It’s seriously looking like Blue States are going to have to band together and figure out how we survive this crisis without any help from the federal regime.
Does anyone out there know how we can do this and what it could look like?

What’s happening now is 100% fucking bullshit.
Time for pitchforks. Just say where and when.
Say the quiet part outloud: desperate times require desperate measures. It's time for organized, discreet but pointed, surgical "acts of force."
Aka, "Violence."
We can be peaceful after.
Make our own Education department….
I’m in Tennessee and it’s almost taxation without representation at this point. Especially when they make it a felony for my representation to vote against them.
Yes, it’s a thing. Felony to vote to make Tennessee sanctuary for migrants.
I’m trying to focus on the Great Lakes because that’s my home. So I have ideas, but no action plan.
I think first steps would be various interstate compacts between regional partners.
The coastals, Midwest, and a few disparate states.
"NEED TO BE KILLED" !! YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA ?
States can fund their own mutual aid networks, that would be a good start.
Then, we move on to help our fellow Blues in red states. Welcome to all ideas.
There should be.
That'll rattle their fragile cages.
Trust.... If everyone in blue states, if all Democrat supporter NATIONWIDE stopped paying taxes.
That would FREAK THEM THE FUCK OUT.
They wouldn't know what to do.
They'd be blubbering messes.
People will be shit scared to stop paying tax, some might even not know how to do it.
Keep the spreading the idea, and refer to it as a legitimate form of mass protest to match this specific situation we're in.
How will they enforce it when they are GUTTING the federal workforce?
This would be the perfect time for a mass, nationwide tax protest.
Stem the flow of $$$ to the federal government, choke them out, bring them to heel.
They'll try to scare us individually like what ICE is doing, they'll threaten prison, deportation, financial ruin.
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees. Not today President Musk, not ever
And.
For those of you in Red States, I am not proposing leaving you behind. I am wondering aloud how we start a states movement where we are in the majority.
You'd surely have the right to do that.
If California keep it tax money it should be able to rebuild 🤔🤔🙄🙄
Impose a land tax that must be paid with your state reserve balances
Spend your new reserves into existence
Accept deposits of USD notes and coins
Elizabeth May had an idea when trump proposed stealing our country
https://www.youtube.com/live/SQu5IsRcXZg?si=ge6cBtXOwQy1reGQ
That’s what.
We have to do something or none of it will matter.
Imports will certainly be blocked by navy/coast guard
And yet, I am stubborn, as she is, and plan on staying in my home state and fighting the jackass fascists.
My fellow federal employees… every night when you’re done for the day set up an automated email reply. It doesn’t have to be nasty…
“I’m currently out of the office and will return (tomorrow).”
The thousands of replies Musk will have to wade through each day should be fun to imagine!
Join EU with Canada
State lines will have little to do with it.
#RedStateWelfare and #redstatesocialism to become a thing.
1) The US military
2) nuclear weapons
Note: I fervently wish for a peaceful political solution to neutralize the tyrant and his grifter cronies.
Not sure where to start but I’m planning to write my state and local leadership to start organizing now.
Any interest?

Build a wall.
We share Canada border, meet for lunches, play cards, etc.
Reds eat each other and wiped out by weather events!
I wonder if this idea could ever happen? I have had several Canadians say we would be more than welcome. No REDS tho...of course not.😁
Sure is a fun idea though...
COOL, more states the better. 🙂
Virginia is Blue & GA is getting there.
Gladly! We blues are self-sufficient, and take care of each other, and others! We love Canadians...I am northern, so north I can walk to your border!

We need 11million people to engage SIMULTANEOUSLY
These scattered, disorganized protests will wear us out before they wear anyone else out!
I’m sorry but I can’t see any other way forward for your country
You have to start over.
More organization, cooperation and communication between different groups who are running these things and working them.
More armed leftist to defend these things.
Now for me the thing is calling your reps all of them - there’s the new “five call” app for getting into a repeat pattern
Also showing up at protests with meaningful signs
And good trouble, mischief
You’ll have to be creative
I get so frustrated at 10+ word chants that really aren't clear, and everyone trying to "out clever" each other...
And also not pressuring Republicans. Why are people afraid to protest their Republican reps?
It’s serious revolution time - resist, resist, speak out , take actions, stage “events”. Boycott, don’t support any businesses that go along
I ditched Google, challenge the so called authorities ask questions

