Text the word Resist to 50409. ResistBot will assist you in sending your message to your Congressional representatives. Takes 2minutes. I got a very good response from Senator Warnock.
My question is when do the false flags start? Like Trump’s minions in and out of government start violence giving him the excuse to active the insurrection act. Also, when will he use the Presidential Alert System to spread disinformation? As I recall, this messages to cell phones cannot be disabled
Blaming Canada for fentanyl. Already committed to 1 billion to further secure the border. Love this community.It should be normal to hate a fascist criminal dictator sociopath.
With all due respect, WE can try staying sane til Monday, but what are our democratic leaders doing NOW. You mentioned we need give it two years, then vote them out. It can’t be the only solution. I hope they’re doing more than that. I don’t want Musk touching my social security & retirement.
I feel like it’s all I say lately, but… we cannot wait 2 years. The amount of damage done by then will take multiple generations to reverse. And the number of people who will die or lose everything and be shunted aside to scramble to survive will by positively dystopian.
Agreed.
I've finally discovered the healing power of taking "mental health breaks" (aka: self care) from political news - and news in general. Great way to refresh, reset & re-energize! Taking action DOES help ease my anxiety re:Project 2025 takeover. Call/email your representatives to dissent ✊️
Please consider doing some mutual aid work. It helps me more than I ever could help anyone else. Listened to some great bootleg CDs of old school reggae while I made lentil/mushroom/sausage stew tonight for 85 asylum seeking women and children staying in my local shelter. I’m feeling good about it.
What Beauty said. Our group always needs receipts entered. And donations sorted. Lots you can do -I was immune compromised for 3 years the first time we had to cope with the orange felon and did tons from my couch. 😉
I'm staying busy resisting... I just can't leave my bubble and go out in public. I distributed a big pot of vegetable soup last week and now my daughter is scheduled for brain surgery... but I will be back.
I know I’m past the window but I wanted to say thank you to those who asked such thoughtful questions. I’m having difficulty finding my voice in all of the chaos and horror. Thank you angry for your calming responses.
Lone Skum has NO respect for American culture. “I” grew up as part of the TGIF era and am roughly the same age as him, YET, he pulls all his shit and shenanigans when the rest of us WANT to be focused in on our free time.
Two weeks of chaos down, way too many to go. Let’s hope some of them get less dangerous. Thanks for the information tonight. Enjoy your weekend! Cheers! 🥃
Thank you for your efforts & encouraging words, they matter, you matter. I’m spending today cleaning out/organizing my garage & reading a new book. Trying any anti-spiraling activity I can think of. Hope you get some down time too.
Thank you Angry…I look forward to Friday nights! You always make me feel hopeful…I have put all my fear into RAGE but you make me take a step back to REALLY PISSED OFF which is better for my physical health and well being🤷♀️😉💙
Musk also took an oath when he became a citizen to uphold the Constitution and our laws. He needs to be arrested, jailed, and deported. Call your Senators! Call your Congress Member! Rest.
Maybe just free yourself from the thought an administration exists.
From where I've been watching the last 15yrs,
the federal administration as a form of government has now ceased to exist
I just posted this on X and my account was suspended: @Angry_Staffer NBC because they didn’t pay homage to the dear leader. We are now living in an autocracy. To all those Democrats who couldn’t vote for Hillary and Kamala-go jump in a very cold lake!!
Thanks as always for your insights. I know this must have been a tough week for you. As long as you keep showing up, I know we’re not completely screwed.
This weekend I am performing in 2 shows. I will immerse myself in the beauty of the arts. Monday I’ll be hopefully still alive to continue resisting our crazy bully dictator and his minions.
Because the last report I got, Elon is about to loot the Treasury (as some of us have been afraid since he bought Twitter was his "plan") and every Congressional & Senate office I've called seems to be pretending none of it's happening
Why bring her into it? There is absolutely NOTHING she can do. The democrats in congress are responsible for fighting. THATS WHO NEED THEIR COLLECTIVE ASSES KICKED.
True! I just think Kamala, as an inspirational figure, could go around and speak and organize, as well as comfort and empathize with what folks are going through. She could be a leader in this moment.
She would be annihilated at this point in time. Maybe later if the democrats get their crap together. Possibly, behind the scenes she could work, and suspect, that's exactly what she's doing.
Elizabeth Warren has been vocal at speaking out. She has been on CNN and has been forceful in multiple hearings. I think Congressional Democrats have been busy behind the scenes plus the GOP Senate Leader has had them working weekends and evenings to confirm Trump’s nominees.
We can simply protect each other in our communities and let magas take care of their coupy government. I don’t know anyone left or right who doesn’t need to eat. And that’s what they’re doing, trying to starve everyone. Give it few months.
Actually, there is only a few “Privacy Coins” that you can’t trace. Generally, the blockchain is the most transparent monetary invention to date. Every single Bitcoin transaction since inception can be viewed. That is how the Mueller Report was able to prove Russia’s involvement.

This all part of 2025

We have to do both: prepare for the worst and figure out actions to take now. Most of all, we must not let this sick dictator sever our community ties. As a community, we are strong & must stand together. We have already seen some "leaders" do not live up to that word.
The unlawful funding freeze sparked a 50 state roar that scared them into backing off. The fed judge's order also helped. It's not over yet, but blowing up your representative's and senators' phones is extremely important.

