Call to Action This is how you resist Trump: Chicago Mayor signs executive order directing agencies to resist Trump
https://reddit.com/link/1n4bmlh/video/6kbh37cau7mf1/player
We need every city to do this to make it official for local communities to have the local support they need. To be able to call someone locally to know you can count on them. I don't know how big you see this but in my eyes its pretty big.

Trolls and bad faith actors my guess, you don't see this energy for what newsom is doing.

There was a post recently that showed almost 50% of IP addresses were coming from Russia for some topics about Trump on reddit.

What needs to happen - when they arrive, a response from the police and city officials.
REFUSE to assist, help or ALLOW illegal actions.
Show me a warrant, refuse to allow illegal actions.

u/kdubs8898 1d ago
Agreed we need more action like this. For those that are saying this performative stfu, you don't have that energy for newsom and the other brave politicians loudly fighting Trump. This is a good, every little action helps during this time

This isn’t a little action, this is an admirable act of a brave mayor. Illinois is standing up! Both the governor and now Chicago’s mayor fighting against illegal acts of tfg’s administration. Good on them! I say it’s illegal because Mississippi and Louisiana both have higher crime rates than Illinois so if crime rates are the emergency start there.

Russian boys. You mean American bots? Russia doesn't even have to get involved anymore

u/snoller101 22h ago
No, I mean Russian bots.
But you're not wrong there's plenty of American traitors who are posting the same Russian agitprop.
MAGATS are traitors.

The announcement is a performance. The action is the resistance. Don’t treat this like a victory until something is won.

u/ImpeachConvictRemove 1d ago
It all counts. A leader who’s willing to stand up like this is all too rare nowadays. It should be encouraged.

u/CrytonAbyss 1d ago
this is what im saying as well. why cant be just praise the good actions WHILE keep doing what we do?

u/BedpanExpress 1d ago
It's not hard to to do both, unless you're here in bad faith. I understand the other comments pointing towards dire times, but this is a necessary resistance, and now we have another person of authority to help enable said resistance in another state threatened by the Dump Admin. This should be actively empowering not only their citizens, but other persons of authority to stand up against this bullshit in order to resist fascism.
Also, this country has been protesting statewide ever since this trash administration took over again this year, and that has not stopped for a damned good reason. Remember what Kevin Roberts (Heritage Foundation) threatened us with in 2024: We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be.

Because the whole party seems to be about the performance over the action. Cool someone said. Like that “very powerful letter” Jeffries seems to think will save DC. We elected these people to be leaders. Not to make some half assed performance and skip over to another donor dinner.

ok but what should they do that they arent doing? concrete

u/shotthroughtheshart 1d ago
Dismiss NG commanders that are not loyal to the people and replace them with those who are. That’s a start.

u/cvc4455 1d ago
And what states specifically should do this where they have NG commanders that aren't loyal to the people? If it's not a state run by Democrats then Democrats can't do that. If it's a state with Republicans running it then having 1,000 or more people protesting outside of their homes demanding it and refusing to leave until it happens is the only way a Republican run state would do that.

Better than rolling over and thanking a pedo wannabe dictator for "helping with crime" which is bs

Speech can inspire action, but we should not rely on the action of our government.

u/CrytonAbyss 1d ago
i agree but still what should they do that they arent doing now?
3
u/saltyourhash 1d ago
Organize the community. They are its leaders. I get that they have to walk a fine line, but so many officials seem unwilling to risk even their careers to take a stand. This is still a start, it's good messaging for a worried public.

How do we get Reddit to include a little flag icon based on the originating IP? That would be handy!

We should also protest russian bots that post misinformation by commenting only facts on conservative platforms to wake people up on those places

Purely performative.
Like...what are they gonna do when it comes down to it?

u/CrytonAbyss 1d ago
what do you want them to do? or let me ask you this, what do you want them to do that you don't think they would?

This may be performative, but it will motivate the people to take action. This may be performative, but this performance can start the action. This matters.

Pick a scandal, any scandal. Lil Durk and other campaign financing issues, do-not-hire list, racial hiring, , Reddit will tolerate corrupt politicians, so long as they are Democrats.

So, in order to resist trump, you need to (checks notes) resist trump? That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see how it plays out.
