Let them say that when we were faced with our biggest test to date --- We stood for kindness and compassion. We stood for freedom for all not just a few. We stood for integrity not greed. Let them not say that we capitulated due to fear !!! I am proud of you all !!!
Republicans are so much better at confrontation. I'm fed up with whiny Democrats posting about how outraged they are. March to the buildings where offices are being invaded by unelected creeps. Actually do everything within their power as elected officials, as human beings, and as angry citizens.
Apologies, I stopped looking after 15 minutes of sorting through trolls only to find the 2/5 protest info. It might be more efficient to pull the good info from there to here?Bigger audience?
There is a Bluesky feed for the 50501 protest. I've visited numerous times. Here's the the 50501 web page that has all the social platform links. Going there today, there are fewer links. Can't tell you which ones offhand, but I believe one of them is Threads. https://50501movement.carrd.co/
fight back. Align yourselves with powerful organizations that are fighting back. Bernie Sanders has begun a separate investigation. Supposedly the Democrats will have an announcement this afternoon (Feb.3) Now the FBIs' James Dennehy. https://bit.ly/4hIrfdU
🎯He is itching to declare Martial Law & get rid of the constitution & take total control. He just needs a reason. Just like Hitler he needs a fire. Don’t give it 2 him. We R winning battles. We stopped him from freezing OUR $$$. Keep speaking up/be visible/don’t get discouraged. That’s what he wants
He has receive push back, at least in the courts. We got them to stop the freeze on our money. He wanted to stop foreign and domestic funding and we said “oh hell no” and they said “jk, we’re not stopping your funding 😭.”
he is already refitting GTMO into a concentration camp for immigrants. He will probably have it up and running shortly well before the 2 months it took Hilter.
I am hopeful that there are things going on behind closed doors that we just don’t know about yet, but I also have an email ready to send to every Dem congressman today.
I do both! Usually nobody answers the phone, so I leave a detailed message and then email, too. I always request a response so they at least have to open the message. I am in AL so they probably know my name as one of the few non-Republican constituents who contacts them.
He has total control of all three branches, 450 billion dollars and physical access to the deepest mechanisms of state, which makes him an extremely dangerous target. Calling him to account when they have only words to wield is an extremely dangerous move, makes some sense they would take care
I know about conscription, and know that the number of voluntary soldiers in the Nazi-era Wehrmacht greatly outnumbered the number of conscripts. I also know that complicity in Nazi atrocities extended beyond military service, for one example...
I understand your "point" is that Hitler was able to amass a military because non-German elites saw him as an anti-commie and didn't stop him. But his army was a mass of the German people (and some small set non-German vols) responsible for their own evil acts.
Yep, missing the point.
- OP says "German people", you conveniently reduced that to "army".
- Conscript/volunteer: the Top is the Command, command is in top. (see UK in that Great WW1).
- And, of course: Nazi Germany was allowed by UK, France to build their fascist army. Let him go ahead in Spain.

They are all in now, because they know that death is the only thing that awaits them in failure. Expect them to do as much damage as possible if they see they will fail. I expect Musk to hold everything hostage so he can escape.
The Heritage Foundation has at least 100 contributors to Project 2025. They have started to implement that plan. Trump was very transparent about this.
I think we've stepped beyond a crisis and have elevated to a full blown coup. They are following the Playbook for Fascism to a T! See for yourself 👇 from https://counterpunch.org
Well two months, a couple of years in jail, “mein kampf” a decade plus of the Nazi party, and the complete destruction of the capital building that he blamed on the communists that triggered the whole thing. Im not trying to belittle the point. I just hate that we do this apples to apples.
What he didn t have was a government system that gave immense power to the states and the courts that was put in place to be able to stop a lot of this. This is scary times and I won’t lie I’m uneasy about a lot of stuff, but to from zero-holocaust in 13 days just doesn’t help anybody.

