This is where the real fight of our lives is. Whoever controls the media, controls the political opinions and controls the people. I don't understand why liberals feel that doing the right thing wins, it only wins if the people understand it and right now a lot of brains have been highjacked.
100%. I have never understood the ridiculous idea that the upper class will come to the rescue and save the lower classes with their obviously superior morality and work ethic. How did they become billionaires in the first place? On whose backs? Why would they change that?
Billionaires are reinforcing the security on their homes to protect their safety and wealth from the lower classes, because unlike the lower classes, they know what’s coming
Time to knock on virtual doors folks. No one is swooping in to save US. Can we hold our noses and get out there to see if anyone didn’t understand or wasn’t/isn’t paying attention? As with any election it comes down to the #s - how many want this vs how many don’t. New recruits and converts first.
So... as an outsider... do you guys actually have a recourse you can apply and force his hand beyond a few judges telling him no? Do you have a legal way to rip Elon off his throne? That man is still a private citizen is he not? Presidential immunity should not apply to him.
No. It will come down to the people rising up. Normally when one defies the courts, the US Marshalls are sent to arrest them. But the US Marshalls are under his jurisdiction...Maybe enough of them will disobey when he orders them against the ppl.
I'm thinking when we've reached the other side of this, a few of your old white man rules might need to be changed. Not saying they don't also need to be fixed in Canada, but your checks and balance system appears flawed if it was this easy for him.
He’s exposing how much of our system at the top is reliant on norms and historical precedent. So none of the “normal” ways of recourse are available to us, as they all rely on that framework.
His unprecedented actions will have to be resisted by unprecedented methods. It’ll take time and creativity
I know you guys aren't just sitting around. Thanks for taking the time to give me a thoughtful response.
We're rooting for you, and demanding our leaders step up to oppose what he's doing. Our premiers are headed there, but I have concerns about 2 of them, they're part of Team Trump.
We don’t actually have time for one part of this. They are bypassing the part of our constitution that says you and I get to debate where our $ is spent, thus consolidating purchase power into 1 CEO and removing a key component of our self determination - the entire concept our our republic.
That's kinda what I was thinking. He's realigning the government to bypass the check and balances and getting away with so much because of the smoke and mirror orders he doesn't care about.
YES. My grass roots opposition is to call that out. 1st on our territory - good people need eyes wide open. Then on their territory to see if anyone doesn’t understand the subterfuge. Tech bros had this coup planned for years. No brawls. Just dropping fliers over there.
as someone who's worked in lending regulations, the important work the cfpb does/has done would surprise most consumers - but i think therein lies the biggest problem: most have no idea just how much protection the bureau does on a daily basis & how much banks would get away with w/o that oversight.
More of this please. It would be helpful for Dems. to tell voters how trump's "policies" will have a direct effect on their lives. Unfortunately, my experience is that conservative voters do not care unless it affects them.
where are the checks and balances? I took Civics, wonder why they stopped teaching that? Clueless populace on how gov't is supposed to work. In the US Treasury. I am glad to see Judges doing something but it's looking like we have to climb up a rung!
Great to see you and love that you're speaking up!!! This is outrageous and I feel like I am watching a weird movie like "The wizard of Oz meets "Alice in Wonderland" and they're are all going down the rabbit hole and the Queen of Hearts is screaming off with their heads!!!!! It's surreal
I took out a loan to build an ADU. The contractor who was fully vetted by the loan company “supposedly”, took my money and ran. The CFPB forced that loan company to cancel my loan. Without the CFPB I would still be paying a loan because of fraud! They do more than just deal with banks! We need them!
So tell everyone who will listen, not just on social media. Ask your local Paper to write a story, tell a local radio story interview you. Call your reps daily!
Can you hold your nose and go share this where people may not have understood this was coming or maybe weren’t/aren’t paying attention? Just like an election this comes down to numbers.
Ive been telling them, I think we all have. But last week I finally deleted that “other app” for good. Its about time they find out the hard away unfortunately. To all our detriment 🤦🏽♂️
Tell anyone else you know who has given up that might consider just showing back up on those platforms for presence, not brawls. Turn off ads. Spend more time here. Drop in over there when something good to share. They are counting on us staying right here and commiserating.
We don’t have to win arguments with the haters. We just need presence. Understood many people are choosing this.I have to believe there are some that didn’t understand how harmful this would be or weren’t engaged at all. Result of the coup, as with any election, will come down to the #s.
