Just Another Friendly Occupier | June 21, 2025 – Anti‑Ice Age edition

Get inspired, check back anytime for more—and take action. Below are bold, clear steps you can do in public spaces to disrupt fascist narratives—and spread solidarity.

📌 Action Ideas

  • Book giveaway table: Leftist literature only—The Conquest of Bread, Are Prisons Obsolete?, Assata. Label it the “Deprogramming Station.”
  • Chalk facts: Write “Abolish ICE,” “Capitalism is organized theft,” or “You deserve healthcare” on sidewalks.
  • Poster blitz: Print images of Mussolini in shame (“It ends how it begins”) and tape them near courthouses and banks.
  • Mutual‑aid station: At markets, hand out water, snacks, Narcan—sign “Capitalism starves. We share.”
  • Alter MAGA merch: Spray‑paint MAGA hats with “PROPERTY OF ICE” and leave them in public bins.
  • Book reading at GOP offices: Read Gender Queer, The 1619 Project, or Beloved out loud. Let them watch.
  • Corporate sticker takeover: Purchase American-flag stickers, label “PROPERTY OF THE PEOPLE” and tag corporations.
  • Queer‑ify statues: Adorn local statues with boas, wigs, trans flags; document, then vanish.
  • Leaflets at churches: Spread “Jesus was unhoused… anti‑empire,” with QR codes linking to anti‑fascist sermons.
  • Banner on freeway: “TRUMP LOST. FASCISM WON’T RISE AGAIN.” Let it sit, let the panic grow.
  • Public Constitution reading: Stand in plazas with megaphone, read Constitution loud. Challenge free‑speech hypocrisy.
  • Gas pump stickers: “YOUR FREEDOM COSTS BLOOD—Stop funding oil barons.”
  • City Hall horror‑stories: At council meetings, read ICE‑detention testimonies. Ask, “Are you triggered by truth?”
  • Fake prayer circle: Satirically pray for “protection from compassion” outside Chick‑fil‑A. Film reactions.
  • Neighborhood signs: “This street is patrolled by neighbors, not cops.” Watch authorities panic.
  • Bumper‑sticker drop: “I’D RATHER BE DEFUNDING” – hand them out at Costco.
  • Street theater finale: Dress as Wall Street ghoul handing out Monopoly money shouting “Get back to work!”
