Yup, dude's literally calling himself a king, in the "to Hell with Kings" country. It would almost be rude *not* to get the guillotine out at this point.
Well, considering that the trumpster fired most of the IRS processors we probably can just forget the April 15th deadline.
But I'll file, because Elon needs the money
our politicians can and should fix this. permanently tie minimum wage to the cost of living so that when those without a conscience but with too much greed create inflation for RECORD PROFITS everyone gets a raise and no one struggles to survive Only then can they call this country GREAT
The thing about this is that they narrowly avoided a far right mess last year. Fascism is everywhere right now. Germany is on the brink, Britain is getting close.
Americans are a pathetic fucking cowards, any discomfort or mention of discomfort and they will fold like lawn chairs. 0% chance of a general strike or Americans coming together on anything of any substance.

Well. Europe today is not far from it either. There are many ways which can lead to this outcome. That outrages taxes on every action one takes, all this artificial made up rules, this tightening of liberty and freedom, all this is already motre than 60%. And this in so called european democracy.
There is no greater power than when people gather in huge numbers to say No, I believe this is why the current media does not report people protesting because it empowers the masses, and it gives hope
And that’s no Nazi salute, it’s the arms of starving children reaching for food. This is what our brutal regime has done by ending USAID, which was our all-important soft power in the world and a bargain for the money.
Sadly. in the eyes of the rest of the world, we appear, (and are), guilty by association.
And, as We, the Good Americans, continue to scream into the abyss, effectively accomplishing nothing, We become guiltier and guiltier; both in the Eyes of the World and in the eyes of ourselves.
The shortsighted morons are creating a global power vacuum that China - with long term vision and a clear handle on Trumps stupidity - will happily occupy.
Yep. I've been saying that they not only want us in the 1950s, it's becoming clear, they want us back in the 50s....Rome. They're acting like ancient Roman senators, and he, a Caesar.
I have old books that are photographic historical accounts of what life was like in the area I grew up in before social programs. It was a coal mining town and families were living in old coke ovens! #socialsecurity
Trump has literally said (and it’s rare I can quote someone literally, because nobody is as blunt as this guy, not that it seems to matter..)
“I love the uneducated.”
Oh, here’s another direct quote, this one by Musk: “Anything can be hacked.”
Yes, French history has been through some changes in the 200 years since the Revolution/Napoleon. The problem with purges is that people don't know when to stop and it leads to instability (the perfect setting for a Strongman to come in and take over, i.e. Napoleon, Stalin, Pol Pot.
Hey, I was just minding my business, then you happened. Now, here I am, sending this message, hoping to uncover the kind of conversation that makes time disappear. So, tell me—should I prepare for laughter, deep talks, or a little bit of both?
Britain learned from france so they reluctantly gradually gave the little people the vote. Not out of the goodness of their hearts, the people fought for it and the nobility feared a repeat of France. But they kept all the land, their King's their titles,the power to teach our kids their stories .
Federal bargaining employees are not legally allowed to strike during scheduled work hours. However, federal employees are not allowed to participate in political activities during work or openly endorse a political cause and identify themselves as being from a federal agency. Hatch Act.
Seem they have a concept of a plan to make cuts to the government work force but did they evaluate what the consequences of such action on safety of the American people.
The oligarchs would be brought to their knees if air-traffic controllers+pilots, truckers and railworkers stayed home for just 7 days or so. All shipping to a halt. #GeneralStrike #resist
I traveled around Europe and elsewhere at age 18. Somewhere along the line I met a French man who asked me several questions about how U.S. government works. I didn't know any of the answers. He was disgusted. I was angry. I get that now. I was blissfully ignorant, and I definitely was not alone.
The French will try to drop kick the Eiffel Tower to the moon for simply raising the retirement age by one year. Americans can learn a thing or two about viva revolution
I was living in Paris and when the 1968 demonstrations started. First it was just the students but when it got through to the Union people that this could be the first step of many the entire country went on strike. When it came time for me to deliver we couldn't even find a taxi or an ambulance.
They need to get rid of their useless leaders first…top democrats are complaining that activists want them to confront Trump and fight back….unbelievable. https://youtube.com/shorts/DY7yW...
I was just thinking about how I now completely understand why Italians cut off Mussolini’s head and paraded it through the streets. (Or so I was told).
In my city, nurses and doctors for one of the largest hospital systems have been striking for over 40 days, with union protections. It’s affecting medical care across the city, and although they have broad support, the media is basically not covering it. Blows my mind.
We invest in other countries to further our interests abroad. Not being seen as the greedy, unethical assholes we really are is a steal at twice the price.
But you realise that EU is the largest foreign investor in the U.S., supporting millions of jobs. (Approximately 5 million is direct employment and 3-5 million indirect through supply chain). Companies like BMW, VW, Nestle, SCB has significant presence here creating American jobs.
In fiscal year 2023, the United States allocated approximately $71.9 billion in foreign aid globally, with about $19.51 billion directed to Europe and Eurasia of which $16.6 billion went to Ukraine for the war effort. The rest is insignificant.
I don't think anyone is crying or would cry. Aid to Ukraine is to stop an oppressor who illegally invaded a country and Europe has provided significantly more than the US in that regard to Ukraine (you can google to verify). The US is providing a backstop right now which is more the concern
The best protestors in France are the Farmers who block all the roads travelling to the centre of power in their tractors. They really gum things up.
How about some of those super huge industry lorries /machines you have in the US blocking distribution points? They'd be even better.
The United States is so much larger than France, and we have interstate highways where it would be very difficult to do that. Law enforcement would stop any attempt at blocking freeways, and farmers and truckers likely voted for Trump.
People are fearful of losing jobs and health insurance, too.
They can fire everyone because they know other people will take the jobs without thinking.
But again, it's difficult to bring this country to a halt. It's huge. Attempts to clog up highways and such would likely not be effective. Plus, about one third of the country is okay with Trump and Elon.
If you cannot afford to stop working, tell your reps in DC what you think. Resist. It only takes a few minutes and best of all..it doesn’t cost any money.
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.
That's some cultural change they're expecting. Americans have been (bordering on) brainwashed that this small act of collective power is nothing short of full blooded communism. Against the "American Dream".
For those who might be interested. I believe there is a functioning guillotine in New Caledonia. In a museum of course. However, they may be willing to allow copying of the constitution and mechanism. France could claim it all happened too far away if it got out.
Following protocol in the proper order is of prime importance.
Bloody revolution cutting off heads first. Then stop working.
It doesn’t work unless you do #1 first.
Just sayin
If neuro surgeons could just identify and remove that part, there’d be a good argument for repeat rapists and child abusers to be required to have the surgery or stay in jail.
How would you feel about draw and quartering those convicted of treason or sedition? I’m not saying I’m in favor of it, I’m just asking questions…but maybe I’m a little in favor of it.
But now in France we’ve got macron who is a Trojan far right soldier. He win the election because billionaire Arnault want it. And now since 8 years he do everything to offer the power to far righter and nazi with billionaires help ( medias money and opinionists)