1. CELEBRATE judicial wins, no matter how small. They are flooding media w/fake wins
2. point out everything they do that hurts the avg american so more might pay attention
3. show up so they see our growing dissatisfaction
4.Watch for coordinated efforts that might move them to oust Musk, the CEO
Don’t worry. It’s going to hit the MAGAS. The funds that NIH cut off affect every University. The red states depend on their Univerisities. UAB is the biggest employer in Alabama. GA’s Universities lost 780 million. That will affect Athens, Augusta, and Atlanta.
That’s a bit down the road. The tech bro coup to reshape our governance, bypassing the part of our constitution where we get to debate (through house/senate) how our $ is spent is happening right NOW. 1 CEO isn’t supposed to tell US how to spend our $. We are supposed to be able to debate that.
At this point it is not just about economic hardships. The tech bros are ideologically opposed to us debating where our $ goes through our reps in house/senate. They think it’s too slow. That debate is a key provision of the constitution and is what make US governance unique. Affects us all.
Oh wow! I had no idea they did stuff like that. I had heard that fraud like that happens so I was always concerned about hiring out for work when I go to buy a house. But like...buying a house doesn't feel feasible with everything happening in the air.
It's been coming. I saw the 2008 crisis as a canary. If regular folks lost their housing based on THAT, someone was going to take advantage of housing inventory eventually. Until we start requiring stricter limits on surplus housing to people who live in their homes, we are gunna KEEP having issues.
Then maybe you all shouldn't have lied to our faces about Biden's cognitive fitness to try to pass off a lemon until it was too late to have an open, free, and contested primary. The corporate, warhawk Dems told us fascism was on the line but they sure didn't act like it.
Ma'am you don't know me. You have no idea what I say or what I think about the GOP. But why should that mean no accountability for Dems no matter how they perform, in any case? I don't agree with you that it is my moral obligation to support the lesser of 2 evils, no matter how evil they get.
If you have interest in substance rather than vague snark: I do understand what you're saying. But I would posit that "the job" must include commitment to essential human rights and a transparent democratic process. Voting blue last cycle could not have accomplished that job. That's on leadership.
You're speaking to the Dem establishment. It's THEIR job to maintain democratic process and deliver quality, value- aligned candidates and policies. Instead, they decided to try to consolidate power for their donor class. That failure sold us all out at a critical time, TWICE.
In a recession, people buy less and barely get by.
In a depression, people go hungry and have to sell off things like family farms, second homes, and businesses. DJT is dragging us into a deep depression so that the wealthy can buy up everything.
Yep! Why don't people see or understand what's happening? I'm unable to leave my house alone because I'm 73 and unable to walk. I scream at the TV or my phone. It's a coup!
People don't read history or biographies anymore w/ 90% of those who lived through the great depression, gone. Today if kids fail to learn history in school (A LOT) they don't bother to check out a book or CD from a library. People today are clueless and this is what liars and con men rely on.
Time to rebrand the Democratic Party to -
WORKING CLASS PARTY.
Project 2025 and Republicans do not have the interests of regular Americans. That includes Farmers, Teachers, Firefighters, Police, Healthcare workers, Bank Tellers, Steel workers, Car Manufacturers, etc.....
Why can't states create a similar dept?I envision red states would also pressure for this or strongly consider moving.If the Federal Gov/Red States won't protect consumers, States should.Then we look at eliminating the electoral college and go by popular vote.Creates jobs for those displaced.
Thank you Pete. We all know why you had to take a little break...but this country needs your messaging and I was so very happy to see you back. Did you set all records for new followers yesterday when you showed up???
I can't believe people believed him when he said he didn't know anything about Project 2025. It was always the plan. That's why he was elected. The founders of the plan wanted to install someone they could control.
I keep seeing “Trump is doing the things he ran on.” No he isn’t. He didn’t campaign on going after our allies by annexing them. He lied and said he didn’t know about Project 2025. And he certainly didn’t campaign on “owning” Gaza.
That’s why I am so frustrated with some Dems ‘oh well he won’ attitude. He won by 2 mil votes & I bet a good 1/3 of those had no idea that these things would happen - right wing propaganda took care of that. Then there’s the 90 mil who, if they affirmatively wanted this, would have voted for it.
Yes. His campaign surrogates have openly commented on developing Gaza for profit/development and he has openly been willing to allow further annexation of those territories. He also openly campaigned on "DOGE" slashing apart the government.
