Non-violence is not inaction. It is not discussion. It is not for the timid or weak. Non-Violence is hard work. It is the willingness to sacrifice. It is the patience to win.

Are we to believe the only good techies & hackers work for or are loyal to Trump & the GOP?
The miserable asshats in Congress along w/Trump & his cabinet of losers carry & use smartphones just like the rest of us. Surely, they can be hacked.
Turn their house alarms off. Sign them up on porn sites. Gut the computers in their cars. Wreck their credit scores & close bank & credit accounts
Disrupt their f'ing lives & make them scared for what's next
You want to know why some organizations are tearing their hair out trying to solve the problem by <just boycotting> or <just protesting>?
Because these #civildisobedience #tactics are never meant to stand alone in times of revolutionary action. They function as a unit to kneecap pillars of support.

Today in Labor History July 17, 1944: Two ammunition ships exploded at Port Chicago, CA (now known as the Concord Naval Weapons Center). The explosion killed 322 sailors, including 202 African-Americans assigned by the Navy to handle explosives. The explosion could be seen 35 miles away in San Francisco, across the Bay. In response, 258 African-Americans refused to return to the dangerous work, initiating what would be known as the Port Chicago Mutiny. 50 of the men were convicted and sentenced to hard labor. 47 were released in 1946. During their court proceedings, Thurgood Marshall, working then for the NAACP, prepared an appeal campaign, noting that only black men had been assigned to the dangerous munitions loading job. At the time, navy had over 100,000 black sailors, but no black officers. Beginning in 1990, a group of 25 Congressional leaders began a campaign to exonerate the mutineers. However, Congress did not exonerate the men until 2019.
In the 1980s, activists regularly protested at the Concord Naval Weapons Center against U.S. arms shipments to the Contras in Nicaragua. These shipments were supposedly secret, and illegal under the Congressional Boland Amendment. The base shipped 60,000 to 120,000 tons of munitions each year to U.S. forces and allies, including the Contras. On September 1, 1987, a weapons train deliberately ran over veterans who were blockading the tracks, including Brian Willson, who lost both of his legs, and a portion of his frontal lobe, in the collision. Days later, activists dismantled the train tracks. And for years after, activists maintained a 24-hour vigil at the site. The FBI had been surveilling Willson for more than a year as a “domestic terrorist,” even though all of his activism and protests had been entirely nonviolent. The train crew had been told to not stop the train, even if protesters were on the tracks.

Is Serbia in for a summer of civil disobedience?
After eight months of peaceful demonstrations, the protest movement in Serbia seems to be changing tack: as police violence intensifies, citizens are taking over from students, and protesters are adopting new strategies.

This is great, wouldn’t it be wonderful if on a set day, at a set time, people just stopped what there are doing and yelled “I am mad as hell and I am not going to take this anymore.” Another type of protest.

I absolutely LOVE the fact that organizers in #Hungary REFUSE to obey the attempted ban of the #Pride event in #Budapest.
If organizing for a movement that promotes #freedom and diversity is outlawed, #resistance and disobedience are the appropriate responses.
The enemies of freedom might not like it, but that’s their problem.
Do you think the current crisis in California will escalate calls for independence or strengthen its ties to the United States?

Being stuck in the Bronze Age in 2025 is bad enough - we'll be back in the Paleolithic without SUSTAINED mass acts of nonviolent #CivilDisobedience NOW. Not next weekend, not for the next news cycle. Get over the culture war NOW.
"Sources familiar with the matter have told #Antiwar.com Editorial Director Scott Horton that the Trump administration is poised to enter #Israel’s aggressive war against #Iran directly. US airstrikes on Iran could begin as soon as Monday."

Veterans and suppporters blockade US Capitol steps demanding troops and ICE off our streets
#veterans #civildisobedience #trump #parade
On the 13th of June, 24 hours before Trump's parade, Veterans and their supporters held a press conference at the US Supreme Court. They demanded that troops be removed from policing protests and ICE be sent home. They demanded that the money being spend on Trump's parade be spent instead on the people. They specifically demanded "Benefits not Bullshit." Note that Trump and DOGE are gutting the Veteran's Administration,
Speakers reminded current active duty servicemembers that their oath was to the Constitution not Trump and that unlawful orders must be defied. The broader message for current servicemembers was "it's time to choose."
The presser served as a diversion. Immediately afterwards protesters marched from SCOTUS onto the Capitol grounds. The "bicycle rack fence" barricade was breached and protesters charged the East steps, successfully occupying the steps.
During or immediately after the charge one person was apparently either thrown down the steps or tackled by cops on the concrete and injured. Once that situation settled down, things stabilized.
This proved to be a classic Capitol Hill civil disobedience. An estimated 60 people were arrested. Trump's threats of "very heavy force" turned out to be a load of hot air at least as far as this day before protest was concerned.
Ok, blue states. Time to get your leaders to meet up with Gavin Newsom and get the ball rolling on a blue state tax strike. Get on your phones and let your governors know it’s time. #strike #taxstrike #blue #civildisobedience
Justice and law are not synonyms. The advancement of justice and human freedom has always depended upon people with the courage to break the law. Slavery was legal, Jim Crow was legal, the Holocaust was legal. Obedience is no virtue when the laws are unjust. #CivilDisobedience This one is important -- listen to #HowardZinn if listening to me isn't good enough.
