This is not a political fight. It’s a moral one without regard to party, race, class or creed. To do nothing and continue to play Russian Roulette with our Constitutional Republic will only ensure the fatal bullet inevitably fires #ProtestTheGOP #PresidentialShutdown #MakeAMERICANSGreatAgain

#SpoilerAlert The difference between free and fair elections and the illusion of free and fair illusions is no farther than a simple sleight of hand

Donald Trump is not the cause of America’s ails. He is simply its most recognizable symptom. The dry cough of the national pandemic that is the Republican Party. Agents of the rich and putinful #ProtestTheGOP #PresidentialShutdown #MakeAMERICANSGreatAgain

Regardless of the outcome of Putin’s war in Ukraine, the days of America as the world’s sole superpower are officially behind us. Our global influence waned and reputation as the beacon of freedom extinguished

The everlasting moral of 21st century, oligarchs are oligarchs, racists are racists, religious fundamentalists are religious fundamentalists. When faced with a future extinction these factions of humanity used modern technologies to ally, remain relevant and protect their existing privilege

The fight ahead is not a political one. The enemy is not united by love of country or flag, but rather by boundless greed and a hankering to return to a romanticized past where no one dared to question their wealth, racial superiority or virtue.

Welcome to America 2025. What was a melting pot, is now a rolling boil We need to engage in bold and direct action. National strikes, boycotts, sit-ins, daily demonstrations and other disruptive but non-violent methods are required. We need to leave our comfort zones and make proactive sacrifice

Donald Trump is nothing more than a hairy arm. A flaw so obvious that as Bonnie Raitt says,it gives people something to talk about. A big heaping orange turd placed into the picture by forces more nefarious than he. Forces that control, manipulate, and parade the hairy arm as they see fit

History will hold the Guardians of Putin (GOP) to account. Those who remain in, those enabled by, and those who prop up the GOP are criminal enablers, coconspirators and accessories after the fact. Full on caviar and drunk on American whiskey. Traitors to freedom, the whole lot of them.

The GOP earned their moniker as the “Guardians Of Putin”. Zelensky learned why you never negotiate with terrorists or mobsters. Not since Thanos’ snap have we seen such a deadly and costly act of villainy as we did with Trump and Vance’s faux outrage

Et tu Trumpé? Betrayal is in the air. Historical alliances, recognized allies, negotiated treaties and holy vows of support no longer apply. A new world order is emerging. Yesterday’s blood brothers destined to become tomorrow’s foes.

Make AMERICANS great again #EconomicBoycott #TeslaBoycott #PresidentialShutdown #ProtestTheGOP

The objective of an oligarch is never the “collective good.” A win/win solution is a loss in the mind of the superego that needs to be the recognized winner

The enduring lesson of 21st century; oligarchs be oligarching. Regardless of race, religion, or nationality there exists a subset of human beings that value power, wealth and adoration above all else. Superegos that will go to any lengths to amass, consolidate, grow and preserve their privilege

“We, the people” have silently enabled carefully crafted gerrymandered districts and complicity watched as lobbyists, corporate shills, special interests and Super PACS hijacked our representative Republic. It is no surprise the majority of this country now finds the status quo unsustainable

Transparency is the enemy of the corrupt, the wicked, the power hungry, the treacherous, the tyrannical and other leaders of ill intent. Their power dependent on ability to control information, chill whistleblowers, and silence voices of dissent or suppression before they reach a critical mass

Be prepared; a new world order is emerging. The good news, America is a part of that new world. The bad news, it may not be an America you recognize or like

Trump’s GOP is not a political party united by common philosophy. Like a cult, they share a common end goal. A blend of dysfunctional causes that crave the rapture, money and guns and fear that the masses want to take that from them. Dependent on each other to protect their interests and privilege

‪Our so called President is the “national emergency.” We are rapidly accelerating towards the point of no return. We cannot sit back and wait for the Reichstag Fire before we react. ‬ ‪We need bold & direct action. National strikes, sit-ins, DAILY demonstrations #PresidentialShutdown

Trump is the ultimate con man. He is not on your side. He's never been on your side. He's not even a real Republican. Without regards to morality or values he simply follows whatever path he believes leads to the most power and money

The smoke is everywhere. Time opposition realizes our Republic’s survival demands bold, creative and unconventional action. Smash a window, pull the fire escape and scream, “Our President is the national emergency.” Put all legislative affairs on hold and place focus on a #PresidentialShutdown

