y’all know this doesn’t end without a ton of violence right
y’all know this doesn’t end without a ton of violence right
Andor memes were born for this
Perfect!!
All these organizations advocate for non-violent protest and resistance. If 11-million+ USAians participate in a #GeneralStrike, change can be made. indivisible.org www.fiftyfifty.one www.nokings.org generalstrikeus.com Please share these groups with your followers. Next big protest: SEPTEMBER 1
Thank You for sharing!
"Make ten men feel like a hundred." (Rogue One) Cue every soliloquy and speech from both seasons of Andor.
I'm looking forward to the Rapture when all the evangelicals & repubs are gone & we can finally have peace!
Unfortunately it looks like it.
No, you are not but the people in a state of denial might be…
They're called "americans"
I first scanned your post and thought it said “it doesn’t end without a lot of vomit”.. 🤷🏼♀️ Probably violence inducing vomit.
🤮
Well, plenty of that too.
He IS sickening.
Vomit's good, if it's aimed well.
I do often feel like vomiting these days.
ha ha ha ... I was thinking the same thing this morning but then there's Alka Seltzer it fixes everything!
I often wish I could projectile vomit on cue. It would be handy in certain circumstances. 🤮 🤢

Google Kent State shootings. No more marching to your death, take death to them.
👍💯
🤞🏻
Yep
Absolutely 💯 correct!
I do most days.
There has already been violence. USAID cuts have killed people. Just because you kill somebody with pen strokes instead of gunshots doesn't make you less of a murderer.
Yes but OP is referring to the violence WE will have to commit to end it. And we don't have access to pen stroke violence. Only the other kind.
As the banner on my profile says, “What you allow is what will continue.” Violence may be inevitable at this point.
Unless military stand down.
They won’t. The military serves their masters. Always did. They are not GI Joe in real life
Where is the Deep Breath emoji. I find myself without words, anymore.
There always going to be *some* people who call for peaceful solutions to violent problems, these people are usually: A) Working for the State. B) Wilfully ignorant of the States willingness to use deadly violence against its citizens. C) Fucking idiots.
Can’t we just agree to disagree, let the Confederate States of America build a wall around themselves, and anoint king turmp? Let them cut wages and become uneducated serfs, with no health care and no retirement. And skip all the pew pews?
There's no real red or blue states. The Electoral College has basically made 1/4 the population into three times as many votes. Red states are a sea of bigots around large cities. Even Texas is easily over half Dem...if you went strictly on population and not radical gerrymandering. It's literally
gonna be house Vs house, street Vs street, town Vs town.
They already have the red states. They want it all.
The problem with that is no state is pure red or blue. Some have Democratic Governor with Republican legislature or General Assembly structures. Lots of Dems in southern states.
There were plenty of abolitionists in the South in 1862, and supporters of slavery in the North. There were lots of Germans in 1939 who did not support the Nazis. Japan was not purely behind Emperor Hirohito in his assault on Asia and the US. People fled Germany. Would recommend considering.
My grandfather’s family fled Belgium after WWI, and therefore missed the effects of WWII.
I hope it doesn't come to a civil war type thing.
That is my hope as well. I hope there is no violence. But I have no delusions that the 50 states will be united in peace and harmony, sharing common goals and values, for quite some time.
I read "Defying Hitler", by Sebastian Haffner (highly recommended)a memoir of 1930's Germany. He writes about his journey in Nazi Germany. He finally determined that the Nazis were an occupying force that had destroyed the Germany he knew, and he had to leave, he left (for good) in 1938
I’m not familiar enough with German history to know if support of Nazism was geographically evenly distributed. I suppose it was. That would be one difference with today, where there is a definite (and historical) geographical divide in political affiliation.
Lots of Blue dots in Red states, and most big cities in Red states are majority Blue. And there are lots of MAGA rural counties in Blue states. I have friends and family in Red states. But I think Red states have gone too far down the wrong path, and we cannot go down with them.
The first thing the Nazis did was complete their internal takover- that happened over a period of 5 years (1933-38)- they "nazified" politics (no party but the Nazis) the civil administration, courts, schools, media, and it became harder to hide your dissent.
I was just glancing outside after reading your post and all the others this morning, and thinking, 'it's a beautiful Sunday morning in America and look at where our thoughts and minds are.' It's just heartbreaking.
Haffner's book is basically his inner battles with dealing with the Nazi takeover. It's quite resonant with the daily struggles we all have now- accede? Give up? Fight and resist? Ignore it all? It is heartbreaking and tragic, and we may have a long way to go
Only problem with that is that the blue states would be getting attacked by groups from the red states.
