The Ides Of Trump

bluelunaphotography:

On March 15th, each of us will mail Donald Trump a postcard that publicly expresses our opposition to him. And we, in vast numbers, from all corners of the world, will overwhelm the man with his unpopularity and failure. 

We will show the media and the politicians what standing with him — and against us — means. And most importantly, we will bury the White House post office in pink slips, all informing Donnie that he’s fired.

 Each of us — every protester from every march, each congress calling citizen, every boycotter, volunteer, donor, and petition signer — if each of us writes even a single postcard and we put them all in the mail on the same day, March 15th, well: you do the math.

 No alternative fact or Russian translation will explain away our record-breaking, officially-verifiable, warehouse-filling flood of fury. Hank Aaron currently holds the record for fan mail, having received 900,000 pieces in a year. We’re setting a new record: over a million pieces in a day, with not a single nice thing to say.

 So sharpen your wit, unsheathe your writing implements, and see if your sincerest ill-wishes can pierce Donald’s thin skin.

 Prepare for March 15th, 2017, a day hereafter to be known as #TheIdesOfTrump

 Write one postcard. Write a dozen! Take a picture and post it on social media tagged with #TheIdesOfTrump ! Spread the word! Everyone on Earth should let him know how he’s doing. 

They can’t build a wall high enough to stop the mail. 

Then, on March 15th, mail your messages to:

 President (for now) Donald J. Trump The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500

 Not my original post but someone else’s great idea! Copy and repost.

* write- I did not get paid to do this -on your post card.

Be the Change: Six Disabled Activists On Why the Resistance Must Be Accessible

autostraddle.com
A roundtable with disabled advocates, leaders, and protesters on how they came to activism, building an inclusive movement, and resources you should know about. February 13, 2017

wocinsolidarity:

Hello, allied resistance forces! Carrie here, and I’m in the Be the Change driver’s seat this week to talk about a crucial point in all protests and campaigns: accessibility.

I know it’s a dry word that you might not think applies to you. But guess what: you’d be wrong! Because you know someone with access needs whether you realize it or not. And even if you’re able-bodied, you’re gonna want to know this stuff for your own use eventually (whether thanks to a sprained ankle, an acquired disability, or good old-fashioned aging). In order to successfully throw sand in the gears, we need as many people out there throwing it as possible — and that means a movement that includes all kinds of bodies and minds.

I’ll be honest: my protest experience so far has been a mixed bag there. Using a wheelchair during the Women’s March made it marginally easier to battle the crowds (as did having a girlfriend from Brooklyn who knows how to unleash an “OUT OF THE WAY, SIR!” like I’ve never heard). I’ve seen my fair share of disabled folks waving signs in the street. But for every one of us, there are ten fellow protesters who bump into our chairs without regard or who still think the worst thing about Trump’s disability politics is that he was mean once. For every one of us, there are countless more who aren’t there because the organizers overlooked them. But the good news is that for every one of us, there’s another disabled activist leading the charge toward a more inclusive movement.

Here are six of those activists, leaders, and advocates on how we can all move forward, whether on our feet, on wheels, or online — plus a resource list you need to read and use.

Queer people came out in force on Saturday in front of Stonewall Inn to protest members of the Trump administration like Betsy Devos and Mike Pence

Despite Republican arguments that Trump is in favor of gay rights, Trump has expressed support for the First Amendment Defense Act, which lets businesses decline to serve people for religious reasons. The rally also drew attention to Trump’s cabinet as some of “the most anti-LGBT nominees and appointees in modern history.“

The rally in front of Stonewall Inn on Saturday was the perfect response to everything Donald Trump stands for

On Wednesday, The Nation leaked a draft order titled “Establishing a Government-Wide Initiative to Respect Religious Freedom” that could allow any organization to discriminate against the queer people on religious grounds. But one thing that was really great about the rally is that it welcomed ALL forms of intersectional identity, advocating especially for the rights of queer Muslims and queer immigrants.
