    Americans… this is why you NEED to take the streets now

    The same illegality and callousness that keeps the people in power from upholding the law will be in place when they decide you cannot keep your house or should be jailed for whatever reason with no process or even kill you for anything (such as speaking up)… you think you are not affected and keep your head down may save you but it won’t.

      There have been multiple protests every week in my city for months. I see virtually no coverage of it in the news.

      I think we need a better strategy.

        General strike or, if feeling more aggressive, protest directly in front of the news stations. Peacefully prevent their staff from leavind anywhere without covering the event

          Are y’all not seeing more protests, and bigger protests than you were in 2020? The only difference here is that I haven’t seen violence or property damage. Otherwise the protests are bigger and more frequent.