What are the odds that Project 2025 have gamed this out and figure that Trump is expendable and they want Vance as a safety valve to Trump’s foaming out-of-control boiler in time for the mid-terms or later for the Presidential election?
Listen, I thought Harris & Walz were certain to be elected, until the VP debate. Saw a wily, fascist JDV that I knew was there, but hadn't publicly seen. Stepped up my volunteering through Election Day.
He is smarter, which makes him worse. But the idea is to let Trump do the dirty work and modify the country’s DNA, after which Vance will take over and appear to be the epitome of moderation, knowing that the toothpaste can’t be put back in the tube at that point.
Trump is expendable. JD Vance is expendable. Mike Johnson is expendable. The people who are running the country are Elon Musk and the Heritage Foundation are running the company.
1. With the illegal OMB order, we saw that mass outrage worked. The condemnation was swift, and it came from everywhere, and the administration backed down. Stay active - use your voice.
2. Be prepared to protest if it gets to that point.
3. Prepare for state/local elections. It all starts there.
Since you have mentioned local elections, look no further than two house elections in Florida people. I am in House District 6 and there could be a chance to flip this one. Democratic candidate Josh Weils, educator, single father
I'm always up for a good protest but I think a spending freeze for everything not necessary for survival would better get their attention but then 1/3 might do it, 1/3 will spend more money than ever and 1/3 won't have a f'qing clue of what's happening.
Unfortunately I think higher prices, losing access to social security, healthcare, SNAP, etc is the only way a lot of people will wake up. It's not enough that people are suffering. For some people, that suffering has to be personal for them to wake up. Meanwhile, the rest of us need to mobilize
We are already doing it. And also aside from Costco and necessary hotels for kid things…no major corporate spending. Been a month of adjustment but Amazon is gone, Target, Walgreens - all gone. Any non necessary spending will be local and to non MAGA biz
Had the fbi and justice dept took down the elected congress members and powerful instead of the willful ignorants. Things might be different. Imagine what a person that was involved in overthrowing our country would do to stay out of prison, ballot stuffing, the sky is the limit🇺🇸
It's past time we accept that Garland willfully pursued the foot soldiers only, deliberately letting all higher up planners off the hook and Biden sat back and allowed it to happen. Doesn’t help knowing that now but the truth is still important.
You left out the FBI. I trusted Wray less than Comey. Your right as Biden response was to unite Americans and not realizing the the failed coup, was laying low until 2024
I believe it’s well beyond that point. The less is done to thwart them the more they are empowered. He will just declare martial law so you know all if this is going to escalate.
They did not but they weren’t feeling the pain. My god this last two weeks—at this rate we’ll all be penniless or in prison by July. Things that can’t go on won’t go on.
Thank you for the shout out to state & local elections.
**Your school board member is the next city council member, is the next mayor, is the next county commissioner, is the next state representative, is the next congress person. Work for and vote the down ballot!** Oh, and the judges!!!
Im not sure. But I have seen what hard work to get out the vote can do for my local school board, sheriff, and county registrar’s office. My red district didn’t vote for the loud mouthed fascists
Most of this years elections are state & local. It’s essential people try to outvote the extremists
Trump & his whole administration needs to be RECALLED. I will repeat, no one voted for this, Trump didn't run on this. And Elon Musk wasn't part of any plans!
I’m watching the MN House right now. Republicans are trying to control. Are trying to stop a Dem House member from being seated. Dem won by 22000 votes. MN Supreme Court just ruled that it violated the state constitution! A win!
Did they back down though? Or are they still enacting their agenda in smaller, quieter steps?
For example, no longer able to change gender at Social Security
Let's face it. Trump and everyone in his administration couldn't care less about protests. The only protests that they might appeal to them is from CEOs when their employees don't show-up to work and, therefore, can't conduct business.
Also, don’t be a martyr. With anything you do, plan an out. Make sure your passport is up to date and have an idea where you’re going to go and how you’re going to get there.
The sad thing is, it can get much worse.
And remind anyone who voted for that fart nugget they approve this shit.
It's time for democratic governments in the United States to start proactively fighting back against the Fascist coup in progress,
CA, NY, IL, MI, CT, CA, MA, OR, WA.. willing to join in should create a state equivalent of the Secret Service. Let's call it the Unified States Security Service.
It's just a matter of time till the independent courts, or what's left of it, lose all their remaining power. This is NAZI Germany 1933 all over again. And I can't believe I am witnessing Part Deux. The last chance are the 3 democratic states: CA, NY, & IL. Those state governors need to get going!
AGs in those states have sued a few of his actions. Not sure they have power to sue firing of fbi and DOJ employees. This may be more of an employee protection issue. Hopefully the unions can step in.
They are too much of cowards. Plus Trump's SA (Proud Boys and MAGA thugs) would be threatening them. That's why a unified state-level security service should be created ASAP.
What if the Blue States formed a coalition and we do our own trade deal with Canada/Mexico separate from Trump's Tariffs?? We need a shadow government of the blue states.
Cancel your subscription to Amazon, delete FB, Insta, X & Paypal - stop buying from Home Depot, U-Line & any other business that is pro-Trump. The only thing these fuckers care about is money: be sure they dont get any of yours.
Contact your House Rep, Senators, and state gov and RAISE SOME CAIN! Governors actually do have quite a bit of power, and Dem govs have formed a coaltion to resist Trump's BS, like not playing along with ICE - local govs are refusing to go along with ICE also.
Call him out in casual conversation: Trumps high egg prices Trumps airplane crashes Trumps deportation orders. Hang everything on him and turn the tide on the non cultists
1. Boycott large corporations
2. Prepare for the midterm elections and be an informed voter
3. Continue to be loud, call your representatives, post online about your outrage, keep your friends informed.
Contact your senators and congressional reps. Tell them orange idiot and his buddy are unacceptable, hammer them every time you see something you think is wrong,vote blue, there is a lot you can do
This - I can’t understand how he was just allowed to walk in and do this..? What back doors was he installing? And for what purpose? This should have even the worst sycophants of the GOP alarmed
If you could run the DNC, and your goal was to win back the house in the Senate during the midterm election elections…. What would you do differently that they’re not doing right now???
Possible. But the battle has just started, the ending is not predetermined. All reasonable Americans, courts, some voices in Congress, many dedicated public servants, and the sheer stupidity of our adversary give me hope.
Do you think the folks saying not to take the fork memo are as knowledgeable as they say they are? Do you know any lawyers collecting potential plaintiffs on this?
A general strike is being planned. When we get the numbers we need, we shut down the whole country. Nobody works, shops, travels, nothing.
If we get at least 3.5% of the population on board, it will be effective. The more the better.
I've called.
We need people with power to OPEN THEIR MOUTHS!!
Even if we lose.
START SCREAMING, DEMS IN CONGRESS!!
They should be FREAKING OUT EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Dem leaders ⬇️
Get on the media..scream it every day!! Get in the streets...scream it every day! Get on the floor of Congress ...scream it!!
I agree but Biden understands the government and the laws way better than we do. Plus I can’t imagine the unrest that EO would unleash. This is what the (small) majority of the US votes for. Now we all have to take the lumps.
So, instead of setting a bad precedent, we have a total corporate oligarchy. They will act as vulture capitalists, breaking the US into 50 pieces & selling those parts to the highest bidders.
Why are news organizations pushing out longtime anchors like Jim Acosta and Chuck Todd? At a time when news coverage is more important than ever, they are cutting costs!
What happened? Trump is now unrestrained with a cabinet full of evil yes man criminal appointees. He has said if people march in the street, he will turn the national guard and military on our own citizens. Shooting protesters without hesitation!😱
Seems to me these tariffs are going to be chaotic!
A jar of peanut butter is produced in Montreal using peanuts from Georgia and labeled with the brand of a US company. Is it a 🇨🇦or a 🇺🇲 product?
A car part crosses the border a dozen times as a car is assembled. Is the car 🇨🇦or🇺🇲?
Your thoughts?
The objective is to end the USA.
USA comms are down, computers compromised, government non-functional. The objective of the tariffs is to isolate USA from its allies.
The objective is destruction of USA. Once you accept that, everything is predictable.
F.Y.I. RFK Jr is 100% correct on fluoridation http://fluoridealert.org/issues/health and food safety. He is the only one who wants to do something about them. He needs a chance to try
There is no way in HELL Trump's rich donors, chem and pesticide manufacturers are going to accept ANY regulation from RFKjr. Trump won't let it happen because the donors bought deregulation.
The only strategy that makes sense to me is that some of them are picking their fights & focusing their energy on the worst ones. Maybe they think it puts them in a better position when they try to persuade the few more moderate republicans to vote no on RFKJr, Gabbard, & Patel.
Ripping out the spinal cord and aorta of the federal government right in front of us. This ain’t a policy dispute. They are dismantling the core of how government operates.
It’s completely illegal. Demand your representatives call it out.
I wrote Tillis complaining about the prospect of Matt Gaetz being in the cabinet & got a response about the senator's duty to fill positions & looking forward to working with f47. He then promised Hegseth's SIL that her testimony would change votes, but voted for the dude-putting SIL in danger.
Even though these GOPers are hopeless, please keep calling them. The pressure has to be relentless. It’s not that we expect calls to change their mind on a specific thing. But they can’t be allowed to be comfortable and think everyone is fine with what they are doing. Silence = Consent
After his Hegseth vote, outraged, I called & found 2 of his 3 voice mailboxes full. So, I used the #2 box on his directory, which wasn't full- "use this option if you are a constituent who needs my help with another government agency". I & the 91,000 troops stationed here, have DOD issues. Oops.😎🤷♀️
Even though these GOPers are hopeless, please keep calling them. The pressure has to be relentless. It’s not that we expect calls to change their mind on a specific thing. But they can’t be allowed to be comfortable and think everyone is fine with what they are doing. Silence = Consent
What is going on at Treasury right now? Is anyone who has power of any kind concerned? Or more than concerned? Seems they are breaking things at breakneck speed - for obvious reason.
For some reason the possible investigation & demotion of General Milley has really hit me along with the firing of FBI agents. What protections do these people have? How dangerous is it for the Vindmans?
I’m not hopeful we’ll ever have another democratic president. He has no one stopping him from doing whatever he wants. In 4 yrs they’ll surely have voting tabulation machines hacked (if they don’t already). Where the outrage from democrats?
They took General Milley's rank? I read his security & clearance was pulled, but I didn't realize that affected his rank. I seriously hate Trump & all his lackies.
They plan to investigate him and try to demote him by taking away a star which will affect his pension, etc. It isn't done yet but I am not holding my breath that it won't be done.
1934 Germany, Adolf Hitler ordered a purge of the Nazi party to install loyalists. It was called The Night of the Long Knives. From there, the Nazi Party spread fear and intimidation through the marginalization of Jews, ethnic minorities, educators, and those with mental disabilities. Donald Trump.
Seriously the rate they are going there will never be the next election or any other party in power. Is nothing being done anywhere to stop this madness?
Dems are opposing and litigating. Check out Marc Elias and Democracy Docket. The courts have pushed back, The dems are working their asses off trying to stop his appointees. The DNC seems to not have direction but I'm hopeful about Lincoln project, https://etc.to get word out. MSNBC is doing great coverage.
I also lament if their goal is to run Putin style federal elections, guess who’s never leaving power? Fat hitler won’t live forever, and will be replaced by an even worse version who is smart. And that’s terrifying. It feels like even if we take action, nothing stops them.
He wants to federalize the elections so that he can run elections like Putin, including stuffing ballot boxes, but it's going to take a really long time to consolidate 10s of thousands of boards, many who understand it's what keeps elections safe.
Problem is that the Constitution is open to interpretation. Also, he is violating so much & so fast that I fear some things will slide & become the new norm. No one can keep up with it. I am definitely donating to Democracy Docket, ACLU. Volunteering in my firms pro bono programs.
That's what the Article V Convention fixes for them. NC ratified on Dec 30, but we're still 19 states short.
It's why presidential elections are relatively unimportant compared to your state House and Senate, whose elections are MUCH more frequent, just less sexy and more work to be informed about.
I think even the election boards in the counties that make up Empty Greene's district - arguably some of the most garbage Americans we have - are unlikely to roll over for Shitler, at least without some strongly worded capitulation.
The reason I don’t think the big accounts talk this way is because of the same reason the government wouldn’t tell us if we had a week to live before an asteroid hit us. The chaos, run on banks (even tho stupid) stock market crash would be overwhelming.
I don’t know. I was a local candidate. The incumbent in our very red county that is a power feed to Tallahassee was strutting about the county saying he was getting 60% of the vote. There were no polls. That 60/40 split sure was consistent around the country
Relying on the mid-terms seems naïve to me. There'll be riots in the streets, increased violence, which he'll use to declare martial law/state of emergency, and suspend elections.
That's the thing. The suppressing was just part of it. Stealing the election involved many parts. It was meant to be chaotic. Write down all that happened & include the money. Where does it lead? You know where I'm going with this.
