The election was rigged, a process that took years to perfect. RW rigging worked in 2016 because of Dem voter apathy, but didn't work in 2020 b/c of heavier than expected Dem voter turnout. They brought in Elonia and tech bros to fix that. None of this was contested by the WH, the DOJ, or the FBI.
Maybe the election was rigged, maybe it wasn't though.
What if the overall problem is that there are too many assholes, that there's a prevailing culture of narcissism, sociopathy, individualism, bigotry, what then?
The rigging this time is very real but noone wants to say anything because of how maga looked the past 4 years. It’s reverse psychology and its working.
I'm glad you said that because it's so true. Reverse psychology caused Dem leaders not to question the rigged results for fear of being compared to irrationally enraged MAGAts, who protested because their rigging of the 2020 election didn't work like their rigging of the 2016 and 2024 elections.
Yes, and this is precisely what allowed Elon to rig the bullet ballots and take the presidency because they all knew the Dems wouldn’t dare risk looking Trumpian. It’s a heist and it’s happening.
That's what makes me so damn angry. He stood up and admitted to it. They know about voter suppression that took place. They seem to just be laying down and taking it. Was that part of the plan? I'm disturbed and scared.
We must Scream constitutional crisis together. Do not let them cause chaos and confusion. Remember we FAR outnumber them! Let’s do this to take back our country. Sign and share! Let’s show them how many there are of us ! We need to organize and start somewhere!
I’m 70 & can’t march anymore. I marched for civil rights, women’s rights, & ending a war killing my friends. Some change came & now it’s all been thrown in the trash by the GOP. WTF??
Yeah unfortunately you're f****** uncle is pushing us towards having our own January 6th moment to take and save our country. Because how else are you going to fight this hostile take over and be successful? Because right now none of the s*** is working.
Maybe we don’t fight it. Let the wheels come off of it, let it crash and burn and then we put it back together. Winston Churchill was right about us. We always do the stupid stuff first and exhaust all of the stupid possibilities, but we eventually figure it out.
You're going to have to fight it sooner or later. And Churchill knew that because that's exactly what Britain had to do. And he was half right because that's the way we used to be but we're not that way anymore thanks to this a****** and the Republican party
We need to be in the streets to fight to keep our democracy, not sitting home worrying about the evil men who are killing it. Lots of protests happened around the world last year, and many were effective. We can save ourselves with action.
Yeah. I'll get out there with my cane and walk down the streets of my 95% red town of 5K carrying a sign that says "Impeach Trump." Let's see how long it takes all 15 Democrats living here to be shot.
I understand. Not everyone can protest in the street, but you can call/email your Senators. And write post cards. His favorability rating has dropped in the last week, bc he's hurting everyone. When enough folks realize what's happening, the collective force will come together & push back.
I have already emailed my senators. I was less than happy when Warnock voted for the Laken Riley act. He seems to be intent on pacification instead of fighting for us.
Warnock voted against the LRA. Ossoff voted for. Warnock voted to let it go to the senate floor for a vote, but voted against it. But yeah, lots of aisle-crossing from the Dems when what we want is for them to oppose and obstruct.
I spent all afternoon on the phones to our senators and slimy Jason Smith. I called every office until I got a live staff member. I’m calling again tomorrow. I am so pissed off. But we must remain calm and ask why they are allowing this Immigrant have access to our SS data?
Nobody here knows we vote blue. We knew what we were getting into when we moved here, but this was where we found a home we could afford. We'd been looking for more than 2 years when we located it. We never planned to move to GA, but here we are.
ORGANIZE SOMETHING MARY!.. posts like this don't HELP anything. Pull the strings of your connections, you have them... WE DON'T. We should be out in the streets.
I have never been so disappointed in the American people.
I think we all have grown a bit soft, taking all our freedoms for granted, taking our government for granted, believing nothing like this could ever happen here.
As with all dictators, it won't be long until there's a hunting party looking for dissidents. Guantanamo Bay will hold more than immigrants. They have taken control of our treasury and that scares the hell out of me.
YES BUT WHERE AND WHO ARE OUR LEADERS? We can’t fight with tiny sticks, one or two of us at a time. We need SERIOUS LEADERSHIP, GUIDANCE, PLANS!
It feels like we are walking into quicksand with Congressional Dems writing letters and having media moments seemingly just going though the motions.
I would love to take more action than just typing posts, but I'm in Florida, which is Trump central. Contacting my reps will do nothing. I have deleted my meta accounts and I was banned from Twitter before Elon bought it.
But I can't boycott Elon's other businesses because I've never been a customer. I can't even organize within my community because it's all Trumpists. So what do I do?
How do we fight? Calling & emailing don't work. State representatives are not representing, they are following. Maybe we flood the big news outlets with calls, since our government is not listening?
We STOP funding them. Stop spending $ at large corporations & corporations that donate to the Repub. Party or have ended DEI. We cancel META accounts and use a VPN or duckduck go so they can't mine our data and profit from it .We support our local community & those who fight for our rights!
This is a choice point for humanity. Do we allow Felon 47 to have his way or stand in our power to unite against a coup? This is no longer about being right or wrong. It's an existential crisis. Everybody needs to play an active part at this point. We came here to do this! United we stand.