"UNELECTED FOREIGNER GIVEN SEIZES CONTROL OF US TREASURY?"
DOGE HAS NO LEGAL AUTHORITY INFORM US
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
They are dismantling every aspect of our government and country while we watch. They have no regard for the ppl who depend on services, on our culture or the things we hold dear. They have no loyalty to this country. And what do we do but watch. There needs to be a TRO to stop Musk.
Alas, it turns out the FBI tip lines are pretty useless
The voice activating is crap and even the email one is very convoluted and keeps flipping me back to the first page
Stick with contacting all your congressional members and leadership
How ?!!? They dismantled the fbi already. What are you talking about outsing yourself as a citizen for not agreeing. Start looking at other countrys like North Korea and such because we heading that way fast.What does a abuser do first? He makes your friends leave.Canada and Mexico were those friend
I will not give up I will not give in. I will fight back.
I am the daughter of Holocaust survivors
Trump, Musk and their thugs can all go fuck themselves
Sue, please don’t take this the wrong way. I am a 60 yo BF ret. atty. I fought! I’m leading from behind this time. lol 😝 white people need to lead this…💙💙✊🏾✊🏾🤜🤛
I read somewhere it only took 53 days to take over. That is shocking.
me. Time for a quick reaction force to secure Elon Musk. He is an a mission to destroy OUR government.
The Felon was laundering money for RU mobsters in his casinos in the '90s and also skimming off the top even as he bankrupted them. He got fined by the govt. for it. Repeatedly. Like he cared: it was a fraction of what he was laundering and stealing. Now you know how he co-opted FBI.
Actually he’s been working on this for years. Working on his base. Working on making important people falling into place by whatever means. He seeks revenge.
Same! Jesus it’s like lemmings not only following each other off the cliff, but coming up with excuses for how the lead lemming is a righteous forward thinker that’s saving them, even as they watch the lemming in front of them fall! Insanity!
I think you go to bed at night with Hitler dolls. With Russians under your bed. And boogeymen everywhere. The rest of America gettibg some rest knowing we are being protected and cared for again by President Trump.
We are not 1930’s Germany
We are Not Russia under Putin
We are Not Hungary under Orban
We will fight the fascists and authoritarian attempted takeover of our Republic.
Where is the Federal Judge to step up and stop this Treasury Coup by Muskolini Not even elected. KOT is a menace.
How's that working out for him? At this point, Canada could finish him off. There is nothing left of his army. Right now is he time to crush him. The parasite that he is.
They're using passenger vehicles and delivery trucks with in-field modifications because there are no more military-grade vehicles in reserve. Their "big threat" weapons are either duds or missing parts. UA is out-doing them in the drone wars. It's down to personnel counts and front line positions.
Have you been following the destination of their infrastructure by Ukraine? They are pretty much unable to produce more munitions, half the railway system is inoperable with no ability to rebuild destroyed train engines and their energy production capabilities are half. David is crushing Goliath. ❤️
To me it's comparable to WWII. Early on, one could see that Putin's mob were overreaching. They got trapped on the narrow roads to Kyiv, their vehicles' tires fell apart in the mud, and their "superior" fighter-bombers turned out to be poorly deployed. Comparable to Nazi failures on East Front.
Add to that sanctions and no battle strategy, and the whole thing is reduced to WWI tactics. Would not be surprised to see horse-drawn wagons ths summer.
He just doesn't know when to quit. His ego won't allow it. And yes, his WMD's are a joke and he knows it. If he was going to use them, he would have done so 5 threats ago.
At least one rocket blew up in its bunker shortly after ignition. The deep strikes by UA are showing up on satellite so there is good corroboration on losses. What is underreported is the effects of internal resistance. Gas stations, warehouses, offices, railways, power grids etc destroyed/damaged.
Perhaps that's one of the reasons why Trump has grabbed control of the federal purse strings and the DOD with his Hegseth sock puppet? Is the US going to switch sending military supplies to Russia instead of Ukraine? I would be outraged, but not surprised.
Trump has been helping the Russians/Soviets by laundering money and likely selling secrets. The Profumo affair wrecked the UK government in the early 60s, yet the US seems okay with a loudmouth traitor today? Boggles the mind.
This isn’t helping Jon. Those of us on this platform are aware of how quickly and how badly things can go. What most of can’t grasp is one thing we can do to stop it. The usual acts of citizenry don’t matter; are ineffectual. Should we take up arms? Chip in to support for hackers and assassins?
We can't depend on our elected officials to do the right thing and can't wait until 2026 mid-terms! What are we to do? I feel like protesting isn't effective but j have no clue where to start. How long before all of us here end up in prison for speaking against the government?
Money. Start with money. Do not allow your money to support any of the forces working against us. E.G. Amazon, Tesla etc…
Shift money to local. Support independent journalism. Give to ngos helping desperate people. Create a safety net for yourself,family, others.
Amoral people understand $ talk.
Also, reduce the amount of plastic in your purchases, even if it costs a bit more. Big oil is investing heavily in continuing growth in plastics. Let's make sure they lose that bet.
