We need to save ourselves.

Lot of us were born into shit like this. No civil rights protections, no EPA, no Education, DoJ run by criminals, FBI assassinating opponents, imperialist militarism, rogue presidencies, rampant corruption. We were able to push back the dark and find some light, for a while at least. We will again.

How did you do it, Kurt? What should we be doing differently?

flglchicago.bsky.social•10 days ago

Millions in the streets. Constant loud impolite pressure on all politicians. Incessant ridicule of the villains. Great music.

lacentrist.bsky.social•10 days ago

Let’s get going then.

When you do go, take a few things seriously: read the ACLU's guides on your rights during protests; read the EFF's guides on your digital rights and how to lock yourselves down; and read the many guides available on what to bring to a protest, what to leave behind, and how to protect yourself.

Thank you for the advice. That’s very helpful.

Absolutely the most unethical and corrupt in history! We’ll be lucky to still have our country and government when this is over 😭

What’re you suggesting, Maggie?

lacentrist.bsky.social•11 days ago

Keep the pressure on the administration through all means possible. Senate, congress and the judiciary. If you have a legitimate reason to sue the government, which you might, then make sure you are in one of those class actions. The only thing left after this is to rise up like the French.

The balkanization of the US, this administration is obviously targeting blue states by with holding federal money, but what happens when blue states say enough and stop sending state revenue and resources to the Feds?

Then everyone suffers. This is not the flex that trump thinks it has. He’s all about leverage and knows nothing.

3.5% about 12M ppl of the population practicing long term civil disobedience can topple Authoritarian Regimes. French farmers clogged up the city with tractors and flung manure. Truckers shut down Ottawa for a month over covid. If the Teamsters would shut UPS down for 72 hours ppl would notice.

The only good billionaires are fictional

lacentrist.bsky.social•11 days ago

Nothing good about them, right?

thenicabides.bsky.social•11 days ago

Nothing good about real life billionaires

maxphantasmart.bsky.social•11 days ago

So you’re telling me you have over 700 billionaires in America….and NOT ONE has invested in an Iron Man suit or a fucking Batmobile so they can save humanity?

What planet am I even living on??!!!

Bruce Willis is out of commission.

You're absolutely correct! 👍

James Buchanan has been rolling over in his grave the past 23 days with pure, unadulterated glee.

🤬

fedoraexplorer.bsky.social•11 days ago

We know what theyre doing is unlawful. THEY know it. The courts know. Congress knows Everyone knows.

Knowing isnt enough this time, so what the fuck are we going to actually DO about it?

Resist. Dont comply. Be vigilant, stay diligent. Write/call your reps. Be loud. Dont stop. Dont acquiesce.

lacentrist.bsky.social•11 days ago

I will continue to speak out, never capitulate and never give up.

Couldn’t agree more! After decades - and generations - of miseducation, critical thinking is nearly extinct! Siri, how do we save our country from being totally f**ked?

lacentrist.bsky.social•11 days ago

It flat out scares me. I’m too old for this shit

lacentrist.bsky.social•10 days ago

It’s frightening.

acoto5252.bsky.social•10 days ago

To save ourselves would be a miracle It’s too far gone at this point No turning back

I watched the news conference and still know nothing about what Musk found that was so bad . This is all smoke and mirrors!

lacentrist.bsky.social•11 days ago

They aren’t finding fraud or waste. This is reconnaissance for how to rip off the American people. It’s also so Musk can see into his competitors. The conflict of interest is astounding.

They didn’t round up any illegal immigrant criminals either.

It’s a clown show, but a dangerous game.

crystalballer83.bsky.social•11 days ago

We really do. And we can never make these mistakes again.
