Unity is strength. The “Resistance” is barely smoldering as like minded people retreat into their safe spaces. Journalists are protecting their livelihood’s as well as ours. We have to unite. Not against Trump. But something or someone. Journalist, Politician or someone with a new idea.
R2-D2 was programmed in the late 1970s, when code stealing was limited to typing in code from computer magazines. We'll just need to identify today's R2-D2 and Ewoks and build the resistance around them. Then we should be fine.
No, R2 was programmed a long time ago in galaxy far far away.
If he was programmed in the here and now, it would be by tech bros who are CURRENTLY programming AI by stealing the work of other people (see plagiarism), and the robots themselves would be produced by one of musks companies.
Ever think that you folks are exactly what’s being mocked? Keyboard activists. Those of us in our 60s & above gave our 🩸😓 & 😢 for the cause. Just waiting now to see if there are any younger who are willing to sacrifice or if cute pictures are what’s left.
Do folks have a severe reading comprehension problem? Where in the f*ck did I mention Nazis. Brains have been turned to mush from the lack of actual communication that uses real language. If it’s not a picture it’s a problem. Screw it. They stopped a war.
I don’t think it’s possible to know what the commenters are doing while they’re offline.
But you have a point. Your generation had so much free time due to cheap housing and guaranteed retirement benefits that you were able to spend it fighting for the future. I just wish you’d won.
You have no goddamn idea what sacrifices so many activists gave before social media came to dominate the scene. All that acquired wisdom simply discarded because they happen to have been born a certain year and are thus automatically condemned to being the enemy. That’s fine. We stopped a war.
But we all know that even though it will take time, the rebel alliance will overcome the evil empire in the end. The dark side is quicker - more seductive - but it isn't stronger. People with integrity will stand up & defeat it.

