And this has to be more than just ‘voting harder’ next time or calling more reps. Get organized with a local leftist group or mutual aid group. Building systems that undermine the one oppressing us all is the way. Not trying to fix this system from within.

This is not yet ripe for America. What's happening right now is that the fascists are following this very same playbook, but are tearing down our legitimate government. Can we still stop them from doing further damage? Maybe we'll need this document in 6 or 9 months.
It’s an effective instruction book. It also can be used against good employers by bad employees, however.
I wonder about the FBI and CIA agents. Some have skills to take this up a notch.
I worry.
An elderly military lifer said he would not want to piss off FBI, more importantly CIA because they are the most covert and legal among us. “Vehicles go boom every day in their world”.
More frightening to me is an adversary seeing US current weakness that would do something horrific to US citizens.
Not sure if allowed, lmk. Throwing this here to raise awareness. Presidents’ Day protests. Noon. Your state capital. Bring ideas, not weapons. Pic from 50501 subreddit.
I bought a shirt that said this, then literally ONE week later was Jan6😂😭🤦🏻♀️ No clue what happened to it, but I didn’t wanna be mistaken for that shite😤😬😭
I think often of John Brown's final words before he was executed in December 1859 for the 'crime' of fighting against the institution of slavery. His words leave a sick, hollow, feeling in the pit of my stomach but unfortunately, for all of us, he was not wrong then and he would not be wrong today.
"I John Brown am now quite certain that the crimes of this
guilty land will never be purged away, but with Blood. I had...vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done."
We are going to need a “safe word” for that moment as this needs to be a massive, coordinated affair on the level of the 60s. Doing things small and piecemeal will just allow them to cry “terrorism” and declare martial law to shoot protestors.
I prepped for this shortly after the election. I had a feeling. If you have not “prepped” for this, I encourage you to go now for a background check at your local sporting goods store. And purchase the thing that you need to prepare.
I hate having to do this so fucking much. I’m an old lady who was okay not having”the thing” yet here I am having to get the thing. I’m so pissed at the MAGAS right now. Let’s roll.
This is the problem. People think this is auditing and cutting the govt fat. They don’t see it as them purposely clearing house so they have absolute power.
It's a problem because that's what they hear on right wing medias.
DC Dems must appear on all right wing medias calling them liars to their faces. Otherwise, it's going to get worse.
True, but will they let them on their show? (Legit question) I think Dems to go on the hard offensive and start throwing proverbial hands. Whats the worse that can happen? Civil war? We’re already there
I’m a dem and I’d feel the same way if a Dem pres was doing the same thing. Checks/ balances are set up for a reason. Also DOGE isn’t a legal fucking govt agency! It’s like the bff of the pres of your company showed up & started telling u & ur coworkers ur fired bc he doesn’t think u do anything.
Somehow, democracy that was supposed to over now isn't, to justify DNC demanding more $$$ for the next election, in the democracy that is supposedly already over
Haven't got a reply from em when I asked if they did such shit job saving democracy why should they get $$$
You mean the right to arm bears? XD like Smokey the bear!! And if bears get their paws on arms then they would probably help protect the national parks too!
You're right! The govt are acting like we just get what we're given and just take all their ridiculous bs. Like ice raids, women's rights, minority rights. WE PAY FOR IT ALL! WE say how we want it to run. WE say we want equal rights for everyone. WHY are WE paying for this bs? They're only 30%
I did find it amusing that the cult was talking about they made notes of those who had Harris signs in their yards.
You made a note of us? We made a note of you. And you keep stepping in my dog's $hit that I keep leaving around your cars and big mother fu*king trucks.
Do you think people in this country understand this is what it’s coming to? They’re going to defy court orders, no one will enforce them, and we will have to take to the streets.
Hey, I watched Portland turn a bog-standard MayDay parade - complete with kids, strollers, and cute dogs wearing sandwich-board signs - into an excuse to kettle, tear gas, & flash-bang the entire crowd. In 2017.
No "if", no need for bad behavior. ANY protest is a risk.
Surgical face masks covering nose & mouth make automated facial recognition difficult. Novelty exaggerated facial expressions printed on them make it even harder. People still wear masks & they can quickly be removed & pocketed. Coverup makeup on scars. A wig fits in a tote or purse. Baggy clothes.
I have used all three. I've been doing things like this a little bit in my 40+ years. I'm more worried about the facial recognition than the other stuff.
To be fair, OC doesn't cause me too many issues other than an itchy throat. CS is different though.
I respect the fuck out of Juggalos, so let's not be mean. I don't like to wear any kind of makeup, and I find it highly amusing the last great counter culture unknowingly created a facial recognition short circuit.
