The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

I would say, do not get in their way. Let their voters and Senators correct this. Within six months their voters will be their offices giving them feedback and updating their approval ratings. Do not let the Republican Senators hide in Washington. Make them go home to face their neighbors.
everyone whose senators are begging for money should call them up and tell them to fucking caucus with the dems to wrest control away from the nazi in the oval office. maybe rephrase that slightly to make it reasonably palatable to the stupid af gop politicians…
Democrats have been losing for so long, they don’t know how to stand up for us. Either that, or they are just as complicit as the other side, but don’t want to own it. I used to think their families were being held hostage or something. Now I believe, with a few exceptions, they are in on it.
ECONOMIC BLACKOUT DAY Feb 28. Consider halting the purchase of gas, fast food, and from big corporations for 24 hours. Buy local, plan ahead. General strike asking workers to call in if able to as well. Participate where able. #50501 https://events.pol-rev.com/search?contentType=EVENTS&mode=LIST
I am just warning everyone, if we want to save our National Parks, protect them from being literally sold off, there will come a day, fairly soon, when we are going to have to put our bodies on the line. This needs to start being organized NOW.
Stop begging them to do something, it’s never going to work. WE need to rise up NOW, while the GOP is still weak. Protests and Sit-ins aren’t going to work here, we need to get in the faces of Facism and tell them “Not one step further”.
What is the GOP afraid of? Being primaried? J6ers/militias/white supremacist groups?
Or are they looking to have the ultimate power and wealth?
Things will not work out well for them if they don’t help stop this
Congress will not last beyond 2025. They will all be fired by Trump. Don't tell me that Trump doesn't have the power to do it. He has shown the past month that he does whatever he wants, whether legal or illegal because nobody has the balls to stop him.
Get the word out about flipping the House! We can and will shorten the terms of Felon and Vance. Maybe release Musk to Mars on an early mission. Or jail.
The GOP needs to apologize for the lies & prostrate themselves TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS. Then they need to work with Dems, at the very least to save their own ass. They need to HOLD THE LINE before we really get to a true dictatorship. The judges have been the front line so far, but we need CONGRESS!
Even if you did not vote red, call & get them scared of their own relevance & livelihood. We need to keep them beholden to us before they get too scared of losing favor with 47. If we still have a democracy, they still need our votes. We need to remind them we won't forget whichever way this turns.
**** On March 4th, Agent orange is scheduled to address the joint session of congress at 9pm**** WE NEED PEOPLE TO HEAD TO OUR NATIONS CAPITOL on this day. RTO in advance, we need a MASS of bodies!
Call all the Dem reps and tell them to boycott the state of the union. Call a press conference at the same time. Let fired fed workers speak and spend time listing all the ways the constitution has been broken. It's time to throw decorum and tradition out the window and fight for our democracy.
I want them to put on their going to jail clothes and attend. I want them holding signs like we've been doing and booing at the State of the Union just the way Republicans did in past.
Exactly. Why do they think they will escape the results of their cowardice? Somehow, the insane "king" will give them exemptions? What gall to even ask for it while everyone else is suffering. Unbelievable.
He must be removed by any legal means. Because even though President-elect Biden will take office at noon on January 20, as voters decided in November -- the dangerous, authoritarian forces behind January 6th’s violent insurrection will remain with us.
Weird. I'm clicking the written link and the picture, and both are bringing me to a page about impeaching Trump for Jan 6th, stating that Biden "will take power" in the future.
Governors and citizens need to be hounding their republican representatives and senators. They control the funding. TFG has no business being in that loop.
I mean from what I can tell it's kind of gone already. They seem to abandon their power of the purse they're just letting him do his thing. It's mind-boggling
Republicans are mindless cowards- Trump drones. Dems & others are powerless Save $93 million, Congress can be replaced by a monkey with a rubber stamp, working for bananas Save $2,480,300, give the monkey a different stamp - replace SCOTUS Once the Constitution is gone, Musk will be emperor anyway
Every bit is helping. Look at the alt orgs. Technically they are “just” sharing info-and yet that’s a big deal. Everything you do is helping, even if you don’t see it
I have a suspicion that blackmail is a critical yet unknown factor at play here. Putin has so much nasty shit on TFG and all his little bitches they will do anything to avoid the public humiliation that exposing them would cause. It’s the only way I can make sense outa any of this.