General strikes, service disruptions, protest, withholding products and resources from red states.
It will take a leader unaffraid to take bold and peaceful action and form alliances. But action is key.
I’m Thinking about it
I like educating people when they least expect to be
Hit with some truth
Give every citizen a plot of land plus universal basic income from it.
PA has gone completely insane.
We're bluer than you think.
Union with EU is also plausible.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlargement_of_the_European_Union
The US states need to be admitted to Canada as probationary territories - let's see how they adjust to parliamentary democracy, universal healthcare, and gun control.
Once they prove themselves, they can become provinces.
and a functioning federal government.
the Trump/MAGA cult.
Hmm… can we maybe halve the red states? They can go somewhere and do the Cheeto cult thing and enjoy wall building and we go not there and enjoy life? 🤔
Meanwhile I found a new job for a well-known parts company that welcomes me, gay and all.
That's the United States we live in. Hate and smile as you hate them.
While I might enjoy the thought of living in my grandmother’s country of Canada, I think it’s best to stay here and fight the fascist regime.
Gung ho methods
Introducing ideas or thoughts foreign to their minds
If you let them simmer in the constant brew of hate &/or mind Grenades in the opinionated laced show's, then your conversation will slough off as inconsequential. It works

Potentially alienating blue/indy voters in "red" states is not actually useful or even very smart.
You need to add Deficit myth by Stephanie kelton to your reading list
You get 3 slimmy millionaires, we'll offer you free health care.
Wanna?
We must look for solutions at the state level and ignore the feds as much as possible.
Since the Depression, the Dems have tended to look to the federal government to solve problems. Time to change that focus.
This is looking like the direction we will want to take, if we want to hold on to any hope. 🩵
One can only hope all the women will flee to states that understand that A Handmaiden’s Tale is about a fictional dystopia.
The democrats have proven that they hate us and they will not stand against the Fascist Republicans.
How do you lose EVERY. BRANCH. then congratulate yourselves on your failure. DEMOCRATS FAILED US!!!!
Don’t leave them out

I think most of the white Americans have tasted the heroin of fascism and liked it. They now like it better than democracy or their friends and family who are minorities.
Asheville, Altadena, palisades,
Anywhere $$ is needed
The governors can set it up
Pritzker, newsom, Shapiro
Stein etc…
Birds don't care about Red or Blue States. Birds fly everywhere.

He suggested federal disaster funds go directly to the GOPs coffers. Blatantly corrupt.
CA dollars stay in CA and not to to some washed up nfl players crooked projects.
Listen, we told those fucks not to put their goddamn hands on the stove and they did it anyway. Now we get burned with them? No. I refuse. And I hope CA keeps every penny she can.
We spend billions helping y’all and get hate and scorn in return. We shouldn’t enable them any further
the thing she doesn’t seem to get thru her thick head is that BLUE STATES ARE TOO. We have no obligation to hand our tax money over to the GOP and if we’re made to we shouldn’t.
Now I do hope California does keep funding from child bride red states. I don’t want ikr money supporting unrepentant pedophiles and their religious nonsense.
Because you’d have to believe some deeply stupid, unthinking, uninformed shit like that to believe any part of what you say is true, Agnes. We have nothing to do with the actions of the obese CHOMO in charge.
Blue voters in red states pissed? Take it up with the pedo in chief.
HE started drawing distinctions between whether people deserve help or not based on their state. Not us.
Create our own CDC. Publish our owns Stats on Infections and Vax saturation. Bank our taxes.
Its free and they show which brands support who. It updates every month

If the rule of law slips away, what states will fight & what states embrace it? We need push back on blue & red state leaders to do the right thing. But … which leaders will stand up & say fuck no to the regime? Who will fight to protect the people?
Long-term? Likely something similar to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact to sync up policy and formalize reciprocal aid like disaster response.
There’s lots of purple and some more reddish and some more blueish
but in all states you’ll see there are red areas.
Like they withhold pay from workers as Republicans ?!
Civil war and looking necessary.
You asked
Trump said to basically let the states fend for themselves. Maybe we should....
why should we allow them to bankrupt us?
Isn't that what they understand?
Form a milita?
As former FD odds are we have a "mutual aid agreement"