Fans of Insane Clown Posse or sometimes other hip hop artists from the same record label. They wear face paint like a scary clown. Good people, they fight the good fight
Because he’s a dumb drunk, he will try. However, the Military is allied to the constitution and its citizens. Military members can choose to stand down if an order is unconstitutional.
I'm personally looking at AR-15s online. Get the NATO ammo 556. These fuckers have guns up the ass. Most of us chose not to own firearms because they are dangerous but this could potentially turn into a total meltdown. I am not taking it to the streets, but going to be in my home on standby
Can we just fucking impeach him and Vance at the same time already? I’m just fucking done. If it’s guns, fine, but I would prefer to block buildings than bullets, not going to lie; however, let’s just get on with it. Whatever the plan, I’m not waiting two year for fucking elections.
He’ll wear being impeached like a badge of honor, play victim, rile up his goons because the Dems are so mean to him. We gotta stop bringing fresh fruit to a knife fight. Only hard, physical, and yes forceful resistance will do. Take it from someone who has lived this before
TRUMP, ELON, THE SUPREME COURT & THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAVE PROVEN BEYOND ANY DOUBT TO BE TRAITORS TO THE CONSTITUTION & THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,THEY MUST BE REMOVED, BY FORCE IF NECESSARY! ACTION NOW!
When institutions falter, it’s up to the people to rise. Complacency feeds chaos, but collective action starves it. Organize, speak out, consistently contact your representatives, flood the streets, demand accountability. Democracy isn’t lost in a day—and it’s saved when we refuse to stand down. 🌗✨
This reminds me so much of JFK. So many people distrusted him and his brother Bobby. Them being catholic and trying to fix the Mob connections with the government. The issues with Cuba and Russia. It all sounds so familiar. It was a bitchfest then, just like like today. And we all know how it ended
Now I’m pissed because you can’t do this without an underpayment penalty, which can be up to 5% of the total owed. Now I need to calculate if the interest earned would cover it. But that’s just giving them more $$. 😡
Regrettable, rebellion doesn't offer health insurance.
Cunning idea, that -- tying health cover to employment. It effectively makes revolution impossible. Whoever came up with that needs their genitalia grated with a cheese grater and a mixture of cat urine and lemon juice applied liberally.
What we are seeing is the digital equivalent of the burning of the Reichstag. Trump intends to create mass chaos & then declare martial law. He's an inept sociopath & must rely on what has worked well in the past. In this case, that means reading from Hitler's script. I wish this were hyperbole.
I wouldn't be surprised if he encouraged his precious j6ers he pardoned to cause the chaos and claim they're a mob of angry libs. Well, not his idea exactly but his handlers will make him scream it from the clubhouse after a round of golf on the taxpayer's dollar.
Spoiler alert: they're already doing exactly what they want and nobody is lifting a finger to stop them. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for the on-the-ground reporting from some brave folks, but our elected leaders are stopping at locked doors and rent-a-cops. WHO is going to STOP the bad guys?
This is true but there is a difference between rent-a-cops and the military that can shoot you just for looking at them the wrong way. Believe me, if the military is deployed to American streets it is not going to be pretty. Anyone who speaks out can be imprisoned and shot.
Rebellion is coming, and I am not sure what form it will take, but this situation could easily pit us brother vs. brother in a bloody civil war. Wait until the asshole declares martial law nationwide, then what? Then, our military will subjugate us. Fun times.
Crickets from the NRA
which often promotes the idea that the 2nd Amendment is essential for protecting citizens against a tyrannical government, suggesting that armed citizens can resist government overreach.
^^^THIS^^^
but let's try nationwide and rolling strikes, peaceful marches and phone calls to these blockheads in Congress and the WH before we grab our long guns and Molatov cocktails
I fear we're past the point where the former things are going to be at all effective.
Sadly, I think we're about to enter Troubles that will make Northern Ireland's look like nothing & a lot of people are going to die from starving, disease, violence. It's going to be bad.
I think you hit on their plan to have the bulk of regular Americans weakened through those maladies that will become more frequent because of tWump's executive orders.
A population weakened by hunger,sickness ,frightened and impoverished by a rogue government will not mount a defense or rebellion.
When people,Americans,realize what they stand tolose through the underhanded cowardice of selfish corporate shills ,the insane orange narcissistic fool,a sociopathic madman from South Africa and the complicit/complacent Congress and SC they will take to the streets with blood in their eyes
They’ve been saying for 5 years (or more like three decades), that the second amendment was intended to protect “the people” against tyranny by allowing them to bear arms. While I’ve always seen that argument as fraudulent (and ridiculous), it has never applied more than right now.
