The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. https://www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-things-we-can-all-do-to-protect-democracy/

While elected Democrats remain silent in response -
to the open authoritarian oligarch-backed takeover of our country.
THESE are 'some' of our demands.
Want our $$$s & votes?
Earn them.

Most people have no ideal what’s about to happen.
Watch this guy this is one of his videos see others as well
there is little to nothing Congressional Dems could do about this week's actions. but this is just the start. there will be actions they can take soon. hope they speak and act!
Because they did not want to risk 'looking bad'.😡
Also, not grading on a curve: lower standards for Rs vs higher standards for Ds
Unless Ds get rid of the purity tests, we will never win again.
This isn't a solution, it's why the Dems lost.
Single issue voters. People who voted Cheetoh or didn't vote only because of Palestine are why we lost.
It doesn't work. We have to pick a side. It will never be perfect but it's all we have. Have to be realistic and work within the parameters that are available.
Ds are not for these things. I don't know where you're coming from on that.
There is no other choice. Criticizing Ds only strengthens Rs.
The DNC will elect new chair & vice chairs. They know they need a rebranding.
I have faith in them.
Just because you weren't paying attention doesn't make me wrong.
remember the relief when Biden was sworn-in? channel Jesse Jackson and "Keep hope alive."
You DO KNOW who is sitting on SCOTUS and what "persuasion" holds majority right??
🧵1/6 EXACTLY.
THIS is what makes me crazy!
This BLIND DENIAL - of our current reality where -
THERE IS NO BALANCE OF POWER.😡
🎯DENIAL DOES NOT WORK!🎯
Utilizing the Same Slogans, Same Behavior, Same Advice
as though THIS is Business as Usual Politics -
DESTROYS ALL CREDIBILITY.😐
I mean if they are THIS:
'INCOMPREHENSIBLY OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY' ???😲
It's MIND NUMBING.😡
How can - even a pretense of representation - be claimed?😐
👉And they are supposed to REPRESENT US.
LISTEN to US.
👉NOT the other way around.
Do politicians care about NOTHING but advancing their careers?
Is the 'Party' concerned ONLY with advancing ITSELF as a political party?
Like it exists within a bubble in another dimension?
Our country is being rapidly overthrown and morphed into an Oligarch-Controlled Authoritarian Regime.
If they cannot GRASP THAT -
Grow a set, stand up + FIGHT AGAINST THAT?
Then what use are they to us? We are on our own.
If ANY think 'we the people' are going to automatically 'overlook' and 'forget about' this BETRAYAL -
They are literally insane.😐
What do they think their job IS?
FFS The United States Constitution has been REMOVED from the White House website.
WHAT is it going to take for them - to WAKE UP and comprehend - our current REALITY???😡
🙏💙
Point taken, but what to do when Dems don't show a spine? They keep normalizing fascism by trying to be "bipartisan," and being collegial to the fascists.
I’m not giving up and will fight to protect democracy. I’m in this for the long haul!
Thank you!
You want to do the right thing? Kill Nazis. Nothing else needs to be done. Nothing else holds precedent. Nothing else could be more important than preventing the deaths of innocents
🌎 should 🔥
•Consent by silence & acquiescence.
•Leave the country.
•Begin organizing at home, neighborhood, region, state & national levels bipartisan & multicultural antifascist resistance, immediately.

ENDING ILLEGAL DISCRIMINATION AND
RESTORING MERIT-BASED OPPORTUNITY
signed January 21, 2025
which, among other things,
revoked Lyndon Johnson's bedrock:
Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1965
(Equal Employment Opportunity)

2. Stop Merrick Garland from being born
3. I would have said stop Trump from being born but there may have been another threat that Garland's DOJ would have been too feckless to stop.
even if you have to change parties
to vote in the primary
you can't teach an old dog new tricks
so elect a new one
who is a J6 er
and not able to hold office in W.V.
yet the GOP let him on the primary ballot
WE WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE,
we need directives not ...this.
we need a leader,we need a plan we can LOOK at, we need ACTION not something that requires people to do more than they are willing to do on their own!
Of court venues. A bought Supreme Court. So pardon me (& others ) if we don’t lean into that.
We just need to mobilize in such a way that we all know what is the most ethical consumer choice when we make it.
We need a database of corporations with 'bluesky scores' to help us.

(And yes, I'm as guilty of this as everyone else)
The idea wouldn't be a mass movement to avoid corporations, but rather to get them to compete for better scores.
Our elected officials deserve protection from republicans unless they are republican.
You know what to do if they are republican.
But hey, let us know when they plan to show up for the fight.
I mean, if they can find time between the stock trades and all.
(That insider info is so addictive.)

All these toss up races need a strong candidate with good funding. If you're there, start talking to neighbors now. If not, look up the closest one and donate to the best campaign.
The Democrats don't have anything to offer. This is why they lost. We need something new. Something not top-down.
Start a union at your workplace!
Why did the Dems concede so fast and why did they not investigate? There were many bomb threats that day at voting areas….all coming from RUSSIA!
At least this helps my sanity.
Letting Dems off the hook for capitulating to tRUMP gets us the GOP over and over again. NOPE.

If you have Federal employee friends, support them. Go to lunch, ask how they’re doing. See this thread for suggested actions they might take.
Take care and keep your chin up 💙!