Cool classism there bud, it's almost like history repeatedly proves why letting one group do this always becomes a danger for the rest It's also almost like right wingers aren't even the majority down here, they've just consolidated power with exclusivity Dipshit
Yeah I know that been wanting people for a long time they're going to find out the hard way
"Urghhhh..."
CATS, CATS ARE NICE!
What’s going on now?
unfortunately and we're going to have to be smarter since they have more fire power
Having more firepower doesn’t necessarily mean they are unstoppable. Look toward Afghanistan for proof. War of attrition with Russia and the US. There will be ways to acquire some of their hardware. It just takes victory in small skirmishes here and there. Organize, crawl, walk, then run approach.
We also have more brainpower.
But remember we DO outnumber them.
Hell of a way to learn how important it is to take your vote seriously.
At this point, the only way to get Trump out of the white house is for an angry mob to break in and drag his ass out.
Mussolini
If the felon pedophile sends troops to Seattle and Portland, it’s gonna get ugly. People here are all about showing the find out part of FAFO. Maybe they need to rewatch some of the WTO riot videos.
Does that even make sense? I mean, I understand the blood of tyrants, but why patriots?
. To the true revolutionary, dedicated to the proposition that government is for, of and by the people; and that all people are created equal, entitled to life, liberty and happiness, it makes perfect sense, especially when confronting a dictatorial regime bent on suppressing those freedoms. Sadly
Sigh. I do do wish we had evolved more than this. But this is not just US. It’s the entire planet!!! And all the fucking life on it!!!! We are but rats in a box with the oligarchs content to stand on a heap of corpses!!! JUST LIKE ALWAYS!!!!! We fucking learned NOTHING from our OWN experiences!
. Indeed. Meanwhile, sometimes i want to ask 'God' why he, (or she), allows famine, disease and war when he, (or she), could Do something about it. But i'm afraid that he, (or she), will ask me the same question.
You know that we didn’t evolve FROM apes but instead share a primate ancestor. We’re like cousins to apes. Not children. Right?
I read that in his voice lmao😂😂😂
We know
Yup! Unless trump kicks the bucket and then the spell will be broken!
They won’t be. They already have unlimited power. Vance would just be another Trump dictator. This only ends one way and one way only
There isn’t 1 person in that group of devils as connected & w the stage presence as trump. Not 1 could stand on his/her own. Trump started maga & w/o him it will crumble. Vance is weak. He’s been gay/straight & hated Trump. There will be others fighting 4 the top spot. They will turn on each other.
😪
I’m a frayed knot.
😏
Yeah no prolly a lot of violence, but also occasional dad jokes.
We need the dad jokes. Humor is a must! Even tomato-worthy puns 😆😆🙃
Humor is nice but that alone isn’t going to save us. War is coming and we need to be ready for it
all the boy moms out there need to be uniting. and terrified. ☮️🚫💣
Unfortunately I agree with you my brother
It’s more than nice, humor is essential. Gallows humor will go a long way in keeping sanity at least nearby. You’re right though - war is coming. “… we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” www.politico.com/news/2024/07...
Reminds me of a joke. There was this rope sitting at a bar…..
💗. Same.
Yep
That's up to the Fascist Pedophile enablers. But like Captain America said:
talking re this w the spouse: as genx feral kids, we were told this was our future. tbh, i was expecting more violence sooner
We need to make sure all those bunkers the billionaire oligarchs built were a complete waste of money.
Hitler had a bunker.
the One Ring didn't march itself to Casa Doom
Fascism uses Democracy to suppress Democracy.
Being God and all I'm sure you know: - about 750,000 Americans died fighting slavery in the civil war - over 405,000 Americans died fighting fascism in WW2 - almost 100,000 died in Korea and Vietnam for the MIC I'd say we're doing okay in the Trump war so far. Calling backup for DC. YIBAMBE!
youtu.be/kIA3hSfIrao
We are the #MilitantLeft
We still have 2nd amendment rights. It’s time to use it. I don’t actually want the violence. But the right has threatened us with the 2nd amendment for decades. Why can’t we do the same? Read about black panthers and carrying fire arms to protect their communities.
The Second refers to well organized militias. Not three guys in a pickup truck.