I adore you, Angry, but I don’t think you’re right on this one.
It was rigged AND suppressed. They cheated and still lost in 2020. They were not going to leave 2024 to chance with so much on the line. (Prison for life!)
Your reassurance makes me feel somewhat more confident. Not ready to quit fighting yet. Appreciate what you and all of the other influential accounts do to hold us together.
Ahh, but in two years the MAGA billionaires, Russians and Qataris will sponsor more "genocide Joe" nonsense among young women, trans-panic and faux caravans. Young "progressives" will stay home or vote Green. Young men will don their jackboots, and vote Musk. And newly-poor farmers will vote GOP
Yeah but that was your advice last time--just show up--& those of us who read you actually thought we were going to do it (living in bubble, etc). We showed up but they showed up more, even after his 1st horror show term
Thank you Angry.
The media has to not crumble before Monday afternoon because I submitted a picture of my nine-year-old mother meeting my foster cat and they accepted to put it on the air! There had better not be any stupid breaking news to interrupt it like there was today.
This is my worry. I am terrified they are setting up a situation where Democracy will never win elections, if there even are any, …and I am not even American! I can’t believe that the elected officials are not fighting back. We have all seen this before, in Germany in the 1930s. Scared for the world
According to reporting by Greg Palast, "red states" suppressed/disenfranchised ⬆️⬆️3 million voters. According to his research, Trump would have lost the Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania n Georgia& Harris would have won with 286 electoral votes if not for the shenanigans. https://www.gregpalast.com/
I’m beside myself with the fbi news…my parents were agents. These people were so ethical and totally apolitical. Literally, and often annoyingly to me, rule and law followers…rule of law was the thing. (And i know some agents aren’t like that but i really believe most are)
i awakened the day after the announcement steaming about the milley thing. i don't know if i was dreaming about it. when i checked on it they were just 'looking into' lowering the rank but hadn't actually done it. now i need to check again.🤬
One thing I have learned, if they are talking about it...they are going to do it unless they hear a huge uproar. Even "investigating" is an insult. I haven't seen no pushback. I hope there is internal pushback in the DOD.
I tried to find out if Cassidy Hutchinson got a pardon, but could not find it anywhere. Does anyone know? She's not wealthy and if they attack her, how will she hire a lawyer? And if she receives threats, how will she pay for security?
I don't think she was pardoned but I know this Congress wanted to issue a subpoena but stopped because Congress people had sent her harassing sexually explicit emails that would be released if she testified. So she may have some protection with that.
It's time for democratic governments in the United States to start proactively fighting back against the Fascist coup in progress,
CA, NY, IL, MI, CT, CA, MA, OR, WA.. willing to join in should create a state equivalent of the Secret Service. Let's call it the Unified States Security Service.
Call your legislators, majority and minority leaders, and your state leaders!!!! Again and again. That’s what I’ll be doing - what he is doing is SO ILLEGAL and a threat to national security!!!!!
Ha ha ha, says the gal who lives in Florida.
--Rick Scott doesn't answer calls, or emails with anything but Repuke BS.
--Ashley Moody's VM box is FULL. She's keeping Rubio's chair warm.
--My House rep is literally trying to get Trump's face on Rushmore.
--Ron DeSantis. No elaboration needed.
My legislators are totally fine with what Musk is doing. They want him to do more. How is calling them going to change anything? ( I've been calling and emailing both of them for years. ) Republicans do not care if the people suffer. They want trump, musk, and project 2025.
This is stupid, but what do we even say to them? I’m in Ohio😖 so ashamed we gave everyone VD (Vance Douchebag)… the entire state leadership is corrupt to the core
I said (paraphrased) - I am calling because I am extremely alarmed by reports that elon musk a private individual is making decisions impacting federal employees, agencies and funding, without legal authority, security clearance or congressional approval. This sounds both illegal/unconstitutional.
I demand an investigation into how and why a private individual is able to send unsecured emails with unapproved financial offers for resignation to federal employees and why a private individual is allowed to lock agency officials out of computer systems.
I don’t understand why Trump allows him to do this since, in his mind, he’s the only person who knows what needs to be done. Why allow Musk to take the power?
I’m not being a jerk when I ask this because I think the same thing but if you could pick anybody to stop Elon Musk, who would it be and what do you think they could do? Democrats could barely get clean energy bills passed with a majority.
WE have to stop him. People need to stand up in the street and at the offices of their Congress members. No one is coming to save us! No one is left. Just us.
Can you imagine how the heads would be spinning and spitfire rage the GOP would be throwing if a Dem administration was doing this?
It’s their inability to “put the shoe on the other foot” that infuriates me. Their loyalty and kissing the ring of the most dangerous man has done great harm
We need someone with ovaries to do it. Ovaries are tougher. They can handle a punch. They don't shrink under pressure. They're controlled by the brain. And they understand that timing is everything.
I'm hoping there's planning going on behind the scenes. I know we have to choose our battles, but the last 3 days is insanity! What power does Congress have?
Held on to the hope that Garland was quietly working to hold him accountable for years. How foolish of me! No longer believe anyone is doing anything. It is up to us now. Fight back! Take to the streets! We can’t let this happen to our children and grandchildren.
Garland began investigating him as soon as he became AG on March 11th. Trump, Pence & others held things up in the courts. Garland did his job. SCOTUS fucked us. I believe there are protests in every state planned for next week. Let's go!
But. Why? It would just take a group to do it all at once. Margaret Chase Smith spoke against McCarthy. Edward R Murrow did, too. Woodward & Bernstein did it and stopped Nixon. Who's the one who will do it now?
YOU'RE RIGHT! So, EVERYONE, EVERYDAY.. write all parties of your state, senators, governors, local, etc.voicing your concerns and opinions. Reminding them WHO will be voting in the midterms! IF enough of us keep on harassing them, MAYBE THEY'LL submit to the pressure or eat at their conscience
The congress members that tried to overthrow our country in 2020🤔, it’s not that they don’t have the courage or the power, it’s their role in aiding and abetting treason.
Remember all those huge zoom meetings for Harris? Bring those back with guidance for consistent, effective, loud messaging for us to take to the fight!
But the tricky thing is to call red senators who represent your district. We need more constituents en force calling red senators and demanding accountability and action.
The House could threaten to impeach him, or do it. Speaker Johnson would have to allow it, and it would need enough Republicans votes along with Dems.
But Johnson doesn’t have the courage or integrity to do that. Rs could remove and replace him but that’s unlikely.
They do have the power, though.
Rep. Daniel Goodman (D) is actually on Twitter X telling us what Elon is doing currently...In the payroll of Social Security! It's like they are looking for advice from us?! Sheesh. I personally don't trust Elon is is a thin skinned a-hole.
I don’t get it. Trump cannot move forward if everyone stands ups giants him, crazy, MAGAts lunatic followers or not. Why is no one standing up against him. He is a crazy, weak old man who has allowed another maniac South African to take over OUR government.
They are absolutely responsible….so is Mitch McConnell for not convicting him when they HAD THE CHANCE.
I’m calling his office too. Maybe we should all foo that. Beg him to gather 27 votes to convict the traitor in a 3rd impeachment. He could literally be remembered as a hero.
This is not right. I don’t get it. Those with authority to stop this madness are afraid of the Orange Menace so they’d rather let the entire country get destroyed? Did I get that right? Unbelievable!!! 😤
It makes no sense to me either. We’re all going to die totally preventable, premature and pointless deaths whether or not we fight back. We may as well fight and maybe have some kind of future. Because what they have in mind for us isn’t it
I have no proof and I’m not about the storm the Capitol like those January 6 domestic terrorist, but I feel it in my heart and soul that Elon Musk rigged this election and I will go to my grave believing that even if no proof ever shows up.
There’s no way Trump received 13M more votes than last time. Something def fishy but then again I don’t want to act like the deplorables did re ‘20 election.
That’s not true. There are people documenting everything they experience & people that save the day will be all of us. I’m not talking about next election. We talk to state AGs & support those on front lines by not going to “it’s all over place”. We know how serious it is-leave negativity to them.
I think that too but the democrats don’t want to be calling out election rigging like the maga-morons and instigate another insurrection- which will only happen if dems find out that election interference happened and NO ONE DID ANYTHING about it. We are in such a fucked up timeline.
Everyone tells me to let this go. That it makes me sound like the 2020 deniers, but I’ll go to my grave believing Elon fixed the votes in Pennsylvania.
Infuriating! I intend to vote against EVERY. SINGLE. INCUMBENT. Who hasn't stepped up. That means almost all but AOC. And she's not in my district. Neither is Kinzinger. I donated to Ossof & he's not in my district. How do we get Katie Porter back in Congress?
No more social security, food stamps, welfare, grants, interest payments on bonds, rent for buildings, mortgages, salaries, benefits, infrastructure, permits, you name it.
They will never make an announcement like that; they will continue holding elections just like Putin does, all the while cosplaying like we're still a democracy.
None in government. The last guardrail is the American people. Are they going to be asleep at the wheel like they were in the 2024 election? Let’s wait and see …
That may be a little over the top. This was likely pilot error / situational confusion, with multiple contributing factors such as inadequate ATC, complex routing, ambient factors, traffic, etc.
If it bleeds, it leads. This is extra true when the alternative is dancing in Trump's crosshairs.
Until they get to the Supreme Court, obviously the Supreme Court already bought and paid for with Thomas, and Alito would be Hitler’s choice for chief Justice.
I have noticed that every time Kamala shows up somewhere, it gets covered. The media still has an appetite for her. She needs to start meeting w/ elected Dems in a BIG way. There's an absence of leadership right now. Let Kamala fill it like Trump did w/Repubs the last 4 years.
She’s in top 5 of cable news and avg around 2 mil viewers right now (down a little from normal.) BlueSky has had spikes in new users since she promoted it. She’s giving airtime to resistance orgs like Indivisible who are likely growing their ranks as a result…
what I mean is SCOTUS isn't about to let Dunce push them around, they've got their own agenda for better or worse(interesting how many times Drumpf's own SCOTUS picks voted against him).
Recently called my scared of trump magat Congress person and left a long winded message in which I repeated several times, “Checks and balances. Checks and balances.” 😂😭
one of the things that is really crazy is all the big companies folding & paying him millions that he sued them for rather than fighting, because they don't want to be penalized further. i cannot believe all he has gotten away with. is scotus still happy w/all the freedom they've given him? 😳 🙄 😳
yes, thank goodness, the courts R doing well. but i've heard, that is the point: trump doing as many things as can B done, & see if the courts do anything, & if they don't, he knows how much more he can do 😳 🙄 😳
@propublica.org and @us.theguardian.com are standing up, speaking out, & investigating full tilt. They are donor based, so your sustaining $$ are used to maintain and grow their reporting reach. They don't have paywalls, so support them!
Take all money out of the stock market now. Drain your 401k and put it in a credit union. The stock market is where all of the wealth for these evil fascists is held, and we can bankrupt them. Drain your 401k and bankrupt these Nazis. Do it now. We are quickly running out of time.
We can't count on any Democrats except AOC and Rankin to even put up half a fight. I canceled all my donations to ActBlue. Every Democrat should have a mic in their face like crazy ass MTG!
Fuck this talk shit. We gotta protest and take it to the streets!
I’m seeing that all our officials have done nothing to protect us 1. on 1/6 when we KNEW something would happen. Not enough police to protect the Capitol. 2. Our election when we KNEW they would rig it. No recounts! No investigations. 3. Trump would destroy us and, again, just letting it happen.
A few? This is scary as f*ck.
Please explain to me why we weren’t prepared for the firehose of horrific undoings of our country? We knew p2025, dem insiders have known for years how dangerous they are. I’m a half glass full girl but I am having a difficult time finding any reason to be optimistic.
If Musk tampers with our money…say Social Security, Medicare or anything else, we need to stop paying ALL bills, no mortgage payment, car payment, credit cards, nothing. I have lots of candles and a fire table to cook on in case utilities get turned off. We should be ready for anything.
Musk sure did. He counted ballots, then changed ballots, and even gave us oligarchs to represent us. Guess he deserved thanks. I would like to give him something too, but it is not thanks.
trump won't deport his partner in crime who helped him cheat to win an election-he has the goods & the only thing trump can do is murder him-but Musk would make sure the info went public if that happens.
So, it's a mutually assured destruction deal they have.
No. You should be calling and writing your electeds at every level (local state federal) daily. Pick a person each day. A different one the next. Call friend and foe.
Do you think it’s even worth it to call Cornyn, Cruz, or Michael McCaul(he’s my congressional rep). Stressful 12 days and the longest month ever! I am horrified about FBI, AG, and DNI noms(all of them really) but none of them seem to care about laws anymore.
I agree, what phone calls have worked so far? Has it stopped the purges of our government or any of the confirmations? NO
He's breaking the law left and right and no one is stopping him.
We need a HUGE PROTEST that lasts as many days as is required
I fear if we don't and soon, all is lost.
The problem with the ideas re:protests➡️ Drumpf and his minions are just waiting for smallest indicator to declare martial law. A protest with a huge number (not just a couple dozen they could easily arrest on some bogus charges) against Trump would be the "perfect" excuse. This is Orbon playbook.
