"I hope we shall … crush in it’s birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength, and to bid defiance to the laws of their country." T.Jefferson November 12, 1816 No democracy or happiness as long as billionaires own us.

American Moment. MAGA youth group quietly training conservatives… says it aims to produce “10,000 Stephen Millers…. have trained several thousand young conservatives." Trainees genuinely believe in a lot of the ideas that got Trump elected — but they want these ideas to outlast Trump and Vance. -RS

Reality Salary raises: Same projected in 2027, 3.1% merit, 0.4% bonus. The Conference Board Inflation: 3.4% past 12 mos. US target is 2.2% What raise?: 3.1% is -.3% & 2.2% is +.9%. NYC strikes: Nurses, 4yrs @ 3%/year. MTA, back salary 3% each year 2023-25. 2026, 4.5%. You're galloping in place.

For 2+ years, our government has been at war to end our democracy. Friday, 9/4/26, Trump appointed federal judge nailed it: 'We the People' "have no right to water untainted by lead." IOW, health, safety and public welfare yields to the wealthiest and business producing $$. Democracy IS dead.

Jamie Raskin, "…they're just focused on trying to undermine the election or take the election through some kind of strategic mischief." Why the concern? "We see no evidence of Republican activity anywhere, I don't even see MAGA hats anymore…." "We're not seeing Republican campaigning…." Too late?

100 days until Election Day. The countdown has begun. Street protests and doing nothing will not stop them from taking America and ending OUR rights and freedoms. We have to defend our Constitution and democracy They'l turn off cell phone and internet services 99, 98, 97,…5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Gone.

7/4 is over and time to get real. King Trump under the direction of the wealthiest, corporatists, Putin, plus have successfully converted our pathetic democracy to an authoritarian mess. 300 million citizens allowed this to happen. Welcome to long dark days in hell, depression, sadness, slavery….

WH fraud is active 7/24, 90%± free speech snuffed, the DJT violent goons operate nationwide, military carries out illegal orders, and James Madison et al's government has been corrupted, especially SCOTUS. Authoritarianism is the new normal and all is quiet under our malignant narcissist leader.

What can be done with the $1.776 billion Trump is stealing from taxpayers? 1. He pockets $1.25 billion — such an honest soul. 2. Buys the oath keepers, proud boys, etc. to spice up his goon squad and spill more blood. 3. Gives friends a token payoff. 4. Gold crown. We'll claw back all grifted $$.

We the People must demand changes to SCOTUS. To understand SCOTUS's intent, consider: A list of each category of citizens targeted to benefit and not to benefit from this decision(s) shall be included with every decision. How those to benefit will benefit shall be noted. (Without filibustering.)

We the People must demand changes to SCOTUS. This is one to be considered: Every formal decision shall include an official list of desired and undesired consequences rationally and reasonably expected and permitted to occur as a result of the enclosed decision. (Without filibustering.)

Trump wants to pay reparations to lawbreaking and tried and sentenced fairly for breaking the law J6'ers from a $1.7 BILLION Trump pot funded by We the People. (Wealthy Elite Class exempted?) Haven't We the People had enough of this failed person? Jettison him and ALL of his lousy puppets — ASAP!

US redefined: Competitive authoritarian countries have democratic rules and hold competitive elections, but the party in charge uses various tactics to tilt the electoral playing field in its favor to maintain power. h/t NPR IMO, US is first libertarian with authoritarianism. Wealthiest own the US.

Is there any happiness left in this country? 250 years. Collectively, are we proud? Trump is not a king but does the sovereigns work hacking our Constitution and slaves with a machete. SCOTUS shields them both. I am ashamed of our country for what was done to Nurul Amin Shah Alam. Trump knows.

DT has lost Iran (10wks, 4d), the biggest loss since Vietnam (12yrs). He and Toddd Blankkk are in bad moods and are turning up the hate for the Constitution, truth, democracy, and "We the People". They think Americans will not end DT's autocracy and make the US a real democracy and end inequality.

Voters fled the dems after Obama – the dems failed the Bottom 90% from 2008 to '16. In 2016 & '24, Trump promised help but was lying. Biden 2020, a bit better than Obama, DID NOT HELP MAKE ENDS MEET. Ignore the House/Senate. ACTUALLY HELP THE STRUGGLING BOTTOM 90% REPUBS AND DEMS! We are fed up.