To be fair, there's is little they can do. The Republicans control all three branches of government. And Trump is going to try to bring all the independent agencies under his control as well. He will eventually try to take over the Federal Reserve too.
Hah.. they can do alot...! But Their corp overlords will allow it..
The can propose universal healthcare and education and maternity leave and 20 dollar minimum wage.. and the voters will see.the gop stopping these every time.. this will make headlines.. and dems need headlines..
"there's is little they can do" & still uphold white male supremacist patriarchy, in which the Democratic Party* is just as invested as the GOP/fascists.
It was Joe Lieberman, not the Republicans, that tanked the public option of the ACA. Of Gore/Lieberman fame. Hoisted by our own petards. Biden voted for the bankruptcy abuse prevention act that made it so student loan debt cannot be discharged through bankruptcy.
So as an outsider I am starting to wonder why the republican controlled houses are not shouting more about executive orders that remove power from the senate and house. I would have thought they would have been the ones complaining. Or am I misunderstanding US government checks and balances?
They could look into all those procedural crap Republicans were doing back when they had the House, Senate Supermajority, Presidency, and a non-insane SCOTUS.
Every time people would demand something, Dems would just say the Republicans would be obstructionist and do procedural stuff to stop it.
It is the dems corp overlords want.. they want trump and the tax cuts and the deregulation.... traitors like cuban and carville helps trump.. and leadership just listen to money rolling in
Liberal voters will still go "But they could have done more!" and not vote for them. Meanwhile, Republicans will find out their candidate is a pedophile and hold their nose and hit straight Rs in the voting booth just to "Own the libs". Thank God liberals have too high of standards to want to win.
Criticism is good, but there is something to be said for unity building rhetoric. We couldn't unite and build enough enthusiasm in 2024 and that's why we lost.
Please don't just share on this forum. 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.
No, we need mutual aid, including a solid barter/swap system. Saying “I’d love to do something about this, but I can’t not work, I need the money” is how they keep us compliant. Community aid and support is how subvert that.
If the Democrats believe they have no power and no idea what they can possibly do @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social then they should step down and let us find someone who does believe they have the obligation to represent the people! Maybe talk to @aoc.bsky.social and @sanders.senate.gov they know
They are the enabling institution that is responsible for the nightmare - particularly Mitch McConnell. These weak and venal creatures are squarely to blame for not holding onto our democratic republic. Ben Franklin was right to say “if you can keep it.”
All this bullshit again. NATO only expanded eastward because the Eastern European countries asked them to, because they knew Russia was becoming authoritarian under Putin. If Russia was a real democracy and allowed Belarus and Ukraine to be genuinely democratic, this wouldn't have happened..
What a load of tripe.
Nonsense.
And further proof that smart people can also be imbeciles, especially those convinced of their intellectual superiority.
Contrary to the betrayal narrative cultivated by Russia today, the USSR was never offered a formal guarantee on the limits of NATO expansion post-1990. Moscow merely distorts history to help preserve an anti-Western consensus at home.
in 2014, former president of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev said “The topic of ‘NATO expansion was not discussed at all, and it wasn’t brought up in those years. I say this with full responsibility”.
This perfectly sums up how I feel. The population is pissed, elected dems are off doing god knows what while a few try and do something while the Nazis are just allowed to run wild while the media tries to normalize it.
One of the BIGGEST problems is the media! People should be protesting outside "Faux News" so they can't ignore you! (I'm in Canada or that's what I would be doing)
mark, proof has surfaced that Elon and Trump manipulated election results. the Election Truth Alliance has found through data analysis that the election results were manipulated in all Swing states. And that there should be an audit of Nevada. https://youtu.be/6G8fu50VRXo?si=JFuJQbG1195rA5bM
There's no credibility to this. This "alliance" was just formed in December 2024 and there's nothing to corroborate the claims. Voter suppression might have happened. That's not the same as literally changing votes. Spreading conspiracies doesn't help fix anything.
Changed or deleted, there is no proof. Can you find any corroborating evidence for this outside of a group that just started two months ago and people repeating what they're saying?
Trump winning is a tough pill to swallow, but that's what happened. That's the truth.
Did you ever think that when you were playing a character that became the face of a resistance that you would become a resister in real life. THANK YOU. May the force be with you and the rest of us. WE THE PEOPLE
I just want to say I've listened to the Star Wars radio drama on YouTube and I wish that was the version of the movie, I got to know a lot more about Luke and that he was seen as an outsider amongst his friends.
The German election is tomorrow, Sunday. If you know sone Germans, tell them to Vite for Volt!
It's time for a European party in the Bundestag - we need Germany thinking European and Volt guarantees that.
Sad to say, this is what is actually happening today. Too many people unwilling to stand up and stop this dictatorship until they themselves are victimized. The problem is unlike in the movies, death is permanent and you can't fight a dictatorship from the grave.
By extorting 🇺🇦 for its minerals we are telling the world that US power is available as long as your the high bidder, makes us mercenaries who don’t care about wrong or right.
If the US takes the natural resources from them, where will Ukraine get the financial resources to rebuild their country?
Well, considering the US Presidency was sold by the Felon of Mar-A-Lago for $260 Million...
Colonialists/invaders do not care about rebuilding countries - They only seek to exploit land and people.
I remember the amazing work you did with #U24 in helping to raise money for anti-mining equipment. You're a real hero Mark.
If I recall correctly, a #NAFO Fella was made about you. Me personally, and I hope you don't mind my saying this, you'll always be Luke Skyflorker to me lol
Wherever you live in the nation, if you can get to DC, this is our opportunity to show up Powerfully United, and show the world we Reject this Felonious TRAITOR.
This is your Advance Notice
Start planning now
WE NEED A HUGE CROWD
March 4th - Washington, DC
U.S. Capitol- Noon
I recommend finding a place to stay near a metro station and taking the metro to the Capitol, as parking is a challenge. There are hotels in Virginia and Maryland on the metro line which will be less expensive than DC.
I know. I verify everything. Is it satire? Is it real? Scary times when we can’t tell the difference. They even introduced legislation for a third term.
This is Europe calling: I sure hope Americans you will stand up to this orange felon you made your 47th president, before he destroys all where we (you and us) used to stand for.
Maybe you could have the same care you have for peace, democracy and freedom for Palestinians that you do for the us and Ukraine, instead of blindly supporting a reigime that has been opressing palestinians in many of the same way trump is trying opress certain Americans and foreigners
All I hear is a lot of people calling on the democratic party to save America. A couple of points. A: you (America) didn't vote them to a position where they could. B: where are "we the people"? We the people need to get up and fight for their country. It will take every single one of you.
No I don't, but does it make a difference to where America and its people are today? No sadly. I don't think the orange turd and his muppet are going to gracefully give the presidency back either. If Americans want their country back, I honestly think that you will have to fight for it.
Yes, but what are we fighting for? Going back to the way it was before Trump? People voted for Trump because they wanted change. He’s not delivering the kind of change they wanted, but what is the radical reformation We the People actually want?
No, but I live in CT. I’m not one of the lucky people who actually get to decide who’s president. The incumbent party has lost the election the last 3 times. That’s a resounding defeat of the institutions, not a particular party.
Horrible, citizens forgot what it means to #Resist
It begins w/ organized sabotage of their rollout, the time is now. If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.
#Resist
Yes, if Americans are counting on free and fair midterms, if they happen at all, then they haven't been paying attention. And btw you don't have that long to wait at this rate.
I love it. But I still want to know if my old friend Kurt Thomas (rest his soul) did stunts for you in Return. It has been a rumor amongst my cohort of gymnasts and when I asked Kurt about it he was super cagey. Sadly I can’t ask him again. So? I will be so appreciative either way. Thank you!
Now, will you recognize USA is complicit in Gaza genocide? Probably, considering you’re just a blindfolded anti-Trump activist and everything else done by democrats is justified, right?
Well thanks to King Trump we are about to be much more than complicit in it, we are about to take it over so his son in law can build a hotel there or something. And considering we have the largest military in the world by leaps and bounds Trump be much more efficient about geocoding the people.
And he’s given Putin the green light to do whatever he wants. And we’re going to join Russia in its expansion efforts by potentially taking Canada and Greenland by force? And that’s just the military side of things.
He’s also pulled us out of all of the major efforts to save our planet from all the overarching things killing us. He’s gonna make sure that if a disease that was figured out a century ago doesn’t kill you, global warming will soon!
So yes, continue to go off about a group of politicians that don’t have any power anymore for being arms dealers. I’m sure yelling at a celebrity about it on the internet will help!
Yeah, folks who can't use game theory to plot the course to the end, where the USA stops supplying Israel with anything and then Russia and China step in and allow the Israelis to commit complete genocide in Gaza and the West Bank without the blink of an eye and the USA has no way to stop it.
Will you admit giving aid and comfort, help, shelter and power to a terrorist organization pretending to be a government entity with it's leaders hiding like cowards underground and in other countries was always going to lead to this? Not maybe, perhaps, possibly but absolutely was always going to
lead to this? I am so sorry for what is happening to the children of Palestine, they had no part or say in what lead to this war, I am so sorry for those who didn't recognize or vote, back when they still could, for hamas.. Elections have consequences, hamas in power was always gonna lead to this..
This is it right here. They get it. All the pointless pointing and crying foul (that’s illegal!) is doing nothing. They. Don’t. Care. There will never be another free & fair election here unless WE THE PEOPLE rise up. No one else will hold them accountable.

