We are in the days of shock & awful, where Trump tries to make people feel so overwhelmed by all the rapid changes & actions that they quit trying to keep up. Don't give into that. Learn about what you have the bandwidth for. Understand that these are steps being taken to break down democracy.

Funny, but I thought that by law, the debate about Marxist-equity-forcing on such things as food & housing assistance is supposed to occur during budget debates, not in the OMB after passage.
But I do agree we ...

Assuming 'course voters actually knew he was campaigning on it. Test it out NOW in rural KY, Dems.
Give us some response!
I'm blaming Dems who said this was a threat to democracy for continuing to act like this is normal.
Dems need to remember that the American average is a 6th grade reading level.

Exactly. This is what we don't have the bandwidth to cope with.
We believe that the root of #evil in our society resides in #billionaire-backed #bans on activities that don’t harm others.
Billi-boys divide us into camps fighting bans on #voting #abortion #books #marriage #drugs #TikTok and on and on.
So we can’t focus on THEM!🗽
We can't beat them at their game, but we can create our own!
Am I missing something? The world is watching and is horrified by the actions of a madman
I keep asking…
Yes, a good question. It has been three months out from the election and Fetterman is friendly with Republicans, while Jefferies is writing poetry. All of this is less than reassuring. We need unified leadership with a plan.
Also frustrated with the Democratic leadership, which is apparently fine to help confirm his nominees and sit by while he strips the guard rails of the system and openly defies Congress
Oh, nevermind. We all know they won't.
② Kash Patel's FBI will arrest & indefinitely detain even innocent bystanders
③ Pam Bondi will turn a blind eye to the inevitable police violence and brutality.
Weak excuse, I know, but that’s how see it for now. Plus I’m an old man, fighting cancer, but I plan to participate, when able, in the protests and visible outrage.
And yes, I have protested plenty in my 64 years. Willing to get arrested for it if need be. We're a country full of weak whiners and hand-wringers.
Since when should Americans fewr their own military?
We live in absurd times
It’s probably 25-30% that actually wants skulls to be cracked, which is still too many.
It’s not about them, it’s about enough people to push against them. I have my doubts.
1) a significant number of Americans voted for Trump & are just fine with this - in fact, many of them love it
2) another sizable chunk has their head up their arses & can’t be bothered to pay attention to those of us who ARE screaming at the top of our lungs.
This week has been a long year.
They are flooding the zone right now to make us feel overwhelmed and hopeless. Trying to beat us down.
We are gathering ourselves and remembering our power.
Well, we've done this to ourselves. There's a pretty large number of enthusiastic supporters of this idiocy.
Then there's the ones who just let it happen, couldn't see much difference either way.
That majority is only going to figure it out in #TheGreatFindOut
We ALL had 4 years to prepare and most didn't.
Media is useless as well.
Cannot wait for the day he is 6 ft under
And then, there are the happy ones. Posting kumbaya, "let's all be friends, again", BS.
My queer friends are keeping their heads low; they've endured this before.
We are in, a lot, of trouble!
2. Social media right now is only pushing right wing talking points( exception for this site)
3. Most Americans won't know what's happening until it actually starts effecting them.
4. American complacency is strong right now until the FO stage .

But silly me. Is there anyone in the US that cares enough to do research? Half the country isn't educated enough to know how to get valid info and don't care. They're glad "daddy" is back.
I peacefully protested at the 2016 Women's March and Gun Control Rally in Annapolis, to no avail.
They want to roll the dice and see what happens.
I am crushed by necessities.
I try to support those in the legal field who are fighting what they can.
Election 2026 is the next stop on the line at the national level.
They have homes, money, stocks, healthcare.
They will be fine.
Until they are not.
We cannot trust the military or the police to keep protesters safe.
Even a peaceful protest can see the organizers billed for the time police spend keeping an eye on things.
National protests today! Super small here but larger images on my page! Find your city and join us!
If that happens, then perhaps most will stop focusing on the smoke and be ready to put out the bank that's on fire. #midterms
Seven Dems voted to approve, some in the name of 'bipartisanship.'
C'mon, man!!! MAGA don't do 'bipartisanship!'

Who is working on Project 2027 to fix all this cr*p
Please let it include that in order to RUN FOR PRESIDENT you have to pass a security clearance! That would have stopped all of this!
Push back 10 times as hard, it's all bullies know. Attack Attack Attack, disrupt disrupt, disrupt. Bully right back.
Just going on with life like nothings happening.
It’s time for strong, sustained, and if necessary impolite opposition, using all the tools at our disposal. And fast.
An impeachment resolution.
An emergency appeal to SCOTUS.
Anything to convey that this is a Constitutional crisis demanding immediate action at the highest levels of government.
these events in a way
that is calming & reassuring.
Plus, your rooster pictures help.

The DNC needs to wake up and start now and find viable candidates.
The Democratic Congress must speak up--all of them.
Nobody voted for this.

The blonde Ivanka look alike, is not as professional, courteous or informed as Karinę Jean Pierre.
Great choice for this president. Loyalty above all.
Seems the US system doesn’t cater for this..
Me, I'm posting about the economy (yeah, I know the price of eggs isn't T's fault, but his people blamed Biden, so I'm pointing out now it's T) and the tremendous waste of tax dollars if we really kick 15,500 people out of the military.
Let's subtract the decent ones, and we are overwhelmingly #TheDiverseMajority
Every Revolution demands #solidarity.