What do you plan on doing on 28th? I'm in Australia - could we maybe send a flood of emails to...someone? Heads of corporations whose goods are sold here? (Which, I have to say, I don't know of without consulting the trade list.)
You can help from anywhere you can temporarily boycott American. Yes, it hurts, but the pain will be much worse if we don’t stand up and boot this regime!
‼️The 3/15 boycott is global‼️
The MANY can overcome the MONEY — as long as we fight TOGETHER! ✌️💪
It a buy nothing protest. I’m not confident one day will do anything but if that’s all we can get. 😢The French don’t go to work, don’t buy anything and block the streets until the government caves! 😔
And given there will be different time zones involved it may not send much of a message but maybe it will. I still think flooding Congressmen with emails might be a good idea.
I think a big problem here is that 1. We can’t stop working or We’ll go homeless. And 2. We don’t have the trust or experience to build a community to help each other for when we stop working. I think if we can fix the building community issue we can actually have a general strike. Until then tho….
In France the right to strike in the public sector is recognized by Law No. 83-634 of 13 July 1983. In the U.S. 5 U.S.C. §7311, specifies that federal employees may not participate in a strike, assert the right to strike, or even belong to a union that asserts the right to strike against the US.
For what it’s worth I wouldn’t recommend “signing up” for the general strike. You never know who’s running sites like that to collect the names of dissidents…
Unions? The majority of @teamsters.bsky.social voted for Trump. These fks are so racist and full of hate that they voted against the party that bailed out their pensions. Fk the teamsters, and Fk any union that didn t endorse Harris because most of their members are bigots.
The US population in its majority is more concerned today about their Starbucks lattes, the bars they hang out on Friday night and Saturday night and the newest movies they have to go see then they are about the political doom that the US is now in. They just don't care.
There's only about 10% of workers with a union. Company's hate unions, I know because I started one where I worked. In Quebec, Amazon suddenly announced it was closing it's 8 locations, outsourcing the work, and the fact that one location had just unionized had nothing to do with their decision, STS
Unions in N. America focus on the narrow interests of their members. Some (police, fire, construction) support a govt that has proven itself anti-union by legislating wage freezes, because that govt threw them a bone. Unions in ON are actually helping Doug Ford to stay in power.
I said in another post a call for a general strike might be in order! Just think if all the ATC's protest the gutting of the FAA and stay home. Can you imagine the chaos caused just by this one act?
#resist #NotMyPresident
French police won't murder their citizens en mass in broad daylight with cameras rolling. Ours will.
French citizens aren't usually fired for missing work for protests or if they are they have social programs to assist them. We will be fired and we don't have those programs.
Maybe you should look at the current political situation in France, where politics is in such a mess that we haven’t been able to pass a proper budget. Things really aren’t quite as rosy here as you imagine.
For yrs I warned u can't beat a narcissist.