Mary, I fully agree that we must fight right now! It's time for "boots on the ground," and you have the megaphone to do it. We need people of action right now. Show us the way.
I was ten when the Vietnam/civil rights protests were going on. It was not Democrats, but young people (primarily). They were fighting government, and to a large extent they were effective. It was sustained, people died, people were committed. I'm not sure Dems will lead today.
Voters inaction is how we got to this place.
90 MILLION eligible voters sat their azzes home and did NOT care to VOTE, while Democrats begged them, knocked on doors, to VOTE in the 2024 Election TO SAVE DEMOCRACY!
I think, primarily, he's trying to raise money. Treasury (where Musk now controls the Govt. payments system) then "invests" in super-tax cuts and mad government contracts. Standby for an announcement that USA will be first on Mars with Spacex and USA has just awarded a $Trillion to Musk to do it
there's so much potential out there and so many people I love and I don't want it all gone. so much science to do and art to make, it's all worth protecting! I do not want to burn it all down so billionaires can make more money that they won't even notice.
Exactly. I could see it coming. I watched it happen. I posted on social media, I wrote my representatives, I looked for groups to support and I kept waiting for our representatives to hold him and the other traitors accountable. Nothing. Charged, arrested, and let go.
The Fight is here.. When he calls for Martial law, our future will be hanging in the balance depending on where the military has their allegiance. Lets not provoke any justification for them to go after civilians. Mass protests must be so immense and peaceful. A general strike? risk/reward.
Fight all you want. tRump and the MAGATS have won. America's jig is up. Fascism is what America wants now. That's what it voted for. Now, reap the rewards suckas. You deserve it America.
Joe Biden didn't fight for us. Most of the Dem House & Senate didn't fight for us (& aren't fighting now). The rich & powerful Dems aren't fighting for us. Every one of them knew what was happening & no one tried to stop it. Now it's up to the people who have very little power, & trump knows it.
In theory, I agree with you, but I truly believe Americans are generally either too lazy, too distracted, or too complacent to do anything that will upset their lives. I think the fight may really start to happen when half the country loses their SS, Medicare, Health Insurance, or even their homes.
I agree, here in Australia the whole country would be on the streets for way less than what the US is going through. Frustrating to watch as he isn't going to stop anytime soon, with immunity, that much is clear.
They are all following the "normal" way thing have been done. Today is NOT normal. We need to appoint an interim leader and have them criss cross the country doing anti-Trump rallies EVERY SINGLE DAY, starting tomorrow.
Boycotts, general strikes and guerrilla art
My idea for wearable protest art (acrylic on canvas, w handles for any scarf) didn't fit Covid isolation. Now, worry is we make ourselves targets, as they prick us into Martial Law.
Question is How?
They hope we flip out, to excuse Martial Law,
. +to id us for punishment.
So, boycotts, guerilla art, mass strikes,
new strategies to hurt their $$$ +expose their facade...
(massive actions with dispersed +incognito targets)
Strongly worded statements, outraged commentary and filing endless lawsuits is not going to get rid of a dictator & his thugs. This country needs to wrap its head around what that will take. Think Mussolini, think Noriega, think Krushchev, think Marcos, think Hussein.
What is the plan?
Who’s taking the lead?
How can volunteers help?
Or should we just build underground bunkers to survive this insanity?
We need a strategic plan of action and mobilization, no?
First we all call and keep calling all of the Senators and Reps don't stop calling. Demand action and if it doesn't happen. Next step is to get into their spaces and faces. If that doesn't work, then I guess the Revolution is on.
Well I have recently bought a pistol and a rifle. When shit hits the fan, I want to be ready. We need a public figure to grow some balls and start this resistance.
There are other weapons you can purchase instead. Eskrima sticks are a good one. They are typically make of bamboo and they don’t take up a lot of space. Baseball bats are a good alternative since you can get them anywhere that sells sporting goods. My eskrima stick stays next to my bed every night.
I don't judge. Shit, I've had a gun held to my head, loaded. But I decided to get 1 after being very tired of the longlasting effects of rape, as well as the stalking so many of us therapists experience. The cops don't do shit, so I married a liberal who's a competitive longe range rifleman. Fuck it
We need an economic boycott, curb discretionary spending. We need someone to organize a mass protest, but who? The women's march in 2017 was organized by 2 unknown women on Facebook.
IF Americans Don’t Fight Back —They’re Accepting Being Bankrupted-Financially, Medically, Constitutionally And Controlled By Sadistic Lawless Fascists! CALL GOP Congress/Senators—ASK WHO THEY REPRESENT/SERVE—BY ALLOWING DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS TO BE CORRUPTED/DISMANTLED/OUR MONEY ILLEGALLY IMPOUNDED
What do you want to fight with? Anything legal requires an intact rule of law and an ethical high court to work, so that’s out. Authoritarian dictators get elected to absolute power, but they don’t leave power by elections, so that’s out. What’s left? That’s what we do.
You’re right. You need a communication infrastructure that is independent from what we use today to make that happen. It’s like the Matrix. We operate within a framework that is wholly controlled by the opposition. The communication network we need doesn’t exist. Cryptography might or a language.
Think USA act local : There are a lot fascist " ProLife" Churches praising the Abuser in Chief in their sermons in you community... Its time to tape the sermons expose the churches and Picket them! see Resistance you can do in your own community ( they could lose tax status)
