A lesson in right vs wrong: Using government power to target political enemies is wrong. Standing up for those who are targeted is right. Bowing down is wrong. Refusing to be deterred and stating tall is right. Silence is wrong. Peaceful opposition is right. www.cnn.com/2025/03/30/p...
And once enough of the pillars of our democracy have been sapped and mined, with institutions bowing down out of fear or greed, Trump will declare that he has "made America great again" and that to keep America great he is suspending the Constitution and will remain in power for life.
@marcelias.bsky.social We’ll all be here when he’s rotting in the ground. Give him NO quarter!
He has to hate this pic👩🦲 the hairline revealed !!!
He has to be removed from office by impeachment. The Republicans in Congress need to have a backbone and ultimately courage or else their entire life and legacy is for nothing. All it takes is a moral compass and human dignity to make it happen.
CNN sucks.

Appreciate you, Mark.
Wasn’t there a Weaponization of Government Committee created by the House GOP? Seems like they have a lot of material to work with and complain about now. Did it slink away without a whisper after the election? Funny how that happens.
I can't even finish reading that article. It was so depressing.
Knowledge is power. They want to wear us down. Take a breath, go for a walk & stay strong. We're in this for the long haul.
We all knew he would but too many did not listen.
Freedom isn’t free-talking to you, paul, elias and skadden arps, you greedy mofos
WHAT????? WTF....
Some are struggling. What a bullshit headline.
If only Marc Elias were President.
I prefer Kamala. She has the tickets.
Obviously….just being generous to Mr. Elias
I get it. He’s a national treasure just where he is. We will be in debt to him forever.
Strong arm extortion racket! Don Trumpleone
What do they have to fear. Cowards!
🎯
The need to prescribe appropriate resistance as “peaceful” is itself preemptive submission.
Let’s go Krasnov!
Stating tall? Or standing tall?
Trump being the orange fat smelly bully that he is.
Once again… @marcelias is leading rather than submitting…🇺🇸
I personally believe that the orange turd loves having his name mentioned in any press, so if we would refrain from mentioning his name and hang a meaningful moniker on him instead, not only would he not like it, but the creative ones, will give us a giggle and a reason to repost it. CheezPufferBoy
It is the peoples right to address grievances with the government. I have a huge grievance with dirty donnie trump and his scum administration.
I’m in for necessary trouble to take out the orange.
All of the law firms, judiciary and ABA @americanbar.org needs to band together and stand up to this tyrant.
And if you see brown people being abducted on the street, attack.
This will not end well
Trump is a vile vengeful man! He has so much anger inside of him I’m surprised it’s not decaying his brain..oops it is!!!
#RightMatters
fight back together- form a united front-don't sell out your morals/values-your clients won't respect you if you sell out-
@marcelias.bsky.social you're fucking kidding yourself if you think "Peaceful Resistance" is going to do the trick.
👍
F*CK A THIRD TERM!! youtu.be/q-_6xaPNldM?...
I want to see Putrump get what he deserves.
Those are true acts of peace through strength. The strength to stand up to domination of the few, persecution of the few. Through that strength, a sense of peace can form knowing that you are safe and protected by each other. That is what equality truly is. Something many Americans have forgotten.
The stain of cowardice so many Americans are displaying in these trying times will never wash away.
It is probably a good idea for grass roots groups to start #organizing how #communities can sustain themselves and each other if we see a general #strike… generalstrikeus.com
The GOP was the 1st institution to accept authoritarianism becuz 🍊💩 targeted their weaknesses by bullying & threats. Now, we're seeing institutions, media, legal world, big business, universities, tech sectors are easily capitulating to the ROGUE🍊💩! Americans don't bow! Power to the fking People!
Turns out Americans love money more than democracy.
He told us he would use the office of President to retaliate. Thank you, Marc Elias for continuing to stand firm. I don’t understand why more people, companies, firms, etc. are not doing the same.
