Some of us are involved with groups like ACLU, Reproductive Freedom for All, Freedom From Religion Foundation, Indivisible. Doing things like emailing or calling legislators. But we need more cohesiveness and leadership. I don’t know where that will come from.
Pushing back starts with us, but as with any change, to become fully realized there needs to be leadership. I am curious to see whom it will be-- hopeful and optimistic because that's how I am wired-- and ready to stand together even though at this moment I don't know what that looks like.
We can argue over semantics with the broad term of “poor people”, I can demand that people put my legitimate bitch in there about tribal sovereignty, and any anyone else left off that very truncated visual, just like we have the past decade.
OR we can collectively put energy where it can make a difference: boycotts, organization, and ending the mindset of separation of our personal issue. Build community as EVERYONE is affected globally. THIS is where we work.
Sorry, what? I suggest you take your anger elsewhere.
Healthcare and disability issues aren't semantics. DEI is a workplace concept. The crackdown won't actually affect disabled people who aren't able to work, after all.
I'd have been satisfied if healthcare was included, but it wasn't.
Up next, shut down the Department of Education, force women to stay home and have children by tracking their periods brought to you by Peter Thiel's Palantir Technologies. And then use those uneducated children for child labor. That's how they do it in Christian Nationalism.
If we go by history, the normalization of our leaders being terrible will keep getting worse because the only way we got to this point was by poisoning journalism so they would become more focused on hysteria than righteousness.
First they came for immigrants, inspectors general, transgender people, DEI, scientists, women, poor people and intellectuals - and it’s only Saturday of week one
We in Europe support that you stand up to the Orange Turd and his sycophants. Don’t feel sorry for yourselves but fight because that’s the only way to beat them. By time the Democrats stand up and fight harder! Do not support the GOP in anything. Play their game!
a majority of native americans voted for trump, they don't deserve to be mention as the majority of legal immigrants also voted for trump....they didn't mention black people, the only group that voted for Kamala in the majority.
This really should scare the shit out of people. They are much more focused and driven this time.
It took less than a week to close the loophole that got him impeached.
They are going to spend the next 4 years preparing to prevent a peaceful exchange of power.
The Berlin wall was called the Anti Fascist Rampart in East Berlin.
There were no Fascists in West Berlin.
There were Allied Capitalists in West Berlin.
Now as then the lies about Fascists are the same.
Imaginary Fascists are imaginary always in your head.
This is a misunderstanding of why the US got involved in WW2 in the first place. They had no problem with Germany’s rhetoric, which was heavily inspired by US laws. The US rejected Jewish refugees. If they had moral objections, they would have got involved much sooner.
it was Elon hacker musk, Russian bots and corrupt Electoral College that put turns in the OO, not the voters, as I've continuously tried to say over and over.
A lot of us think the same but I don’t know what can be done about it. If Congress won’t take action, where do concerned citizens go to get effective action? A state AG or State Supreme Court in a state where tampered voting algorithms were found or where bomb threats occurred.? Who approaches them?
"Since that election, these types of hybrid warfare tactics have become much more potent and destructive, and our enemies have widened their usage and application–As an example, note the myriad bomb threats received by key polling places on Election Day 2024 which disrupted our democratic process."
Well, that’s all illegal? So do the local police handle that or FBI or some kinda cool-ass TV CSI? There’s gotta be somebody whose job it is to track down the perps and make arrests. If CANDIDATE (not president) tRump needs to be hauled in front of yet another judge PLEASE let it be Marchan
just keep steering the conversation away from blaming the voters, I guess until a channel opens up. at the rate that trump is going, it shouldn't be too much longer before he shoots himself in the foot. 🤞
This analysis has identified patterns that are consistent with vote manipulation, as has been seen in countries with confirmed election interference. (ie. Georgia, Russia)
“In the Clark County Early Voting data, we see indications of a potential ‘vote-flipping hack’ that may have shifted votes after 400 ballots are processed, gradually limiting Candidate Harris to near 40% and Candidate Trump a minimum of around 60% vote totals.”

Is anyone keeping a monetary tab on weekly expenses and costs regarding deportation/personnel/transportation charges and effects on communities (regarding labor shortages/shortfalls, increased food/product costs, loss of state/local tax income, et al). Know where to find this data?
That's a good question & I hope there's one that is truly independent.
I asked a similar question on Perplexity and got these results. I don't know any of them but might check them out later.
HOW MUCH does it cost to fill up (or not fill up) a military plane, fly it to Mexico and BACK? WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY!!!!????? Anybody questioning this?

It's up to us now, the people. We're going to have to do this the old fashioned way. We can't allow the USA to be overtaken by authoritarians and oligarchs. Don't sit idly by! Now is the time to fight, obstruct, object, protest and challenge in every way possible to stop them.
Remember that even with all the evidence available, U.S. voted to die younger and have bad teeth by destroying Obamacare/ Medi Care, and removing fluoride from drinking water.
Calcium fluoride is generally the natural kind. But even that causes harm.The fluoride that you drink is probably never-safety-test hydrofluosilicic acid, a toxin-laced waste product of phosphate fertilizer manufacturing. Consuming a fluoride-free diet won't harm teeth or any body part.

