    And at this rate if he does nuke and kill tens, hundreds of thousands, or millions of people, people will just be writing online about it. Democrats will be saying… “Nothing we could do, Israel good. You’re antisemitic.” Where are the protestors standing up against the aggression & genocidal threats, letting him know history will never forget, that he will be held accountable?

      The protesters are literally out in the streets, right now. As I type this. 50501, DSA, CodePink and others have been organizing nationally around this since the beginning. The republican reps don’t seem to particularly give a shit. Where are you?

        I’m not trying to be oppositional but have there been any solid improvements as a result of the protests? Because from the outside it just looks like a bunch of chaos spiraling further and further

          Like I said, those controlling congress do not not appear concerned right now with the streets packed and voicemail boxes full. They have an agenda from their chosen deity to do whatever trump says.

          So, I haven’t personally seen improvements, no. But also doesn’t mean we stop. May Day General strike, May 1st.

            I wish there was another avenue to direct the unity towards that actually makes the government change for the better

        are those the same planning protests on weekends to ensure they can be safely ignored?

          You are literally replying in a thread asking where protestors are/assuming they are doing nothing. Now pivoting to they are doing something, but it’s not enough. Are you holding a sign on a corner through the week? Are you shackling yourself to a federal building? Are you blocking an ICE driveway or denying access to a courtroom? Asking sincerely, please share what you envision for proper contribution.

            Not pivoting… “protesting” on a weekend means nothing