Protect the protest Support the protestor This is USA not North Korea
He is supposed to be working for the us ppl but he’s f-ing us all over while using our time, money to stalk, harass, bully, & deport. Put his old Felon ass in jail!
And the next POTUS should too. These are the rules the gop wants to play by so let’s play by them.
… and when peaceful opposition is denied and made criminal, violence is inevitable.
He forgot to Magic Marker his hair.
Saturday April 5 Nation wide protest against what Trump and Musk are doing.
>Using government power to target political enemies is wrong those guys running the nuremberg trials had some interesting ideas though
Obama signed into law the 2011 NDAA Indefinite Detention Act, allowing for ALL of us to be detained without charge indefinitely. I found in 2024, the House voted to rescind, but find no passage. Does this draconian law still essentially negate the Posse Comitatus Act? Asking for a million friends.
ignoring the American is absurd
Sad we have so many Americans who don’t get basics of right and wrong.
They do. They're just miserable, hateful azzholes.
www.thesilentmutiny.com/blog/how-to-...
Everything Felon has done, has either harmed or taken from the people.
Marc, if everyone Trump targeted so far had fought back as you do, he'd have stopped by now. LA Times, ABC News, Bezos, Zuckerberg, mainstream media and Google using "Gulf of America," some law firms and universities - if they'd all told Trump to go to hell, things would be entirely different.
The dictator Trump is wrong. The American people are right.
Please blur his ugly mug. Also mute the asshole and flip the bird over his face. Everytime. It prevents conditioning to accept and normalize his lies and disinformation. Keep up the " good trouble " .
Ew. That style shoves his baldness all the way into one’s eyeballs, doesn’t it?
TH White, in the wake of WW2 wrote an important version of the story of King Arthur—The Once & Future King—and the whole thesis was that might does not and cannot make right. It was the inspiration for the musical Camelot. And also, JFK. I’m a lit prof — these are old demons returning.
Look how bald he is.
He picks off his enemies one by one and varies his targets. This is classic divide and conquer. Each time a target capitulates Trump is emboldened to up the ante. Everyone needs to unite to fight
Marc, this is good.
politicalamericans.com/5-year-old-t...
Especially if it is high energy peaceful protesting. Like the relatively small protest im my solidly red district in Cali where there were previously tr*** flag stores and folks had ‘em on their trucks. You can almost feel the shift. Just call me cautiously not pessimistic.
He's doing exactly what he said he would do. First and only time he's told the truth.
Hire merrick Garland!!
Every. Single. Day. Is. Shocking.
You’re always a voice of moral clarity — thank you. 🙏🏼
I noticed a group missing from this article - Legacy Media. There are no bystanders in this, only colliders
Weaponization of the government. I believe he and minions complained about this with the previous administration. Now he has taken it to an extreme level.
We could end all this fascist bullshit in less than 1 week. Without violence. #GeneralStrike

Trump is a very evil man. He is no leader. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2025/03/it-i...
I could not agree more.
you rock Marc.
Writing about this again on Tuesday. This is definitely the governance theme of the year. I don’t understand what it will take for companies and governments to assess, plan, and respond.
He convinces some people that he needs their devotion/help when, in fact, what he wants are enablers. Enablers are expendable to Narcissists when/if they don't perform.
Agreed
It is hard to use the term R%#** so I will go wit…correct
I guess it’s his technique of strong arming corporate America into filling his pockets. Apropos nothing I just had a Burger King meal. As I was eating it I checked and it seems they are one of the few fast food corporations that didn’t pay Trump or GOP anything. Made it taste much better.
Bravo Marc
DJT is a LOSER. A big FAT LOSER. A Narcissist. A BULLY. A Moron. A FELON. Thirty four counts of FELONY! He is a CRIMINAL! IN OUR WHITE HOUSE. IMPEACH NOW. TREASON!
So thankful for you
We're proud of you Marc.
Correct. The purpose of a government is to protect its people and keep society safe. The government's role also includes keeping society organized. Bad governance entails systemic corruption and a lack of openness and accountability, arbitrary policymaking, and the deception of those who are ruled.