Once this caravan of malfeasance controls the dissemination of information, they possess power of the Gods. The ability to create new worlds and rules of the universe. To define truth. To present alternative facts, only now without the alternatives. Lies then become truth, and perception reality

So many famous stories are built on premise of future danger. Stress a need for the protagonist to act proactively to avoid an impending catastrophe. To anticipate what the enemy will do next and take actions to prepare for, mitigate or prevent the intended outcome. It’s time to heed those lessons

Let’s agree right now to never report on Trump’s efforts to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine but instead call it what it really is. Trump’s formal surrender of Ukraine and de facto all of Europe to Putin #ProtestTheGOP #TheArtOfTheDeal

Trump’s next EO should formally replace the bald eagle with a deer in headlight as a symbol of America

The Guardians of Putin (GOP) assemble to consolidate balance of power and usher in a global oligarchy. The American Taliban rises to reward the virtuous with promises of eternal rewards. The Proud Boys whoop it up as the status quo and their privileged place within it is secured

To paraphrase the late Steven Tyler, there’s something wrong with the world today and I know what it is. Science, reason & logic have been replaced by faith, bigotry & fear #ProtestTheGOP

GOP is not a political party. They stand for nothing but guns, God and gold. A consolidation of racist status quo dependent deplorables & self avowed God before country raptureheads. A coalition of criminals, coconspirators, accessories after the fact and corrupt enablers The American Taliban rises

There is an unashamed ugliness that is now accepted as normal. A toxic swirl of perpetual victimhood and thirst for unadulterated vengeance that trickles down to actual victims. The Guardians of Putin (GOP) assemble to lead new world order. The American Taliban rises to reward the virtuous

A party that represents the interests of the rich and the putinful. The representatives forsake their constitutional responsibilities in return for a bellyful of caviar and cupful of American whiskey or Hard Lemonade. A grand old party indeed

According to lore if you place a frog into boiling water it will jump right out, but put the frog in warm water and heat it to a slow boil. It won’t perceive the danger until it’s too late. The poor frog is cooked to death Welcome to America 2025. What was once a melting pot, is now a rolling boil

Look no further Elonia Musk and it is evident that the barons of Wall Street and tech, as well as the lobbyists who enable them, enjoy far greater political representation than the individual store clerk, call agent or working class Main Street laborer #ProtestTheGOP

To preserve the dreams of our ancestors requires we act with an urgency the situation demands. We need to engage in bold and direct action. National strikes, sit-ins, daily demonstrations and other disruptive but non-violent methods. We need to leave our comfort zones and make proactive sacrifice.

There are no good people left within the GOP. If you stand with a Hawley, Cruz, or Greene you stand with a Himmler, Goebbels and Goring. There is no more hiding; no righteous platform or ideology to cloak your intent. No moral ambiguity from which acrobatic acts of cognitive dissonance can spring.

To preserve the dreams of our ancestors requires we act with an urgency the situation demands. Traditional checks and balances do not apply to unconventional threats. The water is getting mighty warm. If you don’t jump now you may never get another chance #ProtestTheGOP

America’s democratic institutions, her standing as the beacon of hope and freedom to the world’s oppressed and underprivileged, is dimming. The vision of our founding fathers compromised by the rise of a global oligarchy. The interests of the few prioritized over the dreams of the many.

Like all bullies this administration's plan is to marginalize, delegitimize and, if necessary, squash dissent and opposition. Doing so allows them to continue presenting alternative facts, only now without the alternatives. Lies then become truth, and perception reality #ProtestTheGOP

Though he didn't really make the Statute of Liberty disappear David Copperfield once captured the country's attention when he made the world perceive that he had. Deranged Donald has in reality rendered Lady Liberty's words meaningless yet the country continues to chase squirrels. Sad.

If we continue to react rather than lead. Continue to await the catastrophe before we plan the response. Continue to allow the gun to fire before we implement new controls. Well then our Republic’s destiny is prewritten. Our descent towards authoritarianism a fait accompli #ProtestTheGOP

America has a long history of standing up to bullies and Nazis. We take pride in the melting pot that is America. We readily ecognize that diversity IS the American identity. We can't change that anymore than a tiger its stripes.

Consider progress GOP has made in legislating permanent caste system since Trump rode down his golden escalator. The takeover of the Courts by right wing fanatics who through incredible acts of acrobatic cognitive dissonance will decree blatantly discriminatory laws as facially neutral and rational

The GOP is not a political party united by common philosophy. Like a cult, they share but a common end goal. A blend of dysfunctional causes that crave the rapture, money and guns and fear that the masses want to take that from them. Dependent on each other to protect their interests and privilege