Small protests like they're advocating for 2/5 would be less than an annoying fruit fly that they wouldn't spare the energy to swat away. And yes, he could and probably would declare martial law against a large one, this in turn would galvanize many more
I don't think even the repugs could turn away
EMPHATICALLY YES! They are watching who’s calling and from which zip codes. Your script: I’m in zip xxxxx and I want you to vote NO on RFK, Tulsi gabbard, and Kash Patel.” That’s it. Staffs put tick marks on a sheet. I called yesterday about nominations and today telling them to get musk out of DC.
Email isn’t as impactful. Cornyn’s DC office vm was full both days. I called NTX office both days. Cruz DC office vm was taking msgs. I didn’t call @juliejohnsontx.bsky.social cuz I heard her talk this week; she’s laser focused on issues. But call your reps and don’t forget txlege shitshow.
I left messages for my 3 idiots who rep my state/cong district but I was polite. I also left a msg. for @whitehouse.senate.gov to VOTE NO on RFK Jr. Country before party, even when you are BFFs, Mr. Whitehouse. Live up to that name- you want integrity then you have to practice what thou preach! 🙏🏼🇺🇸🦅
It’s starting to feel less and less like we’ll get through this intact. Will the dem leaders fight back? Aside from”Call your elected officials” what is there to do? I’m in TN and they don’t care.
I am in Fl. and contacted Senator Rick Scotts's office. Got a email- While we appreciate the opportunity to be of assistance, we encourage you to reach out directly to your home state U.S. Senator for review and response-The jackass is my senator!!! I hate being in a red state!
I’m not sure that even works. I’m in Illinois. Called my senators today about the nominations. Both of them said that I needed to wait for an agent, then after several minutes, said no one was available and sent me to voice mail. Where I was told the mail of was full.
Republican or Democratic members of Congress do not know if or how you voted. Simply let them you are 'a concerned voter.' This situation is just awful. All these representatives need to go…
I’ll share a Reddit post from an hour ago with you—watch the YouTube video linked below. Share it.
My wife is a giving, smart lady, does a lot of good for local people in need and organizations that need help. Every time a breaking news come on the screen, I see her worry and fear. She just asked me, “where do I go to march?”. All 105 lbs of this 66 year old woman. How have we gotten to this?
I feel like the Democratic Party is lost in the wilderness. Something needs to change. What or who is needed to bring them back to real relevance? Preferably something more than just Trump imploding.
We know they’re useless enablers. They only care when bad things happen to people they care for. Nancy Reagan didn’t give a shit about stem cell research until Ronnie got Alzheimer’s. But if Trump goes too far on certain things they will push back. That’s one of the few things working in our favor.
Some thoughts. Bring a message that’s relevant to the American electorate. Start going on non traditional media like Joe Rogan, we aren’t reaching anyone new carping on MSNBC 24/7. Take tough questions on these platforms and get good at answering them. Other stuff I don’t have space for…
Most of us here are tuned in already. It’s people who listen to Joe Rogan, it’s Hispanic Men, it’s the working man in Macomb county Michigan… who is reaching out to those people with a relevant message that is an alternative to the Orange Prick? While we’re at it we need to ditch this elitist thing.
Then you aren’t looking. They have been everywhere.. speeches on the floor-press conferences and shows. The House is in recess & at home but still holding press conferences. Unfortunately the media is attracted to Trump as a shiny object.
Democrats have no power to stop them. We the voters made sure of that by not showing up. They backed off the freeze because the republicans phones were ringing off the hook. Have you called?
For real, I thought I was paying pretty good attention, but then there’s a lot going on and I can see how I might have missed some recent platitudes from Dem leadership
What do you expect them to do to save you when the electorate gave them no power and allowed Republicans to control both Houses of Congress and the Executive Branch?
I want to see them flooding the news and online outlets screaming bloody murder right now. We are all here screaming into the void. We don't have access to airwaves.
What we/they have been doing for the past couple of decades hasn’t been working. Time for something new. They still have platforms, they need to figure out.
The Tariff’s that are taking effect tomorrow. Do you think Trump expected Canada and Mexico to come groveling to him to make a deal? How much of a shit storm do you think this will this be?
He didn't care. His plan is to destroy the US economy so the tariffs were always going to stay. Musk announced before the election they were going to crash the economy.
If they last for any appreciable amount of time, it’s going to be bad. Canada and Mexico have both vowed retaliatory tariffs, too - and I can’t imagine China is going to NOT respond.
He’s also threatening EU tariffs which is absolutely insane.
Is the point of all of this to isolate the US from our allies so Trump can condition MAGA to lovingly welcome Russia as our "new ally and friend when everyone else abandoned us?"
No but Putin clearly owns Trump so having our military and resources on his side is all he cares about. And since Trump only cares about himself, he'd happily go along with it.
They bankrolled Trump for years and have loads of komprimat on him and his cronies. They have been grooming him as a “useful idiot” for decades now. This is what they want as their big payoff - take over North America with minimal effort.
I hope Canada and Mexico retaliate. Maybe that will finally get Trump voters attention. Wonder if they’ve been told Musk has all their social security numbers and data??
If this nonsense continues and the oil companies don't make Trump back down, I hope Trudeau is all in with everything on the table. I want our politicians to remain absolutely focussed on punishing the USA economically. Bonus, we get rid of interprovincial trade barriers! #CanadaForTheWin #cdnpoli
Yeah me too. I have family in the US. Canada buys most stuff from the USA, but we're literally taking pictures of what we are buying and showing each other how to shop without buying anything American. Plus, you buy your oil from us so gas is going to cost you. Oh, and electricity. #Sorry #cdnpol
IMO they shouldn’t impose blanket retaliatory tariffs but target certain company’s like the EU did last time. Harley Davidson was one. Tariff his mates only.
Apparently Canada is ready to shut US auto plants down. Lots of parts made in Windsor. Same w Mexican auto parts. Maybe the union members should have listened to Sean.
Trump didn't run on this bs. He ran on the economy, high price of groceries/eggs & immigration. I will repeat, no one voted for this bs, not even MAGA's
I respectfully disagree. I was there, listening to what he & Vance were saying. And yes they did say this was their plan. I never really heard him promise to reduce prices, he never said how he'd help people with housing or medical costs. He promised a dictatorship from day 1. With actual words.
I can’t afford them now. Or fruit and I’m in Florida! I was in hospital the beginning of January and I ordered a big ole fruit plate about 4 times 😂 with yogurt in the center for dipping . That’s the most fruit I ate in all of 2024 😂😂😂
I approve of this division. I have cousins in Quebec anyway. My dad and his brother joked about visiting them for 4 years the last time Trump was president. Now my uncle is gone, and my dad too feeble to make the trip.
as an aside. i go to this 'small appliance' fixer & hv for years. he has always LOVED the 'parts' he gets from mexico. he says china's R junk & take far longer to B delivered (he said this pre covid).
We crossed into Canada yesterday by car something we have done hundreds of times as dual citizens for the first time we were pulled over for a random car search
I'm sorry, but I don't see how you'll recover from this.
While USA was litigating Assange, this Afrikaner was bought by your same enemies.
And now your country's institutions do not exist anymore :
This is the end of it.
Or as Peter Thiel put it "decrepit system":
Coffee, mangoes, avocados, limes. We freeze dried everything but the coffee. We already had a bunch of shelf stable stuff (rural-ish, nearest grocery is half hr away, so we keep stocked).
The real two-year goal for the Trump Cabal before he becomes a mid-term lame duck. We could see Trump being asked to resign or face impeachment by his own party. The blow-back will be real because this will cause massive stock market losses and hurt everyone, including his wealthy supporters.
Dear #china, #norway, #opec, and #Brasil if Trump enacts
his tariffs and Canada and Mexico stop being its main suppliers please take this opportunity to charge the hell out of the US! Take them for everything… They attacked their closest allies today they WILL attack you tomorrow
Plus it’s another grift—he exempts companies run by people who have donated to him and sticks it to companies run by people who haven’t. His buddies will all be lining up on Monday with their exemption forms filled out and ready to be filed.
It doesn’t matter if Mexic, Canada, and China come groveling.
When he lifts the tariffs, he’s going to say they did. That they told him he was a powerful genius. And it was Biden’s woke fault they were implemented, and Trump saved us from them.
My wife wanted to have our kitchen remodeled this year. With an expected labor shortage and higher prices for the appliances, etc, we will likely postpone that spending a few years.
BAD. Just absorbing 25% increase w no retaliatory tariffs, it’s gonna be rough. Ppl who voted for lower prices are in for a big surprise! Some items expected to get more expensive: lumber, fruit, milk, vegetables, fruit juices, dairy products, cereal, eggs, beer, liquor https://search.app/Qpi48zq9fwQyQkUs5
Yes, but he's miscalculated. The size of the shit storm depends on tariff rates, which products are involved, length of duration, and Canada and Mexico's response. Tariffs will be incremental. Prices will go up, and people will be angry. Make no mistake, Canada and Mexico can hurt us!
I’m seeing lots of upset Canadians posting their distress about the tariffs and wondering how Americans are letting this happen. It’s so upsetting. They are our neighbors and allies - they shouldn’t be treated this way! 💙🇺🇸
Before bed my husband read me some news quotes with him saying there wasn’t anything that could be done to stop the tariffs. He’s not looking for negotiations. I don’t even know if he’s made actual demands?
Whole lotta folks about to lose their jobs - and probably a whole lot of folks who voted for (or failed to vote against) the mechanism of their own destruction.
On the bright side, MAGA might start feeling some kinda way about shit when it all goes south. Maybe they'll storm #9.
He definitely thinks they will come and try to make a deal and declare a victory even if nothing is really accomplished with the deal.Hes terrible at business,just good at marketing.hopefully co-prez Elon will talk him down if there is no deal made.
He doesn’t know what “deal”he’s looking for. He’s an idiot. He just wants attention, chaos and to “win”. He’s surrounded by backward-thinking, yes-men and equally vile con artists. Everyone else suffers. Canadians will never bow down to this asshole. We will find a way to screw him. Fuck Trump! 🇨🇦
The thing with the tariffs is they are what will hurt ALL of us. Including his followers. It is going to suck ballzzzzz, BUT the sooner it sucks for his followers the sooner they will start turning on him. (I hope)
Do you think in light of this happening tonight that Republicans will have a come to Jesus moment and not vote in these lunatics especially Gabbard and Patel… Of course Kennedy
Too. Vought please. Lordy!
My GOP Senator, Thom Tillis, was supposedly one of the ones who might be swayed, but the form letters I've gotten from his office are all "the people wanted Trump so I support his choices" crap
"The people" who wanted Trump are only 23% of the population. If they keep this up, they may reap the awakening of the 36.33% of eligible voters who didn't bother.
I emailed him (his voicemail was not taking calls/full or turned off) on voting No for Kennedy confirmation and I didn’t even get a form letter response. No response at all.
The evidence says yes. The results don't pass the smell test. Enthusiasm, crowd sizes, country wide excitement all have told the same story before an election. The candidate with all those wins. Every time. Trump had none of them. He wasn't even trying. Add in all the hints he gave us. "I don't need
Your votes" "We have all the votes we need already" "Musk is very good with those VOTE COUNTING computers". He's NEVER won the popular vote. Im sure he told Musk to make sure he wins the popular vote because of his narcissism. It bothered him immensely that he could never win the popular vote.
I’m with you. Yes I think Elon is slithering behind the scenes probably preparing to steal all our money. Plus installing equipment to spy on Dems in Congress. Trump’s people are checking things off of their Project 2025 list. If Dems are sneaking around doing things they are ineffective!
Jeffries and Schumer are running in front of cameras spewing useless words for which there is no backup. I'm almost at the point where I think they're just deliberately calming us down so we don't rise up against all this.
I may be slightly off on the details, but essentially, it was the first election with computerized tabulation, and a drug cartel made a deal with the PRI candidate to hack the computers and ensure his win. Even at the time, it was seen as obviously fraudulent.
Purging the Justice Department, FBI and Treasury Department head quit because Election wanted the passcode to the Government’s checkbook that pays Medicare, Social Security benefits, Veterans Benefits and all other federal funds that go toward all Americans!
“Wilding” is still soft-pedaling. But sobering points here - not many options. Main one: lots of people making lots of noise, on the street, in the courts, & in the faces of Congress. Cannot stress the urgency enough! IT’S A COUP.
On the former, it would take a long time / large numbers boycotting to make a difference. But worth trying!
On the latter, yes. Yet I am afraid it will be necessary. To force the military to decide whose side they are on. This is the only thing that has ultimately worked to remove autocrats.
The problem I see are the people in our society who believe that business as usual is working. It certainly doesn't appear that way given what has happened in the past few days.
Indeed - media hasn’t put the picture together yet. The spending freeze persists; and if Musk starts disrupting the government’s payment system, maybe they will start to notice.
Yeah-it def is taking a toll. I am now having to do breathing exercises, switching to decaf, due to increased heart rate & need a 🍷 every night to take the edge off. Scary times!
There most DEFINITELY is something going on behind the scenes. If you and I know what Trump and Musk have been up to, the leaders of our party sure as hell have investigated. The problem is the remedy will have to start from outside the country. Election interference is a worldwide problem.
