Don't let Trump flood your zone. Stay focused. Keep your eye on what this corrupt regime is really doing — looting the government to line their own pockets with massive tax cuts and the ability to steer more federal contracts their way.

Elected democratic officials should have demanded manual recounts when it became apparent that there was a non-trivial number of ballots voting for democratic senate and house representqtive but not the matching presidential candidate. They chose not to accuse republicans of fraud for optics.
You really need to fire the high school kid who creates these posts. It makes you look stupid. Btw, I think it's the same kid who post for Democrats and Republicans.
None of it is a distraction, it's all a degradation of our country. Pick those areas meaningful to you that you can make an impact on, and concentrate on those. We don't each have to be "torches in the street" on every matter.
DOGE has identified 50 billion in taxpayer savings on ridiculous programs and grants under the auspices of the Executive Branch. This is a hallmark of a constitutional republic operating for the benefit and welfare of We The People.
Pointing out the stupidity of the administration is not a waste of time. People who pay little attention to politics need to see how stupid and petty this man is.
I’m no economist, but isn’t firing thousands of federal employees from decent paying, productive, and purposeful jobs more harmful than helpful to the economy of a capitalist society? Unemployed people can’t spend what they don’t have. Cutting gov’t contracts w/billionaires would be better for all.
Also, federal employees basically subsidize their own paychecks by paying income tax. Which is the opposite of what billionaires w/gov’t contracts are doing. Billionaires pay little to no income tax, never their fair share, if any at all. Cut the contracts, tax the rich, and reinstate the workers.
Not everyone is looking through a CLEAR or CLEAN lens.

Regimes manipulating maps is a big deal! We should not be dismissive of the serious dangers in Trump’s ultra vires, not to mention bigoted and incompetent renaming of the Gulf of Mexico. When Trump’s “unserious distractions” become decrees, it’s a problem. We can walk and chew gum at the same time.
Why do you allow this to happen? If this was South Korea or France people would be on a general strike, they would march in the streets, they would act and fight.
Americans can't post their way out of fascism via SoMe.
Most of the people fighting this can't afford to be fired from their job for missing work for political reasons, and many can't afford the missed day of pay even if it wouldn't put their employment at risk. Also, American citizens have been conditioned to political apathy for 3 generations.
Thank you for understanding. A lot of people in other places don't even try. We are indoctrinated from childhood to believe we support the cause of liberty and justice, and not enough see the truth. I just hope things turn around before there's only one solution left.
Do you know that the gulf of America is only 22 miles out of the land. When you look in the books the waters belongs to Mexico, Cuba and international waters. We need to make a map like that.
Mission: expose the danger . Oligarchs uniting to raid the treasury. Tax cuts for the rich. Poor people hungry, sick and homeless. Middle class will become the poor people very soon.

