You don't need to be an activist to join the resistance.

All roles, both active & non-active are vital to keeping the resistance networks safe & effective

Support can look like...

Logistics
Ancillary
Reconnaissance
Tech support
Boots-on-ground
Leadership

There's no dotted line to sign..

#RESIST

But where can we get plugged in? I emailed 6 refugee support and legal orgs, and have yet to hear back. I’ll run a thousand spreadsheets and registration forms for whoever needs help!

bouncer424.bsky.social•8 hours ago

This is just in some of many many resistance groups... I don't recommend any specific group. That's a decision for you to make.

Find your local group and protest location. If you can't get there, reach out to a local resistance group instead.

Thank you all. Checking it out now. Apparently my commenting on skeets isn’t going to fix the problem. 😉

Does this mean our gas prices won’t go up?
Probably not.

Shouldn't that be "Oil-garchy"?

Obv. Gotta keep gas prices low.

Fossil fuels cannot be happy about tariffs. Recession or depression will reduce demand and profitability.

Bribery at its finest!

patbyrnes.bsky.social•7 hours ago

It is shocking, utterly shocking, that Trump actually upheld an agreement. It is a thoroughly corrupt and abhorrent agreement, but how often does Trump actually keep his word? Give the devil his due.

cprentiss.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Yet another story that, if Democrats don't make this a talking point for the next week, @kenmartin.bsky.social, it will be a dereliction of duty. You're stuck paying thousands more for a used car, but Republicans rush to protect Daddy Warbucks from Trump's political choices.

Charles Koch did this. He started the Heritage Foundation.

If he can hold up a promise from a year ago maybe the market can take that as some sign of stability?

Think they realize that he meant "from a problem only I create, and if you didn't 'help me out' you'd be just as ok without paying a billion $$

Because all his idiot supporters care about are gas prices.

He will also exempt anyone who poisons large amounts of America’s land, air, and water. Oh, I guess those two lists are 99% the same.

hookipahonu.bsky.social•5 hours ago

Dude, you can't still believe he is here for you, can you? Admit he lied, and let's be done with it. He's killing us.

For those unfamiliar, the "Mar-a-Lago Accord" is the name coined for a proposed strategy to shift global finance in the US's favor. The primary author of this strategy is Stephen Miran...

But his overall tariff polices have driven down the price of oil overall, to the point that it is currently not profitable for oil companies to engage in many types of oil exploration/production.

Of course he does.

It’s all a game. He’s the ultimate godfather doling out favours. He had to bypass New York to do it though. They never would have let him get away with this.

Why would oil companies give him a billion dollars before the election? Maybe they knew he would win?

Isn't extortion a crime? This mfkr really is the Teflon Don. WTAF?

If the tariffs are an authoritarian move to control industries by peeling them back, one by one, for corporations and employers and banks and business ppl who bow down, this makes perfect sense

This all feels like we are stuck in a major horror movie, and sadly we entered a new chapter with the tariff announcement. Since January 20, Americans have seen things we need to live a good life being taken away. This so-called Liberation Day definitely marks the tipping point.

In a recession most Americans will not be flying, business travel stops, with the park rangers fired national parks for vacations unavailable. So spending declined in major way including travel. All the companies fucked up not helping us elect Harris.