How in gods name could ANYONE think otherwise. They absolutely stole the election. That we didn't investigate..beyond the debacle that was Merrick Garland... will end up being the demise of our country. The entire world sees this.
How long do you think before all media as we know it is I obsolete? Do you believe there will be any good guys from the top that will do anything to save this country..or wishful thinking?
SHUTDOWN 3/15
Share. Repost, spread the word. No one makes a dime on March 15. Let’s shut it down for the day. It’s a Saturday so most aren’t working. SHUTDOWN ONLY WORKS IF WE ALL PARTICIPATE.
I didn’t pick the date. I’m just helping get the word out but without enough notice, it won’t be effective. It’s been in the works for a while and I don’t think anyone realized how fast things would start changing. So, we start now and buy only what we need locally. We do what we can now.
I'm hearing February 5th too.
It's a week day and people are working. I'd love it to be such a big deal that they pour out of their offices, walk out of their work area...pour into the streets.
It's a dream at this point.
March seems so far away.
But I'm in!!!...if the world doesn't end first.
I mean great idea & all...but like, a month and a half away? We're on day 10 here with an unelected billionaire n**i saluting business destroyer installing hard-drives into sensitive govt computers & locking out career govt officials& employees, ones not yet fired that is. So...idk, 3/15 seems, far
I didn’t pick the date. I’m just helping spread the word. This has been in the works and yes, a lot has happened quickly. If we don’t have time to get the word out it will be pointless. In the meantime, only buy what you need locally if possible. Amazon Prime members are down. Do what we can now.
I hear that, and know organizing takes time! Apologies, it's just been, a lot of heinous stuff in like 10 days and all & hoping for swifter responses. I know things are in the works. Totally onboard & also spreading the word about midmarch ♥️
I’m hearing about a “walk out” protest on 2/5. I don’t know much about it but I’m going to search around. You should also. It’s a physical in the street protest I believe whereas 3/15 is a boycott.
That is certainly one benefit of supporting our allies in the US beyond championing their safety and human rights. Global action is needed to demonstrate unchecked power will not be tolerated in order to limit the spread of such toxic leadership abroad
If our democracy has been destroyed, like it seems it has, does NOT paying our taxes count as fighting domestic terrorism or enemy within? How many of us want to line Elmo’s pockets.
Ah-HA!
The only thing I can add is do not mess with tax reporting or payment without getting specific legal advice from an expert tax attorney. Unless your income is over a few million a year,* you can expect the IRS to pounce if you refuse to report or pay.
* Only a teensy bit facetious here. AARGH
It definitely would be complicated… as all banking is based on SS numbers & Elmo already has the treasury department. But it’s really nice to think about
Pretty sure that will be a lot easier said than done, especially with the amount of cooperation that has occurred between North American manufacturers constructing products out of parts that originate on both sides of the border...
I have been trying to figure out today whether to file my taxes and I am sure I will owe even though I have paid too. I think the IRS won't exist after this mess with Musk. I don't want him accessing our info and getting our money!
my 'natural grocers' recently gave away a tin of sardines. they were out of the tuna. the sardines were packed in water. i thought 'ewww'. when i got home i tried them, (i added olive oil), & decided i wanted to buy more. they've bn out for the last two weeks. EVERYONE must hv loved those sardines.😀
I have been in contact with my Senators and Reps on the Federal AND STATE LEVEL. Red states will panic , some already are , they have to call the trump vote of being primaries doesn’t matter if the voters en masse say”’my kid hasn’t eaten, I can’t get my meds . Keep tge Hestvon your elected offici
Hi! I’m Angry too! How did we get here? Where are the checks and balances?
My Two Part Question:
(A) When it comes to Trump, do you think there is a LINE that even Republicans won’t cross?
(B) Do you think our Elected Democrats will actually be to do something about Trump?
At what point does the public get fed up with this administrative coup and a revolution or insurgency start? Because this stuff is crazy and scary. I can't imagine that certain highly trained people in the populace don't draw a line in the sand before we reach a tipping point.
I am in UK and watching in horror, thinking of you all. Musk is just like the villain in any James Bond film. I never thought this would happen in real life
When a really uneducated and unread person needs non-stop attention and thinks he is smarter than everyone else. When he gets called on his dumb statements by a woman, he returns with an insult. #sociopathicnarcissist
Having worked in government for years, this really is unbelievable! They are breaking the law and getting away with it...or are they? There has to be a plan to counter what happening...surely!?
Honestly, the Dem state leadership has taken point on this bc of the vacuum created by the lack of action at the Federal level. At least that's how I read it. I read that a bunch of Dem Govs got on the horn with Schumer and read him the Riot Act.
This is the only way to fight them, I think. Federal government apparatus will be dismantled, compromised and in complete disarray in a matter of weeks.
wow..that last sentence..hadn't heard that dem govs contacted schumer & read him the riot act. if so..our govt is working in a very democratic way at that level. the high level people need to know what the mid level is experiencing.
Schumer whined and said they (Congress) were acting. That's my interpretation of the reporting on the convo. The deets he provided were lame and inadequate, which actually describes Schumer himself.
Shumer needs to go. I see him as a wimp. Not strategic enough. This is not the same game anymore. We need a chess pro mentality. A loud, coherent unified voice. The old guard is not able to deal with this. Thinking that we can stop this in their manner will sink us all, including MAGA.
Other some nice Constitution waving from Raskin where is the outrage? Obama? Biden? Harris? Pete? Jeffries? Nancy? No one willing to tell to the truth? All know bits of the truth thru their hearings and research as well as personal stories I am sure.
Lawsuits filed. Don’t mean they won’t be dismissed, scheduled or ever heard. Courts are filled with Trump supporters, ie SCOTUS. The only hope is to tie up legislation until…
Some have already started. 22 states have sued Trump's anti Birthright citizenship and Freeze on Federal Funds. Have you contacted your AGs and Congress people?
Why did Biden not use his Supreme Court powers and put at the very least a hold on this presidency going forward to at least look at why Elon is so prevalent in the election.
Biden wasn’t the right person for this 3 month job at this time. We needed a young psychologist/strategist to plan for the reign of a mad king, not a traditional old fashioned Catholic who should have retired two years earlier and given the opportunity to Kamala.
Trump is the only one granted immunity. Thwy would not have granted Biden anything. I still wish he retires a week prior to mess up shitlers stationary.
And the F*ing OPTICS that he and all the other Dems worried about while we all screamed for them to ignore civil discourse while fighting those who are currently killing democracy.
You're kidding, right? Look around, this swift action has to have been several years in the planning. Inmate #P01135809 is the figurehead/cult leader that got them all inside. Musk is there to break the government & sell us off for parts. Project 2025 is the christofascist state making the new laws.
This bunch of narcissistic sociopaths CAN be turned against each other, I believe. We need to stoke infighting among them whenever and wherever we can.
Holy hell!
I am completely flipped out that Elon Musk is asking for access to the Country’s check book. WTF is happening here?
I think this is a call for action - all of us need to be reaching out to ALL our Reps.
Talk me off the ledge!
I've sent an email to my Governor Janet Mills to see if we the people can protest Wednesday without a permit considering the crisis we are in. Hopefully I'll hear back.
We have reached a RED ALERT constitutional crisis. The dRump regime is in the midst of a hostile takeover of our country, in other words, a coup from the inside. Who The Fvck are our leaders? We need ACTionN!
The truth is there is very little the Democrats can do in the minority -just read a Talking Points memo and our main recourse right now are lawsuits throwing sand in the gears of this madness - and the Dems publicly acknowledging that what’s happening is bad and specifically why it’s bad
Angry, many of us are trying to figure out who or what to turn to for answers. We see the images of our culture being cancelled, families being terrorized and torn apart. What do we do???
I'm concerned about Google (& other companies) doing what Trump wants — renaming the Gulf of Mexico on US maps, and they seem to be filtering searches more than usual, and all the companies publicly denouncing their DEI policies. My question is why are so many companies bowing down to Trump?
Hey Angry, I’m concerned that my grandchildren are not going to learn real American history during this administration. My daughter has wisely been taking them to the library. Any suggestions for for how we can teach them more without overwhelming them? Museums are one thought. Also, thanks.
My fear is that with 4 years to put things in place and sycophants much more strategically placed at ALL levels….will we ACTUALLY have the capability to have a fair election in ‘28?
I can’t even think in terms of, “How did this happen?” 😱
Instead, my question is, “How do we make this stop?” It’s a firehose of chaos/hostile takeover, laws be damned. So how do we stabilize and have a remnant of a functioning govt?
It all too often looks like when people are extremely well-off financially, they stop caring about anyone but themselves. I don't think they'll risk what they have to save us, even though Biden and Clinton are pretty old and probably don't have many years left.
I'm frightened like never before. FBI purge puts the entire country in danger. Musk taking over government computer systems. Everything is happening so fast and no one is doing anything to stop it. Am I wrong to be in utter panic?
We have power! #WorkStopShopStop days! Protests are set 2/5 we will see how f the Military or cops bust heads! He wants a big riot! Fear proud boys and oath keepers will do what he wants.
Then we strike! 1 day first week. 2 the 2nd round. Need 78% to Work Stop Shop Stop those days!
We have power.
My revision of the oath that A.Hamilton took when he became a lawyer…I renounce all allegiance to our current federal government under the administration of Donald Trump and, instead, bear true faith and allegiance only to the United States of America as a free and independent nation. 1776 shit now.
I’m sorry. No. Waiting to “vote again” to make a change won’t be an option. People need to start making some GD noise. And Where is the dem leadership??!!?!!!!???
This is, without doubt, a damaging invasion by a malicious, hostile entity w/ no official US sanction. They need to be treated as our enemies & dealt with accordingly. No different than Hitler-Poland and Putin-Ukraine. Meet them with strength & back them down. No more "playing nice" w/ the enemy.
Unfortunately I was laid off this week, so no relief from the shitshow. In normal times I could handle that, but with all of dump’s chaos too, I think I’m a goner. 😔
I have noticed the orange one appears to have some sagging on the right side with his face/eye.....maybe a TIA?
Usually considered a warning of things to come. I do not believe he will last 4 years.
Who's to say in two years those state elections won't be hacked by the high-tech billionaires who serve Trump. We have no insurance anymore, no confidence in any of it.
I’ve been prepping myself for a dictatorship since Nov. i really didn’t think it would happen this fast. I just hope we can leave safely and not have to defect.
i once flew with a friend in a little plane to a funeral across state. i had a bouquet of flowers in my lap. three red lights started beeping & blinking. i freaked. my friend calmly said 'get out the manual'. i did, & read to him. he was able to 'fix' it. i hope there R people reading the manuals..
The thing is, I don’t think Trump is behind all of this. And JD is even more of a supplicant. Seems it may almost be better if (bites tongue) he stays in office.
Everyone who is being fired needs to stay in their jobs & fight back! All of them have done nothing whatsoever to get fired! And take this shit all the way to the Supreme Court, Federal workers have rights also!
Impeach the Orange Menace! There’s enough evidence Trump’s trying 2 weaken our national security by firing hundreds of agents who’re doing their job 2 protect the interests of our nation. This amounts to treason since our adversaries are watching & taking every opportunity 2 take advantage 2 hurt us
How will people survive if all payments from Medicaid to Head Start, Social Security, Veteran's benefits, etc. etc. are not paid. Who can get Musk out of the White House?
Even if Trump slips his mortal coil, Vance is as awful as it gets.... both a tech bro and a theo bro. The one saving grace is that he has the rizz of wet cardboard.
Part of me thinks Vance isn’t as nuts. He was agnostic and wife Hindu who suddenly became “Catholic”?! Vance just agreed with it all to get the VP spot. Trump and his crazy staff(Bannon,Miller),etc all know this and are worried. They are trying to F shit up now b4 cholesterol or Adderal kicks in. 🤷♀️
Heard people saying talk to your state’s AG to see if they can do anything about musk. Felon wouldn’t be able to pardon state prosecuting-taking confidential files, insisting civil servants break their oaths, etc. In addition to US citizenship, he’s citizen of Canada & S Africa
Even if the actuarial tables catch up with DJT, will still be left with Vance, and that little creep is bought and paid for by the Yarvin worshipping techno-feudalists who want to destroy our government.
As horrific as the Orange Menace is, he’s a complete idiot. It would actually be more frightening if he dies and JD takes over. He’s just as evil, but actually intelligent enough to do even more damage
No, you're not alone! We have a DEFINITE and legitimate reason for being scared! BUT NOT SCARED AWAY! Our country is in extreme danger. Our defense dept. should take us to DEFCON 5! I Believe it's THAT serious! And if our team doesn't take some kind of defensive action, I'm afraid we're doomed!
I think they're so overwhelmed having been caught off guard so suddenly. I'm hoping they're going to regroup and defy orders issued by trump plants. I'm hoping they'll continue to show up & force the bastards to fire them.
I think you are in good company This has been a blitzkrieg, no doubt calculated to overwhelm and stultify. I expected steady erosion, not so much so fast. Now I see why -- where to start? The dam isn't leaking, it's broken.
It's called flooding the zone. They do it on purpose to make everyone's head spin.
There are some things being done to stop it but it's going to be a bumpy ride.