Break it down for the people to understand. First they came for the Walmart. Then they came to the Target. Kroger took flex pricing and ran to win the Monopoly! Make sure you drive your car to work and remember what the twin towers burned for. Supporting the billionaires is hard work. 🥰
You nailed it . I thought America is a FREE country! But women can’t get abortions, people that feel they’re in the wrong body & make changes to feel happier not allowed ! They pay taxes ! Blacks Browns & anyone that king trump thinks doesn’t fit must b eliminated. Hungry kids ? He cares not
Well, at least he thinks the job is just Mon-Fri so hopefully we'll get weekends off from any pure evil news drops and can take a minute to digest the current shit piles..
And Black people! Don’t overlook the EOs purporting to outlaw diversity programs and overturning anti discrimination in federal contracting. The Air Force has already canceled Black History Month programming. They are literally trying to erase Black people from positions in government or history
And when the gas Chambers are turned on the people who voted for this won't care. Most of them will laugh because it's happening to the "right people". Republicans would rather live in poverty and without healthcare then let their perceived enemies have even a glimmer of happiness.
That party or Fox News and the propaganda troops peddling fake stories and hate speech to the home bound people who want to find someone to hate. Fox copied Limbaugh
Social media is what dominates the media landscape today and that is right-wing dominated. But more importantly there is no limitations on disinformation and lies in the way it was before. That has greatly helped the right-wing. Also very little media is truly leftist. It is billionaire controlled.
What I mean by that is that the so-called "mainstream media" is often described as left-wing but it really isn't. You can see how it will always attack leftist candidates such as Bernie Sanders, AOC etc. They represent the interests of the billionaire class more than anything else.
Thus the populist left that could have mounted an actual defense and counterpoint to the radical right that has risen today in the US never stood a chance. They got knocked down quickly by the corporate media. Common people got tired of the corporate centrists controlling media.
If you think our media is left then I am begging you to take a media literacy class. The dominant pop culture for since 2008 has been Marvel and I would charitably describe it as neoliberal propaganda.
I'm guessing you're being sarcastic, but if not the media are owned by large corporations, they are capitalist through and through, the illusion of a left biased media is helpful though for limiting opposition.
This may feel like you’re dumb, or people are calling you dumb for asking this question — you aren’t, and if they’re calling you dumb it’s because they’re morons with a superiority complex. The information economy in america is built SPECIFICALLY to give you these impressions — “the left” has the
media and you dislike the media (because who doesn’t, it’s all owned by rich losers), therefore you should vote for me/donate to my campaign/put a flag up with my name on it or whatever.
This era we’re in right now is the culmination of a war that most Americans don’t even know is happening.
And it’s been truly about 70 years of preparation for this one moment, and the popular conception of the media in america is a big part of it. Of course you were fooled — everyone was.
The closest thing to “Mainstream left news” we have in the US, I would argue, is Mother Jones which is dying a very slow death as it was print media-forward.
People may say CNN or MSNBC are left news, generally these are people who confuse “left” and “liberal,” which is an intentional sort of ignorance built over a very long period of propaganda starting at the end of the Red Scare to try and criminalize liberals the same way they were doing socialists.
CNN and the 3 major networks are streamlining their "news" coverage, to appease FOTUS. They are scared of the wrath of the Führer. You need to find independently owned networks to get halfway factual news. I also tap into overseas media, after fact checking.
BlackRock and Vanguard own 18% of Fox, 16% of CBS, 13% of Comcast — which owns NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, and the Sky media group, 12% of CNN, and 12% of Disney — which owns a number of subsidiaries.
it's going just swellllll....just heard my mother is in the middle of an NIH research program - Undiagnosed Diseases Network (as a patient) and the program may get cut soon.
This is indeed disgusting and scary, but remember that every group they come after has LOTS of members who are here and in pro-democracy groups that are being mobilized. The more they attack, the more of us are radicalized for democracy. Apparently Project 2025 thought we'd all roll over and stop.
We aren’t going anywhere. They are whiny bitches. We are the future, and the present. Don’t back down. We won’t win every skirmish, but we will prevail. #courage

All those people who told me that it's good to have a book-length plan that you publish online and make available to everyone for free months before you'll *might* have the opportunity to enact the plan were right after all. Well, I'll be fucked with a fork.
So there’s more to add to that list. The first female Commandant of the Coast Guard, federal executives (SES), federal workers working remotely, federal workers who have any nexus to DEI. What have I missed? I’m sure there’s more.
Watching for responses from Australia. Down here, along with the rest of the World, we are just hoping it doesn’t cause too much of problem outside of the coast of USA. We are still slightly bewildered as to why it all happened.🇦🇺🦋🙄😳
Thank you WuTangIsForTheChildren for your powerful, woke words of wisdom, service to The Cause, and commitment to the love and eQuity of true Obama Style.
The rest of the LGBTQIA+ should be on there considering all the anti-gay bills, but they're definitely going after our trans brothers and sisters the hardest.

The DEI aggro is about the workplace.
The disabled and unable to work or limited in their ability to work have been more specifically hit by healthcare and med cost changes.
Healthcare and disability issues aren't semantics. DEI is a workplace concept. The crackdown won't actually affect disabled people who aren't able to work, after all.
I'd have been satisfied if healthcare was included, but it wasn't.
You did…
