So after the massive protests.....What do we do on June 15th?

[lastlib]

And beyond? We cannot bask in our laurels, self-congratulating for having spoken up one day, then lie dormant. What is the strategy for after these protests? Has anybody thought that far ahead? Do we have a plan? I'm reminded of the scene in "High Plains Drifter" when Malachi asks "What about after we do it?" and the gunslinger (Clint Eastwood) says,, "Then you live with it." That can't just be the answer now. We have to do whatever is needed to continue taking the fight to the tRumpists. What is it?

Asking for a friend (America).

1. On the 15th? Reflect and observe. nt

2. While tRump and his flying monkeys rape our democracy?

Personally, I'm not really in for that. YMMV.

6. It's important to see the response before planning anything. Otherwise it means acting without knowledge.

I agree, my millage varies.

5. Much will depend on their response...

to our protests...

Krasnov is such a slippery sucker... as is Stephen Miller...
They will call foul... create more chaos... stir the pot...
no matter which High Road we take...

If the Christ Himself was leading our protest, ICE + DHS + CBP
would be there to declare Him illegal... slap on the cuffs + ship
him to Guantanamo or El Salvador or wherever... No act of God
would keep them from that photo op...

3. Protests are every day, this is all hands on deck. Every day until this is over

7. That's the kind of response I want!

Don't let the basturds have a moment's peace. They give us no peace, we have to respond comensurately, IMHO.

4. Hope That Martial Law Isn't Declared!

addressing this possibility...

How do we respond???

8. HIGHLY rec getting involved with an Indivisible group. It makes all the difference. JAmie Raskin

recently said at an online town hall, "get involved with a group. THey will tell you what to do" ANd senator Merkley has said the same, a number of times. I have heard him say get involved with Indivisible and get involved with a group.
I have become increasingly involved with Indivisible and am very impressed with them.
They have plans way beyond Saturday. TRy their weekly "What's the PLan" organizing calls. Very inspiring and practical.

9. THANK you! You've given the best idea yet.

I don't think there is a group very close to me, but maybe one will start up. I'm dubious of my own ability to organize something like that, but I can be a good follower!

10. THey have all kinds of online and Zoom stuff you can do. I only found a live group a few months ago; the rest of the

stuff i did before that was online. Have you checked their website?
PM me if you want some other ideas. And definitely sign up for their THursday What's the PLan online meetings. Guaranteed to make you feel better.
