A bunch of #resistance groups are coming together for a die-in at the #Utah state capitol on May 3rd. There are also a number of other events in Utah between now and then.

More power to you, red state resisters!

InstagramUtah Die In on Instagram: "All Utah people… Save the date!! It’s official! May 3rd at the Utah State Capitol, a Die-In will be happening!! So far, we are partnering with Utah50501, Green Wave Utah, Pro Choice Utah, Druids for Change, The Pleiadian Altar, Our Unsheltered Relatives… and in negotiations with others!! This will be an afternoon of speakers, musicians, poets, and a moment of silence where the community holds tombstones stating various reasons that they may have “died” (as a bell slowly tolls in the background) all in a protest against the policies that are affecting the health and safety of those living in America. There will be tons of tables for organizations the community can speak to, and get involved with… areas I’m focusing on are: Women’s Rights, LGBTQIA+ Rights, Science, Research, Education, Environmental Rights, Forestry, Racism (Indigenous Rights will be in focus), First Amendment Rights… you get the gist! #UtahDieIn"1,345 likes, 14 comments - utahdiein on April 2, 2025: "All Utah people… Save the date!!

#MassiveProtests Against #Trump are Just The Beginning

A co-founder of #Indivisible lays out a vision for harnessing millions of protesters into an unstoppable pro-democracy movement

by Tim Dickerson, April 8, 2025

Excerpts: "The demonstrations were organized by a broad coalition — including groups that rose to prominence in the first Trump administration, like Indivisible, upstarts like the #50501Movement, as well as established grassroots groups like #MoveOn. The upswell of resistance surprised even seasoned organizers. Indivisible cofounder #EzraLevin texted Rolling Stone on Friday to predict 'one of the largest single-day protests in years' adding that the public response was “kind of shocking."

[...]

"This was a Big Tent — everybody from like #DSA to #MattYglesias and #NeverTrump Republicans were endorsing it. I had briefly gotten excited about calling this the 'Normal March.'

"Like the wacko, MAGA, right-wing crazies are not gonna be part of this. But if you’re a normal person, you would want to take part. Because obviously you oppose #Project2025, you oppose #DOGE and the richest man in the world coming after your #SocialSecurity.

"But I’m happy we went with '#HandsOff.' It served as a good rallying cry, because we all come to this for different reasons. Maybe we’re concerned about the #tariffs, maybe we’re concerned about #TransKids in our community being targeted, or the #immigrants being disappeared, or maybe we’re concerned about Social Security. We’ve all got something to fight back on."

Qbert still refuses to hold anything but a censored telephone town hall, and that was only after Indivisible Northern Colorado repeatedly shamed her with "cardboard cutout" town halls.

This is from her district on April 5th. These are the *nice* people who are angry at her, and she can't handle that.

These AWOL #GOP COngress critters really can't handle the kind of reaction that's coming, and they can't hide much longer.

#Trump and his fascist squad really thought we wouldn’t notice 👀 But we see youuuuu

Join us, #Chicago, for the next #50501 national day of action on APRIL 19th at Daley Plaza. 12 noon.

THE PEOPLE’S PROTEST: JOY AS RESISTANCE. They can’t steal our joy. Bring your loudest, most defiant energy against fascism.

I remain very disappointed that Houston Public Media provided no local reporting on the 6,000-strong protest turnout on April 5, 2025, in front of city hall. Even in the short photo coverage piece on their site, they mention Texas and show three photos of the protest in Austin. 🫤 There is no mention of Houston turnout or that 35 protests were happening across Texas cities.

What??

On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.

We are committed to building our peaceful People’s Movement and achieving 3.5% participation. History shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.

Follow to join our Movement, and save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th.