The World Happiness Report: Hungary 74, conditions during polling 2023-2025. In two years, higher. The US? 23rd. Next year? Down. Finland #1 again (social democracy) Happier than the US in this poll are: Mexico Kosovo Slovenia Czechia United Arab Emirates Saudi Arabia +15 others Happiness?

The senior pastor of the First Baptist Church believes 47 has a better understanding of biblical teachings than Pope Leo XIV. So much for common sense, credibility, judgement. Facts: DT 47 is a chronic liar, pervert, felon, thief, murderer, bunco artist, failed businessman, grifter, and traitor.

NY Times article, "We Determined the Real Damage to U.S. Military Bases" Check out the videos. Americans killed or injured, equipment lost. Let's work on punishing Putin for aiding the Iranians success targeting Americans. He must not set foot on our soil and we, Russian soil. (NYC/UN excluded)

Trump and his woodheaded puppets are gearing up to denaturalize the first group of many citizens they intend to deport. Trump may try to apply that to born citizens he dislikes. If he does, based on what he has done with his life, right up to the present, that family would qualify for deportation.

From Politico: Texas floods, "FEMA’s top official said that the ‘vast majority’ of calls were answered during the deadly Texas floods.…new data indicates that the agency failed to answer 58% of the calls, and the average wait was 61 minutes at the peak." End the lying in government and media!

The Economist has in its possession a 10 page Russia to Iran offering of accurate munitions. It notes their purpose is to kill Americans, Putin's best friend Trump, positioned to be the targets. Is Trump not treasonous? Rage? Why does Trump still have a job? Fire him and indict him. Lose the key.

Trump's America? Kill So. American 'drug runners'. Carrier Strike Group (CSG) to Venezuela. US force abducts Venezuelan leader. Two CSGs, war planes to Iran. Unjustified Iran attack, no end plan. Screw Congress, violate the Constitution. Screw TX voters, choose GOP US Sen primary winner. Apathetic!!

Iran has highly skilled and experienced killers. Iran punishes in kind. America's national security requires the best, smartest, knowledgeable, skilled, and experienced FBI agents and teams. Why did Patel and Trump fire the elite CI-12 squad, the brightest Iran FBI agents? Ans.: Dumb and dumber.

Trump intends to steal the '26 and '28 elections in violation of "the nation's fundamental law", the US Constitution. Indict him ASAP: Rebellion or Insurrection, 18 U.S. Code § 2383; or Seditious Conspiracy, 18 U.S. Code § 2384; or Advocating overthrow of Government, 18 U.S. Code § 2385.

Trump intends to steal the '26 midterm and '28 general elections in violation of the US Constitution, "the nation's fundamental law." "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government…."

Trump will steal the midterms. There are no laws or organizations to stop him. Believe it. Get mad! The plan? 17 pages. Protesting in the streets will not change his mind or stop him. Better to make friends with red state voters. Required is a new national effort to stop him.

Democrats in Congress, you should end taking — or act like you are not taking — funding from the wealthiest and corporatists. Otherwise, you are compromised. Do the right thing to save democracy in the USA. We must remove and replace the administration now. Or, in 1, 2 or 3 years we'll have a king.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were murdered in Minneapolis by federal employees, Trump's goons. They were murdered with the lethal weapons and accessories the goons should not have. Our government, Trump's administration, is lawless. We the People say, End this lawless government now!

2025 saw great protests across the country. During that year, Trump made significant progress in converting the country to an autocracy with him as king. Three weeks into 2026, his momentum to destroy USA continues gaining speed, breadth and depth. Next, let's try a national referendum on Trump.

How about organizing a specific date text message to Trump such as, "We the American people demand you, Donald Trump, having failed as the people's President, resign the Office of the President immediately." Invite all of America and plead for 100 million+ citizens to sign on. It's a referendum.

She's so fine.

@maddow.bsky.social Enjoyed Snyder and Maddow. Informing & protesting the treatment of undocumented and legal migrants will not end Trump's cruelty. CBS and now Warner to be owned by foreign and domestic billionaires is actually a step to total authoritarianism. Focus? Ending authoritarianism.

Supervising the 3 branches of government by 'We the People' is foundational for democracy aka direct democracy (Swiss). How? 'Super jurors' (SJ) for limited assignment to branches re popular issues. Ex., review Dobbs and presidential immunity and order SCOTUS to vacate their rulings. We decide.

