I’m reposting this reminder of history & everything that led up to it. It’ll be repetitive & exhausting for all of us BUT…

Remember when we used to kill Nazi’s? I think about that everyday now. For those that made it to trial, we hanged them & cremated them.

We killed them

We

Killed

Nazis

Fascism is a master of seduction,holding up a mirror that flatters it's audience while slipping a knife into the fabric of democracy. Trump followers are willing soldiers in this crusade of "us vs. them". But in the end- the very ones who cheer the loudest may end up becoming the "them" themselves!

Meanwhile on Earth 2: President Harris was forced to resign today after failing for a 10th day to adequately explain to the Washington press corps her decision to buy mint green curtains for the Oval Office.

Have you heard the one about the con artists who walk into an Oval Office…

Republicans are Trump accomplices. They are all in this together. Remember.

Republicans approve of this Coup.

Goodbye America!

Scary- how do we fight back?

jafkettani.bsky.social•7 days ago

Are there any radical new setups that the resistance needs to take in the face of authoritarianism that is now collecting all data on all citizens with nefarious goals. Can we still be online and fight or there is no more some safe battle space ?

By the way, Donald, there’s no fucking way Elon’s wearing a MAGA hat ever again.

Oh, that shit is growing.

It was nice of Musk to let Trump sit in his presidential briefing, letting him babysit his little kid.

Trying to show Trump's human side.

DOGE is NOT a real gov't dep't. It is NOT about efficiency. It works with Trump to WRECK our system & replace it with a greedy oligarchy that does NOT answer to the American people.

THIS IS A COUP!

>>> DENY Trump his dictatorship!!

Resist NOW!

If you want democracy and protect it Fokking get out and PROTEST.
Freedom is more easily lost than won.
Democracy did not come into existence with peaceful demonstrations.
Civil disobedience, Civil war.
Europe has seen many episodes to install and protect democracy.
Repost and spread the word.

"As of November 2024, the user base of X (formerly known as Twitter) has become more politically balanced. A Pew Research Center survey reported that 48% of X users identify as Democrats, while 47% identify as Republicans." per Chatgpt. Imagine the impact if Democrats stopped paying for X.

How unfortunate and so sad. As bad as things have been, they appear to be getting worse. Keep making a difference Mehdi. Your voice is so important!

Elon Musk is the Nick Cannon of the white nationalist government.

kraigpeck.bsky.social•7 days ago

If you are fired, don’t leave. If asked to do something unlawful, refuse. Don’t resign. Sit down with your co-workers. Call the media. Call your friends & ask them to protest outside. There is no honor in leaving or resigning. Don’t make it easy for them. There is honor in fighting back.

Thanks for your help with all of this. Adding you to the blame list.

If Trump/Musk plan is to get rid of gov waste why did they fired 17 Inspector Generals (who last yr alone saved US $93 billion caused by waste/fraud/abuse) Trump/Musk anti-American agenda includes firing Traffic Controllers/Food&Drug Inspectors/FBI agents/other necessary workers - to destroy US Gov!
