Reposted from American Fietser

Both domestic and international news outlets are not telling you about the American pushback.

For example, did you hear about the 15k people who just came to the "Fight Oligarchy and Authoritarianism" rally with Bernie and AOC in Arizona?

Unheard of outside of campaign seasons.

As much as it's appreciated, the US is too far gone. There's no chance of the US having our trust any time soon.

We gave you a pass in 2016. Then y’all gave him the popular vote in 2024. We’ll not be back. Not for your MIC or your brands. #elbowsup indeed.

Thank you for sharing this. I've been fairly blunt with Americans who day 'don't blame me' I did vote for him, but these kind of posts are important. My feed is full of tariff talk so it's good to see what's happening behind your borders.

Wow! ❤️❤️🇨🇦❤️❤️

ms2jla1.bsky.social•3 days ago

We see you!! I blame Trump voters and non-voters, but not those of who who worked and are working to try to save your country ❤️

There is no directed anger from Canadians to regular Americans, but rather the system that is permitting the unhinged attacks on another sovereign nation, Your Democrats need to start paying attention en masse, as should Republicans who are not part of the cult.

dufc1976.bsky.social•3 days ago

We know the American people are fighting. We have to look after ourselves now. Even if you win the next election who’s to say that 4 years from then we don’t get Donald 2 ? The States needs a nationwide soul searching. Once you’ve found yourselves again we might go for a beer. Good luck 🤞🏻

bornat3b.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly.

I do think we have been spurred to do something we should have never lost sight of - and I mean on both sides of the border.

Good luck!

langlaise.bsky.social•14 hours ago

We see and hear you, but trump still won the election. Now, 🇨🇦 and countries around the world have lost their trust in 🇺🇸. We’re not giving up, but we know the trump regime is only going to get worse.

Cheering for you & our sane American neighbours who are fighting the good fight. Grass roots movements gather steam quickly and can create solid change. Stay strong, be loud and then be louder!!! We believe in you🇺🇸🇨🇦

stasherbc.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank-you for sharing Sarah ! Much appreciated and we are grateful to see the power rising up against the authoritarianism.

mummypriest.bsky.social•3 days ago

We appreciate you. And you have to keep going. You need to be at 50 and 100k soon. So much ground has been lost.

There is something seriously wrong with the mainstream media in the US in that they seem to be spending a lot more time making jokes about the 51st state than covering the perspectives of the many people pushing back vs this insane talk

tonyflorio.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's great to see. But I do think you have long term challenges that will change your place in the world no matter who is in power although obviously there are much better solutions than the current administration is proposing! 1/x

tonyflorio.bsky.social•3 days ago

Spending is reaching the point where interest charges are becoming dominant. Yet the big costs -- social security, Medicare and defense -- are really hard to deal with and you've reached a kind of political deadlock on all of them. 2/x

tonyflorio.bsky.social•3 days ago

Expecting the US to continue to defend the free world isn't realistic. Allowing the huge wealth inequities is socially and economically unsustainable. Change is coming no matter what. 3/x

tonyflorio.bsky.social•3 days ago

My hope as a Canadian is that we can work with like minded partners to create a new, sustainable set of defense and economic alliances that don't rely on the US. When you all get your internal issues sorted out, hopefully you can rejoin us as a partner, but not the dominant partner. 4/x

tonyflorio.bsky.social•3 days ago

The US is amazingly adaptive and I'm hopeful you can navigate this crushing change and come out stronger, better and more equitable. The world benefits from a healthy US, but I think we're going to have to make do without you for a while. 5/5

judemacdonald.bsky.social•3 days ago

We see you, and we appreciate you! We also saw January 6 and its tepid aftermath. Changing course will be hard.

We won’t give up on you, and are with you all the way. Our issue is with the malignancy that is at the heart of the American establishment.

Godspeed doing what you can to cut it out.

bikehfxlobby.bsky.social•3 days ago

Keep the faith. Canadian are waking up to the fact that our print media is 90 percent US owned with an extreme right bias.

