An open letter to Democratic leaders. This is our Normandy. Marshall all our forces or lose to fascist rule.

Nazis are in the streets pounding on doors.
We have a secret police force.
We have concentration camps in the U.S.

What are we doing?

We are attacking the fascist assault on America like a Normandy invasion by thousand bass boats armed with 22's with no coordination. no powerful, strategic leadership.

The Fascists have a playbook. We don't.
I posted some informative links in this post:

The fascists have a playbook. Do we?

What are leaders doing?

Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been criss-crossing the country taking the anti-rich anti-authoritarian message to people in blue and red states.

Senators and representatives have spoken out loudly and powerfully in congress, which remains a rubber stamp for the Hitler Wannabe.

Governors have spoken out and put up resistance to the attempted destruction of state autonomy.
I'll be short on names because that's not the point.

There is no modern-day General Eisenhower coordinating forces, working strategies to deceive the enemy and break the fascist assault.

In between elections, there is no ongoing political or ideological leadership.
Except DNC, and I'll say no more about that organization.

UNTIL SUCH LEADERSHIP STEPS UP,

All I can offer is a list of organizations planning and conducting rallies, protests, boycotts and strikes.
Please update the list here in Activist Headquarters.

One Million Rising: Strategic Non-Cooperation to Fight Authoritarianism


https://www.nokings.org/rise


Across the country, authoritarian forces are getting bolder and more dangerous. Trump and his allies are not hiding their agenda: mass deportations, rollbacks of civil rights, weaponized courts, and full-scale attacks on our democracy. We don’t have to wait until it’s too late. We can stop this. But it’ll take all of us—not just single days of mass action, but sustained organizing in our communities.

That’s why this summer, we’re launching One Million Rising—a national effort to train one million people in the strategic logic and practice of non-cooperation, as well as the basics of community organizing and campaign design. This is how we build people power that can’t be ignored. You’re invited to join us—and lead.



In response to a post by Swede,
Nothing matters to them until it kicks in their front door and walks in and shits on their table.

Are WE waiting for them to kick in the door and shit on our tables? The time to take action is LAST YEAR.

Here's just the top of that post, in case anyone feels either:
a. despondent, or
b. powerless

We have collective power, under the leadership of organizations stepping up to the challenge.
Who will take the baton?

Now hear this:
Goddam it, we already have secret police and concentration camps.
Repeat:
Goddam it, we already have secret police and concentration camps.

Are we waiting for Leni Riefenstahl to stage a new military parade?

The fascists have a playbook. Do we?
The fascist playbook has been acted out for years.
Here are some explanations.
