It's unreal how many are willing to bow down to FFOTUS. Do they not realize how badly this is going to end for them? Are they just greedy chicken shits or are they dumb? I would like to know their thinking on this.

"Homegrowns are next." Not a gaffe—a blueprint. Trump told Bukele he wants to deport U.S. citizens to foreign prisons. That’s not justice. That’s regime logic First: immigrants. Then: legal residents. Now: citizens Liberty doesn’t vanish all at once. It’s dismantled—quietly, legally, deliberately

Rachel Maddow recently reported: DOGE—Elon Musk’s tech arm of government—is under investigation after a whistleblower exposed a possible data breach tied to Russian IPs. This isn’t new—it’s the long game in motion. Putin’s blueprint has been decades in the making. Previously mapped it out here.

Bukele is Trump’s new "fixer" who receives shipments of mostly innocent people, who were wrongly arrested and deported. This legitimizes the transnational concentration camps to help a superpower unburden itself of unwanted bodies - see Ruth Ben-Ghiat's article: lucid.substack.com/p/bukeles-bo...

*Coalition building* 💙🌱 everyone has to stop telling others that, someone else needs to step up and just keep speaking up. More locally as much as possible, even if it's on social media, the local connections have more direct impact in just having the ability in others to confide these issues with.

Building trust that others can talk to you about these things whether they might have slightly different views on these issues than you because we all have a common threat it's just hard to sometimes bridge that for people

Every member of the 119th congress has to ask themselves are you really going to just go quietly into the night & let democracy die without a fight? Or, are you going to stand up to authoritarianism & just say NOT HERE IN AMERICA. NOT NOW, NOT EVER. Only THEY can answer that question.

Autocrats can't be unelected or impeached. They must be persuaded to cede power to the people. Rising authoritarianism worldwide inspired me to write an allegorical trilogy on the perils of fascism, failed democracy & race-based subjugation. amazon.com/dp/B0B1JNBCTK?

There are no legal means to defeat an enemy who has put the law aside. When the law is dead the only way back to freedom is violence. History gives ample dates that bear testimony to this harsh reality. 1775, 1789, 1815, 1848, 1865, 1918, 1945. The US is on a crossroads in history.Freedom isn’t free

PS: So many resistance groups seem to be organizing to resist the dictatorship of the Cult of the Golden Calf...if they take too long these groups will lose because they're up against the Golden Calf and his politicians...other than half a dozen voices, where are the democrats...where are they...

From what I see and have heard, it sounds like the AOC and Bernie Sanders rallies are drawing thousands and thousands of people...makes me wonder, are the "maga" (MOSCOW AGENTS GOVERNING AMERICA) counter-demonstrating, or do they expect their politicians to cripple the democracy crowds...

It is time for the normal Americans of this once mighty nation to start punching the cowardly bag of shit occupying the White House. Then it must be dragged out of that house and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

One of the greatest injustices of all human history: That Trump will lie tonight in the comforts of our sacred White House, after another day of evil intent and acts, rather than where he belongs for so many crimes: lying in a stinky prison cell on a rough bed with one evil eye open. Such injustice.

People say to stand up. But if all stood up. I don’t think FELON 47 would be listening. Impact can only hit the pocket book. Every American should go to their bank and withdraw all their money at the same time. THEN go to the streets in protest. FELON 47 Would be forced to listen by the banks.

Enough “conservative” legislators to sway the balance of power need to renounce this administration and quit their party. The nation is more important than their individual political ambitions. Trump is defecating on the Constitution and destroying the moral order of the USA…

That time is coming gone for current and former Republicans to change sides. The Republican party is the party of tyranny in America that gave Trump power just like the Nazi party did for Hitler. History should not blame Trump, it must blame all Republicans. You did this.

Calling that # is a deflection. The R machine has well oiled mechanized responses. I'm sick to death of "call this number"/ "write an email, op-ed" prescriptions. These dire times compel us to do far more. Here's a starting place I love: wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-t...

We sure aren't gonna get those in power to pay attention by placing calls or sending emails. Both parties are skilled at pretending to listen & care. Acts of resistance that rise above the din are much harder. They require conviction & courage.

Pro(tester) Tip: If you march at a busy intersection, use the crosswalk and erupt in thunderous noise as you cross. Then, let cars go, wait for the next signal to erupt again. Repeat Blocking traffic gives police an excuse to stop you, _and_ letting cars go gets the word out to more happy drivers!

Republicans know they are not popular and they are trying to transform the country while they have power. Trump is desperate to complete the reforms. They are going to get worse. Republicans are in a weak position and they know it. The next generation is going to be far more liberal.

And where does that get us? What purpose does that grudge serve? What purpose is there in such a fight if I don’t even let the other side surrender? There is no civil accountability and there is no crime in growth. I choose empathy and forgiveness, because it is so much more productive.

Sadly, none of this will happen. So long as people still have an internet connection, maintain ownership of their homes, have steady income and food to eat, they will allow a government to do whatever they want without comment or interference. It worked in Germany and it works here, too.
