Organize, mobilize, n get those guys voted out of office. Have them as the permanent opposition party. Never to be in positions of authority until the party changes direction from its current path.
and keep informed. Bullies need fear and ignorance to win. This observation of Russia is eye opening. It's relevant because Trump is using the same playbook.
Cool!
Who is organizing?
We have ZERO dem leaders heading the charge.
We have ZERO non-politicians standing up.
We have tons of angry posts & claims of protests/ acts, but none formally endorsed or led by known, reputable folk
Just hope humans will form a school? We can't get them to form a line😂
I am not panicking, yet. Can we file a class action suit against Musk for possible Constitutional transgressions causing anxiety and mental anguish among Americans..
I'm not eating or sleeping.....my BP is through the roof. I've missed time from work bc my anxiety is so bad. My physical health is also taking a beating.
I'm already disabled....I'm afraid soon, I'll be dead.
@tribelaw.bsky.social, why are you so quiet about suing for a writ of quo warranto? You know that's the only remaining legal means of stopping this madness before Jan 20, 2029
"Organizing" will do nothing to stop him before then, and very likely will be mute by then
Both! It's ok to panic, be anxious and upset! SO MANY are losing their jobs, benefits and rights. But we cannot lay down and do nothing. We may have to process ALL of this, but WE DO need to organize and fight!
When the wrecking ball has swung beyond its reach, consequences ensue. We the sane collective, have the opportunity to move the pendulum towards the moral imperative. Sadly, there will be overwhelming collateral damage in all facets of our society. Health,security, education, financial,

How Elon started on the Deep State totally unprepared for what was about to be uncovered!
He then moves strategically into position with a full team and devours the bureaucracy intent on fraud,abuse, and mismanagement!
If you don't intially panic then you are to some extent in denial. Then, chill out as best you can, and organize. Organize with others and organize your thoughts. Figure out the best ways you can be an effective part of the reistance.
Don't we have actual branches of government and state officials who should also "do something"?
We now have king Trump and queen Musk with absolutely no accountability or checks on their power. Can someone convince me that this isn't true?
Yes, when your own party utterly failed you; when impending oligarchical autocracy is building right before your eyes - yes, there is little choice but to. But I will never forget how institutionalists in our party got so much wrong. From Garland to acquiescence to playing the R's game, not offence.
Okay but the shark (in our case) will turn around and eat some of the fish. That’s why many won’t organize cuz they don’t one to be one of the ones that’s eaten. Even tho the bigger picture is in sight, it won’t happen when people are only out for what’s in it for them.
How....effectively that is...not just actions that make ppl look involved and busy, like they care. I want to know HOW to effect change that is lasting beyond temporary restraining orders that just get reversed by some court along the way.
but what i meant was more like, a lot of people's thoughts amount to "holy shit we need to do SOMETHING", but all the somethings require a lot of other people doing the exact same something
Yeah, okay but we have social media and a lot of other people are having the same thought and you can be an organiser - I admit I never got beyond giving a speech for friend who was an organiser and manning a desk for a friend who was an organiser but it's ordinary people who organise.
Our biggest problem is lack of understanding. The orders would be coming from ourselves, not from the wannabe guardians/autocrats of we would simply take some pains to think a few things through and act in a strategic, targeted, smart way that allows for non-violent achievement of sought-after ends.
Well, we also know that being a homicidal maniac with no rules of engagement and certainly no due process is not all that ideal either, no?
Sounds suspiciously like Pol Pot's MO.
Or at least some paid troll in some basement in St Petersburg encouraging US-on-US violence.
Nice try, Ivan. But this shoot first without knowing who you're shooting business, and this chaotically malevolent desire you cherish of burning down all semblance of human civilization and causing nuclear winter ending life on earth permanently, is by definition Nazi in both quality & provenance.
General strikes are proven to dismantle authoritarian dictators! It has been a tool used across the world to overthrow authoritarians like Trump. Join the strike, they don’t get our labor to line their pockets anymore: https://tinyurl.com/strikebitch
This is the reason all of the laws are targeted at The People, to keep us subservient. This current situation clearly shows there's few limitations on elected officials, because that's what the ruling class has been exploiting for themselves for over 200 years.
Take action with our voices, bodies and wallet. Cut the lines to the rich. Gather around the bullies. Action always speaks louder than words. And as we've seen lately... sensible words hold no basis with Republicans.
This is overwhelming for all of us, Rosey . I have to keep pushing forward. As my 96 year old uncle once told me, " Be a good soldier, keep moving forward, and don't look back!"

