Raskin knows he didn’t survive cancer just to let these thugs murder democracy. He knows he’s here for a reason. And bless his efforts and the struggle of all who are with him and the many others who will resist and who will prevail.

The first organized protest is on President’s Day nationwide, at the Capitol in DC, at state capitol buildings, or your local City Hall. This is to get Musk out of our govt now.

Then there’s a general strike for 1 day on Feb 28

Then a full blown economic strike that’s to be ongoing for as long as possible;

#SHUTDOWN315 You can find it on FB, Threads, BlueSky, IG, & probably Reddit. Beginning on that day Mar 15 we are supposed to try to the best of our ability to stop buying from the big national/multinational companies & only shop at, eat at small local businesses. Also no work, no school, no travel, for as many days as your able to. Try to even stay off the internet for at least that one day.

Someone did the calculations & we need at least 11M people to participate for it to really be effective. Join us!!

One thing we can do, is call our State Attorney Generals. Ask them if they are filing criminal charges against rat fuck, Elon. I called mine yesterday, Keith Ellison of Minnesota. This guy is like a dog with a bone. I spoke to an agent, who told me AGs across the country are talking. They're putting forth a plan right now. Call yours today.

We should keep in mind that tRump was put into office by 23% of the American population. He won by 1.5% of people who voted and fully 36% of eligible voters stayed home - for reasons. So, we can lay all this rat fuckery at the feet of MAGAts - a small minority, because a much bigger minority was too apathetic. I think it is safe to say that you are already on one of Melon's or tRump's lists. When they get down to punishing people at our level, there will be a full-on pogrom in process.

I think you're giving them too much credit for caring to even listen to you, their constitutes. I appreciate your hesitation. However, unless you make unlawful threats, they don't care what your issue is. They'll just blow you off like they do to everyone. You trust your gut. If you don't feel safe, don't call. For me personally, I'm a fighter. I don't give two shits what people think about me, except my loved ones, of course. I don't have any tolerance for bullies. I don't get intimidated very easily. That comes from a lifetime of having malignant narcissists for parents. I'll bitch slap one for you. I do completely understand your point here.

I'm glad they finally showed up too, fighting this is too important to sit on the sidelines. Every single elected Dem needs to be out there with a bullhorn calling out this bullshit daily and gum up the works as much as possible.

I'd also like to see the Dems endlessly repeat that these "deals" are exactly as described in this post — absolute bullshit that changes nothing. I'm so sick of watching this demented asshole take victory laps over shit that either didn't happen at all or happened under Biden. We can't count on the legacy media actually educating people.

They also need to do a better job calling out WHY the Orange Fuckface is doing what he is doing in general because the media sure as shit isn't doing that either. Why blaming "DEI" for literally everything makes no goddamn sense and is an attempt to deflect blame away from their own corruption and incompetence.

Trump told Mexico and Canada “Imma Tariff You!”

Mexico and Canada said “Got your nose!”

No tariffs, and now Trump has TWO noses!

In 2011, in Lubbock, Texas, Tubby"s wife ran a stop sign and hit an elderly couple. The man died from his injuries after being hospitalized for 4 months. There was never an investigation by police. She was never charged. The wife attempted to sue them. They got blocked by everyone. Then it all just disappeared. Tubby was also part of a Ponzi scheme that sent his partner to prison for 10 years. We have a broken political system.

Good work Lisa59! Things I didn’t know, he is real trouble, I think he’s just goofy but a con as well, dear leader likes that stuff but don’t even think of challenging djt. When in 7th grade played football and the school had all that shit equipment for us like leather helmets and believe me they did not do the job, if somebody stepped on your head (which happens a lot) it would almost make things worse since it made you think you were protected. You were not, I didn’t make it the next year.

In happy news today, the Proud Boys were stripped of control over their trademark. The Metropolitan African Methodist Church won a 2.8 million lawsuit against them for vandalizing their Church. If they want to sell anything, they need Church consent. All monies go to the church anyway.🤭

The Dems awaken! It seems that our Senators are having difficulty entering the building. KICK DOWN THE FUCKING DOOR! It is your responsibility to protect the American people. Congress controls the national checkbook, not Apartheid Clyde! 😡😡😡

Seems like I recall a Black woman who recently ran for President giving us that exact advice:

“Sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open. Sometimes they won't, and then you need to KICK THAT FUCKING DOOR DOWN.”

It is incredible to me that the Democrats sit around talking about how egregious is all of Turnip/Musks doings instead of having a back bone and DOING something. I’m not saying lie, cheat, steal like the Republicans, but, come on, stop moping about and yell about it, continuously - every damn one.

yep, agreed. they are just two busy mopping the floors and the talking about it on talk shows and podcasts exhuming very little power or desire to fight.

AUGH, PLEASE. Senator Van Hollen and a pile of other congresspantywads went to the USAID offices and were told, "Sorry, there's nobody here to talk to you" and weren't let in. So they all went home, because they're very very busy making speeches and posting to social media. This is like they're playing "Mother, May I?" - they're little kids being told, "No, no, Mommy's busy right now. Go play in your room."

"We're going to stop him!" Suuuure you are. You're doing nothing but making words. Meanwhile, Musk & his little band of hackers [because you know Musk couldn't hack his way out of his own lawn] have their hands on multiple government databases which, by now, are almost certainly in the hands of other countries, if not on the dark web.

Until there's actual action, I don't see a positive end for this country.

Keep sticking a mike in front of every fumbduck Rep and Senator make them answer some questions, as opposed to just having them spew "Woke, DEI, etc." and all those other words that are on a loop in their fucking pea-brains and get them on the record for their similarly oxygen-deprived constituents. Speaking of which Keystone Karoline - an insult to blondes everywhere. Wife's blonde and that what she says:-)

The sad yet unsurprising part of this is that the cult really BELIEVES he made deals, and our neighbors “caved”. I’d share the links w the cultists in my life but that would require reading.
