Dear Friends,

Yesterday, Americans from coast to coast took to the streets to protest Elon Musk’s presidency—despite the corporate media’s claims that there’s been “no resistance.”

Media’s living in their bubble, ignoring Musk’s coup until people rose up in 50 states

capemellen.bsky.social•16 days ago

I have emailed my Reps & Senators multiple times because their voice mail was full.

Good! Keep at it! 🌟

retiredmatthak.bsky.social•16 days ago

OK so let me see if I have this correct. Executive Branch is circumventing the constitution, 1/2 of Legislative Branch is complicit. This leaves Judicial to keep constitutional law with lawsuits until it reaches SCOTUS! Then it's a crap shoot! I'm ready to shut down the country completely!

jwbfat16.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh, it's worse than that.
Just suppose that SC(R)OTUS rules against DJT.
Who will enforce the Judiciary's ruling against the Executive?
Bondi? Patel?
Then SC(R)OTUS issues a contempt finding, right...
The Judiciary needs is own Constable-In-Chief, empowered to imprison anyone that SCOTUS fingers.

retiredmatthak.bsky.social•15 days ago

Why I think we may have to shut down the country entirely!

raraweez.bsky.social•16 days ago

I am concerned that Elon Musk does indeed control the US presidency. I do not believe this is Trump’s choice. He expresses a deference toward Musk that he has only ever expressed toward one other man. Musk is one of two men who maintain sufficient leverage to subdue and control this president.

I just saw that quote on CNN. Wtf???

Elon and The Felon!

t-rosie.bsky.social•15 days ago

Be mad at Musk and about what's going on but just remember, this is DJT's fault.

Leave it main stream media to run scared of Tump. We have long memories. We won’t forget!

kalapalapalace.bsky.social•15 days ago

I love to see it but we are going to have to unite together and do more than protest. STOP spending money. The only other defense we have is the power of the purse.

northstar123.bsky.social•15 days ago

throw some sand wherever you can ...

stecook.bsky.social•16 days ago

People need to see that the protest needs to be unending until this is rectified. We need a Maidan uprising!

kkitche.bsky.social•15 days ago

If they don’t see it, or report it, it never happened. And many times, even when they see it, they don’t report it accurately. It’s been this way since Obama was elected. The White Trash Supremacists will never get over the fact a black was elected POTUS. Racism/Fascism is what they thrive on!

katieholten.bsky.social•16 days ago

Huge protest here in NYC yesterday outside Senator Schumer's office.

BIG protest planned in NYC for Presidents Day. Please help us spread the word. Thank you 🙏 https://bsky.app/profile/katieholten.bsky.social/post/3lhkdcykoek27

mykel11.bsky.social•16 days ago

That’s nice but the resistance needs to come from Congress and elected officials.

clairetuohymorgan.bsky.social•16 days ago

We should be framing the effort positively—we aren't the resistance, we're defenders. We protest to defend our rights, to defend the Constitution.

csdavis9.bsky.social•16 days ago

Wish the media promoted these actions much more than it has.

lollioness.bsky.social•16 days ago

Tell them! Call their offices and tell them you will no longer buy their sponsor’s goods and services because of their cowardice, and you will tell the sponsors that, then follow through and call the sponsors.

fredgrott.bsky.social•15 days ago

Tribe...Feb 17th is President's day and we are honoring it with another protest....LETS GET LOUD!

birdy56.bsky.social•16 days ago

We need to keep resisting every week eventually they have to acknowledge or be like Russia and ban protests. Once they start sending people to gulags maybe people will get off their couches.

elysiumjohnson.bsky.social•16 days ago

I don't watch much corporate media, but I do watch Rachel Maddow. She covered the protests yesterday, and even informed viewers of a protest today and gave the DC address and time it began.

Protest in Greensboro NC yesterday!

teufelhunden0352.bsky.social•16 days ago

Yup, pretty quiet here yesterday!

teufelhunden0352.bsky.social•16 days ago

victoria4h.bsky.social•16 days ago

After seeing how Mexicans burn American flag I am convinced that illegals had to go.

teufelhunden0352.bsky.social•10 days ago

Burning our flag, or any nation's flag, is disgusting and signifies the perps as enemies and when possible charged with a crime and prosecuted. With your reasoning, we would then need to "deport" American citizens as well. I'd bet most were actually Americans, Illegals unlikely to do it as it.

norbizness.bsky.social•16 days ago

They tried disappearing hundreds of thousands of protestors (millions worldwide) in the run-up to the illegal Iraq War.