He is evil personified.
wtf you people need to stand up to this fucking bully good gawd
Opposition is right. Whether it’s peaceful is his choice.
Absolutely right.
It's no magic trick. All they have to do is Say No and grow a spine.
All they need is just 3 Republicans to impeach. 🤷

When you have the purse strings in your hand, you have your opponents by the balls. He’s practicing mob-style extortion like Roy taught him to.
And which branch of government is supposed to have the power of the purse?
Addendum: they don’t give a rancid fart about what the Constitution says.
“Supposed to” is doing a shit-ton of heavy lifting here. Game over. Y’know what really sucks? There are tens of millions of adults in this country who have NO CLUE what’s happening. Probably split evenly between those who don’t know, and those who don’t know and don’t care.
Peaceful opposition will get you thrown into prison. And the cops are very VERY happy to put you there. They are ALL #MAGA. 👮♀️ALL OF THEM 👮 Politically, America and Russia are the same now.
Citizens United said corporations have a right to free speech. It is time for them to use it, applying their resources to defending democracy.
Corporations aren't interested in defending democracy, they are soulless constructs only interested in maximizing profits at any cost to the citizens of this nation and the world.
Humans make all the decisions.
Think of the humans "in charge" of corporations as individual cells in a larger, self-sustaining organism.
Don't obey in advance!
guess his supporters feel this is efficiency & put him back in the white house to ignore & actually worsen the economy-I thought he campaigned on lowering consumer costs-Biden avoided a recession after Covid & trump is throwing us into a recession on purpose! US consumers will suffer from tariffs!
The VERY thing he tried to accuse the Democrats of doing. THE VERY SAME THING.
He was projecting.
that they are-we need to kick their asses out now!
100%
Tick tock motherfucker, that high cholesterol and heart disease about to kick in any second now.
The basics that our parents and grandparents taught us our whole lives; now is the time to show that you listened and believed.
'stating' tall may be right, but what is it? *wink*
This chain could go on forever...
So sad.
The Orange asshole is DRUNK WITH POWER!! He will now bully all before him...he needs the daily attention. Media and the spineless .@senate-gop.bsky.social @housegop.bsky.social will continue to pretend he is clever!
What’s with the hair
I know this isn't the point, but OMG that hair!!!!
I was thinking the same thing.
I noticed the hair also. What in the world is going on there? Has he stopped dying it? Why can we see a lot more of his scalp than he usually lets us see?
I think there may be problems with the cotton candy machine that manufactures that stuff on his head!
He will not stop unless and until we stop him.
He’s doing exactly what he said he would…weird 🤷♂️ And Republicans who said it was all hyperbole are complicit.
I could not agree more.
Amen
I never really understood how thin the veneer of civilization really is… he is a barbarian in a suit.
The Capitalist State will not surrender power without unleashing violence upon those who would take it away.
Republicans should not stand by as the "Rule of Law" is being attacked ... simply because as history has taught us that you rights and values will come next - the only law autocrat 45 understands is the laws of Fascism- "Whats mine is mine and whats yours is mine"
Want to tell our elected representatives that? THEY'RE the ones who should be stopping Trump, and they're doing NOTHING. Leaving us to do all the heavy lifting!! WORSE THAN USELESS!!!!
That would be the cult of trump, Republicans.
Keep it up... www.justsecurity.org/107087/track...
Thanks for sharing!
Great American until he wasn’t. Sadly history repeats over and over. Congress wake up and demand a strong democracy, without a king. Anyone recognize the man in this portrait?
Benedict Arnold - I think
Why is Krasnov always trying to look badass? Everyone knows he’s a PUTZ.
📌
Haven’t seen any mention of Heritage Foundation of Project 2025 here yet.
what has genni thomas been up to? is she in maralago with roger stone & paul manafort-maybe flynn?
Agree
isnt is actually illegal to use political power to punish people? i could swear ive read that while researching definitions of cruel/hate speech but unsure where i saw it.