I want the Republicans in Congress and the SCOTUS to think good and hard whether they want to hand all this power they're giving Trump over to President Ocasio-Cortez.
If you voted for Trump, I don't judge you for your choice of political party.
I am paying attention to your lack of morals, ethics, compassion and humanity.
I am paying attention to your support of racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, treason and fascism.
So will others. So will history.
Do you mind advising what resistance that is?He has both houses,the SCOTUS,immunity,has declared only he and Bondi can interpret the law, won’t hold fair federal elections and is ignoring court orders in real time.I’ve been asking ad nauseam what resistance will work against this. No answers so far.
That’s actually a good point. How long will big companies remain quiet when their profits tank. I know my house has cut all non essential spending just in case.
Feb. 28 is an economic blackout / buy nothing day organized by 50501. Our beautiful Canadian neighbors, and, last I saw, the Australians are also doing a similar action on that same day.
Agreed. I keep waiting for the capitalist hammer to fall on the balls of the congress (ahem) members who have been bought and paid for... once the shareholders are unhappy, things will change. Until then...
Wow! That could explain a lot. It is very do-able. It may be more than people want to read, but it does give a possible answer to some questions I’ve had.
Trump is a corporate raider, but of nations at this point. He sees aid, values and norms as a weakness to gaslight & leverage for quid pro quos. As he tears down his allies for gain, the American kleptocracy is pandemic, ISOLATE this diseased state, BOYCOTT EVERYTHING!
RICO laws target organized crime & corruption—holding powerful figures accountable when they engage in systemic fraud. Trump defies court orders, claims he’s above the law, & Musk ignores legal rulings while manipulating markets. It’s time for real accountability. #RICO #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw
Trump is not immune to RICO charges if the alleged conduct pertains to unofficial acts. For instance, in December 2024, a judge denied Trump’s bid to overturn his conviction related to hush money payments, ruling that his actions were personal and not covered by presidential immunity.
However, if the alleged violations involve actions within his official duties, the immunity could apply, depending on whether those actions are deemed within the core constitutional purview or the outer perimeter of presidential responsibilities.Musk isn’t immune and should be investigated as well.
We need a protest movement demanding that Trump, Vance, and all their appointees resign, and that we won't stop protesting until they do. They are shoving us into a deep recession, which should help us grow this movement
It would only take 10 Republicans in the Senate and I think three in the House. Musk is hurting their voters. I think we have become so blind to the chaos that we are not seeing that Trump has completely lost the plot.
None of the complacent or actively supportive members of any of the three branches can remain in power after this. And money is power so I want to see their entire families stripped of everything and left reliant on the social programs that their warlord stripped away.
I hope you are right. Congress needs a leader that is capable of pulling those from both house/senate together and is willing to stand up to the administration to restore the balance of power. Eventually to remove him from office. It is hard for me to see who might do that right now
If you remove him from office, you get president JD Vance. If you get rid of Vance, you get president Mike Johnson. It's fascist sociopaths all the way down.
Unfortunately, Hakeem Jeffries has made it abundantly clear the Democratic party 'leadership' has no appetite for sacrifice. Worse yet, Jeffries has been doing little more than trying to fund-raise. He doesn't get that actions draw interest and power... not compliance. Trump has made that apparent.
I wonder if Liz Cheney has any pull. Sure, they labeled her as anti-MAGA (which she is), but maybe in light of recent events they’ll be willing to listen to her.
That would be great if they would. It would still take those still in congress to actually be the ones to make the moves. But maybe she could help with that on the conservative side
Please join the 50501 Movement on FB to help us spread awareness for the 50 state protests. We need as many people to help as possible to stop the coup. We are planning our next big protest and will be announced shortly.
Sorry, like many I left all meta-applications after Zuckerberg kissed the ring. I was sick of billionaire, parasites and their apathy towards democracy. I will happily join the movement here on blue sky though!
They’re acting as if ceding their power to 47 is going to keep them from accountability. Whether this disaster of a wannabe dictator is brought down by the people or his own failing health, the politicians who have empowered these treasonous acts will have to answer to us. Tyranny won’t last
We’ve watched this for decades. When 🐘 are the minority, they implement obstructionism, and work every loophole.
When 🫏 are the minority, they throw up their arms and ask for campaign contributions.