No, but it’s part of their plan, so it’s not helpful. I’m shocked and numb, too, but I’ll figure out how to pick myself up and help preserve our democratic institutions. We’re in one of those times in history that will be written about forever.
This is how Hitler took control of Germany in 45 days. The Convicted Felon is following the Nazi Playbook. He is trying to beat Hitler's record. Americans need to wake up immediately to what he is doing.
Are numbers of calls more effective than emailing Congressmen? Asking for many concerned friends wishing to band together to during the Project 2025 first 100 days of shock and awe. Thanks!
They boycotted the committee vote on Vought. He was voted out of Committee by a unanimous 11-0 total - only Rs were there and only Rs voted. Next up is floor debate.
Why can’t we have Buttigieg or AOC be the official voices of the resistance? Schumer, Durbin and Pelosi are lovely humans I’m sure, but do not up to the task
Were you thinking Merrick Garland was just a little bit too cautious and should have been on SCOTUS instead? I'm afraid the reality is much harsher than that.
The thing is-Republicans work side by side w/Dems-in some cases they're friends w/some of them-so they couldn't imagine at least some wouldn't stand up to keep this country safe & a Democracy.
I'm thinking they're being threatened w/violence from MAGA J6 attacker squads.
I think we need to shame ppl into doing things. At the water cooler: "I called both of my GQP Nazi senators today. What did you do to stop the fascist take over if the country?" Tell ppl what you are doing so they are empowered to do so.
Gee thanks a lot, from all the Blue folks in "Red" states. Do you truly believe everybody in a Blue state is good & everybody in a Red state is bad? This is an ideological, not geographic war
I know that red states elected Trump and that red states are funded by blue states. FYI: I spent my childhood in a red state, so I am not speaking of the unknown. Our democracy is at stake.
It's incredibly simplistic to think in terms of Red/Blue "states". Millions in Blue states voted Trump; millions in "Red" states voted Harris. Are you telling someone like Stacey Abrams (Ga) or Jasmine Crockett (Tx) to just F off b/c they're in Red states? Yes, you are
Are you with us against us, or are you against us? Because we need to take a stand NOW. I appreciate you being a blue dot in a red state. I have been there. But, we are in uncharted territory in regards to our democracy, and I will protect my state and my democracy.
I don't remember seeing Musk's name on any ballots but here he is, a private citizen with a hotline to Putin having access to our government's computer system
You might be right, though it depends on whether enough of his cult realize they're fucked too.
If and when that happens then the Felon is fucked. My money is on Musk aka the Ketamine Kid, to be the one to cause the wheels to come off.
This is a coup already. The core of the battlefront is OPM and Treasury, plus IG purges. Taking out the personnel& taking control of the machinery of govt including $$ control. Please start reporting as such and show everyone how this is all part of a single push to take over. Cabinet is a sideshow.
Well I understand he’s being in investigated in France & Germany for election interference + not welcome in either nation. This may go to NATO & if it’s found his election interference used technology to change votes (likely here) it allows the world to look at Musk Trump-Putin cheating more easily
Impeach asap we have a blue Congress, NATO prosecutes Musk for his election interference in Germany+ France & DT’s actions here are also highlighted =removal, an assassination by pros, possibly the wronged military or FBI, a grave medical incident
by a merciful God. We all visualize him gone daily
Whether Canada stops auto parts coming over the border, or they come over subject to the tariffs, the effects would be the same. The US auto manufacturers can't pass those tariffs onto customers at a time when inventory is already backing up everywhere. Production would halt.
Michigander here. This is a horrible idea. We trade electricity and other stuff back and forth with Ontario. A lot of non-MAGA would suffer w/o heat or light.
Why does no one understand that Trump is just a useful idiot, that what is happening is not just him? I feel like people think that is Trump dies things will go back to “normal”. That there are players behind the scene.
Yes I feel that him and the stupid shit he does and says is all a distraction. It's Musk that's digging him and his minions inside and causing lasting damage.
Yes. I tried to explain to people that electing Biden wasn't a fix, it was a stop-gap. Electing Harris would have been a stop-gap, bc we have to address what is REALLY going on here.
but for whatever reason, and it is a giant mystery, he has the charismatic hold over the idiots as their "leader". not sure who else would have that power. it might be enough to break the spell.
Just like they thought Biden winning would return everything to normal. It's bc most people don't really have a clue about what's going on and frankly I think they don't want to know.
Is there any sign of Democratic staff or office holders doing anything against this torrent of scary activity? (The FBI staff firings, OPM hard drive installation, etc.)
People need to go to jail over this. These are clearly cyber-crimes and Privacy Act violations, but you know that won't happen because being rich and all.
I don’t understand how they are gaining physical access to these things. Don’t you need badge access to get into these offices? How did they even get in?
Descriptions of physical altercations because random assholes associated with musk are hacking into the US treasury? Where are the goddamn POLICE
This is criminal
There are laws against this
Trump could have easily arranged for the same thing but Musk had to muscle in to prove his power
Americans should be outraged at this
Regardless of hour party letting an outsider have access to your information
They have no clearance! Musk’s advisory board was to submit recommendations NOT fire people and make changes. How are these people even getting in to these offices?
Sadly, it would be with the agency you claim violated your privacy. In this case, it would be Treasury. But they don't have an IG anymore. However, I'd still send it to that agency.
Right. And they can march that information to their email addresses, social media accounts and “If you don’t resign, we’ll be glad to share your secrets with the world.”
Apparently we are this helpless. The guardrails that were supposed to exist are gone. With Congress and SCOTUS in his pocket, he can do whatever he wants. We’re so truly fucked. No one is going to stand up to him.
It’s a good question. It’s absolutely insane that it got to this point, even under the guise of looking for budget cuts. I can’t believe the IT folks allowed this, honestly.
I can't believe that federal building security is allowing this. These people don't have clearance to be in these systems/buildings and aren't even federal workers. Tell them to f*ck off or come back with a warrant. The federal police are failing all of us right now.
They are following orders. They are in disbelief. We are at the point where it is like in the military and someone is given an unlawful order.
How can we get people to not obey unlawful orders, in numbers and with public support?
I would assume workers were afraid, but better to go out SHOWING RESISTANCE (ideally filming themselves doing it), than meekly limp along until they get crushed by the musk machine. The writing is printed on the server.
talking from IT civil servant experience its hard to even know what is going down and if you are in the position to act and generally civil servants are not hired for risk taking abilities
Who the fuck are Fuhrer Musk aides and what authority do they have to do this? If anyone else broke into government systems...WTF..WTF...WTF. That autistic dipshit cannot and must not have access to these systems..
How the f**k does he have the time to do this and allegedly run three or four companies? And where are the lawsuits against an unelected person gaining access to government data?
I just tried to call both of my senators (both Republicans) to express my displeasure about Musk and his interference with the OPM,Treasury etc.
Both of their voice mailboxes were full.
Either a lot of people are complaining or they turned off their mailboxes.
Bets?
Just emailed both of my Senators.
If it is like my previous contact with my elected officials,
I'll get a form letter response in a month.But if they get
enough calls/emails, maybe they will realize how unpopular Trump's policies already are.
I spend 15 minutes EVERY morning emailing both maga senators AND my Dem Rep ( bc wtf are they doing...nothing!). EVERY MORNING. FOR THE NEXT FOUR FUCKING YEARS.
I live in a very red state. No Dems in any office in my county,
one statewide Dem. I'm so angry it is probably not wise for me to go to the Republican local office. Co-President Trump & Co-President Musk are going to totally f.u. the economy. Even here in MAGAland, people will see what's going on.
I think even MAGA voters are going to get pissed when they see $5 per gallon gasoline and grocery prices going sky high.
I thought that Trump-Musk would overreach and now they have.
I feel like this week is going to lead to massive amounts of stress eating for me…How in god’s name are we going to make it through the next four years with any amount of sanity? Advice?
I'm not an American but I do care about this orange lunatic's moves as some of them concerns the whole world.
Why aren't you people who are disgusted by him march on the streets for protests like people do in Georgia, Serbia, Slovenia, Germany etc etc?
Protests only in words won't do....
We did that in 2016 & beyond, unfortunately it did very little except frame the marchers as “crazy libs.” Over 1/2 voted against him & this brand of fascism, he still is POTUS. Not to sound too fatalistic, but civilized means aren’t working. He needs to be impeached AGAIN & removed permanently.
Many of us are concerned we will trigger Martial Law or the Insurrection Act and we will lose the right to vote. We’re trying to figure out how to stop this without falling into a trap.
We did that 8 years ago, it achieved nothing. I think a lot of people are waiting for it to go beyond bad, to completely intolerable. We aren't quite there yet for enough of a critical mass protest movement.
I agree, taking inspiration from the rest of the world in organized resistance would not only do the US good but show the world how unhappy most people are.
I'm an American in Wales. I'm warning everyone here but then again the Welsh seems to actually be aware of the world around them unlike so many Americans who are stuck in the Fox bubble. Who don't care enough to see the outside world ramifications
Im an American and I’m surprised we haven’t seen large scale protests in every city. His armed goons and his willingness to unleash the military have people scared I think.
There were protests last night in Los Angeles, St. Louis, Charlotte, San Francisco, Houston, and a bunch of other cities. Not sure it’s making the news though!
we got so used to things working right (usually, and not for all of us) that we got complacent, lost interest in the miracle that is a functional civil society. We were so insulated from the effects of dysfunction that we decided it couldn't happen to us. So, measles is back and much much worse
Because the Kevlar-armored pigs corral and tear-gas protesters, to make it easier to bludgeon them into the sidewalk and blind them with rubber bullets -- after which, nothing has changed.
I don't feel like getting blinded or my head caved in because we had enough morons to put Trump back in power.
If we tried to march, the White Nationalists would come out of the woodwork and turn it into a riot. They WANT a fight. Plus, we’re new at this. We’ve never had to fight fascism like this before…
Believe me, we are outraged! But as of now, there don’t appear to be any clear routes to change. Protests won’t deter him or his minions. Personally, I think it’s going to take the rise of a third party willing to fight fire with a flamethrower. It can’t happen soon enough!
There have been protests, as others have mentioned, but they’re not covered in the media, likely because media outlets get more clicks covering the flurry of bullshit Trump has been flooding us with. Additionally, he’s already begun bullying some news media, so I fear that’s contributing as well.
Understand your point completely. Believe the goal is to get total control by citing Marshal Law if protests emerge. “Damn if you and damn if you don’t.”
300 million ppl spread across 3000ish square miles. It is complicated.also most cities require permits. Money, time, organizing. It also happened so fucking fast.
I understand the complexity, but permits? The condition your country, the whole world is now, doesn't need permits. The people who stand against it are the permit
I can only speak for myself. I feel depleted and helpless. Protests don't stop him; only the courts have the power to stop him now. I can't afford a lawyer should I be arrested. Many of us are at a loss, espec. those of us who are older. Also, there are protests, the press just isn't covering them.
The Courts, Senate and House of Representatives all have the power to stop Trump. The Courts are our only hope because all the Republicans lack the necessary spine and big kahunas to stop him.
In any situation, the Republicans get destroyed. Go out as a coward or go down fighting and make history.
Clearly we are SUPPOSED to have a check and balance, but under the circumstances that we don't, the only check right now are the courts, and not even the Supreme Court. So yeah...thank you for reiterating my initial point.
We don’t have a tradition of protesting. There is a little bit of a stigma to it even. It’s a big country & scattered protests are easy to ignore. Add to that what happened to the BLM protesters—trump will be authoritarian. That said I think when the time is right we will do it and it will work.
Literally no one. I guess Leon has free reign at all levels of government. How he even gets thru the front doors is a fucking mystery, let alone his "team" accessing government computers with flash drives. AT THE FBI!
USAID is being dismantled- over 3k workers on Admin leave, fired, or Stop work orders (including me). Senior leaders are gone, as well as their expertise. Partners in the field are closing, services have stopped. How bad is this for our national security and the most vulnerable people in the world?
Proud to have worked alongside USAID colleagues during my 35 years with State. Best damn aid/development team there is, smart and dedicated. So distressing to hear how all that hard work is being dismantled. Keeping you all in my thoughts as we face this storm.
Comments
I know everyone is stressed the fuck out right now. Try to have a good weekend. The shitshow will still be there on Monday.
If we want to survive this administration with our sanity intact, it’s vital we don’t let the news consume us completely.
Thank you. 🙏
Are going through a lot
Because you do a lot for all of us
Whatever that may be
Thank you even more
For still being here to be a steady voice
And to keep what's left of our routine
Hope you get some peace this weekend
I've finally discovered the healing power of taking "mental health breaks" (aka: self care) from political news - and news in general. Great way to refresh, reset & re-energize! Taking action DOES help ease my anxiety re:Project 2025 takeover. Call/email your representatives to dissent ✊️