Yes! blue dot in a red open carry state. Gun culture not my thing. weird social media neighbor pages here love to rant about their cache of guns for any minor thing. If politics were reversed they would be in the streets threatening us every damn day! Feared Obama taking their guns. What is our plan
You bring up an extreme issue. What is the plan. My ‘plan’ at this time is to defend and resist at any opportunity. Resistance can be subtle. I find that red hats tend to feed off emotion and dislike stubborn disapproval. Social interactions of silent opposition piss them off.
I don’t know if there is time for subtle resistance for some of us. I think being deported to a foreign country is an extreme issue. Silent opposition with all due respect….meh
I am old and crippled. All I can hope to achieve is taking a piece to be remembered. But I do want that piece.
Are you comfortable carrying? It’s not a bad idea to practice. Unfortunately we are being pressured into ‘might have to respond’ corners. No one will ever condemn defense.
No I’m not comfortable. I’m not comfortable with any of this. My husband is a black pilot that flies commercial. Excellent pilot, but some consider DEI. our bi-racial daughters are child bearing age in a red state. I will become comfortable I suppose. Because we are next on the list.
Also remember…they never come alone.
The SS visited me during his first installment for a meme I posted on twitland. I thought I was rural enough. Nope. My pic was taken and my trial was in the driveway. I’m on a list already. I never post names to keep the data mining slow. But if they want you, they will find you. Plan accordingly.
Thats fucked up
Yep. It is.
Learn. Stock up. Safe words. Emergency meeting places. Go bags. Never split up. Record. Never ever answer questions. Phones are always trackable. Always be prepared to bug out. I’m sorry sweetie. But trust little and stay alert.
Open carry to protests is exactly what's needed
All those gun toting 2A armchair heroes were always looking for a tyrant to rise up against. Now they are quietly sitting on their hands while the NG and ICE are sent all over the country.
They like the tyrant. It was never about freedom. They were just scared of brown people.
Unfortunately 😢😢😢
Yep, and that's exactly what Trump WANTS so he can declare Martial law and cancel the midterms, but it's one of those situations where you're damned if you do & you're damned if you don't! However we CANNOT just SIT and DO NOTHING because things WILL ONLY GET MUCH WORSE!
The ONE thing we have to remember is things NEVER GET BETTER under a DICTATORSHIP, they ONLY GET WORSE! So it's better to END it SOONER rather than LATER! People are going to DIE because of this REGIME with/without a WAR because of their CUTS, POLICIES & EVIL, CRUEL ACTIONS!!
Auto-Genocide! Yes, they are creating the conditions for a lot of people to die😭
I’m ready to fight!
We could use a little smiting and smoting invisible buddy, if you've got next week free.
It might have ended with less if something had been done in January. Or, like, ever before that. It's a deeply human thing to only solve existential problems when it's too late.
Letting Jan 6 go on the part of Dems- unconscionable. Rs NEVER WOULD HAVE STOPPED FIGHTING BACK.
see Climate Change
As Dump rolls back clean energy. Republicans are why we can’t have good things.
Yes, but according to MAGA, those contraptions make Scottish whales turn gay and wear kilts!
There are people who would pay a lot of money to see a gay, kilt wearing whale.
That can be arranged.
I love that, although we are living in perilous times, we can still share a laugh. Thanks! 😊
Every fking traitor should be in jail fk mereck garland
Like Jan 6, 2021.
Yes. Responding to insurrections with the appropriate level of gravity is usually advisable.
Had that happened, we wouldn't be here today.
That is however what they want you to believe. But peaceful resistence works only if enough people are willing to do it. So try it by doing nation actions that ate really hard to do, like not buying anything at all for a week. Or forgetting to pay your taxes or ….. ?
If we could get the same number of people who voted against him to also protest him at the same time (marches, refusal to purchase anything from major stores for a week, no traveling, etc.) it would shut down the country and put the people in a decent bargaining position.
There should be one shelf, and on that shelf there should only be the one item... General Strike!
It’s certainly the way that it’s starting…… kidnapping people off the street and disappearing them…..🤬
That's when the fight should have started. Instead of all the bureaucrats sending stern letters and mouthing words on Capital Hill.
Unfortunately, yes. 😫
Yep
😢😢😢 it’s coming for sure. Especially how he goes into these other states. I’m anxious…
As a native NYer, I can't see him coming into NYC w/o violence.
It’s written all over the walls. Stand up East Side
I think the same of Chicago. Someone fires off a gun (either ICE or a resident) & all hell will break loose.
That is exactly what they are hoping for so they can declare martial law.