If it helps wake people up to reality of what is happening, it most certainly does help. What doesn’t help is putting our heads in the sand and acting like everything is ok.
You don’t think 98% of the people on this platform are gobsmacked with understanding? Existing in a state of panic never serves us, only them. Turn down the panic, turn up the tactical strategy.
If you want to shout the sky is falling, fine. Just follow it with an action folks can take.
Oh hell no. Not having that. OVERWHELMING US is not workg, Trump! Judges ruled against you. Strong court cases by Skye Perryman's DEMOCRACY FORWARD etc... Marc Elias's DEMOCRACY DOCKET etc...
I think those words hit most people on the Prodemocracy side as sounding like MAGAs, the only difference being substituting different names in their "Hang Mike Pence" part. But as my WWll Dad always said, "I'll defend to the death your right to say your words."
Are you aware that there’s a coup in US right now and at the very least you should use whatever in your power to make a difference? When the Constitution is disregarded, there’s no President either.
Right, and I was getting ready to ask you how many hours you've spent in the past few days Helping the situation by emailing and calling Repub Senators using 202/224-3121.
IKR. Then ¼-½ of 77M who voted for Trump (who aren't MAGA & do cherish the rule of law) vote for our 2026 candidates. It's excruciatingly difficult, two years of this crap, I know!! A Huge Majority in the Senate & House = our bills pass. The razor thin lead now = almost nothing is passed for 2 yrs.
I called the regional office for mine when I got a full inbox. I actually got a person at one who took a message because they "can't speak on the representatives behalf"
He worships dictators and apparently loves shitler. He's backed by the heritage foundation, and they want to install a religious theocracy in the usa. They want to undo the constitution, etc.....
What concerns me is that he told us what he was going to do during his campaign and up to his inauguration. Yet, we don’t seem to have a plan on how to combat this. What is our message? Who are our leaders? I feel we are all adrift. Lots of hand wringing and outrage. But, what’s the plan????
The thing is the USA is made up of 50 separate states with a lot of power over their own selves. Germany didn't have that internal distribution of responsibilities. I mean, California alone has a population close to that of Canada.Ask your state rep what they're going to do!
❤️ I used to have relatives in Indiana and it's such a beautiful state. When one of my friends there comments about the politics (she's definitely not R) it's so disappointing.
I have lived here my entire life, almost to the top to the literal bottom in my 53 years. I was predominately raised in Indianapolis and I moved away for over 20 years and I didn't really want to come back but I did. That being said some of my favorite times were in rural areas, not today though..
My father (born Poland 1917) arrived in US in mid 70s via Europe, UK, Africa, Canada. So I only had a few visits, including 3 funerals, but lots of sightseeing. Somehow Indianapolis made me think of The Great Gatsby, not sure why, and the shining moments when America did seem great.
Worse yet. He told us his plan and all the little white boys whining about imaginary grievances signed up to personally experience fascism cuz that would make their pathetic lives greeeeaaaat!
Up to us now. Injustice, chaos - and climate on brink of extincting us. Stop buying ANYTHING you don't need except from very ethical, pref. local co.s. Markets adjust to demand - or lack of. & gov't adjusts to markets. Start RIGHT NOW.
I'm already participating in this movement. In addition to reduce, reuse, recycle, I'd add buy fair trade and sustainable even if it costs more. But the main thing is to reduce plastic consumption. Plastics is where Big Oil is placing their investment dollars. Let's make sure they lose that bet.
It took Hitler 53 days in a pre-digital age. Everything happens in a fraction of the time now, and the conditions for this have been planned and set for a long time by his puppeteers and party strategists. Trump is not a master visionary behind all this.
None of this is even remotely constitutional. Congress, not the Executive Branch, has the authority to create & dismantle government agencies and has authority over federal spending. Do we still have a Congress or are they formally abdicating their constitutional authority?
Hitler got power in Mar 1933 but Gestapo was already interrogating & sending opponents to concentrations camps in summer 1933. Western Europe (France, Portugal, Switzerland) were inundated with thousands of German refugees: Jews, intellectuals, gays, freethinkers. Read books by Erich Maria Remarque.
What shocks me more is how quickly America forgot Elons relationship with Putin! The crashes, tariffs, immigration were all a distraction from Elon committing in house cyber security attack on America. He walked right in allowed by traitor trump. We are under attack! Research Elons ties with Putin🔥
They cry, look over here - immigrants, bad people while they are walking in Treasury and stealing data of all citizens. They muck with tariffs- look over here, while they destabilize economy and make bundle on bitcoin, gold. Keep your eye on the ball
Sorry my friends but to save our country as we once knew it; pre Trump, is going to take an armed uprising I'm afraid. But first we need the military on our side. If not we will be doomed!
When Wall St opens in a couple of hrs Orange and his people are gonna find out the hard way who is REALLY in charge of the economy
They will squeeze his balls until he inevitably capitulates
