Former President Obama brings his calm and steady leadership style to us once again to remind us of our power:
“It is up to all of us to fix this. It's not going to be because somebody comes and saves you. The most important office in this democracy is the citizen—who says, no, that's not right.”

We all do need to fight. In big & small ways. Fight for the democracy we love.
Not a single American is willing to rise up and actually fight back.
Protests don't count when they're completely ineffective. Trump doesn't care.
Last time Molotov cocktails were flying he ran and hid like a bitch in a bunker.
I think we can tell what works here.
Us poors aren't allowed to have nice things. Like money. Or soon enough a roof over my head since this dipshit gutted the VA. When you're done with your sign give it to me. I'll need shelter from the rain.

In any other liberal democracy on the planet, the murder of a healthcare executive would be greeted with shock at the loss of a good soul.
Not so in America.
No other liberal democracy has young children who practice hiding under their desks lest some lunatic with a...
I've heard Europeans who've visited the backwoods in the USA, even parts of some of its cities, who've returned shocked at the poverty they've seen, unlike anything outside the developing world, in the richest country on the planet.
And the list goes...
So no, it was not complacency that led people to somehow let the glorious status quo slip through their fingers with a careless vote.
It was anger. It was disgust. It was despair with the status quo.
Complacency lurks in the denial of that fact and, right now, particularly from elder...
It is downright dangerous.
This week, the House votes on the “No Rogue Rulings Act” (NORRA). If it passes, courts won't be able to block Trump’s illegal actions. Unchecked power.
Down with the king. Stop Project 2025.

Had you let the nomination process play out on a level playing field in 2016 we wouldn’t be cleaning up Hillary’s mess now
Democrats are little more than private equity’s political hedge fund.
You built this
Now we have to fix it 🤬

He deserved nothing but respect, especially from those 'TeaPartyDems & fauxProgressives' within his own party.
Wake up. Those who sit in Senate and Congress could end this shitshow swiftly and effective by using their powers and having the means to arrest Trump and everyone else being aiding and supporting him.
Wake up. Demand that the Dems are taking action NOW.
But if a black man become prosperous, then...
I like the guy, voted for him twice. But he is a little milquetoast.

If we fix this, the fix must be a worker-first country and an economy supporting ALL!
If people would have gotten off their asses to vote we wouldn’t be here.
Then I realized that those people were either too ignorant to know what could happen if they didn't vote, or they just didn't care.
In either case, not exactly the people I want to depend on for my freedom.
The cavalry is NOT coming. It's up to us.
Can you imagine what this country would be like if 40% of the people gave a shit.
There are other important candidates and issues on any the ballot.
So far the trending slogan is 'anyone on any given day is to blame', but rarely spoken are those Who Held the POWER OF THEIR VOTE to SAVE our rare & precious Democracy, our Constitution & Bill of Rights.. or Let IT DIE.
We have the power, if we would only learn to use it wisely.
Bernie and Booker can come, too. No more words. Action.
What are you organizing, again?
doable & possible!
I am Canadian🇨🇦

He's not going to risk his status or wealth to protect democracy*

He's also superbly good at rolling up his sleeves and spearheading an energetic rally, loudly encouraging us to take action.
In my opinion, that's what we need right now.

They chose to ignore it & Let It Die.
Yes, it’s been easy to enjoy liberty without paying for it.
And now we’re called on to pay a price and sacrifice to protect our rights.
We have to put these words in a new context: Freedom is not free.
It was such a relief to hear you saying thouse easy still necessery words to make us all see how we under many years has taken our lifes for granted, expecting that someone else should fix it for us.
Now we want democrasy, so let us do democratic things, and help each other to achiewe it!
11 million is the magic number at which change happens.
The next protest, according to 50501, is April 19th. Come back out and bring 3 friends.