I see the same message from big accounts with means to organize the masses & all get on the same page. None of them are doing it. So many suggestions, so many different places & dates. Small accounts & ppl w/o means cannot do this. Where’s the direction? Who’s gonna house us when we go to DC?
That MAGA person is lost to you.
They are totally lost.
And they are very happy with the unfolding situation.
No words or action from you will change that.
But challenge them every time.
Price of eggs?
No wars?
Cost of gas?
Don’t wait for an answer just move on.
Every single time.
Resist
I agree. A steady voice of reason before he spreads his usual chaos and continues to dismantle our democratic safeguards. Pete could very well be the counterbalance, the voice of reason we need to spearhead this battle.
Sure. Unfortunately your uncle appointed and the senate confirmed a far right racist Fox News weekend host. Plus 60% of our military voted for uncle D, so I’m not risking my life and hoping the people in the military have a conscience and won’t shoot me.
Where are the Dems?
Americans have to save themselves. Go to your local Government Representative hound them make them work for you and if they don’t show them the door
You are doing nothing, you're like a butterfly in an elephant they don't even notice you. You been brainwashed into thinking money is everything...it's not voices and feet on the ground make a lot more noise...it gets reported..your boycott gets ignored
If we all joined in, this butterfly would become a swarm covering the elephant.
Money is the language these fucks speak, it’s the only thing they care about besides ego and power.
They want us to march to declare martial law. Starve them of their mone, stage a national walkout.
I agree,
If everyone stayed home and spent no money for 1 day. We would get their attention! They would at least see our worth. They need us!! Everyone is important!
GET NAZI INCEL BUCKTOOTH HITLER OUT OF THE TREASURY NOW DOUBLE QUICK OR ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IS ANYONE ALIVE?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? AM I THE ONLY ONE ALIVE?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????/// HELLO??????????????????????
The thing I learnt these past four years is the truth that there are conservatives on both the left and the right and we agree on what is dear to us. That is worth fighting for.
Definetly!! Elon and the Russians. There are articles in the news about patterns of voting here that are the same as what they found in Romania. Lots of bullet ballets in all the swing states. They’ve been planning this for a long time. Trump keeps confessing on tv ffs! It was a coup not an election
Yes. Totally agree with that. And I don’t believe 10 million democrats who voted in the last election sat this one out when so much was at stake. It’s just not possible. I think they hacked the voting machines and they flipped votes for Harris over to trump.
Of course they did! You can see how easy it was for Elon,s Ewacks to hack Treasury with just a few clicks with their grimy little fingers. The coup is complete. They can now threaten any one of us. We are prisoners of our SS#s.
I agree. Unfortunately, Congress people are the only ones who can stop him and they aren't stepping up and calling out all his illegal moves. The purse strings are supposed to be Congress only. Elon and his bunch don't belong in out government computers. Congress is just sitting and watching.
not sure how they can do this, but I’m sure there’s a way within the law. And yes, must needs to be arrested because he is interfering in our government. I was kind of hoping you would arrest him and freeze his assets because he’s interfering in their elections as well.
In the real world, he would be impeached. But here in the Upside Down, they do not yet have the votes to even get it to the House floor. It’s going to take him doing something really egregious (in GOP’s eyes) for this to happen.
Maybe when millions and millions of people don’t get their Social Security checks or their PBGC payments this month or next, that’ll be enough for the Republicans to get behind the Democrats and get him outta here and then they can go after musk.
I think it’s got to hit the MAGATs hard on the pocketbooks. In the meantime, I’m all for a well organized, planned out, general strike. I like the Strike Card initiative for workers, for one. Wait till you KNOW we have enough people committed to make an impact, then flip the switch.
I do to. They admitted it. It was when he one the popular vote that I knew they had stolen it. And because they called it stolen in 2020- they expected us to keep our mouth shut. Most did & those of us who didn’t got told “we sound like them” that was their strategy and it worked
Maybe a week long nationwide strike. Maybe we need to start a revolution. Maybe we need to actually get out there and fight. There’s nothing making a phone call can accomplish.
Definitely at least a week, of No One going to work or spending any money.
The people have been successful at a strike country wide twice in the past 100ish years.
We Can Do This
A phone call takes a few minutes and has no downsides, unlike everything else you’ve mentioned. It should be at the top of your list not off your list.
Calling them isn't going to do much of anything. They all know the world is watching and they can't do much with a Republican majority. No matter what, Republicans will not allow impeachment, SCOTUS is treasonous with Trump, all the rest are traitors. Military is too chicken to stop the coup.
They know. Either they are cowards or there is something in it for them to comply ($?).Truly unbelievable that in the “best country on earth” that is allegedly full of “brave patriots” there is not one who is willing to stand up to the destruction of your country or for your children. 🥲
Join a local group that supports and protects targets such as immigrants, POC, LGBTQ+ people, and women. Run for local office. Prepare and research security, self defence and tactics for demonstrations and to aid victims of rw street violence. The time for direct action has arrived.
Call today
Call tomorrow

