IF enough people don't shop (except for necessities from locally owned stores) corporations might take notice and stop supporting #dtrump 's anti-immigrant, anti-diversity, anti-affordable health care policies.

Meanwhile I expect every member of Congress is receiving full pay without iinterruption. Each one of them should be pushing Mike Johnson to reconvene Congress immediately!

It's yet another illegal act by #dtrump. It's one of his concrete, visible actions showing that despite millions of Americans protesting him on #NoKings2.0, he IS the King of the USA and he'll do whatever he wants to HIS castle, the White House.

Add this to the ever growing list of #dtrump 's illegal activities! Is there no stopping this wanna-be king?

If you're still not familiar with #Project2025, the Republican plan to dismantle the American government, here's a video from before the '24 elections that highlights its main goals. It's frightening how much of it has been implemented in #dtrump 's 1st 9 mos. in office! No surprises, it's all here.

Tell your legislators to stop sending $$B to bail out rich Argentinians. Instead bail out the US health care system so everyone can afford health care coverage. Also subsidize healthy food produced in the US to increase sales to farmers etc and lower grocery costs.

Thanks for the reminder. The way #ChristianNationalists and #WhiteSupremacists think they own the USA is repugnant.

So Baron was an anchor baby!

Adlai JN @adlaijn.bsky.social · 2d

What's that mean?

Adlai JN @adlaijn.bsky.social · 2d

Actually, Usha Vance, was born in California. She's not an immigrant. She's an anchor baby, a birthright citizen. Her parents had migrated from India a few years before she was born.

Because I am in Mexico, I'll be participating in No Kings 2.0 virtually (FB Live) with my home group:

There are at least 15 other central Ohio #NoKings protests on 10/18. Hopefully everyone who wants to promote #democracy can find a NoKings.org group to join!!

Love this idea! I think it will require some sort of civil war, hopefully fought with civility!
