We are building a massive, visible, national rejection of this crisis—and today’s numbers are proof that the people—the majority—are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover.
Because let’s be clear: We do not have a functioning democracy anymore. Trump and his billionaire allies have dismantled our system of checks and balances, stacked the courts, silenced dissent, and declared themselves above the law.
They are disappearing people, attacking universities and the free press, and purging agencies meant to protect the people—from the environment to civil rights to public health.
This is not politics as usual. This is a hostile takeover by billionaires, corporations, and authoritarian enablers.
They are gutting the country for parts—and selling us out in the process.
They are not leaders. They are traitors to the people of this country.
So we are building a People’s Movement. And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.
But we have to earn it. And we have to fight for it.
We may no longer have a functioning democracy—but we still have a chance to restore it. The window is closing though. And we are the ones who must rise to meet this moment.
So here’s what you can do: 📱 Use the 5 Calls app or Resist Bot to contact your elected officials—every single day.
🎤 Demand town halls. Show up at their public appearances.
🚫 Boycott the corporations funding this hostile takeover.
🗣️ Talk to your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. Don’t let them sleep through this moment.
📸 Share protest footage, updates, and facts on social media. Amplify the truth—because the billionaires are trying to drown it out.
📲 And follow us to stay connected, get updates, and join future actions.
We are not alone. We are not powerless. And we are not backing down.

More people showed up in DC yesterday (100k ) than at Jan 6th (80k high estimate - snopes.com ).
This is the beginning, not the end result. Protest activity is off the charts and rising steadily:

These movements take time to build, but this one is building much faster than previous efforts. I've been on the front lines since the 2nd Iraq War protests (which were huge) and this movement is already larger, smarter, and more organized.
It is making a difference - don't allow yourself to believe otherwise. You can see the cracks starting already with the infighting at the top of Trump's team and the defection of key republicans.
They're just as scared of our mob as they are of theirs.
Because we're stronger than they are - there are a lot more of us - and we have REAL cause to be angry now.
What's really interesting about the effort to dismiss these protests is by comparing them to centrally organized protests of the past like the women's march. Those antiwar protests are probably the closest comparison since there was no institutional backing then either.
The thing that gets me is that this movement is literally from reddit, by redditors, organized by real people exclusively. No corporate sponsors or dem support, no campaigning or fundraising. Just people going to the streets saying "we are peaceful now. Do not force our hand" and 3 million came out.
Keep pushing the message keep spreading the info, this is the result after only 2 months of activity that went completely unseen on any mainstream media. Make them regret it. Make them being afraid your greatest weapon. Those republican stooges love to hear MSm isn't covering something. Wake them up. Turn them into patriots willing to fight for this country. Dismantle this regime and return power to Americans.
