Let me correct this. *It’s time for OUR GOVERNMENT to stand up and say “we want our government back”*. What do they expect us working class citizens to do? The people in power are supposed to be protecting us and they are doing NOTHING
Government can just "oops" your money into his accounts at the proper tax times, and your bank won't bat an eye about it until you find out you've been robbed and raise hell.
Imagine trying to prove the IRS robbed you in this regime...
That's what we voiced on the steps of our State Capitol today. All 50 States, 50 Capitols, noon local time.
Didn't make a change right away, but our voice was heard. We won't take this lying down. Citizens can only do so much. Can we depend on our Democrat legislators to take quantifiable action?
You're not seeing the big picture.
Musk now has the power to stop ALL Treasury payments. Like a sniper killing random people just because he can, Musk will do this just for fun and to crush dissent. Criticize him or Trump and he'll stop your salary, your pension, your SSI or disability.
@georgetakei.bsky.social call for massive nationwide general strike, bring down these fascists!!! Call for massive march in Washington, 3 million march, lets have 3 million people show up across the nation, and demand accountability, due process and rule of law!!!
Americans won't do shit, they will just suck it up and keep saying "in 4 years we can fix this" without the slightest hint of irony. You have the Dems putting out rules for the lawless while being woefully unable to adapt to the fact that their entire country has evaporated below them
I'll keep saying this: Elon Musk needs to be found, taken into custody, put into a detention center and then deported. Get him the H#LL out of our country, out of the Treasury Dept., out of the Education Dept. and OUT OF OUR LIVES. #DeportHisF*ckingAss
You can send him wherever, that doesn't change the fact that they have changed the coding inside the computer system to do some shady shit. Probably steal and send him money directly by some hidden backdoor route. The entire system has been compromised. All our private banking and tax information.
Unfortunately, Elon Musk claims to have U.S. citizenship. If that's true, then he can only be deported if he clearly and intentionally renounces that citizenship. Deportation in the U.S. is not considered punishment for a crime, only a method of enforcing immigration law.
He is committing a crime against our country. If #FatAssFrumpBoy & the Border Czar are rounding up people for whatever crimes they are claiming they've done then the same can happen to a South African racist who is not an elected official & has NO right to be inside our government.
Then he should be in jail. And maybe some of his assets seized as proceeds of a criminal conspiracy. Fine with me. But they're never going to deport him if he's a U.S. citizen.
He can't be deported, he's a US citizen. Do I want him to be deported? Absolutely. And frankly the way the government is going now if they did it illegally it would be fine with me.
George it will take a civil war to rid the country of Musk, the Pumpkin Furher and their Nazi movement.
The only thing Nazis understand is violence and until we beat them into the ground until only bloody paste remains of them, we will have them at our throats.
Even if the Reichpublicans suddenly found their already questionable morals and actually wanted to reclaim their party, they couldn't get their "Johnson" up to perform, because he's the quintessential sycophant, who would never oppose Felonious Flunk, no matter what the others say.
Call or email your representatives, and demand they IMPEACH the orange one. Demand they empower Capitol police or DC Metro Police or anyone to arrest Musk & Co, since the FBI can't or won't do it. Demand action.
That moment appears to now be long gone.
Our only rebellion choice now seems to be Civil War or lose all our heros to Voldemort’s death-eaters.
Or….. the blue states join/annex with Canada, if they’d have us.
Otherwise, our American Dream is gasping for breath and all we can do is watch.
It's too late. The damage has been done. The looting is over. Once we rid ourselves of the MAGA virus we will have to rebuild our institutions and their infrastructure from scratch.
100%. So what are our elected officials doing? Grandstanding and posting on social media doesn’t help us. Challenge them in court, push legislation. This is ridiculous.
I am deeply, deeply soothed every time I see someone other than myself saying this exact thing. It takes so much pressure off me to post variations of it 24/7!
too many are still listening to the failed democratic leadership what let this happen. pelosi ankling aoc and schiff taking out porter bode very poorly for our ability to save things
Folks, remember, the Nazis were successful because they had the help of collaborators. We now have them here too. Maggots who are JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS. The question is not CAN IT HAPPEN HERE? IT IS HAPPENING HERE! TODAY!! Government employees and officials, are you going to be a GOOD NAZI?
He's using Federal databases to mine and build a massive dataset to train AI. If he accesses health info then that's a huge HIPAA and HITEC violation punishable be massive fines and prison. I didn't sign a waiver for this ugh...
The fact that Elons team of children who went through zero background checks has stolen the most sensitive data in the world and we’re not marching on the White House armed to the teeth is enough to realize it’s already over.
yes yes we agree
How do we do that?
Do we have an army?
Republican Senators need to step up and they are not.
The coup happened Friday night.
There won’t be more elections.
An unelected billionaire’s 6 juvenile hackers now have access to my personal data. Data previously collected by my government. They have access to my data & the payment system that pays me Social Security. The payment system that pays for my Medicare and issues refunds for overpaid taxes.
There is a protest tomorrow in every state, at every capital. A lot of us are also withholding taxes (print the docs and set the money aside) because the representatives aren't representing anymore.
While I agree with Murphy, I'm not clear about what exactly it is he wants us to do. What does "stand up" mean in this context? Letters to our elected officials don't work especially if they're Republicans. Ranting on social media is just preaching to the choir. What does he want us to do?
I also believe we as Democrats needs a healthy dose of realism. They are the minority. However, it is also true that, when Democrats are in control, they acquiesce far too easily to Republican minority demands. That's why we always think Republicans are better at being the minority.
Acquiesce or compromise? We need more than pontification. We need new,effective leadership that will educate and motivate voters to have their voices heard. Trumps strategy is to confuse us with a bombardment of EOs that stifle is from doing anything. What are the Dems doing to counter?
