Shame on you America for electing that piece of shit! 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮
He's also ex-LEO, so there might be some truth to there being a few good ones in there.
The feebs pull from all professionalisms so if they lack the police background, I'd trust them more.
In every possible way.
Form groups of specialists. Law, trade, influencers, hackers etc.
One thing I dont see being discussed is the possibility that among the driving forces for these oligarchs to consolidate power is their very real fear of climate chaos. Denial aside, they know full well the impact this is having; this drives their insanity
I hope never.
Snyder offers practical ideas for even unlikely allies to use.
to the American people: don't mourn the past and what life you could have had. don't think about the odds. fear won't save you, but courage might. your country and people need you right now.
we used our means and methods to do it, but it's up to you (all) to decide what should be yours.

We're making our opinions known to our elected representatives and donating to aid agencies, e.g. globalgiving and United Way. If there's something more effective I'd really like to know.

Big business has now begun

So yes, the broligarchy/brobarians are hurting us, too.
this hangs on the military. if
US troops are willing to fire on US citizens, we’re fucked. if they do the right thing and refuse an illegal order, we might survive.
Waiting for the Stock Market to open this morning.
Will it plunge and if it does how much?

— Lou Lid, as he is about to sap Phillip Marlowe
— also Donald Trump, as he is about to impose tariffs
Not on your white radar I guess.
Why haven’t they been using them? It’s not like any of this is a surprise. They told us and PUT IT IN WRITING. Why didn’t they use these “tools” to put up guardrails?
The Trump insurrection is simply bypassing Congress.
🤷🏼♂️
I just left a conference, 500 attendees, fascism was a popular topic (not in the agenda, but during the breaks.) Fed employees are concerned, but didn't say much. State employees (faculty at public U's) were concerned about being told what do/not do.
Be as courageous as you can.

Richard Durbin and Tammy Duckworth.
Thank you for the glimmer of hope & encouragement present between the lines.
He also says, direct resistance and protests are necessary for buying time for the other actions to gain traction.
Armed uprising, before they corrupt all the army and police.
And "Israel influence" is just another ruzzian psyops to brainwash westerners into this idiocy that is going on now.
That said, his father is all-in on this. He too is a Libertarian.

That resistance alone will fail💯. Civil war would be futile& bloody.
So, answers lie in either 1.Bringing Wall Street to its knees &/or
2.Targeted assassination of oligarchs+enablers
Not advocating for this, just logical
What exactly does it take to bring Wall Street to its knees. What does that look like?
If we can’t figure that out & execute on it, then counter-chaos becomes only remaining option,
Smaller companies will be fkt, bigger companies will consolidate. Democracy will be crushed and there is no one there to hold the line. No one! We're it! And we need to move fast! Recruit friends!

Actually, he is onto South Africa next because -- racism.
Read this.
It is past time but still time for speaking up, standing out, and protesting, to crush trump, Musk, and the Oligarchs.
This is his advice?
How do people become professors? Can anyone become one
Shout it from the mountain tops. Tell your people. TRY.
Everything matters, you are not helpless, DO NOT BE COMPLICIT.
It seems purposely vague to say “Do something” and never give an example or specific
Should trumpy be pushed aside, JD “Couch Fucker” Vance will become president… we will find allies (of sorts) with our former ideological rivals. Then, only the oligarchs will be the enemies.
The idiots actually think that if they seriously hurt the country, they will be just fine…
Want to scare them? Demand for greater unionization and stringent regulations.
That is our answer in Europe to Nazi Elon Skum
Timothy Snyder sees it and says it. It's a coup. We have to get clear on that. Then we can begin to structure our defense.
A hostile takeover
Stolen data
Stolen funds
Thank you very much for your much-needed wisdom and perspective.
I can't read everything I'd like to but I'll read what you write.
I'm all for that here in New England deep blue state!
*Canada has also invited us to become part of it! :)
O Canada! Our home and native land!
Speak plainly!

What? This is telling people nothing
I would think 20 million selling will leave a mark.
Harangue Republican legislators without mercy! RAISE SOME CAIN! Email, mail, call.
Trolls on internet are trying to divide Dems. DONT TAKE THE BAIT.
Personal Identifying Information. Our PII has been illegally disclosed w/o our written permission to Musk, a violation. He must be arrested and charged with violating the Act. #arrestMusk #impeachtrump

So if you get to the point you are unhappy enough, there would have to be tremendous pressure on all Republican senators and house members