They already did. There are soldiers with guns outside, you mad cunts.
I'm banging my head against walls over here
Yes, he keeps turning up the dial slowly, hoping to trigger someone to do something stupid.
Like boiling frogs. Start in cold water and slowly turn up heat
Exactly
He can declare whatever he wants, but the reality could be we ignore his decree. The orange one ignores law and the Constitution. Why should we be any different for the time being? Gloves will come off, elbows will come up, and it’s possible that shots will be fired.
Gloves will come off so American's can work the shaft.
There are no laws and we need to fight that way. If elected Dems aren’t on board they must be primaried!
The only thing you get from that is displacing very good Democrats and possibly opening up a door for bad intention, assholes like the likes of Manchin and Sinema we need to stand up, stand together and fight for the good of our country
In case you haven't noticed, we are basically under martial law right now. They don't need an excuse. They do what they want without consequence. They've been black bagging people, torturing people, and kicking down doors to silence dissenters.
Eventually a car backfiring is all it is going to take with everyone anxious, carrying guns (half of them not trained), and looking for a reason...
I have not seen any mention of when we can expect the National Guard troops to show up if we are in one of those 19 states. Does anyone know ?
They are sending 1,700 National Guardsmen to 19 states, mostly all Republican.
That's why I am trying like hell to move out of the country.
Sad, but true 😔
I think we’re all collectively trying to hold off until it’s impossible do so. Because once that genie is out of the bottle…
Unfortunately yes
I start going down the rabbit hole in my mind and it scares the shit out of me
Scared me too but it looks like we’re getting there. Honestly liberals need to do their own Jan 6. As despicable as it was it technically worked for MAGA.
Me too, my friend, me too. 💔
Post of the year! Trump and his henchpeople are a metastasizing cancer in the body of a free and democratic America. It’s going to take a massive dose of political “chemotherapy” to rid the country of Tumor Trump and the MAGA malignancy.
😞
that would seem to be the raod trump/GOP have us on.
Sadly, it seems inevitable. Are you a vengeful God? We could use a little help.
You can't talk people back from a cliff if jumping is all they've ever wanted to do.
I would prefer to believe you are wrong, but you aren't. Only you know how many atrocities these ICE douche bags have committed already, and it's only gonna get worse until someone stops them.
Perfect
The president and his Schutzstaffel
You have automatic rifles for gods sake, automatic rifles! Why are you all sitting on your fat arses?
Still got at least half the population living like this is all business as usual even if they don’t like it. The other half is filled with people who still think signs and peaceful protest are going to stop the regime from eventually blowing us all to smithereens. Damned if we do, damned if we dont
Hey now, my arse is rather... flat. That being said, sure, I have two of them. But THEY have drones and can see me in the dark. I have weapons to protect myself and my family during the unrest that is coming. I am not going to fight the military - I want to live through this.
Time to pull your pistol out your panties
after a million Covid deaths, kidnapping innocents to be sent to a hell on earth, waging war without Congressional approval, tying the hands of Ukraine by limiting weapons, Gaza...the violence is already here...
Silly boy default. Expand repertoire.
I knew we were in a new civil war in 2016. It was cold THEN
We are fully aware
Boycott guide pinned to my feed.
Excellent guide. Highly recommend.
Yes! I put a pin in the comments so I can go back to it and share it again and again! Thank you! 👍💙🔆
Sadly, yep. That said, billionaires want you to believe they're bulletproof. But Luigi proved them wrong.
We just want those that took oaths against clear and present dangers to our country and its citizens to uphold those promises.
Truth.

“Change must come from the barrel of a gun.”
Well god my brother I don't think people are even close to understanding the giant shit sandwich coming. And to quote full metal jacket "we all gotta take a bite" of the aforementioned sandwich. I picture a car going 125 miles an hour hitting a brick wall when these people realize what has happened.
T**** will burn it all down to protect himself, and the US Supreme Court told him he was untouchable and a king while in office, so there will be blood in the streets before this is over. Think #January6th, but way worse. I wonder if the GOP who voted not to impeach are regretting it yet?
Please check my protest song about the democracy-killing liar and #January6th, if you like it please, give a thumbs up and share! youtu.be/iZ8mowuxX9U?...
No, they don’t regret it because they thought they’re going to be empowered for life. They care only about themselves.
“I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.” We've been here before. A lot of people compare this to 1939. Might as well be 1859.
I looked it up. You said it take another 3 years.
What do you think is happening now?
It's coming. Yup.
