Will the Pentagon save we the people if it comes to that?

Can Musk be prosecuted and would it be a State charge or Federal charge. Hopefully a State charge so he can’t be pardoned!

ap366.bsky.social•11 days ago

Please create a push to get people in states where we have important special elections to show up and vote! Our willingness is great but having our ballots be counted is critical!!
Especially: FL, NJ, VA, WI and PA!!!
People need to check their voting status & make a plan!!
Vote!!💙🇺🇸

When the Dems are in power, they're teathered by the GOP but when the roles are reversed the GOP are allowed to do whatever the Hell they want with NO impunity whatsoever and seats many grotesquely unqualified SCOTUS predators.

And Why wasn't Roe put into law in the 70s. Thank you

griffadd.bsky.social•11 days ago

Wondering why the tRump administration is allowed to continue to shut down departments and fire people after all the injunctions and judicial orders to stop?

Hypothetically, what's the chain of command or ripple effect if the felon is naturally removed from office? Does gop all fall in line with JD and nothing changes? Does someone else assume authority? Are maga members more likely to oppose P25 without felon?

worldtreeartjrny.bsky.social•11 days ago

The line of sucession goes Vice President then Speaker of the House then President pro tempore of the Senate, and then to members of the cabinet.

Everyone on the list is baked in to the Trump/p2025 agenda and that likely won't change unless the dems take a majority in the house or senate

natekansas.bsky.social•11 days ago

I know the line of succession...I'm wondering if they would still follow that. Or like if the Speaker is more willing to act more in line with the Constitution if the felon isn't around

worldtreeartjrny.bsky.social•11 days ago

Oh. Sorry. I misunderstood your question.

itsajack.bsky.social•11 days ago

It's cold and rainy here. Nice. What's your favorite chili recipe?

fromthedeskof.bsky.social•11 days ago

Does being loud on social media matter? Or should we be making our digital footprint smaller to protect ourselves and families in the event things go south-er.

progrezolano.bsky.social•11 days ago

Is secession of states a viable option now? How hard would it be for the blue states to unite, separate from the red states and start all over?

gfidk.bsky.social•10 days ago

How do we convince more Dem politicians to dump the bird & move communications to Mastodon or Bluesky?

Our new DNC chair is clueless how to win over voters?

k84peace.bsky.social•11 days ago

What are the courts going to do when Trump et al defy their orders?

georgehardrrmartin.bsky.social•11 days ago

What's more ridiculous, spending money to trans monkeys or giving money to a terrorist so he can go to college. BTW I want my fucking money back.

dbend.bsky.social•11 days ago

When will trump get impeached?

publius64.bsky.social•11 days ago

What is the final, logical end to the scenario where the Trump's administration illegally but effectively destroys the federal government, all while violating and defying myriad injunctions against him?

jandee924.bsky.social•11 days ago

My question follows this line. What happens when he sucks us dry? Destroys ALL safety nets: SS/Medicaid/student loans/grants/food stamps? We won't be able to afford basic necessities. I'm a senior citizen living on a fixed income and I can't afford to lose my SS.

pbwisco.smokefleet.net•11 days ago

Death and destruction of people without means, abilities, non-white and subjugation of women and the rising power of the oligarchs.

What would it take for California, Oregon and Washington to become part of Canada? Serious question.

tracig.bsky.social•11 days ago

If a state has, for example a 6% sales tax, and there are no pennies, how will change be given at the register?

deweyswak.bsky.social•11 days ago

Maybe already asked/answered but, what happens if the US Marshalls refuse to follow court orders?

mepersuit.bsky.social•11 days ago

Can we do a citizens arrest on trump & Musk? :)

huntleyhaverstock.bsky.social•11 days ago

Who has command over sealteam6 if the president gives them orders that are against the constitution ?
Are they still required to follow his orders ?

momwthree.bsky.social•11 days ago

How do the GOP leaders not recognize that by not banding together and going against Trump they are losing every ounce of their own power?

