It’s a scary time. So feel the fear, metabolize the fear and transcend the fear by working with other people to act with courage and stand tall for democracy and freedom.

Acting with courage is one thing. Watching the destruction of the USA while no one is held accountable, no impeachment, no arrests, no blocking nominees, literally nothing being done to stop this MF from fascist takeover is fucking terrifying.
Can D’s highlight HEARING that Rubio & Homan and threats of “collateral arrests”.
Deporting people that escaped tyranny and had protection.
It needs to go out into entire country that they are targeting all Americans for ideas & thought.
And dare to dislike Likud govt… along w/ half of Israelis.
Appreciate the optimism that this too shall pass. I don’t share it & think it’s ill advised to believe it though. They are not leaving office freely. I guarantee you that this will not end with a peaceful transition of power.
We have no working majority, we have no courts, we have no government agencies, we have a king who is insane and will only leave if dead, and our country is divided in hate. It’s bad. And sad.
And ask the president when he and his daughter are going to open clothes factories in the US. And red hat factories. Gold shoe factories and whatever trinkets he can make money at. And hire his cult followers. Someone needs to ask Trump and musk where their ridiculous factories are.
That’s the part many don’t realize or don’t want to realize. I’m not certain most on the left are ready for it. Trump wants to rule and control us. He’ll stop at nothing. We can’t let him. Politicians and courts aren’t coming to save us. We have to save ourselves.
Your words and actions - make us less scared - Thank you for speaking out! You are brave and very much appreciated! We learn who we are are under dire circumstances -
We did great the first time! We WILL to do even better this time! We MUST resist! We have to fight with everything we have! Bring your friends, family & neighbors. Share and make everyone aware.
I'll be working a second job since that piece of 💩 blew up my retirement money. I was 2 years from retiring. He lost my hard earned and saved money! How can he be president,? He is a thief a liar!
The thing is standing tall isn’t going to get us through it. We did it the first time he was president. We need a plan bc I refuse to be Russia or North Korea and right now no one is going to stop it from happening. So we need a plan for worst case
Trump is insane, everyone can see how insane Trump is!
But there were 77 million people that voted this lunatic into office as President
and are identified with Trump’s madness,
yet no one, no news media talks about the crazy 77 million Americans identified with Trump’s Erratic insane behavior.
Why aren't you calling upon the military to make arrests from Trump all the way to Mike Johnson and Elon. Every person has broken the law in plain sight and would normally be took out of office. Why not have the military make an arrests?
No he needs to be on tv more making it clear he is against this bullshit. They all need to be on tv as much as possible, like doing commercials stating the facts.
We need you and your peers who have a conscience to stand up and loudly proclaim that Donald Trump, Elon's DOGE, and ICE are all breaking the laws of our Constitution and need to be impeached and ejected from the white house! Now!!!
And how do we do that Jamie?????? 🤔 we don't have GO TO PEOPLE anymore he owns them all.!! The politicians need to stand up and the people will back you!!!!
We are doing all we can but you need to clear out the old members who are not up to speed on current culture. Schumer, Kennedy, McConnell, Trump, etc. and replace them with sharp educated members who stand up for WE THE PEOPLE not ME THE KING!
Impeach 2 votes needed:Why don't we SHAME Mitch McConnell for not impeaching him Jan 6,we would not be in this mess
HE OWES us. Plus have other rep from Kentucky help too as the lack of Canadians buying Kentucky whiskey is going to kill his state's economy. Screwing Trump might bring back customers
Mr. Raskin ... We, the People cannot wait for "something to happen" to get rid of sHitler45.f. We need to use Constitutional "tools" to end the nazi regime NOW! Each day since 1/20/2025 has been destroying democracy ... PULL sHitler45.f and his crew OUT NOW!!! Congress, too!!
When the Reps have had enough of the cruelty of Trump .. when they've had enough of seeing neighbors with that "You lied to us" look..when the phone rings and it's a death threat. And when they look in the mirror and realize that they have been betrayed. Please call them with empathy & compassion.
573 days until midterms.
I personally let trump distract me a little today with his slump and pump scheme but we need a big beautiful blue November wave.
Hahahaha - I grew up in the central Ohio area and lived in Columbus for many years - there was a restaurant called Tee Jay's Country Place that served breakfast all day and night. My girlfriends and I would go there after the bars closed and soak up the alcohol with some carbs.
It is scary times! 5 million or so marched on Saturday! We will do it again! We need the Congressman, especially Republicans , to join with Democrats and give CONGRESS THE POWER THE CONSTITUTION GAVE IT☘️🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦💙🇺🇸☘️🇨🇦
All this criminality. I just don’t understand how it can go unchecked? If the orange man purposely fucked the economy/stock market, isn’t that like sabotage or something?!
The depth of dishonor, failure & damage of current POTUS, VP & minions has no bottom. A stain on their honor, their families, their party, their communities and our nation. We elected a convicted felon with a lifetime record of dishonor, bankruptcies and failed relationships. Now their tyranny. sad!
We’re standing tall, mobilizing, marching & protesting!! Now you, our elected officials, need to stop the madness-Impeach and prison time!!! Is there ever going to be consequences for the traitor(s) doing so many illegal acts??
I agree Representative Raskin but I implore you and other representatives to speak louder and consider unconventional measures. The Republicans are being held hostage by a group of barbarians that do not know how to conduct civil discourse.
If we make it through this admin., Congress needs to pass as many laws as it takes to ensure that all of lawlessness & crazy of this admin. can never be visited on the American people again. And it needs to hold accountable everyone who aided & abetted this nightmare.
Well said! Solidarity, courage & the steel will of “We the People” can rescue our democracy & save our country from this lurking tyranny…With God, we can overcome evil & end this season of constitutional crisis.

