This would be noticeable from higher views, and would show your coordination and love for the country, and can be used in symbolic ways. (The country is for the people!)

Deja Foxx for AZ-07!

Maybe we can learn a thing or two.

Some people say a man is made out of mud
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons, whattaya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don'cha call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number-nine coal
And the straw boss said, "Well bless my soul!"

You load sixteen tons, whattaya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don'cha call me, 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was born one morning, it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion
Can't no hig

Wear costumes, do some kind of singing, do some stuff that will catch the eye of news! There was a Pikachu at the Turkey protests, and there was a democrat senator who called out the defunding of public television like PBS by saying that Sesame Street would be humorously considered woke to them. Have those characters show up in protests!

Thats if, we even have fair elections anymore, or if we can coordinate well enough.

I found this cool guide from r/50501. It is from u/MGSFFVII and they spent a lot of time on it. Covers from protesting, to boycotting and eliminating big tech, to recruitment and community.

If this passes, Elon Musk will win 50 billion dollars! Among other things that benefit the rich! Contact your legislator!

The letter reads as follows:

Letter from a Palestinian Political Prisoner in Louisiana Dictated over the phone from ICE Detention March 18, 2025

My name is Mahmoud Khalil and I am a political prisoner. I am writing to you from a detention facility in Louisiana where I wake to cold mornings and spend long days bearing witness to the quiet injustices underway against a great many people precluded from the protections of the law.

Who has the right to have rights? It is certainly not the humans crowded into the cells here. It isn’t the Senegalese man I met who has been deprived of his liberty for a year, his legal situation in limbo and his family an ocean away. It isn’t the 21-year-old detainee I met, who stepped foot in this country at age nine, only to be deported without so much as a hearing.

Justice escapes the contours of this nation’s immigratio

People forgot that it happened. We should remind them. That insurrection was caused by nobody but Trump and the rest of the insurrectionists who got pardoned.

I heard that there will be a meeting to celebrate those Jan 6 rioters getting out of jail. Remind them of the blatant disrespect of the white house. Remind them of the people and police they killed during the riot. Remind them of the gallows and the threats they made looking for representatives like Mike Pence. Remind them that they are nothing more than traitors.

So far, my city doesn't seem to have a local protestor group and I was wondering how to find one. At the least, I want to be in contact with one.

Pack up your bags, Tesla is woke. You heard it from Elon Musk himself.

I decided to start a list of links as I thought that there was no collection of links. We should collect links and images relating to 50501. Please share this list around. If you want to save this repo to your hard drive, click the view source button and copy. Give suggestions to add or edit to the list, via replies or messages, description is not required but appreciated.

If you are creating a guide or list for protestors, lets link to each other so we can get a info network!

Other lists:

• https://www.buildtheresistance.org/resources 's table
• https://thepeopledissent.substack.com/p/a-map-of-protests-march-22-29 Some one on Substack compiled an interactive map of 530 protest locations, along with a list of links too.

Organizing:

• 50501 Protest in every state capitol! Find actions/virtual actions, Flyer templates so you can edit to include details, and some other resources

Project 2025 expected protests to happen, which is so they can invoke the Insurrection Act. But I think they didn't expect the magnitude of push back, being that protests are organized all across every state in multiple locations, and people are taking to the internet to pressure politicians. The flood the zone strategy has backfired, because it made a lot of leftists focus on the news and find out that 50501 exists and rally around it. Before, organized protests for every capitol has not happened in this country, until now. Reddit was their blind spot when they were stealing leftist social media. It took ONE r/50501 post to rise to r/popular and have everyone notice it (I KNOW those Reddit admins shadowbanned r/50501 from r/popular). How many other blind spots can we exploit? And how can we use our current leverage against their plans?

Twitter was replaced by this website for a couple of minutes. In the website, it states that it's purpose is to fight the fascism plaguing America, and lists helpful info/resources on protesting, OPSEC, and evil groups assisting with Trump's agenda. It even mentions 50501 and Tesla Takedown within the resources.

My post blew up on the Lemmy fediverse, and I think in order to convince the other side to question Trump, we should spread the anti-fascist film Don't Be A Sucker (watch here) everywhere. Start posting it on all 50501 socials, start posting/spreading it on Twitter, and maybe make it a chant so it gets on the news.

Not to be confused with Trump calling veterans "suckers" and "losers" (he also dodged drafting btw), which is unfortunate since I also would like to spread that Trump has no respect for veterans.

How Hitler used hate to gain power and that its not worth it to fall for hate. Worth a watch, you can even do a movie night on it maybe, its scary.

I'd say that we should not mirror Reddit comments if our comments will not be mirrored to the subreddit. It will not allow for Lemmy users to give their thoughts on the sub's posts because it would be hard to find Lemmy comments. But afaik, the mirror only saves posts for 15 to 30 days? With that restriction, it might be slightly pointless to not mirror comments.

I would like to be able to cooperate with the people on Reddit, but it might not be a good idea to mirror Lemmy posts/comments either because Reddit might crack down on it. Hoping for screencaps though.

If you wanted to see comments from Reddit, you could go to Reddit directly or use a privacy front-end like Redlib. (If you are gonna use that, I'd recommend the LibRedirect add-on!)

Thank you for this! I've been wanting to contribute to the movement, but Reddit won't let me post with a VPN. :<

Could you put the announcement post back up at Reddit? I don't think many people noticed it, I'd like the Lemmy instance linked in the fiftyfifty.one website too.