Indeed
You see all the violence already going on? God get woke my Heavenly Father.
Whenever you guys want to go loud, I’ll be waiting
It could...we shouldn't be looking like we aren't going to go max peaceful... You need to spread the word with all your worldly connections. Please click on red to expand for easier reading bsky.app/profile/ogre...
I think they allow everything! Although I never see any of their stuff, I only see stuff for my people! I think sometimes people don’t wanna be bothered with learning something new Thank you! 👍💙🔆
If the military powers that be would honor their oath and remove the traitors, we wouldn’t have to.
The military were never your friends. They’re no different from Nazis. They just follow orders.
I think some leaders that we had like milley and brown and others would have drawn a line in the sand and defended our constitution against the current enemy within. I know he’s purging, don’t know if any remain that will defend us.
They have been stealing from the military for decades.
I’m going with poison darts.
Silent snd deadly.
Hey God! @thegodpodcast.com Remember the ECONOMIC ViOLENCE we rained down on the world by simply staying the fuck home during Covid? Let's try that first. Strike together and shut off the money tap to fascists! #GeneralStrike #StrikeTogether #EconomicViolence #CutOffTheTap
I would definitely prefer economic shut down over physical violence.
We need to try Covid lockdown bubble levels of ECONOMIC ViOLENCE first. Strike and shut off the money tap fools!
Where is our power? What if 20 million in the US organize a mortgage strike? We have 85.8 million mortgages w/ an outstanding balance of ~ $12.8 trillion. 20M mortgages going offline at once would shut this shit down. Sit & wait for civil war OR strike? #EconomicViolence #GeneralStrike
Worst idea ever.
I’m surprised we don’t talk about this more. We could be ending this mess before it gets too much further along.
Where is our power? How much of $19 Trillion can we collectively shut down? #GeneralStrike #EconomicViolence #ShutOffTheTap
Americans are trained from a very young age "DO NOT DISTURB the Capitalism!" We need to remind "the Capitalism" whose hands build and maintain it.
That's what he wants. Pain. Blood Death. Let's disappoint him.
There will be all of those things either way. Make it mean something.
I fear you are correct, however, force them to give us an excuse.
Not a guarantee unless we aren't peaceful. Then it becomes a guarantee. In my view.
The other side isn't peaceful. The other side is already racking up a body count and blood and suffering. Your government is committing democide right now and the abrupt withdrawal of international aid has left many to die.
We are more than somewhat aware. It is sickening and horrible and we have our hands tied. I hope it isn't too late when the opportunity to make a change occurs.
I can hear the lid start to rattle on that pot on the stove…
Yeah.... *sigh*
Martha, it's time for you to announce your run for president. Not only would you have all of Bluesky behind you, it would piss off Mango Mussolini so much he might just lose track of where he's supposed to be invading. TRY AND SEE! What can be lost?!?
Oh I appreciate the compliment...but I'm 70 and we've had enough of my generation running things. It's what got us here. We need new young compassionate blood now....
I’m 68. And we desperately need the younger generations to do this but I sincerely hope they also heed the wisdom and TRUTH from us who experienced it already!! Especially the girls!! The females of our species have suffered for centuries and we were obviously naive to think we fixed it.
The fight against those who would own others is never over. There will always be those who seek to own others, and we must always fight them with everything we have. The strong protect the weak. That is what it means to live in a society. We who remember this must fight extra hard in these days.
Agreed.
You can resign as soon as you're elected and put a much younger VP in charge. But ma'am, we need your razor-sharp sass. Now, more than ever! But with a bully pulpit that gets *international* notice! MARTHA TONGUE LASHES MORON-IN-CHIEF. MORON TARIFFS ILLINOIS IN MISTAKEN REVENGE. Etc.
Thats what they want
That’s true. Trump is provoking it because it would give him the excuse to employ Marshal Law and move to skip the elections.
Sadly, agreed!
Starting to feel that way.
I’m ready. Nothing is worth killing and dying for more than my family and my country.
1 problem maga and the Republicans have been buying up guns for years Democrats not so much The south never got over it did they IT took a world to defeat Hitler Now Hitler wanna be has the most nukes in the world Who's going to stop him now
Revolution is on the horizon.
Civil Wars often follow Revolutions. The problem here is which is which.
Like was the "Revolution" Civil Rights, Women's Rights and our attempt at LGBTQ+ equal rights... so now we have an impending civil war from all the people who think they're the moral superiors? I could see that.
