Resistance Marching Orders from Malcolm Nance. (Please read and resist-easy to do this).

[Dem4life1970]

1. Funny!

Resisting with humor, mockery, absurdity never felt so good.

[Efilroft Sul]

2. I love Malcolm, but point #1 will put us at a disadvantage.

We need to be aware of what wickedness comes our way in the hours and days immediately after the inauguration.

[ShazzieB]

29. I agree.

I have every intention of ignoring the iinauguration with all my might, but blocking all news for the rest of the week? No, just no. I don't watch or read nearly as much news I used to, but I don't see any point in cutting myself off completely from what's going on in the world.

[Think. Again.]

35. Nonsense.

If anything important happens, we'll find out.

[Magoo48]

38. I'm sure he meant MSM news. That's no problem.

[Mike 03]

39. Exactly. There are alternatives. The BBC World Service, and for anyone

with SiriusXM satellite radio there's the Progress channel. There's UK news free and live on YouTube, along with news from Germany, France, etc... There's Al Jazeera, which is fantastic.
There's free streaming Free Speech TV. You can watch breaking news headlines on Google News 24/7 (or some alternative, if you are ruling out use of Google). I think what he's saying is we don't give our eyes or ears to the major networks or social media platforms like X and Facebook. Don't know his opinion of Bluesky.

I might glue myself to satellite radio that day and keep the internet off.

There are so many possibilities!

[Efilroft Sul]

40. I fully intend to find out as soon as I can.

[sunnybrook]

3. Its the MLK Holiday

That is what matters

[usonian]

4. Jan 20. is Dr. Martin Luther King Day in 2025.

I will honor Dr. King less the kazoo marching band.



And so should everyone.

Short and lovely thread.

🕊️Hope versus hate. ☮️

[LeftInTX]

30. Me too! Participating in the local march.

[c-rational]

5. I may just buy a kazoo.

[ReRe]

11. Hey, if you can carry a tune

you can play a kazoo. Handy little instrument to have around.

[WestMichRad]

27. And if you can't carry a tune...

… a kazoo is the perfect instrument for you!

[sop]

31. Vuvuzelas (those annoying horns that made the World Cup unwatchable) would also drive Trump to distraction.

[avebury]

6. I will watch some movies that day starting with Selma

and On the Basis of Sex (Ruth Bader Ginsberg movie), and whatever other movies that I can come up with..

[ReRe]

12. Perhaps a documentary on

Thurgood Marshall.

[perdita9]

7. On Jan. 20th my wallet will close for 72 hours

Most of the American economy is based on consumer spending. You want Republican attention -- threaten that

[Linda ladeewolf]

22. Closing your wallet

For two or three days would probably be more effective than anything else. They do love money above all things.

[Think. Again.]

36. STARTING Jan. 20, my wallet closes for everything except essentials for the entire nazi administration.

I will not participate in a "healthy" plutocracy.

[ALBliberal]

8. Is Elon holding the Bible? Surely not...

Then again….

[Tanuki]

15. I wonder if he'll be sworn in on an "official Trump bible"?

[jls4561]

21. If so, it will prominently display the price tag and a link to the site at which to get it.

Also, it will be upside down.

[allegorical oracle]

37. If there is a God, it would be struck by lightning. nt

[FB47243]

9. Inauguration Tickets

Contact your local congressional office and get on the list for tickets. Many will hold a lottery for the allotment distribution.

[Blappy]

10. Aye, Aye Sir! (:salute)

The resistance must be felt and heard from Day 1.

[turbinetree]

13. Done count me in................

[calimary]

14. Sounds like a good time for a walk around the neighborhood, weather permitting.

OR:
- Good time to catch up on laundry!
- Maybe this is the time to clean out your closet or sock drawer.
- National Geographic might have some interesting programming if you wanna watch something.
- Might be a good time to go see one of the new movies. Take a friend!
- If the theater is in a shopping mall, the mall itself can be an excellent distraction - for extended walking or, yeah, shopping!
- Valentine’s Day will be right around the corner. Send some love to a Dem you love!
- Is there a Democratic club office or party headquarters in your area? THAT’S a great place to find kindred spirits!
- Is there an Indivisible group in your area? Might be a good place to check out! Some people might already be getting fired up for Election 2026. And I‘ll bet they’d welcome some help!
- Know of any exercise classes going on at your local Y or some other convenient place? If the donald leaves you burning mad, burn some calories!

[oasis]

16. Kazoo to the max!

[Tanuki]

17. Live streaming that day from the King Center....

Link to tweet

[Hotler]

18. Kicking nt

[TBF]

19. I left Twitter after Eloon bought it -

why are y'all still on there?!? Come to bluesky.

[ShazzieB]

32. Do you know how to inactivate a twitter account?

I'm on bluesky now, but I want to delete my Xitter account also. Only when I tried, it was so ridiculously complicated that I had to give up. It kept asking for more and more information that had nothing to do with my account on that site, and I refuse to share information about myself that Xitter doesn't need to know.

INAUGURATION COUNTER-PROGRAMMING!
Here are 3 Resistance Acts we all can do on Jan 20. Use what I call FAFO, “Focused Action with Focused Objectives.”

1) BLACK OUT THE INAUGERATION FOR 100 HOURS.
-Do not watch, read or engage w/TV, Radio, Social Media or Cable fm 8am 20 Jan until weekend.

2) MASS DELETE TWITTER AT EXACTLY 12 noon on 20 Jan as Elonia holds VP Trump’s Bible. Send Pres Elon a message. If 10-20 million subscribers blink out simultaneously. He will have a sad.

Power resisters: keep accounts so they’re not hijacked but do not engage the anger algorithm. Just stop using.

3) GET AN INAUGURATION TICKET AND DO NOT SHOW.

4) NATIONAL IMPERIAL MARCH BY KAZOO DAY. If SEVERAL thousand Kazooers mass the parade route and play the Imperial March … badly, Trump will be so upset he will outlaw Kazoos.

THESE ARE TIPS THAT ONLY WORK IF WE DO THEM EN MASS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY.
As for the Kazoo. Do it anywhere you are in the country. Make a video and post it to blue sky.

[Eva Jo]

23. Inauguration? What inauguration?

I thought we were having a coronation.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

24. how do you completely delete X?

I've signed out and deleted the app. But I'm sure my account exists.

[Nittersing]

26. Some recommend not deleting so your user name isn't snagged. nt

[ShazzieB]

33. Interesting.

I don't know what anyone would want with my user name. I haven't been very active and have very few followers. But I know that would be a huge problem for some.

[Betty Boom]

25. Is this really Malcolm Nance's account?

It’s filled with so many misspellings and awkward phrasing. It just doesn’t feel to me like it really is his voice. The poster even misspelled part of the handle. “Resister”

[Blue_Tires]

28. I was already doing #1 and #2

[Mossfern]

34. I'm going to ignore the inauguration

by ignoring the inauguration and NOT do anything purposely ignoring the inauguration because if I do that then I'm not ignoring it.

I don't know what I'll be doing - It's a Monday, so in the morning I have a neuro-feedback session and a DBR session after that. I'll get back home, eat something, go through emails and paperwork. Maybe take a nap or work on my painting.

Play with the cats, read a bit. Check in here to see what people are saying - like I USUALLY do.
BTW, it's great to be retired!

Figure out what to make for dinner and shop for items I don't have on hand. Make dinner - eat it. Have a chat with my husband (also done at short periods during the day) Turn on Project Runway for some mindless watching. Get ready for bed, read some more..... In other words, nothing special.

It's a month away so the list may vary by then.