The scary thing is it appears your government is quickly putting into place excuses to start arresting anyone that tries to stand up to them.

From the outside looking in, it honestly looks like an authoritarian take-over is quickly in progress.

joannavandy.bsky.social•3 days ago

We see you. We hear you. Keep it up. IOC and Bernie are amazing. Stay strong. Look after yourselves and look after each other. 👍

lloydalter.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you Sarah, we do not see much of this...

sgoodyear.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah, there are a lot of things happening and more all the time. It's growing. It's also very frustrating that there is still so much ignorance and apathy, but it is not universal. And I want to shine a light on what is building.

judemacdonald.bsky.social•3 days ago

I find myself thinking a lot about Gil Scott Heron’s The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.

Mainstream media is part of the establishment. Protest will either be ignored or distorted for propaganda purposes.

sgoodyear.bsky.social•3 days ago

So many types of actions happening are not ones that can be covered with a picture anyway. That's why I try to just laugh when people tell me, "this rally isn't it," or "this protest isn't it." It's about BUILDING something by coming together, and it is good that is happening in physical space

judemacdonald.bsky.social•3 days ago

Saw one town hall where a resident said she’s not political, then RIPPED her representative about the tariffs, resulting in other attendees jumping up with a Canadian flag, and a standing ovation.

Go on, cynic, tell me absolutely no one there was inspired to do something more after attending.

rajio.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nah, Sarah. This isn't Elbows up. This is very passive 'resistance'. Canadians are looking for active steps being taken. Material action. Not just waiting for the weekend to go for a walk with a sign, or attending meetings and booing. lol.

judemacdonald.bsky.social•3 days ago

Canadians are doing our own thing. We are well past the time of sitting on our hands, sniping about how it is other people’s responsibility to act. And it has always been childish to snipe about the quality of others’ actions.

Want something different? Organize.

rajio.bsky.social•3 days ago

why are you sniping about the quality of others' actions?

sgoodyear.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hey, if you have a concrete suggestion, feel free to leave it here. If not, let's move on. No time for internet arguments.

rajio.bsky.social•3 days ago

sgoodyear.bsky.social•3 days ago

got it

judemacdonald.bsky.social•3 days ago

Raj, I like your playlist! That’s the one action I see you’ve been involved with.

I don’t consider posts - including my own - as a form of action.

rajio.bsky.social•3 days ago

Want something different? Organize.

judemacdonald.bsky.social•3 days ago

Absolutely!

astr0b0y8.bsky.social•3 days ago

Those are the main victims honestly. The American people who didn't vote for the mad king. Rest of world is collateral damage. So rightly so they should lead the resistance as much of the world pushes back as well

ianmccausland.bsky.social•3 days ago

liftupalways.bsky.social•3 days ago

Keep it up.
More.
Only sustained, peaceful protests that make life inconvenient for people will have an effect.
General strikes, marches big enough to block traffic, etc.

corgideb.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thank you!! We, as Canadians are doing our best to fight back as well.

You should read this. Written by a Canadian, published in 2022.
I haven’t finished it yet, but what I have read is very close to reality.
Canada is trying to pull away from the USA economically, & socially to avoid collateral damage when your country implodes. Frankly, it seems inevitable now.

lasantink.bsky.social•3 days ago

My husband and I follow the news and social media to see what's happening and we were happy to see the Sanders & AOC rally so well attended. Keep it up! The world wants to see millions of Americans standing up against Trump but we know many won't (like my own American brother & SIL).

steve1970peng.bsky.social•2 days ago

We didnt give up on anybody!

But your Dear Leader Herr Cheetoh, threatened our Sovereignty!

The anger instantly became INCANDESCENT!

Annexation
51 State
DEI Detention
30 Day Fingerprinting (New)
MAGA rudeness!

The world will never understand how the election was even close.
