His strategy was not one of protesting in a way that followed the rules, located where the government or police say it is appropriate to demonstrate. It was not a submission to authority. Rather, he preached that willfully disobeying unjust laws through nonviolent means is the way to enact change.

Until we’re all free, none of us are free. His legacy of civil disobedience has been co-opted into the compliance of free speech zones and permitted protests. He knew that to achieve our goals, mass mobilization and the willingness to throw ourselves in the way of the oppressive state is needed.

5 years after the J6 attack on the Capitol, the threat to American democracy hasn't faded, it's grown more dangerous. Political violence has surged, trust in democratic institutions has plummeted to historic lows, and leading democracy experts now classify the U.S. as an "electoral autocracy."

Protesters disrupted Trump’s dinner in DC, chanting “Free DC! Free Palestine! Trump is the Hitler of our time!” This needs to be done nonstop. Keep making their lives hell. Make sure they know they’re despised. These white supremacist, Christian nationalist, pedophilic fascists must know no peace.
