We are massing on the National Mall until the orange is tossed to the curb. Come join us. Looking for 500,000 people to defend the Constitution. In person. In the Mall. We maintain a presence until he is gone.

And *thank you,* @itsafronomics.bsky.social, for putting this together for all of us who are a little short on hope. It’s easy to overlook the victories that are adding up every day when there’s so much shit coming from the spigot.

gnomester.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thank you for this thread. I needed a reminder that in spite of the shit show, there are positive signs.

@aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov are on a nationwide tour called "Fight the Oligarchy" and people are showing up in DROVES.

We're talking Obama '08 numbers.

NEARLY EVERY SINGLE CYBERTRUCK GOT RECALLED THIS WEEK. The ugliest thing also happens to be useless.

Like the CEO. 😂

A new book about how expensive it is to be a woman in America and what we ought to about it is starting to make serious waves. 👀

And I happen to be the author of said book haha, pre-order here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/734115/the-double-tax-by-anna-gifty-opoku-agyeman/ #TheDoubleTax #booksky #librarysky

Very excited about this.

itsafronomics.bsky.social•5 days ago

Tim Walz is hearing from all of Middle America and making a VERY good case for why elected leaders who care about people should be in positions of power.

Oh, did I mention Walz's town halls are PACKED?

Harris as POTUS with him as VP would have been very good for America.

peterverpoorten.bsky.social•5 days ago

If we can get Tim Walz instead of Gavin Newsom in 2028, we can cautiously wondet whether we have left the shittiest timeline.

#TeslaTakedown protests are growing in number and size GLOBALLY and a certain Apartheid apologist is beginning to feel the pressure substantially.

Join a protest here: https://www.teslatakedown.com/

"Tesla just makes (overpriced) electric cars (with poor fit and finish and that fall apart when they're on the road)."

I can only hear his posts in his whiny wimpy voice now. I hope he just breaks and starts going apeshit right into 5152 from Van Nuys Blvd Auntie Anne's.

If you do choose to protest in person, Alison Gary has some of the best, most useful, practical, real-world advice that you'll ever get:

Elon calling it "violence" is laughable. It's property damage. The term violence should be reserved for harm against living things

itsafronomics.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh, speaking of Tesla. The stock is in FREE FALL. 🙂

And I believe it can lose even MORE VALUE but look at that drop within just the past month. People don't like oligarchs.

It’s not the point but I’m also glad about this just for purely aesthetic reasons!

anarchymarshmallow.bsky.social•5 days ago

It's almost like people still want that change

imdaviddunn.bsky.social•5 days ago

Think they need to dumb down the word a bit. Oligarchy isn’t emotive enough.

Robber Barrons, Fat Cats, words used in the path that stuck, not just the official words.

shermandorn.com•5 days ago

It's so unemotive thousands of people are showing up to rallies? I think it's fine.

imdaviddunn.bsky.social•5 days ago

Pretty sure the goal is to get people not at the rallies engaged.

My point is about all Dems, not those two who are actually doing something.

imagefeeder.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thank you. 💙And now we keep going.

denised58.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thank you!! I really appreciate your optimism. Focusing on the positive moves in combating this horrible presidency really helps.

Love, love, love this entire thread, thank you so much for putting this all together!

shenanigan-v.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s happening everywhere but in Washington DC

grsmn.bsky.social•5 days ago

Not sure exactly what Steven intends that sign to mean..

shenanigan-v.bsky.social•5 days ago

Except Rep. Al Green and those who walked out, Democrats were SILENT at the State of the Union address, opting for signs over actions. The silence was deafening

itsafronomics.bsky.social•5 days ago

What's the point of bringing this negativity to a post EXCLUSIVELY about positivity?

grsmn.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh you're talking to me.

Ok, will explain. I didnt see that Colbert and "Try doing something" could be snark or could be sincere. Totally different meanings, one positive snd one negative and i wasnt sure which.

Sorry you interpreted me as being negative..

Never mind

grsmn.bsky.social•4 days ago

Is it negative?

I don't know for sure, because silent protest is legitimate.. and under some circumstances more powerful then the noisy kind

itsafronomics.bsky.social•5 days ago

lol this isn't true. Helllllla protests taking place in DC daily.

shenanigan-v.bsky.social•5 days ago

I should have specified Congress, sorry. Yes, the People are rising to the occasion. Comedians and cartoonists are doing the job of journalists

But, Dems can’t allow funding and support for Project 2025 or repealing free speech. They’re about to hand MAGA a censorship machine. We need leaders in DC