But seriously, the Signal Gate security breech!! The shiny objects have already swept this under the rug. Americans inability to FOCUS ON THE WORST things that need acute attention. The protection of our services members is at risk. Their honor returning home is null. This is our frontline.
You are all spectacular✨️

You're lucky to have never supported him. I was dumb enough to support him during his first term so I carry the shame of once supporting him but let me tell you it's a huge relief not supporting him, it's kind of like being in an abusive relationship.
Libs have guns too. Most don’t use them as penis substitute method. Firearms are relatively inexpensive and not difficult to use. Buy one and learn to use it for protection.
Rules don't matter to them & we need to act like they don't. They will push & push & push till we're dead, WAKE THE FUCK UP. This isn't a fucking fantasy anymore, we're next. We need act like survivalists. Get a gun & defend yourself from these home invaders.
The people have to save our Government and our Constitution because Congress and our politicians do not have the strength of their own convictions to do what must be done.
Rep. Raskin,
We need Congress to function as an effective check on the Executive’s power NOW! Consider organizing an agreement with a handful of moderate Republicans to vote for a moderate Republican Speaker. If all Democrats joined with moderates on the right, Trump could be contained immediately!
I hear you. But also. Nothing seems to be working. And it’s hard to keep myself from putting my head in the oven when nothing continues to be working. Time is short before it’s too late.
One small thing everyone must do is tell everyone they can to switch to Bluesky and stop using Twitter. This is a really easy action, you're already on here so you know how to sign up so please consider helping your friends/family register for Bluesky.
We need to have much more organized positive protests at public events, like everyone wearing a "Fight Climate Change" t-shirt at a section of the ballpark, stadium or arena with publicly promoted by a supportive organization. Fun runs. Farmer's markets. Picnics. Etc. More to come.
On matters international, hasn't Brexit shown that you don't jerk neighbors around and then say that you didn't quite mean it that way and couldn't we please do business on terms favourable to us..?
Your neighbors, even without being vindictive, discover other ways to work and put them in place.
@raskin.house.gov, you were a hero, a person who’s integrity and ethics stood well above his contemporaries. I say “were” because you’ve seemingly abandoned 14.3. Why? Why won’t you invoke the laws of our Constitution and honor your oath? I don’t understand 😔
@schumer.senate.gov should listed to Raskin’s advice. At this time, the best thing for him to do is step aside. Does Chuck have the courage to do it? Do @senatedemocrats.bsky.social have the courage to oust him if he doesn’t?
The real fear is the fraud, abuse, lies and corruption by Dems that has happened for decades.
BUT it will come to LIGHT very soon and we will all see what your and your Dems colleagues truly are.
Republicans: Trump's tariff tax taught you that you are obsolete! Make Jeffries speaker. Give Liz Cheney a voice. Jeffries honors his promises and makes compromises.Trump and Vance are impeached and removed. Republicans and Democrats: Pick your champions. We vote in 2028. It only takes 2 days.
And unfortunately, the average person is going to incur a whole lot more suffering, in those “courageous acts” of simply trying to maintain the status quo of living in a free democracy, which is currently in the rearview mirror.
You know what causes me the *most* anxiety? We, The People, are *on our own.* The Dems controlled the Senate & the White House & still failed to hold fascists from Trump’s 1st admin accountable. Now WE are paying for it. All you can do now is talk, “investigate” & write strongly worded letters. 😡
“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democracy itself. That, in its essence, is fascism.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt
Senate, congress & the military can end this tragedy as soon as they decide to uphold their oaths to the Constitution and the American people. It's a duty, not a paycheck. Do you choose to let the American people suffer & die?
Since many of these tariffs were issued on so-called national security grounds, what exactly happened in the last 12 hours to change that?? Please investigate.
I am angry! That man has caused us to lose money! We the people don’t have billions, millions or even thousands to fall back on. He wants to deport US citizens now? WTF! This imbecile should never have been allowed to run! Biden would have won and then could have stepped down. We got screwed!
I absolutely agree with Raskin, but I would like him to spell out what courageous actions we should take. How far should we go, and what is the risk to us, to our families, and to our communities?
I am for anything, no matter what, but our elected representatives must specify.
One of the high priorities of the nonviolent resistance actions should be to isolate the dictators, and to divide them from each other and from their most devoted followers.
We need to undermine their solidarity and their pillars of support. We need to make it easy to desert a failing regime.
Srdja Popovic has mastered the art of using ridicule to bring down autocrats.
Right now, you can download a free copy of "Pranksters vs Autocrats: Why Dilemma Actions Advance Nonviolent Activism" from the Cornell University Press.
Tell your spineless colleagues in the Senate, Congressman. Start with that worthless limp rag @schumer.senate.gov, move on to @slotkin.senate.gov & @fetterman.senate.gov, and go from there. (Don’t forget institutionalists trained by Pelosi, like @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social.)
We need to start putting pressure on @schumer.senate.gov to step down. He's weak and ineffective. #usprotests #wearetheflood #mobilize.us