Perhaps then he and his supporters will realise they have been played all along - but don't hold your breath
Don’t forget: Mein Kampf was Donald’s favorite book for many many years. He’d probably go to sleep at night thinking “oh the things I could do if I got the chance”.
He’s got the chance. And he’s following the blueprint.
The question is, what are we going to do about it?
I’ve made this comparison frequently lately, but the idea that it can happen here is beyond frightening. To think this is where we might be heading is unthinkable.
Governor Youngkin here in Virginia refuses to take calls. Instead, he sends an email directing me to contact my Senators, which of course, I’ve already done. Youngkin is toast!
They keep, blocking, rescinding, etc. wasting tax money, people getting yanked out of their jobs, and risking people actually losing their retirement. They need to quit messing about and just get rid of him.
Hopefully seeing what’s happening to your neighbours will give Canadians a bit of a jolt not to let the same happen there. Apathy is dangerous to democracy.
I'm not shocked by anything they've done. Anyone who bothered to read Project 2025 knew in advance exactly what they would do. The only surprise is Musk.
what I'm most shocked about is that democrats in congress are doing absolutely nothing about it. they keep telling us that it is illegal but sit there and allow tRump and musk to do anything they want. musk is getting access to classified information. what the hell is he doing with it?
I sent emails to my Rep and Senators. If you aren't "checking and balancing," there is no need for you. Wouldn't DOGE love to cut all that wasteful spending?? 😒
So the salient question begs if we know this, as we’ve known the tropes for almost 100 years and, if it is indirect opposition to US democracy, why is history repeating itself and why are we allowing it to?
People are just mindlessly walking around drinking sugar and obliviously sitting on their sofas watching TV advertisements as though life is going to be the same.
Does ANYONE have the power to STOP THE COUP?
No but I'm shocked at how many Democrats in Congress are just giving up and voting for his awful criminal choices as if his nominees have anything to offer America except destruction and chaos.
This isn't shocking at all, we spent four years watching Merrick Garland's DOJ decide that SCOTUS Justices accepting bribes wasn't worth looking into at all and there is no hurry when prosecuting an insurrection.
Don't expect SCOTUS to stop him, either. They're in the bag, too. Dems will have to get 60% of the vote at midterms to have a chance to win. DEMS MUST STAY UNITED!
I hate to break it to you, no one is riding in on a white horse to save you.
Only you, collectively, can save yourselves...by taking to the streets, in huge numbers, all over. To late for anything else.
The only reason tyrants win is because people protested too late.
I’ve been defending the Democratic Party the last couple of weeks, but my defense is starting to wear on me. I’m inches away of becoming an independent voter now.
Where the fuck are they?
I’m tired of people with a platform and in power telling me that Trump is a threat. Do something!
Hitler was literally just one person in the Nazi attack on democracy. (Albeit a crucial one.)
It was those who supported him ( via fear or ignorance) OR those Germans that looked the other way (“it won’t affect me) that gave power to such darkness.
Indeed. It is the silent masses that allow felons like Trump or Hitler come to power and to then let them do all the havoc until the demage becomes unbearable. It took Hitler a few weeks to come to power, and it took Europe over 55 years to recover
I received an email from one of my US senators stating what legal actions can be taken to stop Musk. Yeah, we've seen how effective legal action can be—NOT! If legal action was effective, Trump would be in prison. Court cases take time. We don't have time!! I'm going to call my US representatives.
The fucking democrats refused to listen & BELIEVE us nobody's who told them EVERYTHING the 🍊POS wld do & it's INFURIATING they had NO PLAN in place.
Fuck the elder Ds who only cared abt "norms & fucking optics" Pelosi Biden etc
Put @chrismurphyct.bsky.social & @repjasmine.bsky.social in charge
I really think it is going to take the people. If this crook can get 3,000 people to go to the Capitol for Jan6, the left should be able to gather a bigger mob to protest the Capitol (peacefully)
I've seen something going on Tuesday.
They're worst. They are crazy and violent. 😠 But I'm feeling a vibe change now that tRump is betraying his base as well. Even they did not want Porject2025.

These are the ones who allowed Hitlers Germany to grow an army, to fight ... the communists.

"Adolph" is not correct.
Also, gives you the welcome option to miss the point.

Already in 1925 Churchill was a fan of Mussolini.
- OP says "German people", you conveniently reduced that to "army".
- Conscript/volunteer: the Top is the Command, command is in top. (see UK in that Great WW1).
- And, of course: Nazi Germany was allowed by UK, France to build their fascist army. Let him go ahead in Spain.

America is under another attack from TRUMP as Musk and others are chipping away at our government's infrastructure.
He’s got the chance. And he’s following the blueprint.
The question is, what are we going to do about it?
Nope. We’re just that much MORE ignorant here than the entire world.

Or customize them.
You have to give them your name, billing address, credit card number, etc. to start the trial (and actially read the article)
They have to process this data in respect to their privacy policy. If it says they can sell it to data brokers- they probably will sell it
You know, the one where they declare Marshall Law.
It's not like we need a trial, we have millions of witnesses.
