  • From the article you linked in your edit:

    The 50501 moderators also partnered with Political Revolution, a PAC and volunteer-only activist organization founded out of the conclusion of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign in 2016.

    The 50501 movement and Political Revolution said in a joint press release they are calling for the removal or resignation of President Donald Trump, investigations into his administration appointees including Elon Musk, the repeal of “oppressive” executive orders and the restoration of diversity, equity and inclusion frameworks.

    They’ve been around since 2017. There’s surely a bunch more information about them than about 50501, and they’re “vouching” for 50501.


  • 50501 successfully organized the 50 state capitol protests the other day, and those got at least some news coverage. That was a good thing. If attending an event is unsuitable for you, there are other ways to resist. Me, I’m certainly already on more than one list, so being associated with a protest doesn’t change anything.

    By comparison, I did some looking into a group called “American Opposition,” and my feeling about that is that it’s one small potatoes movie and TV actor trying to pull some sort of hustle.

    In any event, I don’t believe you have to identify yourself to show up at a protest.







  • Some people are going to be able to go march. Some people are not. Not every action will be suitable for every person.

    If you’re a person who is not able to go march, there are still plenty of things you can do, even if it’s as small as making sure that you have space in your home for people who might need safety on short notice.

    Nothing any of us do today, or tomorrow, or next week is going to make any difference all by itself. Instant gratification is simply off the table. Our cumulative efforts, great and small, over time, can be successful eventually.