Trump wants to clear the field of any defenders of the Constitution. He wants to blow up our rule of law and put himself in charge. And frankly, way too many people who know better in his party are going along with it.
If you don't help us, no one will. When can we arrest him for not following the constitution?
None of you will have jobs either once the king is crowned.
Good sir, I need Democrats to have a seat. You lot had the congress from 2018 to 2022. You did fuck all to raise the minimum wage let alone put Trump in prison. Slow down, yes Trump has to go. I still don't trust you to do right after the fact.
Just as people seek support after experiencing domestic abuse, we, as a nation, should seek support from our localized citizenry and like-minded leaders. The clown and his minions create financial/emotional distress scenarios. They use chaos/fear to exert control over the populace.
Rep. Raskin, I would like to know what that looks like.
I watched millions of people march and, I'm wondering, what did that actually accomplish? Stupid already knows we're angry so, I'll ask again. What did millions of people, with super creative signs, actually accomplish?
Fighting fascism is not a sprint, it's a marathon.
More marches and calls to congressmen and other protests might be necessary to reach the momentum you need to turn the ship around.
Please share!The rich have declared class war and we must respond in kind!Our greatest power has ALWAYS been that we're the caretakers of the machines.Slow production Waste their money! One giant day of insurance claims! Make this happen! Make fascism unprofitable with workplace disruption!
Bluesky keeps banning my pages for promoting workplace disruption! This is an important tool for fighting fascism that we're are not utilizing. Please visit my page. I'm not selling anything. I have list of ideas as well as trying to promote my profile pic as much as possible. There's more we can do
Jamie Raskin. You are another hero to us. So very sorry for the loss of your son. Thank you Rep.Jamie Raskin. For your service and courage for OUR country.🇺🇦

We want ACTION!!
None of you will have jobs either once the king is crowned.
More and more people will become confused as to why life sucks more. Why they are broke, why they are scared, why they feel abandoned but stuck.
Push this, and they might come around to actually voting and helping others.
Sincerely, a random citizen who’s not your constituent, but supports all you stand for and do for the people.
if you do you won't be frightened

Our BIGGEST problem is the upcoming midterm elections and being ABLE to vote.
36 states have strict laws requiring voters to show PROPER identification at the polls
There’s a new requirement that name on birth certificate matches voter registration
