Here it is in a nutshell:
1. Trump is an authoritarian.
2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy.
3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2.
4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021.
Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

Marc, can you give your opinion on the current state of things?

If we want to preserve democracy, we need to get big money OUT of politics.

The next step to fascism is when they tell the courts to f#ck off to f#ckoffy land. That's when the Constitution ends.
Only the psychopaths will remain in robes.
2. Confidence in the correctness of ideas and views they are presenting 3. Appearing to be unbiased 4. Resisting social pressure and abuse"
No free press
No Bluesky
No freedoms
No Democracy

But how do we the people fight?
Calling congressman
Marching what what?
Asking for a friend
Do we comfort our fears with belief that guardrails still exist and we are still a constitutional republic instead of what is?
If you want your USA back, like they told you it was in school, get supporting @marcelias.bsky.social's team and folks like that.
Get fighting.
OUR IS ELECTION IS EVERYTHING.
They already start
3a. So far, the LOWER courts are doing a good job on #2
3b. The rulings from 3a will bubble up to the SCOTUS, and all bets are off...
Maybe April 15.
What is that saying about no taxation without representation.
All that they go low we go high? They said you were afraid.
They threatened you and yours.
You shrugged.
You waited for a judge or politician to actually do good trouble, they waited too. Talking is worthless without backing the words with actions
Throw

And an armed citizenry.
It’s time to dig deep and someone like Michael Steele who listening to him is as angry and disgusted as I am.
Tramp GAZA Casinos:
Trump will not
Allow Palestinians the
Right of return to their land!

The people must push back fashism in the public space so that court orders cannot be ignored.
Republican Party more guilty than tRump!
“The world has become a significantly more dangerous place in just a few years. We must take this seriously.
The time for arguing about trifles in the back seat is over.”
Unite! And Fight!
Project 2025 return to a kingdom, the courts have no power.
Rump, Van, Elan all said the courts have no power or corrupt and not following a single ruling!

I'm not afraid of that assbite, no one should be.
4. Next the courts will be neutered, their rulings ignored.
1. abuses of power
2. blatant unconstitutionality
3. legal overreach
4. high crimes & misdemeanors
Isn't cynical, it's being aware of what is happening.
May knowledge continue fueling this fight!
MAGA may ignore the rule of law. Before Trump and Vance took office, Chief Justice Roberts warned that Vance’s hints at defying federal court rulings were “dangerous” and “must be rejected.”
Call your local, state, and federal officials.
Visit there offices. Bring friends. Lots of them.
Boycott companies supporting the end of democracy.
Donate and subscribe to Democracy Docket, Southern Poverty Law Center, ACLU, CREW, Indivisible.
Please add to list. #FIGHT
This is Putins playbook
Invade a country fight until negotiations. What ever they settle for is more than they had when they started. So they gain. If we defeat them what will they have gained?
When will they try again?
That is not "fighting", it is surrender. The laws are not going to be upheld so a lawyer is a waste of space.
Best we have are fines lol because no one is arresting Trump
They’re social tag teaming and Trump said same in Fox interview
We’re down to civil disobedience, phone calls, and the vote to pass a budget by March 14, when the continuing resolution expires
Now you try.
So what are you doing?
Heads up, posting on social media or waving placards on a street is not going to fix this. Nor is hoping democrats will do something or that there will be any more elections.
cut power to the Constitution and it is off
Congress has the power to keep the Constitution on. While the President tries turning it off, impeachment can keep it on
It is on or off. No in between.
Republicans, it's on you.
Constitution or dictatorship
And would any have presence of mind to follow up with the point that allowing him, would end the Constitution?
And could any rebut with facts?
What good are they?
I agree with you on 1 and 2, though, although 1 might be a bit gracious.
Government used to be that thing that quietly operated in the background and just worked.
Now it’s a daily onslaught of “Trump did what!?”
I’m a political scientist — degrees and all — and even I’m sick of it.
Democracy is not easy. Fascism would be worse.
Take some time off and do something fun.
NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU.
Not Impeachment.
Not a political party.
Not some clever, last minute cinematic thriller move in Congress.
Not some repetitive, off-the-rack meme.
Wake. Up.
YOU ARE YOUR OWN SALVATION.
Just this past week, Democrats showed up at agencies DOGE was operating out of, pretending they couldn’t get in for what amounted to a disingenuous photo-op.
What are we even pretending to do here?
Keep calling congressional representatives and senators! Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121
The Republicans don't like the volume of calls. Keep calling.
5calls.org makes it easy with scripts and numbers - all you need is your zip code!
What happens when (not IF) DUH Fuhrer ignores the court orders and we're in a FULL-FLEDGED Constitutional Crisis?
The weird part about federal contempt: it's generally held that it circumvents most (if not all) otherwise-existing constitutional protections, because it's so intensely broad.
Hypothetically — that could include executive immunity.
RIP America
Did you join last week’s protest in all 50 states? Do you call your electeds every day using 5Calls app? Or text them emails on specific issues with https://Resist.bot?
Dear god, wake up!
But we’re limited. Our elected officials must do more.
It's daunting but we will persevere.
What emergency? Pick one, or he'll invent one.
1. Trump is an authoritarian.
2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy.
3. So far, trump & GOP are ignoring the courts
4. There is no longer “rule of law” in America
All that remains is wholesale political violence-
TIME TO FIGHT!

What if Trump simply refuses to follow court orders?
What then?
Do they know this?
It appears Dictator Musk and his Administrative Assistant Donald Trump are controlling Congress.
At least, until they move to abolish such.
The GOP have no interest in oversight
Some judges are doing their best to uphold the law whilst the Supreme Court is bought and paid for
Riddle me this - who enforces the law? Are there enough with a real belief in what democracy is or are they “I was just following orders”
eg:
— Emailing representatives in Congress
— Attending protests
— Talking with family and friends to share your views etc
Being seen helps others know they too can also show they are against what is happening

Osama bin Laden would be proud of him!!
Trump is a terrorist, Never negotiate with terrorists!
Disbanding the CIA & FBI almost guarantees terrorist attacks.
Will he invoke martial law?
The USA s fucked!!
We know progressives are doing it tough fighting Trump/Musk fascism. We see & feel your pain!
Can someone recommend actions we the concerned people of what's left of the free world can do to support you in your battle!
We know we could be next!
It's time for a #RudeAwakening

Trump cannot police himself! REPEAT
TRUMP WILL NOT POLICE HIMSELF!
He cannot be trusted. End TRUMP'S BULLSHIT NOW!
Donald likes getting others to do his dirty work.

1. It is already illegal for a non-citizen to vote
2. Half of US citizens do not have passports to prove nationality
3. Many married women without passports cannot provide birth certificate as proof (not their legal name)
Simply compliance and apathy.
Their criminal corruption is causal factors or exacerbations 2 a country witnessing crimes unfolding against America
it’s recognizable
