THREAD on why you should join us in the streets on July 4th
This nightmare must end!
TRUMP/PENCE OUT NOW!
In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America!
America is at a serious crossroads. A fierce struggle for the future is underway. 1/16
Trump is campaigning on openly celebrating and defending the Confederacy, with a clear message that he will unleash the violence of the police and military and his heavily armed MAGA shock troops against the movement for Black Lives. 2/16
He threatens to toss aside 1A to jail those who burn the flag, a constitutionally protected act of free speech. He has demeaned mayors of CHI & SEA threatens to send in federal forces “to clean up” their cities; He has doubled down on his anti-immigrant rants & program. 3/16
In the midst of skyrocketing #COVID19 deaths Trump/Pence petitioned SCOTUS to end Obamacare. Pence urged Americans to pray but didn't once urge them to wear masks.They have the blood of tens of thousands on their hands due to science-hating, genocidal dismissal of pandemic. 4/16
🖕🏽 is just in the past week. Stop & think if you can live with all this. The lives of countless more here and around the world are under threat. 5/16
Trump is not losing an election. He is setting the stage to declare any outcome other than his victory illegitimate, backed up by a GOP willing to rig elections and the violence of the “police, military, and bikers for Trump.” He is declaring his determination to prevail. 6/16
The people on the side of humanity must be equally determined to prevail. On July 4th and in the coming weeks, we must take to the streets in growing numbers to demand: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go NOW! 7/16
Should we fail to take to the streets & stay to win, do not for a second think that the fascist agenda of the Trump/Pence regime could not become the law of the land. But the last four weeks of sustained protest has also shown us that another future is possible. 8/16
If the demand that Trump and Pence must go NOW becomes a part of the great rising in the streets against police murder of Black people. Without going all the way to driving out the Trump/Pence regime, the movement for Black lives & every struggle for justice will be crushed. 9/16
Power concedes nothing without a demand. Demand #TrumpPenceOutNow on #July4 10/16
Genocide, slavery, Jim Crow, virulent white supremacy, wars of empire, misogyny & xenophobia. This is the history & these are the values of MAGA, hell-bent on exacting revenge against liberation movements & hard-won social progress of the last 50 yrs. 11/16
The upsurge of struggle for Black Lives matters a great deal. It must continue to broaden & deepen its determination to win, which includes acting on the recognition that an avowed white supremacist regime poses a mortal threat to Black people and must be driven from power. 12/16
Refuse Fascism, since our founding has recognized & struggled for the understanding that at the core of the fascist regime is white supremacy. Along w hatred of immigrants & women & trans/non-binary ppl these form a triad of the fascist program that must be opposed. 13/16
At this crossroads what will you do? Will you continue to accept a fascist USA?Will you listen to those who urge waiting for an election that may not come or use the normal channels that are being shredded by a regime that sees this as their last chance to consolidate power?14/16
Or will you seize on our power in the streets and raise the demand Trump/Pence Out Now? Dangerous regimes all over the world are driven out by the people in sustained, non-violent protest demanding the removal of the regime & refusing to go home until their demand is met. 15/16
To stop an American fascism that threatens the very future of humanity & the 🌏, the necessary demand is #TrumpPenceOutNow! This is a moment to seize. Let us change the course of history, not for ourselves alone but for all humanity. Join us July 4 http://bit.ly/RFJuly4
