Authoritarians have one tired playbook they follow. But when people come together in non-violent opposition to strategically target their #PillarsofSupport (industry, the military, bureaucracy, etc.) using 1) protests 2) non-cooperation & 3) alternative building—we win!

Ahem: autocrats rely on #PillarsofSupport i.e., a broad social base to maintain minority power. These pillars are made of actual individuals, so when enough of us are persuaded to “defect” by withdrawing our support from the authoritarian regime—NO dictator can keep falsely claiming legitimacy!
🚨 The Senate votes 52-48 to overturn President Trump's 50 percent tariffs on Brazil. 5 GOP Senators break ranks to vote against Trump: Collins ME, McConnell KY, Murkowski AK, Paul KY, and Tillis NC.

LA Ice protests spurred US military to identify ‘hotels to avoid’ due to ‘harassment’ | Los Angeles Ice protests
When Donald Trump’s administration escalated immigration raids in Los Angeles earlier this summer, protest organizers responded with actions staged in an unusual setting: the hotels where immigration officers were staying. Protests took place at several southern California hotels where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents had been spotted. Some activists launched “No sleep for Ice” …

#PillarsOfSupport is a concept everyone needs to be aware of & understand. I’ll add that the pillars apply to forces we want to apply pressure to & forces we want to strengthen in our society. This video does great job explaining the concept in <4 mins.

If nonviolence required tyrants to grow a heart, we'd be finished—violence is what they're begging for. History shows we beat them by withdrawing pillars of support until they're forced to concede.

Power doesn’t flow down.
It flows up. Every authoritarian regime stands on pillars—and those pillars are made of us. The legal system. Education. Business. Faith communities. Labor. You’re not powerless. Where will you say “no more”?

Even during a shutdown, TSA officers & air traffic controllers are showing up without pay to keep our airports running. While I delivered them donuts, I checked in with travelers to make sure they knew they were visiting a "war zone.”
It's clear Portland is not a military target. It's home.