See that's the misinformation at work right there. Democrats have never wanted to take guns away- never an official policy. They want regulation so not everyone has a gun and s I no one has access to military grade weapons used in mass murders.
Not sure how valid your %s are, but there are good reasons for banning assault weapons. Hand guns, not so much. I was referring more to specific political offices rather than individuals. I think you'll find few officials wanting to outright ban gun ownersip.
How far do you think you'll get with a handgun? Do you think that the military or law enforcement will leave their assault weapons at home? There are some police departments who are just as overpowered like the military than most people realize. Had the dipshits not yelled defund the police. They
wouldn't have gotten more🤬. They sent years of progress down the drain. With one simple word would have changed everything. Demilitarize not defund😡. Now no one listens to us because of them.
I want to wake up and find that someone, some arm of the judicial branch to enforce their orders forcibly removed these traitors from the buildings. It's difficult to stand up, stay in your position knowing only Congress can get rid of you when the minions lock out ur email & deactivate ur badge.
If you have grandchildren, make a stand for them. I'm not just worried about my social security. I have 4 grandchildren who do not deserve any of this.💙💙💙💙
Huh, come to think of it, this might be a good thing for people not keen on actually shooting anybody to do - stock up on popular ammo now, save it up for those who plan to fight, when the time comes. Assuming that's legal in one's state and city, and safely stored.
I would advise checking the relevant laws, building/property rules and such, first... but this is something potentially anybody can do, just with money and storage space. If the revolution comes, support the valiant. If it doesn't come, at least target practice at a range can be great stress relief.
I’m not a gun person. Can I sign up for poison? Some hemlock, deadly nightshade or Wolfsbane 🐺 growing in my greenhouse? I’m white, I can pass for Nazi (what, a red hat, bad grammar & no style) & I can cook
Ironic that at the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we find ourselves in an identical positions as our forefathers. #Revolution250
Organized and well-planned is key, though. We are not MAGAts. Beat them at their own game is a way to make this happen. Shut down the government March 14th is one idea. Keep it closed 6 months. Tank the economy.
File every lawsuit we can for every illegal thing done thus far.
Bible not a thing now? They swore an oath..on a Bible and broke it" -to solemnly promise as true, placing hand on a Bible, but then deliberately go against that is considered a serious violation of both religious and ethical principles. Bible teaches keeping your word and not making false oaths.
If you look closely at the inauguration Trump did not place his hand on the bible. The Hamburglar stood there holding the bible but Trump's left hand was left down by his side
America as a Republic does not like women. In this republic women are here to serve men. We were wrong for the last 40 years. I now fight for my mother’s memory and my daughter’s future. No to #project2025 #prochoice #trumpsucks #elonmusk
Peace protest and call your representatives in Congress to let.them know how you feel!! .The next step is prepare for the 2026 midterm elections. Vote against everyone that are not doing their jobs!!
Senator Schumer launched a new portal for anyone who wants to expose corruption, abuse of power, and threats to public safety with the legal protections of being a whistleblower

This is the same gov't that allowed bigots to make a mockery of what it means to be a nation. Walking down with military-grade weapons in full uniform isn't a protest.
It's a show of strength. Same goes with thinly-veiled propaganda (ChipChilla, the "everything's fine!" show).
Cool. What do you suggest when this government inevitably starts doing a genocide? Do we all just take a number and wait for our turn to complain to an elected official that doesn't actually give a shit and won't do anything to stop it?
What can we do? Our elected officials seem to have accepted this fate. WTF makes anyone think a judge will make them do anything? This sucks and no votes for Dems who don't show up right fuckin now.
The democrats have shown who they are over and over again. They are not an opposition party. At the end of the day they also represent the interests of billionaires and corporations before anything else.
Dems are not in power in either house. They can’t even form a committee. They are railing on the floors of both, they are holding news briefings and being barred from entering buildings. What else do you propose they do?
Stop being pussies and demand the Federal judges deputize people who don't report to POTUS like US Marshall's do. Go arrest the people breaking their rulings maybe? 4 years to prevent this and NOTHING. I want a new party of honest ball breakers.
Variations of the post are attributed to several people. Surprisingly, Thomas Jefferson first said something very similar to the post. Then Mahatma Ghandi and Ruth Bader Ginsberg.

I think the true believers of Trump and white supremacy look at all of us as enemies. Relatives or not.
And I have a dim feeling that Trump is provoking the people to go on the streets so he can declare martial law if one protest turns into a riot.
No "if", no need for bad behavior. ANY protest is a risk.
Do it anyway. Might as well.
