Courage, hope, and resistance are all contagious. People need to see others stand up to MAGA and Trump's bullying and fascism. We're seeing it this week with Lisa Cook refusing to bend the knee and the CDC Director Susan Monarez refusing to quit. Imagine if powerful CEOs did this...
Imagine if the universities refused to kowtow to a shakedown artist.
This Cook has integrity. Sorry about that other Cook.
They didn’t become powerful CEOs by doing the right thing.
RESISTANCE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Powerful bc they have wealth and will do anything to keep it. Without it, they r and have nothing
Oh, you mean the oligarchs.
@wajali.bsky.social @daniellemoodie.bsky.social Waj: I agree with you 100% that NO ONE should "bend the knee" to The Felon & can't for the life of me figure out why! Maybe it's just me but... It certainly seems as if women are MUCH MORE apt to stand up to him & fight! *Danielle do you agree?*🤔
Bullies lose their power when their spectators cease to be amused by or afraid of them. We must challenge the false narrative that Trump has a mandate from the American people to decimate the USA. Let's find ways to amplify the message of these 2 brave women. #Wringinghandsisn'thelping
I'm a bit old-fashioned, but I was always told that you had to have a job related issue to fire someone. A plethora of sites list legitimate reasons for firing someone: www.hraddict.com/fire-employe... A POTUS, who believes he is King, is not listed. I'm so damn proud of both Lisa and Susan.
It's usually the women standing up. Makes you wonder.
And the CDC right now doing a walkout after last night's shit show last night with Monarez being fired and other CDC chiefs resigning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ7Q...
The women.
Everyday I wake up with hope one of them will.

Or leaders of the Democratic Party
What if people stopped stoking hate, division, misinformation, disinformation and bad ideas about coalition building & voting? Being anti-maga or anti-Trump isn’t going to move the needle for the party that can defeat him & his benefactors. People are already putting out ultimatums about 2028.
Imagine if powerful CEOs had morals.
Or big law firms. Or leaders of universities.
Only if they are women by the looks of it. Must we do everything?
Yes, agreed! If you lead, they will follow!
Or say the military remembers the oath they took to their constitution and country not 2 a madman out of his mind and a literal lose cannon then do the patriotic thing and STAND D O W N
Great writing, didn't realize this was a shitpost till the final line
Women have courage.
Since Jerome Powell was a no-go, he keeps digging until he finds someone to remove so he can install another groupie. Her mortgage information is just to smear her just like with Fani but info about him with underage girls, tax returns, etc gets scrubbed, erased, and never revealed.
I would like to note that the vast majority of resistance out here is coming from women. We are all getting real fucking pissed at what is happening to our children's future. A whole hell of alot of normie middle aged women are getting radicalized right now
It will be the American women who save America. They just need to get a move on!
We will have to keep imagining because they love their money more than they love their country.
WOMEN!!!
I fear we will never see this because capital aligns with fascism every single time. I dont believe the current culture of business would ever allow a prominent CEO into power who's values dont align with capital.
though if I were to imagine it, it is quite lovely. A world in which our humanity comes first.
Both are Women. We know, deeply the obstacles we must navigate to rise in our chosen professions. These 2 women have clawed their way to the top of their profession with smarts & grit. They didn’t get there by bending to the knee. Especially by bending the knee to clearly less qualified men
Republicans will never get it. They'll say "she just got that job because she's a woman," when the reality is "she was able to get that job DESPITE being a woman"
Uh, they are not powerful. They are beholden. The women are the powerful ones.
They’d have to be women though
Trump recently bought 100M$ in bonds, then demanded that the Fed lower interest rates, which would increase the value of his bonds. WHY IS THIS NOT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA? Tell me I’m not crazy bringing this up. Wouldn’t this immediately trigger an investigation?
Powerful CEOs are bankrolling the plunge into fascism. They WANT this.
Trump would be out in a heartbeat. I guarantee you if all the Major CEO's called for Trump to be Impeached. Republicans would cave and Impeach him. But they're complicit in the Coup. And there's no one holding him accountable.
The billionaire ones that matter just made a couple extra $100 mil why would call for that? You’d think taking stance, having morals, showing leadership would gain customers. Instead they are afraid of losing maga customers.
That's just it. MAGA are the brokest Americans. Saddly, because they follow CON-Artist and Grifters, but if average Americans would follow examples of Black Americans in boycotting. For every Corporation that enables Trump and his merry band of Grifters. We could break them all down very quickly.
Look at Tesla and Target.
Easy to say but we all have to survive and afford rent and gas and food. The most well intentioned progressive is not going to throw away hundreds of or thousands of dollars to own the fascists - it’s just not reality.
Btw TSLA is up $120/ share since this time last year. Yes it’s down $100/share from the peak in December but is still by far the highest priced EV automaker.
It is always women, with few exceptions, who are out front. Jeffries and Schumer are leading from the rear. Stand the fuck up guys!
More Dems need more spine, backbone and pride. Stop capitulating to a cowardly orange putz.
#NASTYTRUMP
TO THOSE 37% W/TRUMP: WAKE THE FUCK UP. "MY GROCERIES AREN'T THAT HIGH", "MY HEALTH INSURANCE HASN'T GONE UP", "I HAVEN'T SEEN ICE IN MY STREETS"... IT'S GOING TO GET MUCH MUCH WORSE. GOOGLE SEARCH WHICH TRUMP POLICIES GO IN EFFECT IN 2026. IT'S A CON. VOTE Rs OUT NOW. YOU WON'T GET ANOTHER CHANCE.