Make @ least 2 calls a day + some social feed.
Be relentless, zoom some others & make it a party.
Who can Piss off the GOP more today. Give the days winner a prize
Get busy & be heard! There is just us now
Get theF#€k out there & do something
Why come on here to crap on what others are doing? Phone calls are easy and senator's aides tell us they're effective. No one's forcing you to do anything, it's one of a few tools we have.
I’m not trying to belittle what you’re doing. This other person started arguing with me. I think it’s fine if you want to make calls. I just wanted to point out we need to get on the streets and protest also. Like especially after the last 12 days we’ve been thru
I hope you don’t think I’m’crapping’ on what people are doing.
Phone calls are easy, so if you’re not able to do more, @ least make some calls.
The staff are going to blow you off. But if 50 other people called with similar focused complaints, day after day, they can’t blow you all off!
I’m just saying we need to go out on the streets and protest also. We need to fight this by showing up. Or maybe going on a nationwide strike. Especially after the last 12 days.
I happen to agree with you! He should have and could have been stopped… but this is where we are.
I say BOYCOTTS
Ppl can download the app Goods Unite Us
Lists businesses, corporations etc political affiliation and their donations 💙🌊😉
It’s a useful tool.
I am not sure I agree at this point. About half of the country is part of your uncle’s cult and nothing short of a complete and total failure of the country and subsequent rebuild will fix it.
📎
First, find the accurate information resources. 🍊tgf and his team have been super good at being deceptive - the choice of words, the way they say ... let's refuse to swallow what #Media spread. They heavily depend on #Media. We get back up🔥together.
I'll be in the first group off to the showers. But I would be a little disappointed if they don't come sooner. (if it comes to that.) I hoped to Nazi it coming
Absolutely, Hitler also wasn't in early-mid stage dementia (give it a name) and was organized. This time Fanta fascist has more organised idiots but how effective they are or what they accomplish depends on the senate. After the SoD went through
We're well on our way to complete and total failure presently. Resist and hang together so we can rebuild after the crash. Two crashes this week and that doesn't even include the market.
The media has caved in to the Mango Mussolini, Democratic Party in shambles, average morons in Dumfukistan are now realizing they were played, the Oligarchs are salivating. Reminding me of French history. We even have our own Marie Antoinette in Malaria
100%, I'm starting to wonder what WOULD make people get out on the streets if all of this doesn't. You want your freedom? Go & fight like hell for it!!
People are offended by my words, my caps, telling them to get off their asses when all I'm trying to do is set a fire under their asses to move them. But I guess it's too much.
I guess Trump will have to show his next move.
Somalia got bombed today.
Let's see what's next, if that moves them
Yeah, it's frustrating watching people say they will "wait it out" like he's going to stop anytime soon. I personally would go down fighting rather than go down complaining from my couch. They want a leader when they can lead themselves I'm sheer numbers. Frustrating AF.
I'm a Latina-Canadian, waiting for you to get off your ass to stop the economic collapse that's gonna happen.
When Canada is in peril, I'm on the street. Since we have to wait until you all get off your asses, we are forced to wait on you.
We need those with large platforms such as yourself to join with others with large platforms and help to
Organize a huge federal rally. Not sure the state rallies will have much impact- better than nothing but-
And the last time I checked...AMERICANS...aren't use to people taking ANYTHING from us and IF they did we put up a HELL OF A FIGHT!!! WE DON'T BREAK EASILY!!!
SO MANY reasons to fight.
To fight for DEMOCRACY.
To fight for decency and responsible leadership.
To fight for all of us.
To fight for everyone on Flight 5342. https://www.facebook.com/reel/917933490438516
Not a single soul in DC is willing to stand-up to to this nightmare. They're afraid very afraid. They shouldn't be but here we are suffering and not even 3 weeks never mind what's going to happen for the next 4. I hope he dies in his first term.
Republicans are in the majority. They will not stand up to him. They will burn the country down. He has shut down or fired the Inspector Generals and firing the FBI on Monday. Who do you propose to after him?
We need to make a statement with massive protests in Washington that number in the millions. This is it America. They are trying to grab power for good with these illegal firings. That needs to get into the courts while we remind Republicans in DC to do the right thing.
1933-1945
This is how
They pretended nothing was wrong
They went to his rallies and cheered him on
Lured by his lies
They went into
Neighbors' homes left empty,
And coveted what was left
They watched
Slaves build
Malls
to adore him
then
They ignored and lived with the smell of the Crematoriums.
Well then. Do nothing and see how that works out for you. How badly do you want your freedom? If you want it badly enough, you’ll figure out what to do.
with that simple question you show you prefer to accept what's happening rather than go out and fight, you want details before action guess what love, it don't work that way, get off your backside, off your keyboard and do something..I'm in the UK, protesting takes feet on the streets
