glad they have an alternative to fb msgr that I can use.

It's rare we get to see the talking points before the fact. Look here how congress is telling the fascists to support DJT when his PDF BFF 's files drop. Read the full memo here: drive.google.com/file/d/1ezXF...

Indivisible Paris to proud to support the Starbucks Red Cup Rebellion #strike, now in its third week. Resisters protested in front of a Starbucks in Paris in order to spread the word to French citizens. #solidarity @sbworkersunited.org

Even in Paris we are doing our part to #boycottAmazon & other corporate enablers of the Trump régime. We vote with our dollars; every purchase away from corporate oligarchs is another chip at their armor. Together we can collapse their power. You matter. Your money matters. Show them.

Come cause you hate t-bag the orange. Stay cause you're making new friends.

@schumer.senate.gov Re: voting yes on CR + Clôture At this point, you should just resign. You're spineless, weak, and ineffectual. You're willing to rubber stamps their atrocious spending bill to maintain bipartisan appearance. No bipartisanship with Nazis! How is this so hard for you to get?

Les ricains était en force auj à #république pour la #journéedelafemme Reconnaissance totale à la France et je suis toujours impressionnée par la qualité de leurs manifs DJT est une menace pour les droits des femmes mondiales

Taking a break from Dr Sharp for a sec to talk to my fellow #americansabroad Re voter suppression 13 states categorically disenfranchise US citizens, born abroad, from voting Alabama Alaska Arkansas Florida Idaho Indiana Louisiana Maryland Mississippi Missouri Pennsylvania Texas Wyoming 🧵/?

Resistance options: Citizens' noncooperation with government From the book "From Dictatorship to Democracy" by Nobel Peace Prize nominated #GeneSharp For more info on these tactics: nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/browse-methods 🧵

Citizens' alternatives to obedience From #GeneSharp 's 198 point list. Non violence is not compliance. Non violence is the way we move forward. Violence begets violence, and our police state is more equipped with weapons than our citizens. nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/browse-methods

Possible resistance actions by government personnel #genesharp

145. General administrative noncooperation When Felon and Nazi orchestrate a coup/ illegal takeover there can be no business as usual. We saw with the Treasury, Nazi crept in on the weekend and locked the civil servants out. They will do that to all the agencies they don't like.

146. Judicial noncooperation This one is for the #judge s (I'm proud of the judges that have been challenging the illegal EOs) nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/category/gen... #GeneSharp

@resist.bot Hi! I love what you do. The uptick in letters sent pre and post inauguration is hope inducing. I know you also operate with SMS. But I'm a citizen abroad, and don't have a US # So I use resist bot thru fb messenger. I'd love to leave meta tho and keep resistbotting. 🧵1/2

147. Deliberate inefficiency and selective noncooperation by enforcement agents #Elon wouldn't be tryna but you out if he wasn't scared of the power to disrupt that you hold. #Read up on how ppl have made this tactic work for them: nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/category/gen...

148. Mutiny Section: Action by #government #personnel Here is a link to the free PDF version of the book. Read it! #GeneSharp spent his whole career researching non violent movements that topple tyranny. Don't despair! Inform yourself how to fight! www.nonviolent-conflict.org/resource/fro...

149. Quasi Legal évasions and delays This one is for the govt employees. Inspo examples here: nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/category/gene-sharps-198/149-quasi-legal-evasions-and-delays

150. Noncooperation by constituent governmental units If u work for local gov disobey (clap clap) If you work for state gov disobey (clap clap) If you work for federal gov disobey (clap clap) If ur terrified that trump plans To disenfranchise/ enslave us Don't take the money stay and disobey 🧵

How to resist non violently International governmental action From the book " From Dictatorship to Democracy" by #GeneSharp #americansabroad in #EU write to officials at every level of government in your adopted countries - this is Christo-Fascism and must not be underestimated.