Why aren't the democrats fighting for democracy? Trump is demolishing our democracy day and night, makes asinine comments daily along with endless blunders. These are opportunities to expose the real trump. Only Newsom has landed punches to the aged one's fat belly and bloviating jaw. Well dems?

Civicus, a non-profit coalition of global civil society organizations, has downgraded the US civic health rating from "narrowed" to "obstructed". "The group cited a 'sharp deterioration of fundamental freedoms….'" linking the US to 39 other countries including Hungary, Brazil and South Africa.

NO DEMOCRACY FOR AMERICA UNTIL THE BILLIONAIRES HAVE BEEN NEUTRALIZED. I have been sharing that thought for years. Why? Billionaire Joe Lonsdale of evil Palantir is 1) pushing "masculine leadership" and 2) proposing public hangings for 'men' guilty of three violent crimes. Elite's NWO.

Did Epstein provide the Russians with examples of DJT's participation in Epstein/Maxwell activities? They are unethical and immoral scoundrels. Sharing with the Russians might explain DJT's 'Vice President, Sycophant, Yes Man, Gofer' to Putin. No 'pee tapes'? DJT… Traitor? Screwed US. The End?

A 'direct democracy' might be an effective way to deal with all three branches of government. Problem #1? The wealthiest, GOP and, apparently, SCOTUS hate democracy. Switzerland has been a (limited) direct democracy since the 13th C and 1848 (constitutionalized).

Democracy is defined as "government by the people: rule of the majority." h/t M-W Not surprising, the wealthy are engaged in very serious planning to continue as the sovereignty controlling the chattel slaves post-Trump. Focus on their organization, Rockbridge Network. Also, how to counter. NOW!

Moody’s: top 20% of households in the US are responsible for economic growth, while the bottom 80% have essentially been stagnant.  Oxfam: the 10 wealthiest Americans gaining nearly $700 billion so far this year. With Trump's destruction, the title could be "The Sovereigns and the Chattel Slaves".

Guardian article, "Top 10 US billionaires collective wealth grew by $698bn in past year" And, Trump had a "Great Gatsby"-themed Halloween party? Small corrupt government, no regulations, ongoing privatizing blitz, etc. 55y.o. billionaires' dreams realized. Workers' yearly raise? Avg. 3%. Or 0%.

Sen. Grassely, "I think not having the estate tax recognizes the people that are investing ... as opposed to those that are just spending every darn penny they have, whether it's on booze or women or movies." That's why 3% worker raises. Since 1970s, the 1% has controlled the USA, $$$ and power.

It appears from what Trump has published via his truth social: TRUMP HAS DECLARED A 2ND CIVIL WAR! Congressional democrats, there is no reason to talk to the GOP. You should be talking to THE PEOPLE of red and blue state Rs, Is and Ds. Forget DC. You have been wasting time and gained nothing.

"Trump agenda mirrors playbook of authoritarians" MSNBC Duh. Many, many well intentioned individuals describe examples of Trump's progress. Enough! No more! Meanwhile, we check off real democracy losses and authoritarian gains. How close to tipping? 249 years of democracy. No stopping now!!!

We the People have many objectives before us as we remove the fascists from our country and restore democracy — a 'direct democracy'. Life is all about living. People and a good, healthy life are most important. Taming AI and greed to protect We the People and democracy should be high on our list.

Obviously, there are internal and external existential threats to the health, safety and welfare of Americans. Our Constitution has been nullified by ignoring it and the 3 branches collapsed by intimidation. Cites are readily available and unnecessary. The point? What are we going to do about it?

Top 1% does not want the SNAP funding to go to Americans in need. Medicaid is to be reduced by $980 billion. Why? A Rand Corp study revealed the Top 1% has taken about $51 trillion from workers since the early 70s. Taking is their style: SNAP and Medicaid helps pay for their $1 trillion tax cut.

Trump is sending two FBI agents to question protest attendees in their homes; using first names only. The target could not answer minor questions and "they kept insinuating that I was lying to them." Intimidation worked. The target did not attend the NO KINGS event. Share further cases.

MW: democracy, "Government by the people: rule of the majority". He's using other people's money to build his crap WH addition and The Trump Triumphal Arch, and line his pockets. He did not get our approval. The crap he builds should be demolished upon his exit; his family shall refund all costs.