So glad 2 see you here Mary. I for one have missed you. I'm sure I am not alone. So much & more to fight for. How did we get here when there was so much info available. I guess deplorables don't or can't read & worse yet refuse to. If you can't afford real Maple Syrup let me know. I got your back.
Irene Haes Help! Please report this page! They are abusing people with disabilities via cyber bullying and harassment by doxing them.
They asked me for help.
With Trump’s national trifecta, state Dems are our last line of defense.
Governors, state senators & reps block extremist laws & protect rights. Volunteer, donate, VOTE in every state race.
The fight is local!
#WealthGap #WorkersRights #LivingWageNow #AffordableHousingForAll https://dlcc.org/for-voters/
Are you fighting to protect women and girls from men sharing their bathrooms and locker rooms? Why are men getting nominated for woman of the year and actually winning that title? DO BIOLOGICAL MEN MAKE BETTER WOMEN THAN BIOLOGICAL WOMEN. Stand up for women.
I respect you Mary and agree that we can't stop fighting. It would help considerably, however, if we saw results of even a few efforts. Nobody in jail for Jan 6, fraud, document stealing, sexual assaults, inciting violence, etc., makes it especially difficult for me. Will I get past it??
You can't do anything unless the Governor's call out the national guard to remove them from power. Otherwise, we are doing illegal crap and the police don't give a shit.
We have to continue to FIGHT!! Democrats in Congress STOP BEING NICE and FIGHT DIRTY. The rules have been tossed out the window. You have played nice and it hasn’t gotten us ahead of the Fascists.
🚩🚩🚩
Steve Bannon said in 2019 the tactic to SWAMP the MEDIA, it's what Trump is doing now: He's trying to overwhelm you. It's all according to plan. 🚩🚩🚩 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8QLgLfqh6s
Could not say this better. Soft and stupid and spoiled. Some of us are smart enough to see and know our good fortune-most don’t and simply think they are entitled to it. Time to work for it.
Donald Trump has officially declared through an executive order that everyone on Earth is transgender. He signed an executive order stating that sex is determined at conception. HOWEVER, every person on Earth develops sex at about one month AFTER conception. We ALL change gender at one month.
For everyone asking how.... have you all come to the point yet in realizing that doing this peacefully will not work? An oppressor has NEVER given up power that way. It has ALWAYS required bloodshed. My question is, when are you going to be mad enough to get your hands dirty? The Sooner the better!
I don't know.... But what I do know is.... As a black American, we know even Harriet Tubman had to sacrifice those who wanted to stay enslaved. And she never hesitated to pump two in the chest of anyone who tried to stop her. Until it gets to that point, this will remain a living hell.
I feel you and love harriet, but she kept a shotgun as a protection and a threat. No record of her ever pumping two in anyone's chest with no hesitation. I'm not saying she wasn't THE most badass. But it's important to be true to her life and legacy and not make stuff up.
This is the exact situation the Second Amendment was meant for. Get up off your asses people! Your White House has been hijacked. NO ONE VOTED FOR MUSK! WHO IS THIS GUY AND WHY IS HE THERE?
I prefer the word oppose - with any power at ones disposal. Engage in well organised and co-ordinated non-violent protests. Thank for all you do Mary, the world is watching and listening.
HOW was he convinced by altering our society & trashing our government would inspire ADORATION from the citizens? A lack of morals & integrity is ATROCIOUS. Someone contain him! As predicted 😏
Diaper Don WILL invoke the Insurrection Act at the first sign of mass violent (or peaceful, for that matter) protest. Inevitably, American troops will be killing American citizens. It will devolve radically from there.
We don’t have a choice but it’s absolutely FUCKING DEPRAVED that we HAVE TO. I want to have a nice life with my family and make my meager earnings and live freely. It is extremely apparent that the constitution is NULL and VOID. We don’t have protection. We are totally betrayed. I grieve for all.
https://Indivisible.org is a great place to start resisting. Donald Trump might be president, but it's the people behind him who are pulling the strings and, frankly, they're not very smart.
But we need leaders. Congress is not doing it. Can someone please call Obama, Clinton, Biden, even Bush would give bipartisan credibility. If someone doesn’t do something, musky will have a successful takeover in just a few days
They need to be on the steps of the Capitol, surrounded by cameras. Stand up for us! We need a show of unity, not a bunch of hand-wringing behind closed doors. They should be organizing protests within their own districts. There are plenty of us who would help. We need some f-ing leaders!
We need to get past the old guard, they tried. Someone from the outside. We need to be energized again. Where is our hero? Do they not make them anymore?
There are heroes. We're going to need to get behind them. I just don't see who they are right now, but I'd put MSNBC journalists right up there. They're keeping us informed. But we also need politicians. Obama would be obvious.
I’m not talking about DOJ lawyers. I’m talking about private lawyers who have standing to practice in federal court. We have a few of those who can file on behalf of a number of plaintiffs - including Democratic lawmakers.
