    If you think No Kings is the only resistance work happening right now in the U.S., you’re really not paying attention.

        Yes. And yes. Here’s one example of resistance work in the U.S. resulting in concrete wins: Avelo Airlines used to run deportation flights for ICE. They were on the receiving end of an escalating pressure campaign from resistance groups to end those flights. And guess what? They finally did.

            Feel free to join a resistance group working on that. There are many to choose from.

                    Each group is working on their own steps for this. And honestly that’s the strength of the resistance movement—it’s distributed, not top-down. Some groups will fail, but some will succeed. And “success” doesn’t mean that a group takes some action and instantly Trump is out of office and all of his cronies are behind bars. It means that a single win is achieved that gets us closer to that goal and puts ever-widening cracks in the regime’s pillars of support. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

        Nah it’ll just be like “The day the world said no to war” which is often held as a massive achievement in nonviolent protesting despite it accomplished fuck all.