Because we're NOT at that point? Yet?!The fuck?!!
They live paycheck to paycheck and can't risk losing their job, health insurance, etc.
Supposedly, protests are being planned for March when it is warmer and more people are affected by things.
Honestly, most Americans don't know what's going on.
This is why preparations should have been made to feed a sustained protest. But we were misled. So it's time to play catch up.
Start small. Hit your MAGA neighbors and businesses. Bring the fight to their doorstep.
We are at war, people. The sooner we accept that and get on correct footing, the better off we will be.

We have local elections this year and next. VOTE
It's why presidential elections are relatively unimportant compared to your state House and Senate, whose elections are MUCH more frequent, just less sexy and more work to be informed about.
They wouldn’t spend so much time trying to suppress the vote if they could just change it.
We outnumber them by a lot. We just have to show up.
It was rigged AND suppressed. They cheated and still lost in 2020. They were not going to leave 2024 to chance with so much on the line. (Prison for life!)

his tariffs and Canada and Mexico stop being its main suppliers please take this opportunity to charge the hell out of the US! Take them for everything… They attacked their closest allies today they WILL attack you tomorrow
When he lifts the tariffs, he’s going to say they did. That they told him he was a powerful genius. And it was Biden’s woke fault they were implemented, and Trump saved us from them.
Create problem, then take credit for removing it.
We will not lie down.
We will protect our country.
We will prove that Donald is a weak and stupid man who deserves only scorn.
The world is watching.
We will not disappoint.
Game on.