That CONDOM BS is just a distraction....they want to take your mind off of WHAT THEYRE REALLY DOING....DISMANTLING OUR GOVT... firing specialists, gutting regulatory rules and laws, DONT GET DISTRACTED...KEEP FIGHTING BACK...LOUD!!
The condoms weren't going to Hamas in Gaza, Palestine. They were going to Gaza, Mozambique, where there is an AIDS epidemic, and they need the condoms.
Sometimes it helps to talk about trivial dumb stuff too. Not everyone has the ability to understand why what Musk is doing is bad. But everyone can understand why renaming bodies of water is stupid.
It exposes the problem of a spineless ‘free’ -press that concedes the point to get ‘access’ (ratings /$$$) because we’ve allowed too much corporate consolidation.
Keeping an eye on things is really not much help. What is important is to find ways to reverse everything that is attempted! We have to find ways to combat the unconstitutional, anti-democratic ways of the current administration!
Accepting lies as truth is not meaningless. This is very deliberate, especially when this is being done by the tech companies that should be protecting the truth, not bowing down to a dictator. This is dangerous and it’s just the beginning.
You are doing a great job. Let’s organize a shadow government. Lots of voices all covering the same territory is not good. We need a united front with assigned tasks and discipline.
It's always been the Gulf of America, we always liked Russia, Trump didn't lose the 2020 elections, J6 was just a friendly protest/ didn't even happen, Republicans that hate Trump are not Republicans, eggs are too expensive(under a Democrat) it's a complex issue (under Trump).
Right on the money. I hope to hear you post about how the felon Trump attack on the penny is actually a attack on the poor. Poor people use pennies you know.
Only US based Google users have Gulf of America on their maps. The rest of the world sees "Gulf of Mexico" and the US is now labeled "Trailer Park With Nukes".
Totally see what they’re doing but who the heck is stopping it ? They’re not fighting fair , why should we? I mean come on already, another week the ss will be gone they’re doing it so quick!
Indeed. His opinion on the legality of his actions - and what that opinion may lead to - is far more disturbing than his attempts to rebrand international waters.
There is a bigger reason elon is cutting programs and taking our money. He’s investing $ in conservative racist groups in the UK. He plans to cheat their election like he did ours, putting his leadership in place. Russia will take over the UK like the U.S. Why are we asleep at the wheel here?
Cartolandia, CDMX:
Exasperated by Der Trump’s demented declarations about the “Gulf of America,” Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has extended a diplomatic way of saving face by offering to name a hole after him.
it's a CIA world, and all cia
right now the headlines should say doge, doge, doge but they say fentanyl....
it's a deep state world, cia owns everything
except trump.
I hear tell that Mexico is going to notify Google that an immediate name change is to be made for an area on a straight line out to 12 miles from the border with USA running southeast to a point 12 miles north of the tip of the Yucatan and the new name is "The Mexican-Yucatan Sea"!
But, I accept your point that the controversy is just an attempt by trump, and possibly due to it being pushed by musk, to distract USa and make it easier to GRIFT, to a greater extent than they could, if everyone is paying attention to their actions!
Some of USa, are not distracted, at all!
Afford care or Medicare premiums AND know someone working as an LCSW in a detention center telling you people are severely traumatized, anxious and depressed and that’s just the minimum you are not going to be distracted by nonsense. Everybody will know somebody affected by all of this.
Well when people you know are under threat from his firings and you watch so many get fired knowing those people have kids and family affected, listen to people who can’t afford enough food or find/keep their housing, work with people suffering with medical problems who can’t
But no one appears to be doing anything? WTAF are people doing? Now I’m hearing the world is going to be divvied up between the US, China, India & Russia? I can’t even ignore the theory now because that is how it feels. Here in Aus we have Dutton just gagging to bend the knee to the US.
The little, distracting, seemingly meaningless things need to be fought too, and some are better suited to the little fights than the big ones. Everybody should play their part in fighting back at the level they are able.
So much coming at us that it's hard to understand and keep track of. This morning, I came across this discussion with Heather Cox Richardson that breaks it down, offering suggestions to move forward. Please pass it on to wherever your republican friends and family reside.

That's where the ire belongs. Ditch everything that's Google and Apple. Ditch Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft...all of it.
There are alternatives available. Consumers simply have to move away from firms who serve Trump
Elon Musk is raiding the treasury and kneecapping the government’s ability to do anything about it or rebuild itself after he’s gone.
It's a way for the regime to assert dominance and test for compliance.
Organize. Resist. Oppose.
The urgency is NOW!
But only if you want to continue living in a Democracy.

Same situation as "when they came for... I didn't speak up because..."
You're heard on Focus, but giving ground ...
Why do you allow this to happen? If this was South Korea or France people would be on a general strike, they would march in the streets, they would act and fight.

We don't understand 😬
It's so unusual that people don't all have unions, healthcare etc. - it makes people way too dependent.
The political apathy doesn't help, of course. Thank you for answering.
On behalf of you - and the rest of the world
Does one punt, or point out the obvious gas-lighting?