One fundamental characteristic of Democrats is the desire to find common ground or compromise. When they are the majority, I believe their natural instincts for compromise work against them. Republicans largely do not compromise.
Talk is cheap, right? We have the 50/50 protests tomorrow but they probably wont be heard unless they get hairy. Problem is, anything the left does only galvanizes the right thanks to a decades long indoctrination campaign that nobody really tried to speak out against or stop because "1A" rights
I think we should put a finer point on the Congress part: Republicans who control Congress surely won't. I think it's important to underscore that Democrats are NOT in control of Congress. Elections have consequences.
Indeed, elections have consequences. To be honest, from a european standpoint, it is hard to understand, how a convicted criminal, who was found guilty of trying to overthrow the constitution can even be on the ballot.
And the question is, will the damage he causes to democracy be repairable?
I love the sentiment but can ANY single #American tell me how you can stop it all ???Please please someone tell me how you guys can save your country? I would love a thoughtful answer 😔🙏
Up until now we at least seemed to have some sort of appropriate checks and balances against BS in place... Now they are all gone...
And in the end it wasn't a threat of terrorism, carpet bombing, or nuclear war... it was plain human greed that did the civilization in and taken us all with it...
Proud that some of the Democrats in the government are doing their best to stand up to the occasion.
I'm hoping one of them succeeds in their actions to stop, or slow, or weaken Trump.
I am hoping for the best, yet fear for the worst.
BINGO! They are digging for $ to continue the billionaire tax breaks that are expiring...cost of 4M...plan to scrub Medicaid of 2M, taxes on poor/middle class to go up if make under $350,000, defunding programs for rest....WAKE UP!
What other info is open to him?
What can he sell to non friendlies and domestic terrorists?
Who is in danger of their entire identity being sold on the dark web?
Now! Now! Now! What the hell is going on that our elected officials are cowering to Dictator Trump. They are destroying our country and alienating our allies. Stop them now!!
Probably because the traitor just signed an executive order for the US Sovereign Wealth Fund, which i can only imagine means stealing our money for some scheme for the oligarchs.
We had that chance last November but people were too worried about grocery prices and gas not to mention Palestine and now we see that none of that will happen in fact it is going to be worse than it would have been.
It's the problem where you are playing by a set of rules that are well understood, and then all of a sudden you are playing an opponent who couldn't give a shit about rules.
Let's analyze the 2nd Amendment and why we have it.
This. This is why. To fight against tyranny.
Why is nobody doing shit? Where are the militias to fight this crap? Why is Elon allowed free reign over our country? He's a foreign entity seizing power. We cant abide this constitutional rape.
The difference between “us” and “them” is that we say, “We have so much, of course we’ll share.” They don’t do that and justify it by…by…no idea. I don’t know how they can justify it.
Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . Can you fill @blumenthal.senate.gov in on the plan to oppose, resist ,& obstruct? He doesn't seem to be listening to his constituents. Maybe some peer pressure? Appreciate you!
I thought this is why we had Congress? The military? The courts?
And if Elon isn't beholden to any of them, what the fuck are we individuals supposed to make happen?!?! Stop letting our electeds off the hook-- THIS IS THEIR JOB
Pete Buttigieg and Chris Murphy are the top 2 for me to run for POTUS in 2028 (the one that doesn't POTUS primaries should be appointed Secretary of State).
Our Founders were right, there will be a time when political parties replace moral integrity, the elected become wolves, parties will seek more power and political revenge, will seek security in the absolute power of an individual. GOP Senate GOP House have proven them correct.
So sure, we can say “no” on social media, we can post meme’s and we can call our Senators and House Reps but I think the Senator’s and our Reps must come home and hold Town Hall meetings to tell us face to face what they are doing to stop this madness.
But "Americans" have no power. We need our elected officials and judges to act. More than anything Congress is the key. They're the only ones who can impeach the president, the corrupt SCOTUS, and begin healing from this nightmare.
Exactly! Everyone is just talking and doing nothing about it! Why the f*** isn't Elon in jail for criminal tresspassing and theft of confidential documents!? I think that we, the people, should march on DOGE and drag them out into the street! Why not!? No one else is standing up for us!
Okay, what's the mechanism for getting it back that hasn't been stripped of all authority already? I agree with the sentiment but not hearing even a plausible plan for making it happen. IMHO collective action by the blue states is the only hope we have and they're not even working on it.
Has anyone asked Trump if he is ok with Musk having his tax returns and private information? Has anyone asked a Republican if they are ok with Musk having their private information?
Posting about things like this on Facebook will get your account deleted. They've deleted two of my accounts in the past two months because I offended some Right-wingers. I must have done something right.
You are so right! But, how many letters can I write? In actuality it seems that our representatives both in the Senate and the house are either unwilling or unable at this time to take action… Neither of those options boat well for us, the regular people.
BEFORE WE GO TO WAR, OR WE ARE TARGETED AND KILLED FOR TRUMP'S STUPIDITY AND UNFEELING GESTURE TO MAKE MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE OF THE GAZA STRIP, CONGRESS NEEDS TO INVOKE THE 25TH AMENDMENT NOW!
It’s not just the tax information. If you had a tax refund or Social Security checks direct deposited they have your bank account access. But they would NEVER snoop or sell it.
Yes it is! Send emails to every member of the house and senate you can think of. Blast them with phone calls. Let THEM know THEY work for us not the felon and his Elon.
You need in person action as well. Sit ins. Stop work at the Musk companies. Stop buying anything from their companies. Including Zuckerberg and Besos. Cancel starlink, cause he is stealing your data.
And the Senate *must* vote for new leadership. Replace Chuck Schumer with Liz Warren and Dick Durbin with Chris Murphy. Schumer and Durbin are milquetoast corporate appeasers who do not have what it takes for this moment.
I mean, heaven forbid someone just kick the nerds ass when they say “give me your laptop”🙄
Hell, send me. I’ll tell them to fuck off for you.
It’s not hard.

