@kenmartin.bsky.social: your part in #ProjectCarrot is to vow not to support or fund any Dem candidate against any House Republican who chooses to declare themselves independent, caucusing with Dems.

Trump‘s #OverreachRampage will doom their seat, so why not
#FlipTheHouseNOWAndBeHeroesForever?

So who's with me on this? They want us to go nose to nose, but if we instead go wallet to wallet we realize that it's truly a 99% versus 1% battle.

Let's prove to them that our patriotism is stronger than what divides us. Let's rise in unison on

#PolarOppositePatriotsDay!

Todd Telford - A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective @progtoddnorcal.bsky.social · 22h

We can't allow the #TrumpProject2025Cabal to continue their #ProSTRIFE agenda that is inflicting needless economic hardships on every one of us.

Think today's GOP stands for family values? One look at the #BBBbetrayal and you can see that the only families they value have 7 digit-bank accounts.

Both the left and right have completely different views of what America should look like, but now it's pretty damn obvious to all of us that THIS AIN'T IT!

Don't want to align with us because you're pro-life and we support choice? Eyes up folks. Time to put preserving democracy first.

Todd Telford - A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective @progtoddnorcal.bsky.social · 22h

What should our next major protest day focus on? I feel we should call it #PolarOppositePatriotsDay

Think about it. After the Epstein files are released and Speaker Johnson refuses to bring back ACA subsidies, we're looking at perhaps 75% of Americans ready to end Trump's #RepubloFascism now.

And let's spread this hashtag and theme:

Rather than shout at National Guard troops standing in a line, let's hold signs that say,

"Sorry you have to be here, away from your jobs and families. It's just that Trump wants you here on display #InactiveDuty."

And no frog-marching into custody

Todd Telford - A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective @progtoddnorcal.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely perfect! This is how you handle FBI agents who have no legal ground to stand on in asking to speak to you.

The sad part is how differently this would've gone if the man standing on his own steps wasn't clearly Caucasian.

Ribbit!

Todd Telford - A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective @progtoddnorcal.bsky.social · 2d

There's a way to include disgruntled Republicans and betrayed independents on #NoKingsDay

They can have a unified voice as #ConstitutionalConservatives, retaining their core views while working with us to defeat Trump as #PolarOppositePatriots

It's #LoveAmericaDay

He thinks that he's #DonaldDuce, ruler of a #TangerineRepublic guided by the #Project2025Cabal.

Lucky for us, he's just a vain, lazy, grifter who can't focus on installing #RepubloFascism as a replacement for democracy very efficiently.

There's a whole bunch of billionaires that are not amused…

Todd Telford - A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective @progtoddnorcal.bsky.social · 2d

They want us to go nose to nose so that we don't notice what they're doing. But when we go wallet to wallet, it's clear that we're all suffering equally.

The #TrumpMillerProject2025Cabal has crafted a #ProSTRIFE agenda, purposefully inflicting needless hardships on us to break our resolve.

Todd Telford - A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective @progtoddnorcal.bsky.social · 2d

Soon a full 75% of America will loathe Trump and the #RepubloFascist state he and #Project2025 are creating to replace democracy.

I urge that disgruntled Republicans and betrayed independents rebrand as #ConstitutionalConservatives and join our fight as #PolarOppositePatriots.

If we had honorable House leadership, oversight would clamp down on this. Inspectors general would be brought in to rein in illegal, immoral, and even administrative transgressions.

But instead we have #RepubloFascist enabler #SpeakerJohnson who spouts piety without integrity.

And here's the meme to spread the theme of how we can come together to end this tragic madness

Todd Telford - A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective @progtoddnorcal.bsky.social · 2d

He thinks he's #DonaldDuce, leading his #TangerineRepublic, but we know him as #DonaldDunce, a lazy, petty man who will eventually be #LamestDuckDonald when a #BlueHouse has the gravel.

Todd Telford - A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective @progtoddnorcal.bsky.social · 2d

Martin should vow not to back or fund a candidate in 2026 against any House member who declares as independent, caucusing with Dems

So potential defectors will face no GOP primary, no tough Dem in the general. That frees them up to #FlipTheHouseFall2025AndBeHeroesForever

TELL MARTIN TO OFFER THIS!

Todd Telford - A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective @progtoddnorcal.bsky.social · 2d

And WE can use this as leverage to convince #HouseRepublicans that every day Trump makes them less electable in 2026.

Let's make them understand that their careers are doomed, sacrificed for the sake of #LamestDuckDonald's #OverratedRampage

DNC Chair Martin can make the obvious alternative doable.

Todd Telford - A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective @progtoddnorcal.bsky.social · 2d

These are the priorities of #RepubloFascism. And it's a double whammy. Not only does he fritter away enough money to sustain ACA subsidies for all of us, we back a competitor that is now China's prime source of soy beans.

Just months ago it was us. #LamestDuckDonald is
#SquanderingAmericasGreatness

Todd Telford - A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective @progtoddnorcal.bsky.social · 2d

And we're paying for this…why? OK House Republicans, time for you to stand up and save our nation. We just need three of you to declare as independent, caucusing with Democrats.

You can
#FlipTheHouseFall202025AndBeHeroesForever

History will say to you as the brave ones that unleash a #BlueHouse.

Todd Telford - A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective @progtoddnorcal.bsky.social · 2d

And let's not forget that that's why we currently have a #CoverupShutDown

Todd Telford - A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective @progtoddnorcal.bsky.social · 2d

We need a beefed up version of the #ForThePeopleAct, fortified to prevent all the new devious tricks that Trump and the GOP have concocted to disenfranchise voters and steal elections.

These tactics prove that they know that they can't win elections anymore on ideas or accomplishments.

Todd Telford - A Glass-1/8th-Full Perspective @progtoddnorcal.bsky.social · 3d

Say it this way, Mark. When #SpeakerJohnson extends the #CoverupShutDown to prevent the extension of ACA subsidies for tens of millions, that is

#ProSTRIFE

And here's a sign you can use in your online actions as well as outside their windows:

I've got hands, but today let's focus on feet and throats.

If your travels on #NoKingsDay, or any day after that, bring you to the offices of a House Republican, here's what you can chant outside his or her window:

Sounds a lot like an enabler for grooming young #RepubloFascists, doesn't he?