It is squarely a you problem if you didn't pay attention.
Like what did everyone think DOGE was going to do when Trump won? Trump's own platform called for ending the Dept of Edu.
He explicitly ran on these things. No one paid attention and are now acting shocked he's doing all the things he and his surrogates said they would do.
He didn't run on Musk and his band of incels getting access to our personal information, Social Security, bank information and cutting off necessary aid to the American people & abroad. He said he'd lower grocery prices and instead they've gone up.
Bad, sad job
It was known that he would "end" the Palestinian -Israel conflict. I don't know whether he said how because I didn't follow him, but common sense said it wouldn't be to the benefit of the Palestinians. No one can claim ignorance.
He is... and a whole lot more. It's so disturbing to me that there seems to be no line crossed that makes people say "wait a minute". They just keep on buying the spin and lies.
Agree, he's doing all the things he ran on plus one extra one that he ran on the opposite of.
He won so many voters specifically by saying he would end all wars, and then before he was even in office, he was already talking about annexing and colonizing everything.
Trump is doing the things we KNEW he was running on, but he tepidly disavowed or pretended to have no knowledge, of so that the racists would still elect him even though his actual platform was extremely unpopular.
If Democracy truly is dying in plain sight, then why have all of the living former presidents and vice-presidents been absolutely silent? Do they not care?
I had a number of people tell me that it was ok to vote for Trump because he didn’t buy into Project 2025 and it was all made up anyway. I’m not hearing a lot from those people now (not that I’m reaching out).
Musk/Trump fans, those that work for a living, must be under some impression that the $$ being “saved” will be refunded to them. Will they ever conclude that it’s going into a tax break fund for billionaires and corporations? That they’ll see increased state and federal taxes?
It's awful strange that those women the the most to loose (the top .1%) would attempt to dismantle the legal system that made them (and keeps them) rich.
Please, next election cycle, can we please focus simply on what we want to deliver and how we're going to do it? No more culture BS, stop focusing on whatever Trump says
Focus on what WE are going to do for America and how it's going to benefit the average person here.
What we are living thru is not of Trumps doing. He is just the monkey in the middle. The demented distraction. This was a well calculated plan and it took years to implement. This is not going away so easy. 1950’s all over again. God Help us.
Agreed. 2025 awareness was one of the great successes of the campaign. By summer's end, it was garnering more searches than Taylor Swift.
IOW, part of its success was message discipline. Our Benghazi, as it were. We MADE it unpopular through dogged determination, consistency and personalization
One of the news sources reviewed all of Project 2025 and Trump's XOs and about 2/3 of what he's doing is listed in Project 2025. It's not just the CFPB.
Our side's reveal on 2025 was pretty relentless and consistent, which is how one wins these media battles. Trump wants to shut down that laser focus by flooding the zone with attention-getting drama.
We need a new strategy which restores unanimity, planning, organization and take no prisoners.
What congressional republicans need to understand is that trump, vance, and the muskrat plan to ignore the courts AND THEN ignore all of Congress. They will abolish it. Kings don't need no stinkin' Congress. The repubs' cushy jobs, staff, and insider trading opportunities will vanish overnight.
Stop calling it just the CFPB. Call it the Consumer Fianance Protection Bureau. Average people have to understand in laments terms whats protecting them. Republicans bastardize acronyms like CRT and DEI to sound sinister. They are doing it to USAID now. Explain what it does man! Teach them!!
It's astounding to me how many of Donald's supporters are happy to see this destruction. I think it won't hit them until it hits them in the face personally. Are they that self-centered? Apparently.
Project 2025's biggest flaw is that it was written in plain English, that most items were intended to help fewer people rather than more. If your big-brained ideas for positive change are sum negative your math proof likely fails.
I think one can make a genuine case that some these institutions were quite far behind in the adoption curve of technology. They had the right mission but the way they were doing their job was essentially making the wealthiest companies get away with whatever they want…
I am not saying they should be defunded but it is important to introspect why some public institutions are so obviously failing at their mandate and what political will is needed to require an overhaul
Trump is a failed experiment as a president, businessman, father, husband, criminal, golfer, and human being.
finding anything redeemable in those failures, says more about you than Donnie
Definitely a better option for sure - they tend to care more about community & are member owned. That said, CFPB was the main reason that we sew credit unions removing things like overdraft & returned check fees. Credit union lobbies were part of the scotus case that tried to invalidate the CFPB 😕
Pete, announce your run for President 2028….let’s start literally fighting back with power! I’m sure there’s a zillion reasons why maybe this can’t happen…but I think you get my point? We need you!