On the bright side, MAGA might start feeling some kinda way about shit when it all goes south. Maybe they'll storm #9.
Too. Vought please. Lordy!
Processing letters and calls diverts them from other mischief
Office ? Anyone know?

I was hoping for a Calvary to the rescue-hang tight scenario.

Also, if we take to the streets, doesn't that just give Dump the incentive to declare martial law and claim the people are rioting?
On the latter, yes. Yet I am afraid it will be necessary. To force the military to decide whose side they are on. This is the only thing that has ultimately worked to remove autocrats.
If they pull shit with our SSDI and VA check and snap and such, we're sunk. Our entire lives here, paying our dues, all for what?!!?
NOTHING?
It cannot end like this.

Share. Repost, spread the word. No one makes a dime on March 15. Let’s shut it down for the day. It’s a Saturday so most aren’t working. SHUTDOWN ONLY WORKS IF WE ALL PARTICIPATE.
It's a week day and people are working. I'd love it to be such a big deal that they pour out of their offices, walk out of their work area...pour into the streets.
It's a dream at this point.
March seems so far away.
But I'm in!!!...if the world doesn't end first.
All trumps tariffs will leave MILLIONS unemployed-they'll take to the streets.
Just the tariffs on Canada & Mexico will do this & he added the EU.

The only thing I can add is do not mess with tax reporting or payment without getting specific legal advice from an expert tax attorney. Unless your income is over a few million a year,* you can expect the IRS to pounce if you refuse to report or pay.
* Only a teensy bit facetious here. AARGH
My Two Part Question:
(A) When it comes to Trump, do you think there is a LINE that even Republicans won’t cross?
(B) Do you think our Elected Democrats will actually be to do something about Trump?
Time to take our $$ out of banks and stash under our mattresses?
They want to move the INDEPENDENT FDIC under the umbrella of the Treasury Dept., whose head is appointed by..🧨SURPRISE!..Trump.
Hey-a girl can dream, right?
If Republicans don't impeach & remove him immediately-then we're finished as a Democracy.
🤔
Schumer is mid at best
And the situation demands better than meh
Day it was announced
Oompula is immune according to SCOTUS.
But pretty sure Project 2025 will take Musk out-he's just there to steal money & they want it.
That's what a dictatorship does.
It leaves the people poor & elevates the Oligarchs.
tRump really is his own worst enemy.
I am completely flipped out that Elon Musk is asking for access to the Country’s check book. WTF is happening here?
I think this is a call for action - all of us need to be reaching out to ALL our Reps.
Talk me off the ledge!

So much more free space now too!
Which means they have 4 more years to add more layers of corruption and bake it in
Instead, my question is, “How do we make this stop?” It’s a firehose of chaos/hostile takeover, laws be damned. So how do we stabilize and have a remnant of a functioning govt?
ANYTHING?
Then we strike! 1 day first week. 2 the 2nd round. Need 78% to Work Stop Shop Stop those days!
We have power.
I fear it will all soon come down to this.
That being said, take care of your own mental health too.
This shitshow isn’t going anywhere for two years unless cholesterol has a say in it.
Sanity breaks are going to be vital.
The deck of the Titanic is starting to tilt and the band is warming up.
Usually considered a warning of things to come. I do not believe he will last 4 years.
If in 2 years they manage to win midterms by a significant margin will you entertain the possibility that they can manipulate election results?
I wrote this for all of us:
Economic chaos will have people rioting in the streets.
Vought will declare the Insurrection Act & it ends elections & Democracy-unless the GOP impeaches & removes him & I don't think they will.
#TheResistance
ITS FULL ALARM FIREEEEE
😂😂😂😩😭😭😭
There are some things being done to stop it but it's going to be a bumpy ride.
Deep breaths. Long walks. Funny movies. 💖
All talk but no action.
The bigger picture of this madness is to dismantle ALL government and academic institutions as swiftly as possible.
Thanks!✌🏻
No one prepared for this to happen.
No one thought this would happen so fast.
But I tell you what-Pelosi could organize a military coup against this fascist BS.
She has the juice & knows EVERYONE who could do it.
I don't see what he had to investigate w/trump-we saw J6, we saw his tweets calling for MAGA to go to the capitol & fight like hell.
He could've busted him & then investigate the conspiracy.
Some of the excerpts I've read from her books on twitter-made me feel hopeless.
If there's no hope there's really not much point in Resisting.
And yes, I know how right she is in most of her stuff-it's just overwhelming, ya know, Sue?
I've said the same.
The thing is-Republicans work side by side w/Dems-in some cases they're friends w/some of them-so they couldn't imagine at least some wouldn't stand up to keep this country safe & a Democracy.
I'm thinking they're being threatened w/violence from MAGA J6 attacker squads.
No one expected how fast it's happening or that Elon would be rifling through our govt.
We also didn't know the GOP wouldn't stand up to the worst of his cabinet picks.
You'd think they'd want the country to be safe!
I’ve watched my hubs jump into action while others falter.
Wtf?

If and when that happens then the Felon is fucked. My money is on Musk aka the Ketamine Kid, to be the one to cause the wheels to come off.
by a merciful God. We all visualize him gone daily
He will cave within 12 hours!!!
trump is a bully. Bullies are punks. Stand up to them and they back down.
Gotta take some drastic action to get trump to respond
Let them eat what they bought
You know things have to get really hard before they get better bullsit line.
Millions of US workers will be unemployed.
They'll take to the streets & Project 2025 will declare The Insurrection Act & that ends elections & Democracy.

WTF is going on??
Signed,
An ecologist/risk analyst working on biosecurity
We just need the congress to have some guts and sever the nerve
Economic chaos will get people in the streets & then they'll declare The Insurrection Act & that ends elections.
If the GOP doesn't impeach & remove trump & Vance then we're done for as a Democracy.
The coup is near complete tonight.

This is super serious why isn't this front and center and no one stopping random folks gaining access to sensitive information
Descriptions of physical altercations because random assholes associated with musk are hacking into the US treasury? Where are the goddamn POLICE
You'll have to get future Social Security payments direct deposited to your new X bank account.
(Or accept payment in TrumpBux™!)
There are laws against this
Trump could have easily arranged for the same thing but Musk had to muscle in to prove his power
Americans should be outraged at this
Regardless of hour party letting an outsider have access to your information
In halls of data shadows creep,
Elon demands what others keep.
Treasury’s heart, OPM’s core,
Controlled by Musk. He wants more!
Probably a closet MAGA on the inside.
How can we get people to not obey unlawful orders, in numbers and with public support?
This is an attack.
Please
Both of their voice mailboxes were full.
Either a lot of people are complaining or they turned off their mailboxes.
Bets?
Ask your friends & family members too to contact their reps.
The circle keeps growing!
If it is like my previous contact with my elected officials,
I'll get a form letter response in a month.But if they get
enough calls/emails, maybe they will realize how unpopular Trump's policies already are.
I found it online and bookmarked it. I'll check it tomorrow.
Thanks again!
one statewide Dem. I'm so angry it is probably not wise for me to go to the Republican local office. Co-President Trump & Co-President Musk are going to totally f.u. the economy. Even here in MAGAland, people will see what's going on.
They think it is the solution. Dumbfucks
I thought that Trump-Musk would overreach and now they have.

You are SOOO appreciated…Will Caroline’s letter make a difference?
Why aren't you people who are disgusted by him march on the streets for protests like people do in Georgia, Serbia, Slovenia, Germany etc etc?
Protests only in words won't do....
https://Generalstrikeus.com
We seem/are clueless about our world.
Good people stood back and allowed the racists/misogynists take over...
We have no fight...You would think we could do better...
I get more disappointed every day...
trump is certainly expediting the removal of “great” from MAGA
Sorry it took me so long to attribute
I don't feel like getting blinded or my head caved in because we had enough morons to put Trump back in power.
It was intended to be used as a temporary measure in a major crisis, but once he invokes it, I don't see any end to it.
In any situation, the Republicans get destroyed. Go out as a coward or go down fighting and make history.
They swore an oath to the constitution, not a party, not a shitgibbon or a bunch of reality TV clowns unfit to run a lemonade stand!
The problem is-that goes against the very Constitution he swore to defend & protect.
But NOT doing it would be against his oath.
My God-I can't believe what's happening.
At that point 1930's Germany meets 2020's America...
At what point will someone in authority realize when a command issued is not only unlawful but also unconstitutional?
Following. I hope you can soon continue your work in peace.
