Here’s why I interrupted fired FBI director James Comey at his only public book event in NYC.
It is a sign of how extreme and dangerous the Trump/Pence fascist regime is, that someone like James Comey is in his own way sounding an alarm. Indeed, the Trump/Pence Regime is a fascist regime and it is rapidly tearing up norms, the rule of law, separation of powers… and terrorizing and setting in motion a genocidal program towards immigrants, Muslims and others.
For Trump, knocking down ruling class opponents like Comey, Mueller, Hillary and others is a necessary step in consolidating fascism — and a prelude to even greater crimes against the people throughout this country and the world.
However, and this is extremely important, Comey will NOT save us from a fascist America. He is insisting that people wait for the elections — but elections will not stop fascism. Besides, waiting til November is gambling with the lives of millions of people. How many more immigrant families will be shattered? Will Trump and his team of war-criminals and torturers launch a new war — potentially a nuclear war?
We cannot wait and we cannot rely on false hopes. I interrupted Comey because too many people are deluding themselves into thinking he — or someone else in the structures of power — will solve the problem of fascism for us. They won’t.
ONLY an unprecedented mass movement of sustained and growing nonviolent protests from below can stop a fascist America. This is what RefuseFascism.org is dedicated to organizing and preparing for — launching with many thousands in several cities across the country and coming back day after day, growing to millions, refusing to stop until the demand is met: THIS NIGHTMARE MUST END: THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME MUST GO!
I urge you to join with RefuseFascism.org by signing its new Call to Action.
I also urge you to dig deeper into what have given rise to this extreme historic danger we now confront in the Trump/Pence Regime by taking an hour to watch this powerful and scientific talk from Bob Avakian: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go! In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America — A Better World IS Possible.

Thread on why I disrupted @Comey’s only public book event.
[1] It is not normal for the commander-in-chief to threaten to imprison his fired FBI head (Comey) or his political opponent (Hillary). These are the moves — along with much more — of a fascist Trump/Pence Regime.
|
|
[2] The Trump/Pence Regime is a FASCIST REGIME. It poses a catastrophic danger to humanity.
But, Comey is NOT going to save us — he tells us to wait for the elections. But the elections won’t stop a fascist America.

[3] Only an unprecedented struggle from below can stop a fascist America — 1000’s taking the streets in cities nationwide, staying day after day in nonviolent political protests, growing to involve millions who don’t stop until our demand is met: THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME MUST GO!

[4] This is what RefuseFascism.org is preparing for. EVERYONE who refuses to accept a fascist America is invited & urged to come together now with this movement before it is too late.
IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, ONLY THE PEOPLE CAN STOP A FASCIST AMERICA!