GET VOTERS TO THE POLLS.
Politicians support the policies of the people who vote for them. A lot of the left-leaning advocacy groups offer noise and division, but don't bring votes.

We need professional guidance. I see posts here and there about protest dates and boycott dates but only on places like Bluesky. How do we reach the ill informed? They should know red states depend on the Feds more and what they’ll lose because of maga policies.
I'm too lazy to count but is that forty-two fish altogether? Cuz that would be funny to those of us who are fans of Douglas Adams' Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Ya know, I was thinking something like that. File new W-4s with our employers, withhold nothing, put an equivalent amount in escrow to pay at some later date, if things improve. Starve the beast. If Rump and Elon don’t pay taxes, why should anyone else?

Citizen opposition must happen now - 4 ideas to slow down the dismantling of our gov.
5th idea-“A Day Without” work, school, purchases & Internet. Staggered region by region, citizen led work & spending blackouts roll across the country in waves. There are 75 million of us.
Trump and the billionaire oligarchs are very afraid of a popular uprising and a military that refuses to behave unconstitutionally. The parts that are new in this struggle is the effect of state/oligarch controlled digital media and how it distorts individual’s reality
We need a lead fish. Someone to be the face & voice of democracy, like you know who is the face & voice of the red hats. He never left the playing field. We have to have a leader & fighter for the resistance right now. Not just during an election. Where have they gone?
Trust me, I've thought about it. If there are others in Ontario that are willing to fight with me, I'll do it. But I posted a bullhorn last week, talking about a bullhorn rebellion against Doug Ford. It got few likes and reposts. No one cares. I spoke to a mortgage broker in Ontario...
...who said that if Trump takes over Canada, he'll at least be paid in American dollars. This guy is a college-educated Canadian. At least we'll be paid in American dollars? Are you kidding me? I tried to educate him but he wouldn't hear it. Believes everything that Ford says.
And where the hell is Crombie? Not on Bluesky, where she could mobilize all of us. The fix is in. I'm also suffering from cancer and it's far worse because of Ford's cuts to health care. I'm STILL WILLING to go out into the cold with a bullhorn. But I'll need help. 💙
Right! Cuz what We The People need right now is a singular person to lead the charge against Trump! Cuz we need one guy to lead us into battle against the guy who wants US to follow HIS lead!
So. *looks around* Who we got to blindly follow so we don't have to think? Well. There's that TRUMP guy!
If all your doing is media lists I agree, it won’t be won by Dems. However people like myself who’ve been activists for a long time are: Contacting our MOC regularly, protesting outside their offices, giving money to the ACLU, CREW etc….who are fighting in the courts, we’ve sent postcards…..
…emailed potential voters, registered people to vote, stumped for candidates, have joined various grassroots organizations etc…etc…etc….Dems must champion the hard core items that affect every American:Affordable housing/living wage/healthcare for all, global warming.
The people who’ve been in power aren’t adjusting fast enough. If the largest voting block the 18 to 29 year olds would vote……republicans would never see the light of day again. The ONLY people that have the power to get them to the polls are their PEERS.
It can seem that way but we don’t have the majority of seats in congress so unfortunately we are rendered fairly powerless and there’s only so much we can do.Legally that is.We can try going nuclear which could help but they are lawmakers, not a well armed militia.They can’t exactly storm the WH.
I've heard suggestions that General Milley is up to the task. Bullies only respond to being bullied back. Firepower. I hate to say it. We need real statespeople and seasoned generals in place. 💙
So part-time war? Trump & his minions are dropping bombs daily. 24 hours stops nothing. It’s like a snow day. Get serious about democracy like the Ukrainians or our ancestors. You start the economic shutdown now & don’t let up until they do. We actually have to make a real sacrifice to win.
But we gotta start somewhere, and most Americans don't have high union participation, or community organizations like black churches to organize something long term.

