Many people are breathing a sigh of relief as Joe Biden's electoral college total nears 270. That number

Wednesday night 11/4 Chicago

could be reached today. This is much more than a contested election, however. It is one step in a battle over the future of this country, and this world. We cannot lose sight of the fact that this fascist regime that refuses to commit to a peaceful transition of power. Quite the contrary.

Trump supporters, many openly brandishing weapons,  have menaced people counting votes in Michigan and Arizona. The Justice Dept. has told Federal prosecutors that the law allows them to send "armed federal officers to ballot-counting locations around the country to investigate potential voter fraud." ( NY Times ) Trump's lawyers have already filed lawsuits in multiple states. Those lawsuits are headed to the Supreme Court now stacked with a 6 to 3 majority of Christian fascist "justices." Three of them were on George Bush's team in 2000 that won the Supreme Court decision overturning the popular vote to give Bush the White House.

Now is the time to mobilize our forces, the "coalition of decent people," who refuse to rely on institutions and processes being torn apart in front of our eyes. Now is the time to deny this regime any shred of legitimacy by rejecting their lies. Some "progressive" organizations cancelled protests yesterday, just when we need to be flooding the streets. Coco Das of the Refuse Fascism Editorial Board, wrote in  a new article , "A coalition of “progressive” organizations said they’ll protest when Trump moves to steal the elections. Well he’s moving to steal the elections, but these same organizations are abandoning protests to “not play into Trump’s narrative.” Letting HIM set the terms.

These progressive organizations are in an abusive relationship with a fascist regime and the “advice” from the Democratic Party leadership is like the mother-in-law saying to a battered wife, “Just try not to make him angry.”

This is dangerous and BULLSHIT of the highest order. This is not how you stop fascism. We have to act with the same bold audacity on behalf of humanity as the fascist side acts on the side of hatred. Non-violent mass protest is off the table?

No! In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America! Be part of the coalition of the decent in the streets! We demand  #TrumpPenceOutNow !"

If you want to see every vote count in the real world, if you want to see a fascist regime actually exiting power, NOW is the time to exercise our non-violent and determined people's power. Join us today at 5 pm at Federal Plaza and make plans to join us tomorrow, same time and place!

PROTESTS CONTINUE!
