Please help make this go viral! We have to step up our game because our representatives are clearly not going to save us from this fast moving coup! The only thing we really can do that's nonviolent is slow production. Cost them money. Don't get fired. Don't hurt anyone. But do more where youcan
The reality is rippling across the nation and all the levels of social groups. Some people stay so distanced from news and media that they have had no clue the current reality. Like, besides the people who are only tuned in to Trump-media.
oh we're PISSED, But there's literally nothing I can directly do. I can and and calling my representatives, who are now in the minority, and asking/demanding them to do everything they can in their power.
hopefully Europe will pick up the slack.
Trump is also trying to destroy American prosperity with his trade wars and crypto reserve in addition to everything else, and a government shutdown is two weeks from now.
We’re not going to take it well in the long run, but it might be a long wait for you in the short term.
Please have patience this is our first time doing this too 😉
Americans will, but they will be stuck in democratic process for 4 years unfortunetely. They voted for this and they need to bear it for that time period.
Luckily if the 'center' votes to stop the madness in 2026 (mid terms), they can at least slow the madness for the next two years. The question is does the US want to go back to be a politcal moderate global leader?
If it loses 3 seats in both houses, the calculations change. The Democrats stop having this belief that you win eventually if you play by the rules. A sweep in 2028 should be achievable then strong safeguards enshrined and enforced. Other countries need to do the same before they get swallowed up
Americans as nation in majority voted for them. You are part of America. The same way like I did not vote for current Slovak government but as Slovak nation we voted for them. I am part of Slovak nation, that is my responsibility as well... I need to work more to get back Slovakia on track.
Yes you are technically correct. USA does not have absolute majority but proportional voting system based number of citizens in each state. Then lets call it majority in USA voting system :)
They do not know. Very well to do and intelligent, educated, compassionate people I know told me last night Trump's changes will HELP American and world security.
They believe there must be pain for gain.
THEY ARE TRUMPERS who won't feel the pain - for a while anyway.
The USA is going through its own domestic hell. While support for Ukraine is there, it is not high on the list of priorities due to the immediacy of our own domestic problems.
And, ~40% are indifferent or worse. This is MAGA cult members, who are lost in disinformation
There are many that object but at this point we have to protect ourselves. And we aren't doing a very good job at that. Best case is to get Europe to provide more assistance. We won’t be reliable ally.
I don’t think an average American knows how much trouble their country is, Mira.
This is but a symptom…
Sending love and strength to you and your countrymen/women. We are with you and although it’s all just become much more difficult we will keep going. 🥹
They won’t be able to do it at scale. Too many people. Best case for them are targeted incarcerations. To fully control the US they'd need 3.5 mil combat troops plus support, logistics, etc.
That's exactly why they want to gut the post office. I’d reckon a run at all mail in or absentee voting in fed elections as a means to voter suppression. Some sort of higher hurdle voter ID push. Voter intimidation and suppression at a greater scale and speed than now.
i remember of those russian protests lead by Nemtsov… Now Nemtsov is history and tyranny triumphed there.
Americans need to understand they are fighting a different animal now.. Trump and his administration they have mpre in common with Putin and and United russia than they have with Bush and GOP.
Sadly many Americans don’t know the difference between Ukraine and UK. Europe should have done more earlier.
Today’s plan from the EU is a start.

Democrats in Congress should highlight this was *exactly* what Trump was impeached for in his first term. That aid was agreed by Congress. They should file impeachment charges at least. The public though? Too much else going on to devote much attention to it. That may also be by design.
Foreign policy was around 10% in the list of concerns on most pre-election polls. I'm guessing it's not a priority for them. Consequences of that are already pretty obvious. World is definitely a different place now.
I made a donation to @u24.gov.ua and canceled instagram and X. I’m not buying anything on Amazon. Cancelled plans to buy a couple of big ticket items. Pretty much just buying food & wine now while watching the US economy and democracy go off a cliff.
I have also donated to @u24.gov.ua and have decided IF Musk gives us all a $5000 “refund” I’m donating the whole thing to Ukraine. Fortunately I’m in a financial position that I can do so, I’m hoping others would also consider donating as much as they can.
A government that doesn’t respect the rule of law isn’t being stopped by the rule of law.
The opposition will not save their democracy playing by the rules.
Probably the only viable case would be if a republican senator (with a conscience) lead a re-coup to save what haven’t been destroyed already
Many already are.
We have been demonstrating for you, and will continue to fight for you.
Every day I display a Ukrainian flag pin on my backpack, and use my voice to speak out for you.
I'm angry. I'm embarrassed. If I had any influence at all, it wouldn't be happening. Just an average American, who didn't vote for him. All I can do is make my voice heard, my opinions known and say "sorry" for what is transpiring. I stand with Ukraine. I wish I had more ways to help.

T won with a plurality
I saw a comparison, if Germany used the US electoral college system. The government would be almost completely CDU (~70%) and afd (~25)
This is part and parcel of how the United States ends up with such terrible politicians

But the thing is, Trump is horrendous for US interests
The single most traitorous thing he's doing is the completely unnecessary dispute with Canada & Mexico
It makes zero sense unless you actually want to harm America
The intent is to get producers who want access to the gigantic American market to build factories in America.
But pissing off all the governments by bullying isn't the answer at all.
This is but a symptom…

Conflate with USAID - 20%
Protest - 1%
Deeply concerned - 19%
Doesn't even register - 25%

Everywhere. All at once. All the time. ♾️
I happen to be an American.🇺🇸
Non-human "thinkers" prove their stake by choosing violence. Against them, always.
Proportional self-defense is always justified.
#coachlove to #cancelviolence
These illiterates have zero understanding why US was and is that wealthy!
And more...🇺🇸❤️🇺🇦

I am not alone.
I’m so sorry.
What this fascist administration is doing is reprehensible and will be opposed ✊