I think there need to be large protests in major US cities. I would stay away from Washington because Trump is looking for an excuse to send the military out to kill people.
There are two things I can do:
1. Vote
2. Write my Senators and Congress person. And I write often, only on one subject at a time, brief reasoning, and my end point. Never more than 2 paragraphs.
It is a weekday thing so probably won't work for you unless you are close to your capital and can make a lunch break appearance. Spreading the word helps.
You can always put up a post in support if you can’t make it. I’m from Oz & we do this all the time as distances to travel are huge. We also encourage towns and smaller communities to have their own marches. Every single who joins in makes a difference. Love and support.
It is for all State Capitols. People on Reddit and social media are communicating with others in their State and seem to be on a noon-4/5 time period. It's basically go to your State Capitol. Google 2/5/25 protest
Support term limits and ranked choice voting. There are orgnizations in every state working to empty the congressional retirement home and put people in office who will actually bring ideas and energy instead of seat warmers.
How exactly? Long term pols have time to get corrupted and build relationships with lobbyists and big business. New people will be too busy, and might be replaced in 1, definitely 2 terms, so the lobbyists will have to work harder.
Term Limits and RCV blunt the influence of special interests.
But what would be the incentive to give a job to someone with 1 term? Furthermore, they would have fewer protections if they did something that broke the rules.
Also, much easier to raise limits to working for lobbying firms if you haven't been taking their money all along.
Who is easier to corrupt, someone in office for 30 years who needs your money to get re-elected while doing nothing, or someone from a field of 20 candidates who only has 2 terms to make an impact?
I don't know how to fight a system that basically owns me. Where to start? My local representatives don't care, if they do have power to make changes. Ideas? I usually do this by voting, which seems like it won't be happening ever again. Not by us. 😣
How do we fight? Calls don’t matter, marching doesn’t matter, and votes don’t seem to matter. I really think the best bet is just to support your local community.
His parents are Canadian. They moved to South Africa because there was a big nazi, pro Hitler movement there (gee, I can't understand why *that* would be.) So it's possible their children would be considered Canadian as well, depending on how citizenship works in CA.
Watching people whose rights I fought to protect turnaround and vote for him has dampened my fire. I confess to wondering if I belong in the fight if these voters don't care about their own self interest. Forgive me, I hope this is just the winter talking.
Lindsay, we cannot stop. We cannot rest. We cannot stop caring about democracy. We can’t let our kids down. We MUST continue to fight! Take a breather, reflect, and let’s get back at it.
Heard. I marched every march during the first Trump term. I made signs- even small ones, easier for my kids to carry. I amplified every needed but ignored voice on socials. Built and supported community. In the end, I did nothing to change the minds of my own demographic: white gen x women.
Don’t think that way Lindsay. You sound pretty incredible and determined. Even if you changed 1 mind you succeeded. It’s going to seem like an infinite amount of time until 2028, but the day will come and I do think people will wake up…hopefully. We keep marching!
I keep asking 'how' do we fight. In my opinion we need patriotic current, retired, and fired CIA, FBI, military and police to form a plan and enlist citizens. Don’t know what I could do, but am willing to do everything in my power.
Humiliation. I wish reporters would ask him “what does EM think?”
“Is EM ok with what you are doing?” “Did EM agree to this/that?” By doing this, we get rid on one, then we work on him.
Here is a link if you want to contact the Attorney General in your State and ask them to take legal action against Donald Trump and Elon Musk. https://www.naag.org/find-my-ag/
Is it bad that I’m afraid to enter all my information in, in regard to contacting them in fear they will come take me away? Fml! Perhaps I’ll call Monday morning!
You can identify yourself as an independent voter, or undeclared, if you are afraid to identify yourself when calling your representatives. The people have the power. We need the REPUBLICANS to fear the undeclared voters, who, also have the power to take Republicans out of office in the midterms.
The answer is before you, Trump supporters. When it comes down to it. When it comes down to a Civil War. Could you honestly, seriously, look down the barrel of your rifle and shoot one of your own family members because they're Liberal, BLM, or antifa? Could you really pull the trigger?
In a Red state, if you must, say you are an INDEPENDENT VOTER, UNDECLARED and you are fucking pissed what Elon Musk and DJT are doing. Tell the Republican representatives you are voting them out in the midterms.
It’s the Department of Justice in every state. That is a list of the name of each Attorney General. If you haven’t worked in the legal field it can be confusing for people.
sitting safe and warm at home banging away at their keyboards moaning, I'm an old man in the UK in the 80s I was on the streets protesting all sorts....people in Serbia are protesting now they didn't ask who's leading they got off their butts and did it