TRUMP IS PACKAGE LESSON IN "WRONG"
how do we all sue him for terrorizing us and making us sick and miserable?
That’s what I am saying. Class action suit for making us all less safe in all areas.
I don't think the existing political system will withstand this abuse. Perhaps the White House will become a future museum.
Are you seriously telling me these opponents were caught off guard while common people knew it was coming? I did. President Biden did. His whole life was built around being 1) popular 2)being vindictive 3)being petty. Can’t believe they were that deluded.
And lawless.

There are more of us than them. They are trying to divide us (see attacks on Democrats, the left, the LGBTQ, immigrants, POC, specific Dem politicians, etc) here on BlueSky. They know we have the majority on our side & they pretend to be supporters while attacking behind the lines. Pay attention!
There aren’t just more of us, there are WAAAAAAAY more of us. We can only lose if we let them walk all over us.
The guy doesn't seem to understand how government works , except when it comes to punishing his " enimies"..
Peaceful opposition can only be expected for so long!
what he said 👆
Assuming we get out of this, can he be prosecuted for this after leaving office? This doesn't seem like something that falls under his official duties.
*standing tall…
America chose the lie over the truth and we are paying for it. Liars convinced us lies didn’t matter—but they did. They mattered a lot. They mattered more than anything else. And the cost will be high.
Are there damages that can be in civil filings for the attacks on law firms or illegal deportation. Has the Scotus created absolute immunity for all government actors and actions?
Nice
Only those who enable him can help to stop him. Sooner or later he is going to cross a line that is even too much for them to handle.
For at least 20 years republicans have been doing what’s wrong and ending up winning. Most of us are just fine with fighting fire with fire
Damn straight.
#HandsOff!April5 We must get out in the millions. In DC, state capitals, and City Hall. Let’s all show up and let DT and this horrible republican administration see that we won’t take it anymore.
Mr T figured out long ago that our Constitution is a double-edged sword.
Trump is out for revenge. He is so delusional and evil that once he destroys this country he will be like a Phoenix saving it. He needs to be in cuffs!
Nice hair
Glaring!
Still struggling after ten years to understand how the most heavily armed nation in the history of the world has been unable to stop the second coming of Hitler.
DUMBEST VOTERS ON THE PLANET.......
My friend, you hit the nail right on the head, i.e., Dumbass Voter’s!
Is there any remedy for the abuse of the pardon power?
Constitutional amendment
That’s what I thought. Well, that’s unlikely. But fuck, he’s openly pardoning felons who give him donations.
Impeachment, but that’s as likely as an amendment
Amen, brother! So happy you are keeping us informed!
#SignalGate is not going away.

Fascist regimes work hard to evoke despair and helplessness in resistance movements. Hope can be a commitment rather than a feeling: a radical act of resistance that we commit in whatever emotional state we find ourselves. Hope is not sufficient in itself, but it's a step in the right direction.
Yes. But NEVER soon enough.
I'm sorry but ... omg his hair 🤣 that's wrong!
Thanks for all of your hard work!
RESIST all that is TRUMP and MUSK!
Seemingly pretty simple
Truth! Coward donny the liar in thief! Crime a lago is his lair.
he never was nor will be a happy person.
#BlueSky don't forget next Saturday find your local event here! PLEASE spread the word! #MassProtests Sponsored by Indivisible, Mobilize us, 50501 Movement and others! handsoff2025.com
That, in itself, should be a crime, but who cares about crimes being openly committed! This is America and they commit crimes all over the world too!

Standing up
Trying to overthrow our government is wrong.
LOCK HIS TREASONIST ASS UP!
Thank you for having the courage to lead from the front.
The party of small, limited government is really sticking to their principles.
As Trump causes more and more harm to average AmerIcans, just watch how he increases security around himself. ...to reduce the appearance of cowardice, he might even take a page from Muammar Gaddafi's ''Amazonian Guard''.