151. Changes in diplomatic and other representation I 💙 #GeneSharp for devoting his entire career to studying non violent movements and cataloging the resistance tactics, so that anyone battling tyranny has inspo and resources ready. Action item for #americansabroad #france in the comments.

152. Delay and Cancellation of diplomatic events nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/category/gene-sharps-198/152-delay-and-cancellation-diplomatic-events This database is THE gold mine for resistance inspo. Don't stay ignorant, learn how movements topple fascists.

153. Withholding of diplomatic recognition #EU leaders, if ever you have loved USA, please, withhold diplomatic recognition of the current Republican President. Dems won't say it, but we all know, it was a coup that installed Trump. Those elections were neither free nor fair. 🧵 I💙 #GeneSharp

154. Severance of diplomatic relations Like Venezuelan president Romulo Betancourt + other OAS members, did against Dominican Dictator, Trujillo. nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/content/dominican-activists-challenge-rafael-trujillo-s-dictatorship-fourteenth-june-movement-1959-1

Paris satellite of the ppls' march was successful. (We rallied in lieu of march) Place république - about 100 people in the bitter freezing cold. Proud to have been part of the org team. Hope all your marches go great today.

I assume there's a belief in the innate right of airistocracy to their place at the top underlying this, and it's misrepresented as economics because Americans nominally rejected aristocracy. Otherwise, I can't understand the high correlation between populism and loyalty to superiors.

I'll be there. Can't wait.

155. Withdrawal from international organizations (Post is part of a series going over #GeneSharp 's Nobel Peace Prize nominated work on non violent resistance) By educating yourself you resist smarter and better. nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/category/gen...

156. Refusal of membership in international bodies #resist I 💙 #GeneSharp

How to resist non violently 157. Expulsion from international organizations The database example- OAS threatening to kick Honduras out after their coup that ousted Pres. Zelaya nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/content/hondurans-campaign-return-former-president-zelaya-2009-2011

How to resist non violently method # 158. Self exposure to the elements I 💙 #GeneSharp

160. Reverse Trial I'm hoping a certain Italian plumber ;) will do just this during his trial, hopefully the judges will allow the media in. I 💙 #GeneSharp #resist

161. Non violent harassment I can think of quite a few public officials to whom I'd like to apply this strategy. I 💙 #GeneSharp #resist

How to #resist non violently: Physical Intervention! 💙 Dr #GeneSharp whose life's work was studying resistance mvmts. Check out this database Swarthmore College made from his 198 point list. It's a real gold mine of #resistance ideas to study. nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu

166. Mill-in I 💙 #GeneSharp Reposts appreciated 👍

167. Pray-in I 💙 #GeneSharp nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/category/gene-sharps-198/167-pray

168. Non Violent Raids "They nevertheless try." Sums it up, donnit? How is everyone's Jan 18th planning going? nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/browse-methods Photo example is Julia "Butterfly" Hill. I💙 #GeneSharp

Alright fam, happy holidays. See you the 26th. @pukabear.bsky.social ✊

169. Non violent air raids. I 💙 #GeneSharp Thank you to those that are liking/RP these. I truly believe this is important knowledge to have for anyone who gives a sh about doing something to stop tyranny. Dr Gene Sharp spent his life's work studying civil movements.

#170 Nonviolent invasion I 💙 #GeneSharp Example is worth every one of the ten min it takes to read it. It should honestly be turned into a movie. nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/content/us-disability-rights-activists-adapt-win-support-governors-medicaid-reform-2002-2005

171. Nonviolent interjection #TIL that no one knows who Tank Man is or what became of him. Tank Man obstructed these tanks the day after 🇨🇳 govt violently cleared out thousands of student protestors, killing many. But you don't have to #resist in front of a tank, 👮‍♂️,🪖 also fit.

#172 Nonviolent Obstruction Sometimes all it takes is one body. Example in comments. :) Thanks for reading. #resist #genesharp
