As a Canadian watching this I’m sure it’s a lot to take in. What I’m curious about is why not more public outcry, protests etc ??
Am I missing something? The world is watching and is horrified by the actions of a madman

Not to worry, we’ll be gearing up for this monstrosity and may very well be joined by some of the people who voted for him and now regret it.
Are we cowed already?
Really?
People in red counties and red states need to wake up and lead the charge.
Otherwise, nothing changes.

Democrats need to protest. This whole nation belongs to every one of us. We all have a problem. We need to do something.

That'll totally stop what's coming. Golly, if only we had thought of this sooner.
Supporting orgs that can sue the admin is probably the one thing that is meaningful now.
It just really doesn't do anything else, and I think right now people are trying to conserve their energy for a long four years.
And it's been rather demoralizing that we're in this mess because people who voted for Joe in '20 sat out '24.
But my outrage is extending to the silent Democrats
It feels as if they are just rolling over
Trump’s actions were expected
AOC seems one of the few standing up / unless I am missing s’thing?
She came from a disadvantaged position and I think with a different approach could be precisely what is needed
But more than happy to concede if I am wrong
But wld def say that hasn’t been allowed to shine - Buttigieg being one
Congressional offices record the calls they get for constituency info. It’s not a waste a time. It lets them know we’re out here and reminds them they’re not operating unchecked by their bosses, We the People!!
Thanks 💙
Those with the microphone should’ve seen it coming.
1st, the public have to know. “The public” aren’t tuned in like we are. There is a dearth of local reporting.
but it’s almost a new month. Let’s see what happens when they don’t get their WIC benefit
Make that make sense…

In the streets what happens? Insurrection Act? Military in the streets? I know it needs to happen but the fear is real.
All they can do is kill us ....
It's safer here to protest than in most parts of the world. What's wrong with us, do you think? I'm genuinely curious.
Social media has divided our country. We've taken our democracy for granted, the younger generations have.
Where are the planned protests??? Why does it seem like any1 that could do something is sitting on their 👐? Why does it seem like something really, really, really bad has to happen b4 some1 steps 🆙 & says ENOUGH? We don't have to get to that point or is that the point?
Home of the BRAVE.
Then there are the poor who jumped on the magat train, they expect trump to *give* them
Then there's the rest of us. Who are so completely broken by what is happening but we log onto the internet, complain a little and start to feel better.
There are
And none of us are willing to risk what little security we have now to hold onto what's being taken from us.
Some of the tv personalities are still speaking
And that kind of speaking out will never change anything.
And yes, all of that goes for me too. I have too much other shit to deal with and nobody outside of a few people in my life have ever done shit for me. I don't see why I'd risk what little I have left
He's Republicans and Trump but if you say nothing he will assume all is agreeable. This constituent is not agreable
They’ll blame Biden.
What is effective are (1) lawsuits that block bad actions and (2) Democrats winning elections.
The fascists in power are making it easy for us to win elections. By 2026, it will be obvious how truly horrible the current crop is at governing. Get votes.
I've already been threatened with possible job loss, and I know others have too. Layoffs are happening and no one wants to move to the front of that line. If Canada has to fire, aim toward DC.
We're just going to keep seeing FFOTUS break things so he can "fix" them - he can be the hero. Problem - things will stay broken...unrepairable. Everyone needs to push our representatives to call him out,stand up to him; that's how you deal with Bully's.
First, easy place we can begin is BOYCOTT THE SUPERBOWL. Just don't watch it this year. Send their ad dollars down the drain.

showing the hypocrisy to highlight what he’s really doing. He’s spending hundreds of millions more on airforce planes for deportations just for the look of it. He’s not interested in saving money so what are the spending cuts really about?
He’s goading us to hit the streets.

These efforts to ruin the free world are as obvious as they are terrifying.
We are all in this together. 💙🌎💙
This is a "fight" of decency vs. true evil.

This is a geopolitical movement.
We must own our collective identity and unify for boundless resistance.

Please Repost.
We need congress to do their fvcking jobs.
Time for them to be chucked into the recycle bin and make way for the ones who WANT to fight.
Put a tariff on this!
1) uninformed
2) misinformed
3) receive information via social media
The Fourth Estate is dead. Journalists are few and far between, and the tech broligarchy influences nearly 100% of all information. Ignorance is bliss.
1. It was a carefully designed and orchestrated plot-- one which Trump said he knew nothing about.
2. Seething rage about lost opportunities in rural communities, with DEI and immigrants seen as the cause.
3. Anger about abortion, a 50 year conservative cause.
4. The deep /1
5. A relentless campaign of denigration and hate directed at the Biden crime family.
6. The belief that a real political coup could never happen /2
7. COMPLICITY OF THE COURTS. SCOTUS delayed until the last possible second to rule on the immunity case, thereby guaranteeing that insurrection case wouldn't go to trial before the 2024 election.

There are certainly others. Our deeply flawed Constitution; the torrent of lies that are /3
The only possible resolution to this is a full frontal assault on ALL of it. /4
45 years in the making
Assuming you could even get millions of people to DC, mass protests require sustained protest. Most people can't afford to do that.
Rump will do to it what Hitler did to Poland 😢