I mean, yes. He is absolutely preaching to the choir on this and the other side definitely doesn't want to hear it. But can he really post his plans without giving up the goat for conservatives to counter-act those plans?
Don't even know what that's supposed to look like cuz I don't have any examples except for people walking up to security and getting denied going in, then just walking away and chanting about how they won't be stopped. 🤷🏼♀️ Fuck it, get put in cuffs! I wanna see that they'd be at risk for our rights!
I get it. It's like they're warning us about Project 2025 still, but that time has passed and it does nothing to stop voters who have already voted. The "told you so" method is not working. I'd rather see "if you're pissed, here's how to help us fight back" would be helpful.
They didn't have a backup plan prepared for the possibility of Trump winning. They knew he was going to do it. Sure, they warned us, but it seems they did nothing else.
I mean. You're preaching to the choir. But also, what does ANYONE do against someone who disregards the law and does stuff anyway with immunity from prosecution?
Also it attacks women aggressively with wanting to make abortions against the law and not letting women vote and so many other rights we would lose with project 2025( evil unAmerican and treasonist)
Because it isn't about the people, it is about the businesses. Why else would Trump get rid of international bribery laws, targeting OSHA, destroying the FDA, HHS, and USAID. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are likely next. Erode the inclusive institutions and the government can follow...
the gibberish is not unwanted. They want what Muskirump is preaching - and they still think he is doing a great job. Their medicade payments have not stopped yet. Most do not have health insurance and believe vaccines are terrible. Oh and women belong in the kitchen, barefoot and preggers
You are no longer competing in the Information Space, you are competing in the Attention Space and Dems are so gd boring.
How about - "Trump lied when he said he didn't know anything about P2025. But the first thing he did was implement it and that's going make it easier for banks to cheat you."
I will never not be shocked that so many people tried to sound the alarm about Project 2025, and the people who needed to listen just … didn’t. And now every bit of that fascist plan is being put into effect.
I had people say to me, “Oh, that’s not really going to happen.” It’s infuriating. It’s all happening already, exactly as outlined in that fascist document.
No matter what happens in the next four years, it’ll be the ‘Dems’ fault. Their chosen scapegoat. Not that some of them aren’t happy to throw other groups in the bonfire while they’re at it.
One of our local journalists called them Choose Your Own Adventure Trump Supporters, because they just chose to believe trump would do whatever *they* wanted him to do, despite all evidence to the contrary, including everything Trump *said* he’d do.
They continue to not listen. Willfully ignorant and for what? To be complaining about it, and blaming the wrong people for it? Because they still wouldn’t do the research to know who actually is to blame. This is gonna get old quick.
I've told the story: we worked the state fair booth in August, explaining Project 2025. The Republicans simply lied and said they had never heard of it. So people LITERALLY thought Dems were doing it! Because we explained it.
MAGA was so focused on "owning the libs" they "owned" themselves in the process. And yet are too stupid too see it and are asking Daddy for more please.
Unfortunately Pete, there are way too many uneducated fools who don’t understand this very simple concept.
Please run for higher office. The country needs educated people like you! We’re in the midst of TwattyFools & CorruptionCons trying to steal citizens blind.
I don’t believe many of them migrated to this platform. They don’t have their hate network over here for keyboard courage. I’ve blocked only a small handful. But then, BlueSky is harder to spell than “X”.
Why aren't a dozen Democrats plastered wall-to-wall on whatever media they can find talking about canceling the CFPB? It should be a very easy thing to show people it's worth. Oh, because the bankers donated to them too, and they might not donate again.
This is also why he said NOTHING about targeting NIH after his first attempt to cut indirects in 2017 and had swift GOP (and bipartisan) pushback including throughout his campaign. Massively unpopular.
Let’s face it, the man in the White House has a history of scamming people (the university, NFT’s, etc.). Should we be surprised when he supports gutting the CFPB?
Donald Trump has no clue how to govern, so he is a puppet being led by radical right-wing activists who believe conspiracy theories are facts. It is the blind leading the blind.
He never cared about governing & has even less interest now. His first run was driven by ego & his opportunistic nature. This run was motivated by the desires to avoid incarceration & to further enrich himself. Narcissism drives ever choice he makes.