I'm sure your time machine will be very, very helpful to any meaningful modern resistance.
But you have a point. Your generation had so much free time due to cheap housing and guaranteed retirement benefits that you were able to spend it fighting for the future. I just wish you’d won.
Hopefully a large chunk of this country does too

*individual Democrats ARE resisting, BTW.
Look at how many democrats voted to approve Trump appointees.
The spinelessness of the dems is infuriating
That’s why Americans keep losing
.

You wanna protest for things when actual leaders are in office sure, but don't FA when it's election time, do what needs to be done.

Or maybe a fake tunnel drawn on rock!
I'm sure it'll go your way eventually Mr coyote
If the US takes the natural resources from them, where will Ukraine get the financial resources to rebuild their country?
That's best practice to be sure no one is "bought".
You know, like Biden, Biden's son, Biden's brother, Biden's wife, Biden's SOH, Biden's VP, etc.
So you just think it's good practice to give out HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS in taxpayer money, without any contingency to get any of it back?
That's probably why America booted y'all out.
Colonialists/invaders do not care about rebuilding countries - They only seek to exploit land and people.

Seems its more about being a tightropewalker than a Skywalker! 😔
I’ve been following the strip for a while. 👍
People voted for Trump because they are stupid ignorant intellectually dishonest bigots. At least you're not the last of those, presumably.
It begins w/ organized sabotage of their rollout, the time is now. If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.

“Mid-term elections.” (Chuckle)
But.....struggling to contain my rage here....NOW IS NOT THE FUCKING TIME.