THE ONLY WAY TO PROTEST IN A CAPITALIST PIG SOCIETY IS TO STOP THE FLOW OF CAPITAL.
Stop BUYING EVERYTHING NEW.
STOP TRAVELING
STOP PAYING ALL BILLS, LOANS, CC, RENTS, ETC.
TAKE ALL UR $ OUT OF EVERY BANK & FINANCIAL PRODUCT. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY. YW
Not paying your bills, cc, mortgage and the rest will not hurt the people you intend to but it will be the first step in ruining your credit and defaulting on your loans. Maybe contact your Reps instead.
Pete, the hedgehog calls all Democrats woke. Woke is a prejudice word against Democrats. He hates our guts. We are woke. I am woke. I like woke. I hate Pete hedgehog because he smells and has bad breath.
The French also don’t spend an inordinate amount of time sitting on their fat arses watching crap TV and eating crap food. Most Americans are simply too craven and too apathetic to take to the streets. Unless you’re a MAGA fascist, and they’re just fucking stupid.
I don’t want my family flying until it’s safer so….
I want to see a day where all air travel is boycotted. Who wants to fly anyway with EM overseeing the FAA? Just one day would get a lot of attention. Pilots and ground crew striking. Could that work?
Oufff looong way to go sister

I call for a nation wide walk out of work February 28 through April 3. Let's show our billionaires that they need us and we do not need them. Plan accodingly. Unless you work weekends you will only be missing 2 days of work. use vacation days or sick days. Tell your friends/family/coworkers.
The French got above themselves when they colonized Africa. Let’s see what happens now that they’re kicked out of the Sahel States and Senegal. People need to learn how to treat ALL People. Africans are not an exception!
February 28 - stay home !!!

Unions are federally protected. An employer can't legally stop employees from forming a union. I was terminated because one of my employers thought I was trying to form a workplace union. I sued and won and because the company was based outside of the US, they lost their right to have a US workplace
He also said: he was for working people, he’d lower grocery/gas/housing prices, he’d end wars in Russia/Ukraine and Middle East in 24 hours after election, and on and on…..
None of it is true.

The person who wrote that, clearly doesn’t live in a society where failing to work every single day means falling, with no basic public safety net to catch you.
Which particular shit? We have a government that is currently unable to sort out a proper budget because the left and the right can’t work with each other. France is no example I’m afraid.
Perhaps referring to the concentration of power and a dictator taking over.
I don't like the strikes in France, so annoying and inconvenient. But a good reminder to leaders to not overstep bounds, and grab all power. There's some solidarity, although sometimes abused. Hoping proper budget soon🤞🏼
This is accurate: In France, the government fears the people; in the US, the people fear the government. The US rich/right have always suppressed the truth about the much higher quality of French life and labeled efforts to attain it here “Marxist,” “Communist,” etc., to scare us.
I disagree. I think that would be deeply sinister, would escalate rhetoric into actions on all sides, and is unworthy of people aspiring to a more civilised nation and society.
A gallows relies on gravity. It literally brings one from above our level down to almost our level.
But when the crook picks the crowd's pockets, ascends the gallows, dons the noose and dares the crowd to pull the lever, who can blame them for a experiencing a little schadenfreude when it happens?
The only problem is that we have a 2nd amendment which means the government knows and understands this so they assembled the world's largest military to protect themselves from us.
