#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."

National Day of Action was a success today. But it’s only the beginning. @hrbrmstr and I went to the #HandsOff event in Portland, ME. Had a conversation with a lovely couple originally from France. We talked about what it took to get worker reform there in 1968, resulting in resignation of President de Gaulle. I’d support a #NationalWorkOff Week — workers all over the United States show up but refuse to do any work. How about July 1 - 7? #Indivisible #MoveOn #WomensMarch

To my fellow famously #protest-averse #Americans:

#April5

#MoveOn, #Indivisible, 50501, etc are having nationwide demonstrations

Everyone show up

*Everyone*

"But I have to go to Starbucks and scroll Instagram"

The #economy is about to go in the toilet due to #Trump. That's a thing a lot of you assholes pretend to care about

The rest of us will be there for #NeriAlvaradoBorges

@DarkAthena I agree. I took a look at the handful of so-called 50states protests posted here in the fedi, and they all look fake to me. I would be wary.

Compare those for example to the events being organized by #Indivisible and #MoveOn, like the one at the US treasury on Tuesday afternoon. That looks legit.

We all need to carefully vet who is organizing various protests. Make sure event organizers are local, established, trustworthy.

I may be juggling (poorly) too many SM accounts...
But, if, on the off chance anyone is interested in a new single, from a guy that is almost never here...
"Find New Shores" will be streaming everywhere on 11/4 (the day before.. dun, dun, dun..), but it is available now on BC.
I'm pretty proud of it - I hope you like it.

#MoveOn — mit #Stadtradeln Daten

Das Vorläufer-Projekt #MoveBIS hatte die Daten noch in offener Lizenz veröffentlicht und auch die Zivilgesellschaft konnte damit rumspielen. In den letzten Jahren mussten Kommunen darum kämpfen und dafür zahlen wenn sie die Daten selbst darstellen wollten. Die Rohdaten verfügbar machen durften sie aber nicht.

Wie kann es sein das der Staat mit dem #Mobilitätsdatengesetz Unternehmen zwingen will die Live Daten zu veröffentlichen (1/2)