skinnypool.bsky.social•11 days ago

Can Canada build a wall?? 😳
Sorry I had to 🤗😉
We absolutely feel your pain! ❤️

leslie1202.bsky.social•11 days ago

Why pay taxes for services we will no longer be receiving from the federal government ? Let our tax money go to the states for better healthcare, education, consumer protection, etc. The states can then pay into the federal government for centralized services that they cant provide, eg. defense.

mkd55.bsky.social•11 days ago

I wonder the same!!!

ginamphillips.bsky.social•11 days ago

Are you concerned about the midterm elections? Republicans already were making things increasingly difficult with gerrymandering, voter suppression etc. and now I’m concerned they will ramp up their authoritarian tactics in that area. Trump already said ppl “won’t have to vote anymore”. Scary.

debee4peace.bsky.social•11 days ago

I know there is so much going on but I don't see anyone talking about filing and paying taxes? I mean, is it direct payments to technocracy?

pertinacious.bsky.social•11 days ago

why didn't Kamala ask for a recount?

thenewslizard.bsky.social•11 days ago

What's the worst thing in your opinion that Trump has done so far in his awful Presidency?

judejudels.bsky.social•11 days ago

Hi Tristan. Why can't Musk be arrested?

jilldav.bsky.social•11 days ago

How do you think Trump is controlling all the Republicans to be complicit and allow this war on our democracy?

sunnyd6742.bsky.social•11 days ago

Can Musk and his vp really reduce or take away social security and Medicare? How likely do you think that is?

phoenixg75.bsky.social•11 days ago

How do we disbar new-pence and the other Rethuglikkklan lawyers who refuse to stand up for the rule of law and our Constitution?

hummingbirdblonde.bsky.social•11 days ago

Should Dems in Congress or others who have “standing” try and petition SCOTUS to rule on all of these illegal actions now rather than letting it go through the lower courts?
Even though they gave him immunity for certain things, I’ll bet even Barrett and Gorsuch think he’s gone too far.

afameo.bsky.social•11 days ago

Who enforces the federal judges orders on Doge/trump if they simply ignore them?? Is the enforcement apparatus also controlled by the same corrupt individuals?

americasgonemad.bsky.social•11 days ago

In your opinion, are blue states willing to entertain secession if Trump defies court orders and keeps barreling ahead?

mayormccheesecake.bsky.social•11 days ago

YES

mkd55.bsky.social•11 days ago

I owe $300 more in federal taxes this year after finishing my return. Is it a legitimate defense to refuse to pay the taxes due if the federal govt isn't functioning and providing services to the citizens? Seems like where we are headed.

lostbouy.bsky.social•11 days ago

How can we ever know what Gazans on the ground feel when their lives are constantly threatened by Hamas who murder dissidents?

jesusforgives.bsky.social•11 days ago

Several techigarchs are South African Nazis. They want what Yarvin wants - lots of little nations they can rule any way they want, replacing the liberal elite "ruling class" with rich white supremacists.
Do we have any rich liberals fighting against them?
What can be done?

stacy125.bsky.social•11 days ago

Is there a next step for the courts in order to make sure their orders are followed? Can they send US Marshals? Do the Marshals report to the DOJ & therefore the Felon?

lluck002.bsky.social•11 days ago

Are we going to be okay? 🥺🇺🇸

lluck002.bsky.social•11 days ago

Also, should we be preparing to flee the country? Should we be packing, selling-off belongings, searching for jobs and housing elsewhere?

arcaicarcana.bsky.social•11 days ago

I know you didn’t come here for my opinion, but if you ask me it’s fight or flight time.

If your plan is to run, then figure out your exit plan, and identify whatever sign you’re waiting for to know officially it’s time to go.

