When do we come together and get him the fuck out? I’m talking pitchforks and shit. He has to go.

You can begin digging for financial data on all your congressional reps and putting financial pressure on them & donors in the form of boycotts, pressuring business partners, and financially frustrating them. You don't need to have their money in your hands to make it work for you. Love, Canada.

I’m tired of the word “weaponized “ that I want to scream. Everything is weaponized against everything else, everybody is weaponized against everybody else. Just like the Cold War of the 1960’s, we just don’t have to hide under our desks this time.

hey-nunya-business.bsky.social•27 days ago

Today, we're picking the fruits of the Cold War.

His feelings were hurt really bad when he wasn’t re-elected in 2020, followed up by multiple legal charges against him from years of assuming the law doesn’t apply to him, so now he’s out for revenge wherever he can get it.

He is a dangerous man.

arlondiluthel.bsky.social•27 days ago

Legal proceedings are *expensive*. He's using the power of the government's "infinite" money to drain the resources of companies he or his donors dislike.

Interesting, definitely a cold civil war, where it's interesting is the tarrifs on allies immediately after Putin doesn't get his way. Trump is so compromised

Mr. Takei, please take a look at this compelling report about 2024 election interference. She won, he cheated. https://thecommoncoalition.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/TheCommonCoalitionReport_5.14_NM.pdf

It's his way of slowing others down, get them tied up in legal wranglings so they're out of the picture when he pulls his asinine moves, he doesn't care about the legality, he just wants to be a tinpot dictator...

axiomatixx.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yeah it's all publicity; it's all "evidence" he's "sticking it to the man" when it's denied and thrown out with contempt, because then it's simply " see! Corrupt judges against us!" And it all goes in the big bin of messaging bs. Adds to volume, adds to messaging, adds to the perceived inertia.

jojjeb.bsky.social•27 days ago

You're toast if you not step up and start real resistance, taking to the streets, civil obediance, uproar and some sort of revolution, which might even involve armed conflict. Otherwise you're doomed to be subordinates, 'slaves', in the worst kleptocracy the world has ever seen.

It is time that when the next Democrat president will take office in WH, his first order is to purge all MAGA from every federal job.

Like transgenders an DEI workers right now, every MAGA member must fear and afraid to be purged from his role. No pity. Just purged from office.

Project 2025 warned U.S.

Fascism warned us

History warned us

Propaganda, the oligarchy and our media demanded we hand over our Republic to the domestic enemies.

whatevr11.bsky.social•27 days ago

Look closer at actions you can take

thoseschmitt.bsky.social•27 days ago

Because most of the charges & actions are illegal & eventually overturned in court, those targeted should not give in; rather see it as Trump handing the target a mic. It’s an opportunity for free PR - to provide clarifying information educating the world why he’s wrong. Opp for real USCon lessons.

I was looking in my daughter’s school bag yesterday, saw she choose as her book to read your graphic novel ‘They Called Us Enemy’ at school. She didn’t know about you when she chose the book, so I was telling her how you still use your voice to fight for democracy. It a great book!

artfulseas.bsky.social•27 days ago

I know it’s off topic and you might not see the message but it was really exciting to see this in her bag. To see that schools here in California are still exposing kids to all the parts of our history. I’m reading it together with her, so it’s even more interesting to be able to discuss it with her

The "statement" by Noem in the prison ...
... I think, that will also face the Trumpet-Administration soon:

"If you incompetent and corrupt pack don't leave, we'll hunt you down, arrest you and you will end in a prison ... nobody ever have hear about. No matter, what 'pardoning' someone 🟠🤡 write."

Partisan lawfare, suddenly no longer an outrage.

Despicable
Keep resisting trump
Resistance is hope

davidpolstra3.bsky.social•27 days ago

Cruelty and financial hardship-legal expenses can be formidable.

notrebecca.bsky.social•27 days ago

These attorneys were crappy attorneys before they were appointed and not surprisingly they are still crappy attorneys now that they are federal prosecutors.

Like Alina "Prone to Malpractice" Habba.

geekchap.bsky.social•27 days ago

The point is terror. Everyone is afraid they will be next, and so everyone falls in line.

landruc.bsky.social•27 days ago

I refuse to help spread terror and despair. ✊️

landruc.bsky.social•27 days ago

Of course it matters if he loses in court. People have been freed from and avoided prison because he lost in court. And we're fighting to free others because he lost in court.

Does resistance matter, or should we just give in to fascism?

8morebacon.bsky.social•27 days ago

Very true. But the big problem is that it costs the innocent victims money: spent for attorneys and work time missed from being in jail. And the time and freedom lost from being in jail & court.

greg-hill.bsky.social•27 days ago

is trump being blackmailed ?