What if the overall problem is that there are too many assholes, that there's a prevailing culture of narcissism, sociopathy, individualism, bigotry, what then?

ORGANIZE SOMETHING MARY!.. posts like this don't HELP anything. Pull the strings of your connections, you have them... WE DON'T. We should be out in the streets.
The USA for starters
That said, let’s define “fight”
I think we all have grown a bit soft, taking all our freedoms for granted, taking our government for granted, believing nothing like this could ever happen here.
Well, guess what folks?
'When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."
It feels like we are walking into quicksand with Congressional Dems writing letters and having media moments seemingly just going though the motions.

90 MILLION eligible voters sat their azzes home and did NOT care to VOTE, while Democrats begged them, knocked on doors, to VOTE in the 2024 Election TO SAVE DEMOCRACY!
In 2 weeks the King of the Gold Crapper has destroyed the government
Buy all things from blue states- ex-CA wine instead of beer, liquor.
Buy from Dollar Store, Costco, Albertsons...
Buying Etsy? Look where they live first.
Buy as much as you can from Mexico and Canada.
Plant a victory garden.
Other ideas?
Cool yeah none of us are deserve a future
/sarcasm
Do you have another suggestion to fight the current Trump agenda?
All I have is the power of my purse. Elected Dems are quiet. I can't storm Normandy.
I said artisans and makers as well because we don’t all make useless, beautiful things. We just aren’t all on Amazon.
With an administration that is likely to punish artists for dissent I would rethink this perspective cause it lacks compassion.
TwoGoals:
1 Tax cuts for billionaires.
2 Contracts for billionaires.
Tariff cash will go to US Treasury and be used to give tax cuts to the wealthy & SpaceX's Mars budget.
#MusBezZuc have as much cash as 50% of rest of USA.
Let's help Canada and Mexico.

