"The reality is that not every president—and not every shift toward or away from authoritarianism—reflects ruling class preferences. To succeed, a Trump coup attempt doesn’t require active support from the economic, political, or military establishment. Their passive acceptance, disunity, or indecision at a critical moment could be enough. At the same time, the limits on Trump’s support will constrain what he can do both before and after the election, limit his capacity to consolidate control, and leave him vulnerable to determined opposition even after a successful coup."

Every city needs a broad coalition ready for November 4th. Game plan for a sustained struggle. Contingency plans. As many orgs as possible. As many people as possible.

Friendly reminder than no one is coming to save us. Yes we need to work with existing orgs, but we also need to make shit happen ourselves. We must all lead, and we must all follow the lead of our friends as well in the form of action.

Also I saw this today- maybe it will help ppl understand the best use of telegram chats?

Remember, it doesn’t all need to be figured out this second, if that helps. Meet with trusted people and orgs you’re a part of. Start (or continue) planning. Bounce things off each other. Build a coalition

Yay, Shield zine is done!

If you're in SOS and BLM chats, you should know there are no leaders here. There might be people you trust or look up to, but don't wait for them. Start making plans. Start building coalitions. Start building mutual aid networks. Start reaching out to friends and groups and organizations. Don't wait for anyone else to do it for you.
