Escapee from Muskland. Say NO to Trump. True democracy requires an electorate that can think critically. Ally to all lifeforms except MAGAts. Dont ask for money i cant verify scams versus not scams. Puppy dad. Zero interest in crypto

Actually, Trump is just ensuring Argentina will protect him if he has to flee the gold ole US of A.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "It's important that in this time of political violence that none of us grow numb to it, or accept this as the normal course of doing business for elected officials."

The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

Thus may be what is needed. Trump only respects strength. Pulling a general strike off will do one of two things, either trump will back off or push trump to go full dictator before he is ready. Either outcome works for us. Full dictator will burn away trumps remaining support.

How Do We Make a General Strike Happen in the US?

Historically, a general strike represents the most powerful tool available to the working class.

A government that targets citizens against fascism and dictatorships, isn’t a government worth keeping.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

Wanna stop getting calls and texts from me about Prop 50? Send your ballot in today. That removes you from the contact lists, and helps phone bankers use their time more effectively :)

Folks protest trump but do it in a joyful, peaceful way with love and respect.

Trump would hate to see singing and dancing and folks being peaceful and supportive with each other.

And I get the powerful urge to fight anger and violence with the same. But now it is not the time.

And the funnier thing is if e eryone fight for tge USA it would have to mean opposing trump who is a cancer to the country.

quantumnorm.bsky.social @quantumnorm.bsky.social · 2d

Wow. Just wow.

quantumnorm.bsky.social @quantumnorm.bsky.social · 2d

And remember, keep your protesting peaceful. Trump is pushing hard for an excuse to use troops.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.