Coordinated tech bro coup. So 2 storms feeding into each other. Each a means to the others end. Tech bros have no reverence for our constitution. They think it’s antiquated and makes us slow. They have tech, a massive cult following in MAGA and are rocket ships ahead of us. Now what do we DO?
The party needs a leader who is out there daily pushing back on Trump. It could be you. Make your comments a little more biting and the media will follow you around like you have orange skin!
It is a mistake to counter the argument fascists dangle in front of us. They attack the CFPB (trap set), and our focus changes. How about we question the goal of these 'audits,' instead? It does not lead to less tax, so what is the goal? Why is this good fight reactive?
The CFPB may not be working, but the laws still exist. If your financial institution violates the laws, fight back. Notify your State Attorney General.
Yeah, I remember when he first said that about the voting computers and I wondered if that was going to be investigated. Do we know? I hate to be in the same boat as the trumpers calling election fraud but this could definitely be interpreted that way.
@altnps.bsky.social lets you know what's happening within the different federal departments that are being attacked, in real time, by federal employees themselves.
skip the msm/legacy and go to the source. @hcrichardson.bsky.social, @nycjayjay.bsky.social are also good resources.
He's saying Trump tried to distance himself from it before the election because, because most Americans don't agree with what's in it. Therefore, plans like this are not campaign promises, and he does not have a mandate.
Mayor Pete, please file a petition to run for president ASAP so you can raise funds to buy on-air ads and hire online content talent now. We need YOU on stage in big rallies to communicate reality of world. #Pete #Buttigieg @georgetakei.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social @michaelsteele.bsky.social
I agree completely. He makes so much sense and can respond to the nonsense happening on the other side. Please Pete Buttigieg -try to do this. We can use daily common sense and need some hope.
With all due respect, that is not why it was unpopular. It IS unpopular because it intends to strip the rights away from everyone who isn’t a straight, white, cisgender male
What's it take to declare first Musk then Trump an enemy of the state? Because if anyone else had done half of this they'd be tried for treason right now.
WE understand that. So legitimately, what do we do? Clearly Trump DGAF about the law. Until enough people start feeling French, it’s all seeming a bit hopeless.
Follow the money; it always comes down to that! Those who are corrupt will consistently blame others for their corruption. #NOTmyPresident #Trump #Musk #WeThePeople #FreeAmerica
Spell out the acronym. People don’t understand what the Dems are doing because of obvious sht like this. We couldn’t even have Lina Khan, y’all suck at hashtag resistance or wtf ever 🤦🏻♂️.
Sir, it's clear most of the trump cult followers have not heard of USAID, they don't know responsibilities, of the Dept of Ed, or CFPB, because it require RESEARCH and TOLD what to think 🤷🏾♂️
We really need some like Pete with extraordinary communication skills out here on the stump talking the The People explaining what these agencies this corrupt regime are destroying really do!
Sir that is just one of many examples part of it also is attacking folks like you and well I just wish you had been a more vocal part of the Biden Administration and clearly Republicans understand you and you had the guts to go on Rupert Murdoch's bullcorn Network
If I understand the concept correctly, destabilizing the banking system is key to helping the rich get richer. The banking system helps prevent fraud, money laundering, enforce sanctions, and ensures that the rich pay taxes. Also, crypto would certainly benefit if the FDIC goes down.
Not all of us. The majority are not on that side. The stupid people just happen to be the ones who voted (perhaps). It's becoming feasible that Musk managed to interfere in the election. I hate conspiracy theories, but after all that's been happening, that one seems less and less crazy.
True, but a couple of points of contention here. Firstly, it’s not all of us. Secondly, your country has a bit of unflattering history as well. Lastly, I should point out that the fascist element on your side of the pond is still festering away.
We are watching and learning from our side as we have our fair share of fascists..
Thankfully we don’t have guns, medical bankruptcies, we have freedom of choice etc, etc.
We are far from perfect but we know our children are going to return from school every day..
Please note: the majority of Americans are not like this!! It's precisely BECAUSE what they are implementing is so grossly unpopular w/the ppl that they have to do it secretly, w/distractions, lies, & smothering reporting. Independent media is trying to get it out there! I detest what is happening!
Chief Justice Roberts, you mean this administration may not follow the government you shaped? How ironic.
MAGA may ignore the rule of law. Before Trump and Vance took office, Chief Justice Roberts warned that Vance’s hints at defying federal court rulings were “dangerous” and “must be rejected.”