Dude, if he has your banking info?

1) a trebuchet
2) a baby grand piano
3) Elon’s current location
If name=oligarch
Then taxes=0
Else go to subsidize_the_rich.bat
The coup had happened
where tf is she anyway. totally normal for there to just be a president surrounded by a bunch of bros surrounded by even smaller bros.
That's You.
We elected you.
Go!
The only thing Nazis understand is violence and until we beat them into the ground until only bloody paste remains of them, we will have them at our throats.
#Brrrro
This is amateur hour.
I did visit my house rep’s office yesterday, but no dive with my senators
😡
Sektenführer (sect leader) Felon & Sektenverleiter (sect seducer) Elon!

There's nothing we out here can do but shout in the street about it.
Those mutherfuckers who were elected and get paid to do this need to stop this shit. Now.
??
He circumvented every check and every balance…
It’s an act of civil war
How do we do that?
Do we have an army?
Republican Senators need to step up and they are not.

There won’t be more elections.
These guys are ineffectual cowards in our darkest hours.
We're fucked.
Honest question: Is there still a chance to stop the orange fascist and his billionaire accomplice?
I mean, they are ignoring court orders, who should stop them? Congress surely won't, and in the end, Supreme Court will give them the green light.
Is there still hope?
And the question is, will the damage he causes to democracy be repairable?
And in the end it wasn't a threat of terrorism, carpet bombing, or nuclear war... it was plain human greed that did the civilization in and taken us all with it...
I'm hoping one of them succeeds in their actions to stop, or slow, or weaken Trump.

Elon has already paid for the US and US voters agreed to his price; it's his property now and he can do what he likes with it.
What can he sell to non friendlies and domestic terrorists?
Who is in danger of their entire identity being sold on the dark web?
GOP are just flunkies.

Get rid of citizens united. Put it on the table, let republicans vote against it.
The whole country knows it is the root of all the political corruption in this country.
-End of Jan talk
Hell, send me. I’ll tell them to fuck off for you.
It’s not hard.
How about the people we elected to stop these things from happening….stop these things from happening.
