Resisters, I wish to personally thank you for the sacrifices you’ll make participating in the General Strike 5/1/25. This calculated risk is one of the last tools we can use peacefully as a nation to stop the tyrannical tRump reign. Please join in the General Strike and take back our country! ✊✊✊🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Trump’s “executive orders are meant to act as royal decrees — demands that the country bend to his will…Roosevelt did not transform the United States with a series of executive orders; he did so with a series of laws.”
FDR is overhyped.
Black people were denied the benefits of New Deal policies.
He interned Japanese-Americans during World War II.
He also refused to let Jewish refugees in from Europe & sent them back to be murdered in the Holocaust.
The point of ceasing to pay is to not reward the publisher. So the attempt to pretend they aren't buttholes who avoid speaking truth to power means reading their "free" stuff the same as their horse puckey.
May I rephrase. Trump does not have the skills to effect the permanent transformation of his despotic dreams. But the Heritage Foundation, the billionaires behind the HF and allied multi-decade endeavors, and key WH functionaries of HF and those billionaires do. Trump is the face of the evil within.
"I am 77 years old, and I hope I live to see that legacy give rise to a reborn America that treasures the freedoms they enshrined: the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom to live one’s own faith, the freedom from desperation and want, and most especially, the freedom from fear."
Like the slave trade, the attempted secession of 1860-1861. the Civil War, the Depressions of the past; the 1918 flu epidemic; the 2008 economic crisis; Trump too shall pass. ITS GOING TO HURT A LOT & HURT A LOT OF US; but he's not greater than Hitler (who lasted 12 years), or Mao or Ozymandias.
Thanks for giving me hope. I'm still going to protest and fight until this regime falls, but things are feeling less like evil will inevitably win these days.
FDR worked with Congress, he was a *legislative* powerhouse. Trump & those putting their long-held desires onto him, Bannon, Miller, et al, know they can’t get their agenda passed through congress, so they’re trying w EOs

Because you’re right. That’s exactly what he wants.
Congrats on the blue check too! 🤗☺️
Grasping is nearly impossible.
But Trump's basal ambition is to be and exceed Al Capone, Hitler, Putin.
In terms of personal accumulation and radius of destruction, he's doing pretty well.
Black people were denied the benefits of New Deal policies.
He interned Japanese-Americans during World War II.
He also refused to let Jewish refugees in from Europe & sent them back to be murdered in the Holocaust.
However, do consider how low the bar is for US presidents.
So ready for history to rhyme here. Contrasting Trump with an actual leader: that's good writing.
This reaction from Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt's grand-daughter, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, was also gratifying ...
"All my life I have lived in the shadow — no, the glow — of the legacy of my grandparents’ leadership, ideals and public accomplishments.

& the public hates it