Someone with a particular skillset.
And I don't mean someone who can type on a keyboard.
That's what got us here today. Too many people letting someone else do the work.
Why don't the Dem politicians fight? Because they don't want to risk the jobs WE keep giving them for nothing.
Joe Strummer
Term limits, Ranked Choice Voting and primaries for all incumbents.
Survival of the best, instead of survival of the oldest.
Politicians have their own version of "I got mine, F off poors."
My idea for wearable protest art (acrylic on canvas, w handles for any scarf) didn't fit Covid isolation. Now, worry is we make ourselves targets, as they prick us into Martial Law.
They hope we flip out, to excuse Martial Law,
. +to id us for punishment.
So, boycotts, guerilla art, mass strikes,
new strategies to hurt their $$$ +expose their facade...
(massive actions with dispersed +incognito targets)
Who’s taking the lead?
How can volunteers help?
Or should we just build underground bunkers to survive this insanity?
We need a strategic plan of action and mobilization, no?
Thoughts 💭 anyone?
Contact the Unions, Civil organizations, Colleges and set a day of massive protest.
Be the Brave and Free you always were.

I'll show up with my mom's broccoli cheese casserole so we don't have to march on an empty stomach. Let's do this!!!

The mistake has always been expecting someone else to save us.
They are totally lost.
And they are very happy with the unfolding situation.
No words or action from you will change that.
But challenge them every time.
Price of eggs?
No wars?
Cost of gas?
Don’t wait for an answer just move on.
Every single time.
Resist

Anything else is pure defeat fuel.
Really not easy either though.
Americans have to save themselves. Go to your local Government Representative hound them make them work for you and if they don’t show them the door
Money is the language these fucks speak, it’s the only thing they care about besides ego and power.
They want us to march to declare martial law. Starve them of their mone, stage a national walkout.
If everyone stayed home and spent no money for 1 day. We would get their attention! They would at least see our worth. They need us!! Everyone is important!

🤦♀️
The people have been successful at a strike country wide twice in the past 100ish years.
We Can Do This
Call tomorrow
Call the next
Make @ least 2 calls a day + some social feed.
Be relentless, zoom some others & make it a party.
Who can Piss off the GOP more today. Give the days winner a prize
Get busy & be heard! There is just us now
Get theF#€k out there & do something
Phone calls are easy, so if you’re not able to do more, @ least make some calls.
The staff are going to blow you off. But if 50 other people called with similar focused complaints, day after day, they can’t blow you all off!
Democracy is not an Entitlement.
Democracy is a constant struggle, but it’s worth it
I say BOYCOTTS
Ppl can download the app Goods Unite Us
Lists businesses, corporations etc political affiliation and their donations 💙🌊😉
It’s a useful tool.
First, find the accurate information resources. 🍊tgf and his team have been super good at being deceptive - the choice of words, the way they say ... let's refuse to swallow what #Media spread. They heavily depend on #Media. We get back up🔥together.
Pain is coming one way or another.
How do you want to endure?
Only half the population voted. He didn't get half of that.
His coalition of minorities and low income voters is falling apart.

That's what I've been saying.
Let it burn to the ground so we can start to rebuild.
You earned a follow
But people quickly went back to doing what they were doing in 2020, and now we see what happens when we expect other people to fix our problem.
Support term limits, ranked choice voting and primary every single incumbent.
The people were out in the streets.
EVEN PALESTINE HAS MORE COURAGE THAN YOU COWARDS, sitting here hiding in bluesky , as if Trump gives a shit
Wake the fuck up!! YOU NEED TO PROTEST IN THE STREETS NOT IN BLUESKY OR TWITTER OR TIKTOK OR FACEBOOK, OR WHAT EVER.
GET OUT INTO THE FUCKING STREETS!!
I guess Trump will have to show his next move.
Somalia got bombed today.
Let's see what's next, if that moves them
You're like an addict. I can't help you until you help yourself.
When Canada is in peril, I'm on the street. Since we have to wait until you all get off your asses, we are forced to wait on you.
Organize a huge federal rally. Not sure the state rallies will have much impact- better than nothing but-
We will fight. We'll do it for the kids and grand kids.
And may God have mercy on us all...😔
To fight for DEMOCRACY.
To fight for decency and responsible leadership.
To fight for all of us.
To fight for everyone on Flight 5342.

For a while.
This is how
They pretended nothing was wrong
They went to his rallies and cheered him on
Lured by his lies
They went into
Neighbors' homes left empty,
And coveted what was left
They watched
Slaves build
Malls
to adore him
then
They ignored and lived with the smell of the Crematoriums.

Treating politics like a sports game.
Well, now you are going to have to get off your asses and FIGHT for what you've always taken for granted.
... and if there IS a next time, VOTE.
Steve Bannon said in 2019 the tactic to SWAMP the MEDIA, it's what Trump is doing now: He's trying to overwhelm you. It's all according to plan. 🚩🚩🚩

Let the American Spring begin.

Diaper Don WILL invoke the Insurrection Act at the first sign of mass violent (or peaceful, for that matter) protest. Inevitably, American troops will be killing American citizens. It will devolve radically from there.
But . . . .
We can beat them. We must prevail.
Sometimes retreat is a valid option, not always, but it's wise to consider it, and do so on a person-by-person basis.
Some people cannot fight, or risk fighting.
1. Vote
2. Write my Senators and Congress person. And I write often, only on one subject at a time, brief reasoning, and my end point. Never more than 2 paragraphs.
Term Limits and RCV blunt the influence of special interests.
There's also a learning curve. Short-term pols don't have the time to build up expertise of their own.
Term limits create more "lame ducks". Generally ineffective.
Also, much easier to raise limits to working for lobbying firms if you haven't been taking their money all along.
People can learn.

I started a petition to have Elon Musk's Canadian citizenship removed and declare him a threat. FFS Trump is also a threat.
The whole globe should do that with Musk.

Let's get moving, Canada! Small steps can still have an impact!
“Is EM ok with what you are doing?” “Did EM agree to this/that?” By doing this, we get rid on one, then we work on him.