Republicans are out in force on television telling the American people that the CFPB was corrupt. Democrats need to get the F out there and refute them. Tell the people about specific cases in which the CFPB protected their rights/money. Do not just say it protects consumers bring receipts & repeat!
Yes, Warren Pressley, and Waters held a rally, but it was not widely televised and the people there were already with them. Dems need to be more specific and broaden their message across more platforms. Conservatives dominate communication spaces, and they all repeat the same simple messages.
Warren was out there, as were (and are) many other Dems, not just those two. Unless Dems can get on Fox, the MAGAts won’t hear them. Fox won’t even air ads from progressive groups. We have to keep calling our representatives and demand they do more.
I named three and Pete made it on Fox. Dems have only recently found their way to influencer news platforms, and only a handful do those shows. That said, their messages are often broad, not specific. Most pepple do not know what the agency does or how it has specifically helped the middle-class.
In order to counter the conservatives, democrats need to be more specific- speak united, and find their way to as many outlets as they can. Joe Rogan said he would hear dems out; someone should take him up on that. Bernie did years ago and it boosted his favorability.
I agree. And the messages have to be simple and consistent. They keep trying to talk like they are speaking democrats, they need to talk in simpler terms/redundant messaging like fox News and the Republicans do to attract thier audience.
That plus they have a dedicated propaganda wing willing to lose billions in order to push out messages they know are lies. Fox. The left has no parity, despite the claims of "left wing media" that are projected. It cannot be overstated how much damage to our nation Fox has caused.
This is absolutely true. However, Dems can't just throw their hands up and continue business as usual- preaching to their own choir in the streets of protest. They need to build a platform- but until then, they need to get on Fox, Go to Rogan.
We can fight back because we have cases to show that these agencies work for the middle class. Are there areas that could be cut or made more efficient? Yes, but that doesn't mean we should tear it down with nothing to take its place. Make the argument with specifics in their court.
Going on the right's platforms is at the mercy of those platform's stipulations. Kamala didn't get on Rogan because that platform made unreasonable demands. Fox will do their utmost to only take interviews they feel they can use to push the Fox narrative, even if it involves talking over guests.
Pete was very effective on Fox. What were Rogans unreasonable demands? Harris was in TX, and she didn't go to him. He wouldn't go to her- she wanted to be president; she should have gone to him.
The Trump/Musk administration is a coup attempt. DOGE is a Trojan horse with no legitimate purpose. We must unite before their plan can succeed. Spread this message far and wide.
Trump was unpopular the day he came down his golden escalator. The greedy and poorly educated still voted for him. Good America is slipping away. Sad. Bigly.
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social you are brilliant at explaining complex topics in ways everyday Americans can understand. Any chance of you getting an hour on network TV to do a town hall explaining to America what is happening and why they should care?
All elected Democracts and pundits need to be out there telling people what is going on, loudly. The problem is that much of the media is owned by oligarchs, they are responsible for Trump being elected in the first place. They push out right wing propaganda.
Democrats are barely running defense, trying to plug leaks as they spring up. While that is necessary, even more importantly they NEED to be thinking and acting on both short and long-term offensive strategies.
The world getting USAID cut off has just made China the dominant Superpower, everybody was our ''fair weather friend'' not anymore the only reason 3/4 of the world tolerated us put up with us didn't hate us was money and food and aid. Trump makes the biggest fuckup in American history, no surprise
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social - we need one Democrat to be the leader of our movement against Trump. One person to coalesce around. The folks in congress aren’t good enough at messaging; you’ve proven you can lead. We need you to be our one leader so we can actually be organized against Trump/Musk.
Since we can’t dm you: with your military background do you know other likemindeds that are able to take up arms against this flouting of our constitution? When federal judgements are being ignored, it looks like we are going to have to wrest this from trumps tiny little spray tanned fist.
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social I am Claude Kilgore and I am rehabbing a historic building, The Armstrong on York, in Wheeling, WV. I am looking for Letters of Support for my application for 2025 WV SHPO development grant. Raffi Freedman-Gurspan said you may be interested in helping. Will write support?
FAKE news is pouring out of FakeXTwitter man. We should be so angry he is destroying our country!!! 😡 People are accepting the changes because they are believing the fake news created by this EM. We need to push our leaders to take action!!!
