Even when we vote to change laws, our (OH) legislators look for ways to undermine our wishes. Then they choose ballot language to confuse voters to make sure they remain in power.
He must be challenged, confronted, exposed, ridiculed, emasculated.
Commoners have no real power, & those who do, too often profit from the discord.

I'm not saying it would be easy, things will get hard but we have to decide & remind each other of
Everyone has to decide for themselves if they can make the sacrifices necessary to pull it off.
I couldn't say how long it would take but, taking the time to figure out the logistics, what it would involve, who would lead,
You know that w Trump in office any peaceful protest will be met with violence. Its guaranteed. We have to think outside the box now.
Pass legislation to make your community a safe haven.
Heckle lawmakers intent on making tyranny the law. Enter “hostile” spaces and make unlikely allies.
I felt the same as everyone after the election, so weak and hopeless. But there’s a lot of good work to be done!

When the FBI Director QUITS, knowing what challenges and threats are coming in January, it's hard for ordinary people to 'do their part' when their part is pretty much powerless.
If Dir. Wray can't take the heat OR the leadership, it doesn't bode well for the future.
Steve Bannon called for "flooding the zone"= overwhelming the establishment with so many simultaneous attacks that it cannot defend against them.
Our defenses must be equally diffused, at multiple levels, repetitive, and persistent.
2. The President is fine. It's the incoming Rapist Traitor against whom we're protesting.
3. What is the rule of law when a Rapist Traitor can infest the White House after inciting an insurrection?

Freak out at what he DOES, if necessary, not at what he says.
This is the kind of information we need.
So much for the military refusing illegal orders. Await history.
how does this differ from the democrat strategy for the last ten years
him, he say that from what she said, she should be in jail. We must resist this dolt!
Thinking independently is always good advice, but use basic morality as your guide, not party politics.
I love this
we need to let the democratic leadership sacred dinosaurs go or things will continue to devolve as they have since the same crew bungled bush/cheney and its aftermath
We need their stature to fight Trump more effectively than any of us can. Make sure they're well funded.
Americans will only be motivated to action if they see the full consequences of MAGA rule
If the gov’t shuts down it’s on them.
Democrats - Please vote NO on any spending bills or CR.

Not in Pennsylvania. Unless you're a rich neoliberal lawyer, don't bother. They'd rather leave the Democratic ballots BLANK than have a non-rich, non-neoliberal on the Democratic ballot. I know FIRSTHAND.
For each group Rubin names -- military, civil serv, judges, legislators, voters -- a MAJORITY has already shown they will deliver what T wants.
and that IS what happened in floriDUH
WHY?
Old here, my grandmother (b.1885) insisted all her children and grandchildren must vote every single time.
It was Duty..non negotiable.
I have a theory which nobody agrees with..that people are illiterate and ashamed of it so don’t vote. Probably they’re just lazy. …
and if anyone needs some more suggestions, here's two:
1) go get out your old copy of MoveOn's "Fifty Ways to Love Your Country" and start working your way through the list!
2) join your local @indivisible.org chapter (or start one!)
The rest of the craziness can be dealt with, but if he (again!) crosses the Rubicon to deploy troops in country, he will direct their use.

It’s so different from nyc!
Now trying to eat seasonally, but still need tomatoes and a few other staples from market.
Do we have the will, the desire, and ability to cooperate (not proven we can)? Are our wealthiest willing to put their fortunes into the work?

They can remove the “in darkness” from their motto.
Throw in building community collective funds/services to help the vulnerable and facilitate their access to care. Harassing local law makers. Running for office. Teaming up with local unions and striking.

Political Intimidation
By my calculation, 2025 is 1935 in historical equivalence. What will “We the People” allow? Popcorn Popped…
Who else should I use? Who's BETTER?
Would be nice if there was an better alternative for all of that.
I don't like Bezos after he gave Donald $1 million. So did Zuckerberg.

A significant challenge will be keep efforts focused and not spread resources so thin that they are ineffective. That means we need to identify goals and prioritize.
Bring back economics and Civics as required courses to graduate High School.
Everything out of them is tainted now - how I personally feel 🤷🏼♀️
Don’t engage in the both siding of democracy.
Centrist Democratic voters will never. They are currently buying high-end chutneys and relishes to find which ones taste best with the Republican boot leather they love so much. "Biden was a GREAT President and we LOVE republican policies." Eat boots, your resistance means NOTHING, neolibs.
Vote with your wallet.
Avoid GOP/MAGA businesses
Reduce your expenses.
Embrace DeGrowth Mvmnt.
Encourage/support unions.

I do think that as a citizen, it IS my duty to help her at the grassroots level. Kind conversation, and gentle discussion may help a few understand their choices better. I will fight for our democracy