I’m a cut to the chase kind of woman, & to me we have 2 choices/paths: blue peeps secure a separate alternative for our future, or we engage in a bloody to the end civil war— because the fascists will never negotiate, as we have clearly seen…we all know this is true…
Oh yeah, really? Democrats don't FIGHT! They might occasionally turn out in Large Numbers for the Peaceful Protest but they DO NOT FIGHT! Until they do, they won't WIN and I will not join them!
#1, Call a LIE a Lie, not Mis Quoted ,Alternate Narrative, Not a False Claim, Misrepresentation, Not Sensationalized, "Previously Reported" or "Has Been Reported" without giving Sources...That's just number ONE. #2, STOP Voting to allow the least qualified to gain acces to our most cherished info
How many of the TOP "Progressive Democtrats" just voted to allow Pete Heseth to be the head of the Defense Department? GABBARD To the National Intennigence? Fucking Kennedy to lead a Gawd Damned Trash Truck? Kaine, Booker, Kelly, Gillibrand? Just to name a few? Gezus Tits Democrats? Really?
Our government used to work for us because they feared the people. Now, our reps have so much power that they no longer care or fear the power of the people. We need to reinstall that fear. Otherwise, we have an authoritarian monarch growing and taking over.
We need all grass roots orgs to coalesce under one umbrella with leadership coordinating their various actions, from registering voters to flipping districts. @indivisible @swing left etc @aoc
Readers: Ask your local officials if your state or city has funds on deposit with Citibank and whether those funds should possibly be moved. This is in light of Citibank’s reported transfer of some deposits in NYC-owned accounts apparently on orders from the national administration.
How can we keep Musk from using his technology in the voting machines???
It was evident he and his kindergarden crew tampered in the presidential election. How can we ever have a fair election????
We are becoming Russia.
Exactly……how do we get our faith leaders, corporate leaders, community leaders and political leaders in a room to organize/strategize to overtake this inside coup
@raskin.house.gov Please start a class action suit against Musk/Trump as you described on The Weekend! Millions of us are waiting for a leader and event that will bring us together in force.This would generate huge energy and could be a beginning of the end - our SOLIDARITY! Be our Lech Walesa!

In addition to the one day economic boycott 2/28, we should all try to stop buying anything we don't need from now going forward. Try to shop local small businesses when you need to, but all of us can try to buy only what's necessary, nothing more. It will have impact if enough people stop buying.
I hope people are organizing offline because everything anybody posts pretty much anywhere is scraped. I'm not suggesting we NOT act... but it had better be covert.
It doesn’t seem to be happening organically and no seasoned leaders seem to be stepping up to provide a structure for it to develop. It’s just mind boggling how nothing significant is happening. I can’t get anyone interested in pushing back. I feel doomed.
This is truth!! However, we the people needs leadership!!! I can think of all kinds of idea's but need help implementing!!! LEADERSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RESIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prof. Tribe,
State bars may be a last line of defense to preserve rule of law. Delegations of lawyers & law professors should be pressuring every state bar to issue a statement declaring that ANY Trump Admin lawyer advising defiance of court orders will face IMMEDIATE suspension pending disbarment.
Yes it is, but I’m gonna tell you that everyday I get notified to call my senator or rep & tell them to vote against bondi, tulsi, Kennedy, Patel. And then the republicans vote them right in & the hell begins. I feel like wet sending thoughts & prayers….. useless
I don’t think it’s useless. So far they are not changing their votes but knowing there is pushback out there does have an impact. Thank you for calling 🙂
This Item in the leaked Ways & Means Committee document could be read in two different ways-- I am betting I know which way Fascist&co will read it! Are they planning to codify executive branch take over of the rules of congress?
Work stoppages, boycotts, sit-Ins, protests, plaster the public space with notices of Musk’s Coup, of RFKjr’s crazy, of Gabbard as Putin’s ally, of Trump’s inflation and tariff costs. We also have physical and digital sabotage and guerrilla drone subterfuge against Musk as he destroys our country.

We need leaders. We need orders.

We just need someone to tell us where to strike!
Showing up is the issue.
When enough people show up leaders emerge.
Go and protest - organise a protest - make a group - print flyers - have you never done a protest before?
but what i meant was more like, a lot of people's thoughts amount to "holy shit we need to do SOMETHING", but all the somethings require a lot of other people doing the exact same something
for example, the economic blackout? i don't think that's gonna work if it only lasts a day. but there's no way to discuss it and replan.
We fought tyranny once before, twice, thrice before, we can do it again, and again, and again, forever, if that is what it takes!