Change one person in your real life at a time. I make subtle remarks to suss out where dr receptionists, store clerks etc stand, aware of eavesdroppers captive in room who etiquette advises to listen not speak, seethe or smile. If they speak, you have better op. And I drop Chicago Sun-Times sections
It turns out that Trump was lying when he claimed during the campaign to know nothing about Project 2025. His OMB director who oversees the CFPB is one of the main authors. I suppose it's possible that Trump doesn't know that, but more likely he does and was just lying all along.

Thanks for your thoughts.
The rest of us will have to get the actual job done.
"Voting blue could not have accomplished that job."
I don't think the Dems are perfect at all, but they sure as hell are miles from the fascists the perfectionists ushered in.
In a depression, people go hungry and have to sell off things like family farms, second homes, and businesses. DJT is dragging us into a deep depression so that the wealthy can buy up everything.

Project 2025 and Republicans do not have the interests of regular Americans. That includes Farmers, Teachers, Firefighters, Police, Healthcare workers, Bank Tellers, Steel workers, Car Manufacturers, etc.....
They're afraid.
They're afraid beyond reasons and listening to madmen because they comfort them
Look closer at one next time, imagine the answer from a scared little boy trying to protect his mom.
It is squarely a you problem if you didn't pay attention.
He explicitly ran on these things. No one paid attention and are now acting shocked he's doing all the things he and his surrogates said they would do.
Bad, sad job
He won so many voters specifically by saying he would end all wars, and then before he was even in office, he was already talking about annexing and colonizing everything.

It's awful strange that those women the the most to loose (the top .1%) would attempt to dismantle the legal system that made them (and keeps them) rich.
Focus on what WE are going to do for America and how it's going to benefit the average person here.
IOW, part of its success was message discipline. Our Benghazi, as it were. We MADE it unpopular through dogged determination, consistency and personalization
By end of the summer, 2025 was trending ahead of Taylor Swift.
The question is, how to we regain that focus and intensity when CFPB is one of 100 Trumpian overreach, unconstitutional nightmares

We need a new strategy which restores unanimity, planning, organization and take no prisoners.
Trump is not a President - but a gangster surrounded by a syndicate of Republican cowards
They get ripped off buying useless Orange Jim Jones' bitcrap and it's an acceptable loss.
Fighting alongside government to stop fraud is obviously "Woke".
finding anything redeemable in those failures, says more about you than Donnie
Tell us what you are doing about it, and please let it be more than talk and paperwork.
Lead forces to physically allow people back to their desks when those court orders and the law are ignored.

How about - "Trump lied when he said he didn't know anything about P2025. But the first thing he did was implement it and that's going make it easier for banks to cheat you."
Please run for higher office. The country needs educated people like you! We’re in the midst of TwattyFools & CorruptionCons trying to steal citizens blind.

Overload the algo! Catchy meme says: "This is happening, Pay the Fuck attention"
Start a Protest, Create a Meme, Share a Meme, Start a protest!
We must act now, demand Oligarchy be removed from our government

So was this.
We knew about it here in the UK.
And yet millions voted for their own destruction.
So .. moving on … what’s the plan?
Or maybe it’s just MSM compliance.
skip the msm/legacy and go to the source. @hcrichardson.bsky.social, @nycjayjay.bsky.social are also good resources.
The average reading level of Americans is 5-6th grade, because people do not practice the skill of reading.
Hey snowflakes, it was sarcasm in case you haven’t notice.
You are probably aware there is anger out here.
You are ideally suited to direct and voice that anger.
While everyone is being scammed out their money, they are also coming for the kids with disabilities
Thankfully we don’t have guns, medical bankruptcies, we have freedom of choice etc, etc.
We are far from perfect but we know our children are going to return from school every day..
Be glad you don't have someone as shameless and moronic as Trump.
Dems should constantly refute the “mandate” nonsense. Benefit would be to mute that narrative/justification (& get under Trump’s skin)
“Joe Biden had a far larger mandate & didn’t use it to unilaterally tear down our institutions”
Because he also cheats people.
Elon’s poll numbers are “allegedly” favorable so he plans to keep going…..
MAGA may ignore the rule of law. Before Trump and Vance took office, Chief Justice Roberts warned that Vance’s hints at defying federal court rulings were “dangerous” and “must be rejected.”
The Trump/Musk administration is a coup attempt. DOGE is a Trojan horse with no legitimate purpose. We must unite before their plan can succeed. Spread this message far and wide.
PLEASE FROM A CANADIAN 🇨🇦
All is well for me today!