Even fired Phil Donahue in favor of mouthy non-entity Chris Matthews over at MSNBC

charmcitycrab.bsky.social•15 days ago

Chris Matthews had been with MSNBC since literally before it's inception (He was on America's Talking, which MSNBC replaced) at 5pm and/or 7pm ET (In various eras, sometimes both timeslots at once.). Phil Donahue was at 8pm. Therefore, Chris didn't replace Phil. Just in the interests of accuracy.

norbizness.bsky.social•15 days ago

Didn't he get Donahue's slot and the publicity push, i.e. all of Donahue's high ratings flowed to him? I just remember that two months after Phil was shitcanned he did his embarrassing "George Bush is a high-flying rock star" shtick.. with Anne Coulter... on Mission Accomplished Day.

theresaz.bsky.social•16 days ago

Yep this was a delusion I guess

chiefdksw.bsky.social•16 days ago

We need to protest instead of working and stop buying anything that is not immediate needs. I am 100% sure that boycotting work for a week will hurt, but we have to stick together. The option of letting do this is much worse. We the people hold the power. Remember that. 2/28!

drummike.bsky.social•16 days ago

A day of no spending could attract attention. It could be repeated as needed. Pick a date and get as many people as possible to not spend anything on that date.

lorihjschaffer.bsky.social•16 days ago

We need a general strike. I am already striking.Just do it! I have stocked up and plan to stay home, not go anywhere, unless absolutely necessary. Then, when I actually have to buy things, I will shop locally and avoid MAGA owned stores. Get out of the stock market!

While protestors March, DOGE/Musk is now in control of the Office of Personnel Management, the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the US Agency for International Development, the Federal Aviation Administration, NOAA, and the CIA has been invited to leave peacefully.

Well, all corporate media have turned into Mar-a-Lago press agencies ever since the White House turned Orange in January.

megidd.bsky.social•16 days ago

The resistance needs to grow grow grow and keep going. Remember special elections coming up Florida has 3 positions and now York has 1. Time to take the House back and kick speaker Johnson to the floor and put a stop to this madness.

jwbfat16.bsky.social•15 days ago

That is what people need to know, one seat at a time, in order to get back the House.
2026 will be too late.
Of course, the Democrats would have to have the ad money to do it 'cause media ain't gonna report on what might be in the people's best interests unless they're paid :-J

Weird that the mainstream media ignored the story,

smarternow.bsky.social•15 days ago

Will be going to next rally in Raleigh.

huckmucus.bsky.social•16 days ago

Because protesting is not resistance any more than a strongly worded letter is taking action.

alessale.bsky.social•15 days ago

Rachel Maddow was the only one that covered the protests. Checked NBC news with Lester Holt, no mention. What is going on?

victoria4h.bsky.social•16 days ago

No There was nothing in San Francisco . You are lying POS

victoria4h.bsky.social•16 days ago

Dems are freaking out over Elon and the USAID racket because this has been a blank checkbook for them for years to fund far left ideological groups and agendas.

They’ll die on this hill because EVERYTHING the left does is a scam, a lie, and a grift. Nothing is genuine. Nothing.

jksinto.bsky.social•16 days ago

You need more. Instead of thousands, you need millions.

splootman.bsky.social•15 days ago

It's a great start but it should only be the start. If Americans want to save their democracy then they need to get out day after day. Unrelenting pressure on the regime is what will break them.

ladyoldandgray.bsky.social•16 days ago

PSYCHOPATH Trump’s/Eloon’s/Putin’s MAGAs are a redux of Hitler’s Nazis = psychopaths & their psychotic human pets.

These stupid, fragile, reality-overriding (for many), SADISTIC PERVERTS—trapped within the behavior patterns of their disorder—will grow HORRIFICALLY worse until stopped.

ccmone.bsky.social•15 days ago

And yet your "legacy" media has barely mentioned that fact.

delizad.bsky.social•16 days ago

Corporate Media sucks!