If you’re gonna stay, then prepare for the fight.

angiedplus4.bsky.social•11 days ago

Is there a reason why you don’t vet your follows? Every time I see a post from maga on this platform you are following them. Or do you not care who you follow?

tabithasnicethings.bsky.social•10 days ago

Maybe it’s to track the enemy’s chatter?

angiedplus4.bsky.social•10 days ago

You think he is monitoring his follows? He has a lot

tabithasnicethings.bsky.social•10 days ago

They use key word monitoring automatically.

gtmlosangeles.bsky.social•11 days ago

What is holding back the big private sector unions from more vocal opposition to the administration?

tabithasnicethings.bsky.social•10 days ago

When will the sane members of the US realise they are already in a cold #civilwar and how easy would it be for them to #secede?

itskristy777.bsky.social•11 days ago

1. What branch or position can legally arrest the president for not following his oath to uphold the constitution?

2. What happens if Trump ignores judicial rulings? Who can enforce the rulings?

worldtreeartjrny.bsky.social•11 days ago

Does Trump, actually have the unilateral authority to cut off aid to Jordan or does that power lie with Congress? (not that they'll stop him)

fiveam.bsky.social•11 days ago

Will the military obey the constitution or the president when push comes to shove?

calamityjo163.bsky.social•11 days ago

What are your thoughts on the SAVE Act and how can we ensure that our right to vote will not be stripped?

gym-shorts.bsky.social•11 days ago

You posted this recently. Trump should obey judges orders, but what someone else wrote, sorry, I don’t remember who, was that judges use US Marshalls to enforce such rulings. The US Marshalls report to the DOJ. The DOJ reports to Trump. So will Trump allow such enforcement to proceed?

neurospark.bsky.social•11 days ago

I heard judges can deputize local police forces to carry out their orders. Not much but something.

In your opinion, are there any actual non-MAGA republicans that can be reasoned with left in Congress?

flychickadee.bsky.social•11 days ago

What is one small/manageable action you would suggest everyone do right now? Everything feels so overwhelming many of us don’t know where to start.

ap366.bsky.social•11 days ago

Yes, please contact the DNC, ask about how to phone bank from home. There are computer based systems so you don’t use your phone. There are 5 special elections coming up. We need to reach Dem voters in FL, PA, VA, WI and NJ : help get out the vote. They offer training.💙🇺🇸

flychickadee.bsky.social•10 days ago

Thank you!!

writergirl1.bsky.social•11 days ago

Who enforces it if a prez doesn’t comply with the law, nor the judges?

eyesofocean.bsky.social•11 days ago

We MUST focus and start playing offense. What is 1 issue we can devote 95% of our energy to, and how can we garner as much attention as humanely possible around this issue? I say, spotlight on Musk, show how dangerous he is to ALL of us, and be artistic in doing so. Get creative, make a scene!!

mayormccheesecake.bsky.social•11 days ago

What is left standing after he casts decimate on the US? Small businesses like bakeries and pizza shops maybe? Trying to figure out his end game.

mmcclure88.bsky.social•11 days ago

Is there a way to accelerate the asteroid(s)?

researchforchange.bsky.social•11 days ago

Should we trust the approval rating numbers reported by MSM? I see mixed ratings from different polls. The 50% approval rating reported by some outlets does not mesh with the haphazard actions of the administration.

vitamina.bsky.social•11 days ago

1. Does the US POTUS have the ability to directly lower grocery or fuel prices through Exec. Order?
2. Can the District of Columbia press charges against J6 Defendants which aren’t Federal crimes & can’t be pardoned?
3. Why can’t a sitting US POTUS be charged for a crime but POTUS can sue a company?

randompammit.bsky.social•10 days ago

Why are we even looking at polls when Trump has sued agencies for reporting on polls that make him look bad. We need to stop considering polls as an accurate indicator of anything Trump related

upchuck66.bsky.social•11 days ago

When does Trump pull us out of NATO?

upchuck66.bsky.social•11 days ago

I can’t fathom these Fascists stealing the Medicaid, Medicare & SS coffers without first disarming the arsenals of citizens, especially magats, who will be enraged out of their skulls. So when & how does Trump & his Muskrats disarm the population?

leahkblack.bsky.social•11 days ago

When do you think it would be appropriate for all the other past living presidents to hold a press conference and speak out? They obviously think what is happening is nuts. Like, don't past presidents have a duty to stand up for the country? Or is that too inflammatory....

ap366.bsky.social•11 days ago

Follow Mark Cuban he has some great ideas about collective action.
