If you can go, go. 5pm today. Last night's cutoff of federal funding by 47 doesn't just mess with the recipients, it violates the Constitution and seizes powers that belong to Congress. It's a dictatorial attempt at consolidation of power in the presidency. www.mobilize.us/climateactio... - ThreadSky

At the granular level, this impacts millions. But take Foster Parents who depend on WIC and SNAP to feed the foster children. This is an abomination. I watched as families depend for the next SNAP or WIC distribution in anxiety.
This is pure sadistic public policy from the billionaires.

He's not even there. He's golfing

Be careful as a huge part of the fascist playbook is to piss off the masses and then jail the protesters. Look at Belarus, Hungary history if you want to see what they did at opposition demonstrations.

Is there an ongoing list of impacts that we can share on our social media?

handi817.bsky.social•25 days ago

This is great but we are not there. We don't live or work there. We need our Reps to order us all over this Country!

Trump's actions are illegal, but is he immune from prosecution because of Trump v. US? Does that mean only the minions carrying out his illegal orders are exposed to prosecution?

It’s F45

High crime or misdemeanor anyone? Fucker

abrxs.bsky.social•25 days ago

Trump and the Republicans wont care. They are all enjoying a holiday in Florida - all paid for by the same taxpayers that they are denying funds to.

What is the mechanism of this action to make it defend federal funding?

Wear a mask to protect your identity.

wildlee.bsky.social•25 days ago

Make it an N95, and reduce Covid spread, too!

whitemoonpotter.bsky.social•24 days ago

Maybe people should freeze paying federal taxes!!! Or mail in tea bags instead of checks.

shaygabriel.bsky.social•25 days ago

Do you know what organization is hosting this?

shaygabriel.bsky.social•25 days ago

Update: It's Climate Action Campaign - a coalition of big greens, EJ org WE ACT and many smaller orgs. Trustworthy! https://www.actonclimate.com/

vrextea.bsky.social•25 days ago

I can’t go, can we fund people?

rebeccasolnit.bsky.social•25 days ago

Dunno, but the ACLU and other organizations taking action can always use support.

jenthetracy.bsky.social•25 days ago

Still protesting the TikTok ban. No space for this sorry.

maniczebra.bsky.social•25 days ago

To be brutally honest, this is WAY more important.

jenthetracy.bsky.social•25 days ago

To be brutally honest, I disagree. Freedom of speech is all we have to combat these injustices. 170 million Americans use TikTok to express themselves.

maniczebra.bsky.social•25 days ago

You can’t TikTok if you’re dead from starvation. 🤷

jenthetracy.bsky.social•25 days ago

You cannot tell people you are dying from starvation if they deplatform you.

maniczebra.bsky.social•25 days ago

There are other social media sites.

kathydale.bsky.social•24 days ago

A federal judge blocked it

lovemyhorse2025.bsky.social•25 days ago

He's going to shoot people for "rioting".

If you don't have an actual gift of accurate prophecy, don't pretend you do on my threads.

itsmikeschwartz.bsky.social•25 days ago

I think that's the direction we are heading anyway unless we as a people choose surrender.

Is it better sooner than later? I think it might be.

biknmusicmama.bsky.social•25 days ago

He actually hid in the bunker during the BLM protests.

theunsoothesayer.bsky.social•25 days ago

Why are we still trying to play by the rules with people who are corruptly destroying everything we care about? Fuck rallies.

jamesfromqueens.bsky.social•25 days ago

Hegseth getting a stiffy thinking Trump might ask him to get troops to shoot protester kneecaps.

Sharing across other platforms

alpacahair.bsky.social•25 days ago

Withholding the taxes we pay to the federal government would be more effective than going for a walk and yelling about it.

rebeccasolnit.bsky.social•25 days ago

That's irrelevant to this emergency demanding immediate action.

alpacahair.bsky.social•25 days ago

I agree this emergency demands immediate action—but lasting solutions require more than symbolic gestures. Walking and yelling might vent frustration, but they rarely change policy. How can we channel this urgency into something that forces accountability?

darwinwoodka.bsky.social•25 days ago

Doing that too. Personally I'm not filing til CA gets its disaster relief funding.

abigailsw.bsky.social•25 days ago

Be safe

1961carol.bsky.social•25 days ago

Yes, it does, and again, he's in violation of the Impound Act. Congress/Senate has the final say. Instead of reporting what he's done, the government and media can stop all this chaos with facts and how he'll be stopped.

Would love to go, but KY is quite the drive.

mcdjtomorrows.bsky.social•25 days ago

Doesn’t this mean that anyone following Trump’s orders is breaking the law?

scrummybummymom.bsky.social•25 days ago

Please watch the video I posted and be very careful. They are itching to declare martial law.

dpman.bsky.social•25 days ago

I commend you for this, but you know 47 doesn’t give a shit how much of how often you protest.

rebeccasolnit.bsky.social•25 days ago

Understand that this is not for an audience of one. It's for Congress, the press, the public, etc.

jofromeurope.bsky.social•25 days ago

Make sure they can't ignore it anymore.

carriethesage.bsky.social•25 days ago

I don't know that that's a given, actually! Remember how the 2020 protests really got under his skin? No, he didn't change his ways, but the whole movement was a huge thorn in his side, and I would call anything that could irritate a powerful fascist absolutely essential right now.

nonnarama.bsky.social•25 days ago

Monitor the lawsuits here. https://attorneysgeneral.org/multistate-lawsuits-vs-the-federal-government/list-of-lawsuits-1980-present/

If you can't go, then organize your own rally in your town.