“Vote HARDER⚠️”
I feel this is where a lot of the frustration is coming from Democrat voters. The Democratic Party has received plenty of money and support from voters. Now we need them to be leaders and stand up. If there isn’t a way to fight in a corrupt system, they should help lead us outside of the system.
They took this responsibility at this pivotal time, it’s not like this is a total surprise to people aware of history and American politics.
If they aren’t able to show courage, they shouldn’t have taken office and sworn to defend the Constitution and American People. It’s the 11th hour, act now!
Dems have the chance to win back congress in a NARROW margin - but they need your help! Pay attention to the upcoming special elections! Tip the balance back! Donate, volunteer, door knock - get involved! We don't have to wait til midterms!
They are spineless. Imagine giving up the power of the purse and your duty to those who voted you in because you are worried about being primaried. It’s pathetic
Unless congress is willing to force their way into DOGE's office and take control of whatever they're currently using to tap into the government's payment systems then they've got nothing. What will they do, appeal to the tyrant? Beg for crumbs from his table?
The entire government is weak and pathetic. Where are the democrats? What are they doing? Letting 45 do whatever he wants and writing memos, apparently.
People trying to light a fire under their elected representatives are "toxic" & "part of the problem"?
My Democratic Representative has already voted with the Republican majority on 4 of 10 of the awful pieces of legislation that have already passed the House. SHE'S part of the problem. Wake up!
I am seething with resentment that with everything going on I also now have to make time to call my Democratic representative to urge her to vote against Republican bills. Clearly I can't urge her to stand up and fight for the people who elected her, but baby steps.
I’ll call it as I see it, and as I see it, the democrats are sitting back wringing their hands, telling us everything the gop “can’t” do, but they still seem to be getting it done, so clearly no one is standing up to them.
GOP Congress is too spineless to invoke the Constitution’s Appropriations Clause 💰 that our founding fathers put in precisely as a check / balance against the presidency
They won’t stand up to them. He has the goods on all of them now. So pathetic they’re begging! We can only rely on ourselves and I’m fighting as hard as I can!
SIGN your strike card! SHARE IT ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA! We need 11 million to make this work! We can do it! We MUST save our country from the ruthless wannabe dictators! If we don't fight like hell, we may not have a country anymore! Sound familiar? Cripple the crooked!!
At this point I'm sort of hoping for a military coup to restore our democracy. After all, the soldiers did take the oath. This seems domestic-y...they could be heros!
"I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic..."
Is there evidence of military support of this admin coup? Any general would work. You could even move down the ranks. Just a movie plot. If they capture Trump & Musk, domestic coup over. Then the hard part, hand power back to Congress, strengthen checks & balances. It's a fantasy, not a good plan.
I'm well aware of the numbers. Like I said, it's a fantasy, not a good plan.
Part of my hope is that as Trump and Musk attack everyone on many levels (Social Security, Medicare, Defense, VA, etc) that MAGA shrinks as they realize their mistake. Perhaps another fantasy. We need them on our side.
Politicians need to speak up not only for their constituents but to speak up for American values, for the constitution, & for democracy. Are they thinking they will skate thru this insanity? If they do a nazis bidding, they are complicit, & are then nazis too. You're for what's right or you're wrong
I call my Republican congressman daily. No one on his staff can tell me Darin LaHood's position on ANY of the matters of which I am concerned and calling. No scheduled town halls, no meetings. Nothing. I think they are all HIDING!
Yes. Congress has the power. Everyone needs to call email, and write their congressman and congresswomen! Let them know what we want! I am writing mine almost weekly.
I have a feeling we’re gonna have to wait until enough leopards have eaten enough faces for the GOP to admit their people are the ones that are going to suffer the most.
And even then, the only way they will act against Dear Leader is if their constituents come after them with pitchforks.
Blue Sanctuary States should fund relocation programs for decent people trying to escape Red States. We are no longer the United States. Fuck MAGA. Let them rot.
I send greetings from Zion - Springdale Utah. - This past "holiday" weekend, was interesting. - Hotels, resorts, restaurants are getting concerned of what will come. - National Park staff keep all running...Send help!
America's foster kids are all on Medicaid, including the shaken babies, substance exposed,and physically and sexually abused/trafficked. And Congress plans to take their medical insurance away so that rich people get tax breaks.
They're all scum.
