I don't think people are questioning where the resistance is in terms of the voters/grassroots organizers we're all wondering where the resistance is in Congress when our leaders are not even showing up to vote on bills and shrugging saying what do you want us to do?
Idk what we’re resisting or fighting for at this point. There’s not an elected official or military general willing to explain why that Russian asset wasn’t handled as an attack on this country. You don’t combat an attack by a foreign enemy with US courts!
Where, indeed. Where are the marches, the protests, the picketing of Tesla dealerships? I'm writing like crazy to my 2 Republican senators & Republican representative, and calling them all the time. We need to join together in large, large groups and march on the White House or the Congress or both.
I’m attending an Indivisible meeting on March 9th in Montgomery County Pa. I’m attending an Elon Musk protest on March 22 in Warminster Pa. I’m looking for more ways to get involved each day.
"In an extraordinary letter to lawmakers on Thursday, the five men — including one who served under Mr. Trump during his first term — asked that the House and the Senate hold “immediate hearings to assess the national security implications of Mr. Trump’s dismissals.”
As we undoubtedly move into the neighboring rep or regional town hall model, for those who are in a sea of red w/no options, might I suggest: hire a local actor & w/prosthetics re-create the rep. Utilize AI and voice sampling to re-create the rep, ducking ? and spewing lies just like the original.
Did you know that you can actually call the United States White House at 202-456-1414 and someone will actually answer? They will quickly patch you over to the recorded comments line when you ask them what the hell the president thinks he’s doing, but it’s well worth blowing up their phone lines! 😁
Talk is cheap. Chamberlain talked the world into WWII, bragging about peace in our time. WE need action to stop Trump, not bitching about what we already know. You're looking to the law to save us and he routinely ignores the law. It's like condemning a man who doesn't care if you condemn him.
Trump v United States (US), 603 U.S. ___ (2024). “The case involves former President Donald Trump, who was indicted on four counts for conduct that occurred during his presidency following the November 2020 election. The indictment alleged that Trump conspired to overturn the
election by spreading knowingly false claims of election fraud. Trump moved to dismiss the indictment based on Presidential immunity, arguing that a President has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions performed within his official responsibilities. The District Court
denied Trump’s motion to dismiss, holding that former Presidents do not possess federal criminal immunity for any acts. The D.C. Circuit affirmed this decision. The Supreme Court of the United States held that under the constitutional structure of separated powers,
a former President is entitled to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. He is also entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts.
However, there is no immunity for unofficial acts”.
Bundy v Stommel, 168 F. App’x 870, 2006. “…The district court dismissed Mr. Bundy’s complaint as legally frivolous under 28 U.S.C. 1915A, and we reverse…But given Mr. Bundy’s constitutionally protected liberty interest
(unwanted administration of psychotropic medication)…we cannot treat such an argument as frivolous.”
Trump is assuming that this decision by the SCOTUS is a blanket immunity of all official acts. It seems to me that the best way to challenge this immunity claim is to force
Keep fighting.

I keep having thoughts of gamers organizing in virtual spaces (like Minecraft or Roblox) to discuss issues of the day and how they are being affected. Listening to each other in turn in a virtual town hall? Anyone else feel like building an expandable congress?
If they think that the people
that are coming To the town halls are being paid by DemocratThen maybe they should pay some of the Republican constituents To show up and See what they think about what is going on now with this government Mess that you guys have going on I think it's the same.
Opinion
Great point. Of course, the oh-so-religious Johnson was lying when he said that it's only paid Dems at townhalls - showing his dishonesty, his utter disrespect for voting constituents no matter what party, and his projection that if Repubs use underhanded techniques then everyone else must be, too.
This will most likely happen and they will most likely be a terrorist mob of mercenaries like the proud boy cult. The bomb threats won’t work for them anymore and they will try to intimidate us with violence. BE READY!
Exactly, and we are ready.
Because if we don't Fight we Won't have a country left We all have to learn that we have to work together to stop the millionaires and billionaires from doing whatever they want to do without supporting the Majority of Americans.
Thank you! My group is listed — just unsure how we’d handle something like this. Apparently at one point it was 700 people — you couldn’t fit them inn the room and that was just MEMBERS. We need to get more and more people to comeback and hold something like this.
A march in DC does things that local protest can not.
1) show the world we care
2) show federal workers we care
3) boost morale for the movement
4) get media attention like local protest can not. To support #1-3
The Lincoln Project suggested Dems should be holding town halls in Rep districts where they are avoiding holding them for fear of protests. This seems like a great idea. Listening will get you a long way. #listeningrules
I live in a blue city with unfortunately a red rep - he wouldn’t have a town hall so we are having one where we invited him and if he doesn’t show up - his chair will just sit empty. We got the news involved and everything.
That is actually what they are doing! And it’s an indivisible chapter. So everyone please join your local chapter or make one! They are really organizing change
HELP! WHAT ACTION CAN WE TAKE? 🇺🇦 Why did our parents and grands fight fascism in WWIi only to turn in their graves in newly fascist soil? I am sick of so many smart opinions (including my own🙄),now enough words. I SEEK PLANS, STRATEGIES, MASS ACTION! Where are our leaders? MASS, MASSIVE UNITED!
Midlothian, Virginia showed up at Rob Wittman’s mobile office on Otterdale and NO speaker Johnson were car pooled because of limited parking, made our own signs and weren’t paid!! Lying is a sin, “christian” mike!!!
@50501movement.bsky.social is hosting protests across the country, especially in Washington. One is schedule on Tuesday March 4. Find a local protest and join, or head to the us capital if you have the funds. I wish I could go to DC, unfortunately I can’t so I will be local & go to my state capital
Thanks, 50501 is doing great work and anything I’m saying is not meant to disparage that. However, I do think we need the optics of a grand event in D.C.
100% agree. I really really wish I could travel to get there for that very reason. I just wanted to get the word out to help encourage a bigger turn out, especially if a lot of other people don’t know these protests exist yet.
Go to your Indivisible page or the national one to see what protests have been scheduled and/or actions to take now. Most people can’t make it to DC but will rally or march in their respective cities. Do something now. 💙💪🏼🇺🇸
It wouldn't hurt for the dems to get grassroot- involved, organizing & leading bold, peaceful, ingenious/creative, non-stop, massive protests & marches & sitting-ins, etc.
ASAP, as you CAN'T wait till the trumPutian regime entrenches itself even further, USA!
Meanwhile, people are taking the reins.
Resist Tyranny. Prepare for the absolute worst. Protect yourselves. Organize and reach out to other groups. Stock up on food and water and vitamins and protection. Educate yourself or take training classes. Just stock up. Be bold. Survive. Be strong. We need to VANQUISH FASCISM NOW!!!

who are advertising in REPUBLICAN districts on the impacts of DOGE CUTS in those districts?
The NIH/NSF cuts for example? The impact on jobs alone. Factual, specific to the local impact. Target the GOP, alert the Republicans on the ground.
More questions ask.
What are they doing for us