For real for real, are GOP leaders secretly being threatened by hitmen or torture or something? I know half of them are on board with the mayonnaise mob, but there are some GOP that cannot be this dumb. Is there something else going on internally that we're not seeing?
Is it possible that GOP have been both threatened AND paid off? If Musk can lock accounts, surely he can also put money in them? Imagine having to explain where a huge chunk of money had come from,especially now.
If you have a 401(k) pension plan, let me tell u that most of your funds are invested in companies like Tesla, Amazon, etc., please review your investments and consider reallocating them to 'cash' / 'gold'. It looks like they are deceiving us from behind
#WeAretheResistance Congressional Dems and the few sane republicans left need to join and do their jobs with ferocity. The Trump regime is weakest right now.
Hell no, Republican states don’t get exceptions while the rest of the country suffers. Instead of begging for exceptions, stand you, Republican cowards.
No monies that go to the federal government should be sent. The states should form a new coalition, and then defeat the fascist regime by draining it of funds. All we need is proper execution.
It's disgusting that all the red state GOP reps and Senators are begging Trump for exemptions for THEIR states. Meanwhile they're only too happy to see him screw over blue states.
Many of the Repubs are scared of Trumpie. They want to hold on to their power and love of being noticed by Trumpie and Muskie. They won't do a damned thing.
DOGE is essentially a Digital Blitzkrieg that generates enough smoke that Trump can take money from the poor and give a 2000B tax break to the rich. Meanwhile the deficit problem gets worse.
Join @spotlightondoge.bsky.social and see the data that proves the farce.
Where is this resistance we keep hearing about? No one is stopping them from doing whatever the fuck they want. The Republicans don't give a shit and the Democrats are lost in the weeds somewhere. It's time for the military to step up.
I'm still calling my Senators. Now it's about the people I personally know who got fired. We are losing our tax base rapidly in NC! I think I'm at 6-8 people all making 6 figures. That's a crisis!
The things folks would *want* to tell their 'representatives' on 5-calls to DO would put most on a warrant list... they've either gotten their 1-way plane tickets out of the states already or they better get their personal security guards prepared

Our democratic republic experiment is gone.

Republicans leaders need to see the reality of the situation.
Reverse Citizens United
Make voting rights inversely proportional to an individual's rights.
Millionaires = 1/4 of a vote
Billionaires = no vote at all
These people have shown time and again they're not to be trusted.
May the regime's demise be swift and severe
We have to get serious about voting rights, protecting our votes and making sure that everyone that votes has their vote counted
A ton of votes were thrown out by republicans … and we need to make sure that doesn’t happen
Or are they looking to have the ultimate power and wealth?
Things will not work out well for them if they don’t help stop this
Bring maga back to stop Trump
Thank you!

Real fascism doesn’t allow for Netflix, sports betting, beauty pageants, jet skis, camo bass boats, pornography, anime, personalized kitty collars, or Taco Bell.
Real dictatorships have a DMZ, not TMZ.
Corporations went all in on Trump because they wanted deregulation to be able to sell us even more products, not to lose income and market share.
Scared, unemployed people don’t buy things.
Apparently I missed something. What happened???

Trump, Vance, and all their appointees resign or are impeached.
There are follow-up prosecutions to the fullest extent of the law.
Keep upping the pressure via mass nonviolent protests that do not end until our objectives are achieved.
We need a protest movement demanding that Trump, Vance, and all their appointees resign, and that we won't stop protesting until they do. They are shoving us into a deep recession, which should help us grow this movement
They should have left acting to actors. Who wants to watch influencers and reality tv personalities?
Basically, anyone can be on tv now, as long as you’re completely annoying and over the top.
It’s hard to take it seriously anymore.
Republican led Senate,
Congress,
Trump appointed Supreme Court Justices,
Trumps Cabinet,
Elon Musk & DOGE.
Can volunteers fill the summer jobs of temporary staff in the National Parks?
If so, I think a lot of people will show up to save our parks. 💚

This time it's going to take rebellion.
Democracy is dead. Thanks Republicans.
Executive continues grabbing up power, no one in congress has the balls to stand up for the legistlative or judicial branches.
Rebel.
Make a fist.
Resist.
My Democratic Representative has already voted with the Republican majority on 4 of 10 of the awful pieces of legislation that have already passed the House. SHE'S part of the problem. Wake up!
Think of the Donors!