And it's going to ignite in Chicago or Los Angeles.
This is what I believe as soon as he gets the n guard armed and tries to seriously hit those cities that are not under home rule. That’s going to be the incendiary point.
God, why?
I was listening to a podcast today on President Harding….and I thought how fitting if we accelerated that time line and the Orange FeLon met the same fate…
It does not have to be this way but you are likely right. Trump is, and has been, intentionally creating conditions where violence is inevitable. Sick.
Not Trump. 78 million fascists. Unless we can somehow get rid of all of them, we're going to struggle as a country year after year after year.
Getting rid of them all is impossible. Although, it is strange that I was having precisely that mental fantasy earlier today. Not actively getting rid of them. Just waking up one morning and they are all gone. Like one of those 50s sci fi flics where the alien monsters suddenly leave.
It's definitely not possible, which is why I believe things will never be better than they are right now for the rest of my lifetime.
They will. Things change. Not sure I will outlast this myself, but I’m pretty damn sure I will outlive Trump.
Violent images turn him on. He’s a monster.
Have faith in American troops. When push comes to shove, they’ll side with their friends American people.
🤞
Regular troops, maybe. National Guard and police, not so much.
The active military get paychecks. If shooting Americans starts, there'll be a divide. Red state white boys are a lot of combat arms. The Reserves and NG, is regional, individual and not so reliant on the paycheck. Not all cops are maga assholes. Choices will be made. Families safety a priority.
There also aren't enough of them, even if all go along. It takes at least 25 of our troops per 1000 people to maintain an occupation, if the population is compliant. If armed, 50-60 per 1000, and rural areas are worse.
Aye in the UK at least... not every cop joined up because they like battering folks. I doubt it's true in the US as well. Even those who did will resent being told what to do by these fascists We need an acronym.. NACAB?
Please team up with those other guys who were your competition. Thor Zeus Apollo Jupiter Fantastic 5 needs to kick some ass down here.
Y’all remember when the troops stood on D-Day waving homemade placards towards the Nazis? Nah, me neither.
These words are written throughout the history of Mankind. Over and over again we seem to forget this and allow monsters to rise up once again.
Between army troops being deployed to Democratic Party-run cities with large POC populations, and the DOJ threatening blue States with "enforcement actions" to "assure accurate voting rolls," & Trump telling Zalensky war means no need for elections, I have a feeling Trumps violence peaks Nov., 2026.
I’m still voting and there’s not shit he can do about it.
This 👆🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Which is why we cannot wait until 2026
Alas, I do.
There's already been a ton of violence. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
...All directed AT the rest of us by the Regime and our response has been peaceful protests and Internet memes. I abhor violence, but you can't stop violent fascism with kumbaya & jokes. Sometimes, in this world, you've got to remind the bullies that they're vastly outnumbered and MAKE them stop.
Just waiting…….
Yeah, we know. We know.
It's the only thing they understand. It's the only thing that can stop this takeover.
Why did you create us knowing we would fight each other throughout all time? Uggh.
youtu.be/i80_N8CPWHk
Certainly hope not.
sorry to say i think you are correct and then it will get even worse
Yep. America could have ended this with Biden and an executive order over a year ago but it's "not right" to throw the entire MAGA leadership and Project 2025 into GitMo - or a hole full of quicklime - to save democracy and 100s of 1000s or even millions of lives. Gotta "be nice".
Was expecting it yesterday in dc
Only way! Long overdue! We’ve allowed the Trump administration to strengthen! Dumb!
....... yes, we understand, they sent a rabble to D.C. on Jan 6th.... they have no idea that we are beyond the maga rabble in numbers. We will overwhelm them and we shall overcome.
Also, intelligence usually wins in battles.
Yep.
Isn’t it odd that mass shooters only go for innocent people ?!
Maybe not, but the margins are getting thinner every day
They can’t have legit midterms. They know it. I have friends everywhere
No midterms, for the protection of the country. The economy will be in shambles. The next three years is a mere autopsy performed on Democracy.
American Civil War 2 has begun. WW3 will likely follow. So yeah, blood and iron, as Trump's idol Adolph Hitler would say. Thanks to the Evangelicals and other Christian fascists and the military industrial Corporatocracy complex. Armageddon is their end goal, replacing humans with AI & machines
I keep hearing that from some coworkers of mine
If Trump sends a red state National Guard into Chicago or New York, what do you suppose the Illinois or New York National Guard does? That is civil war.
#WeAreNotOkay
It will, Absolutely Unfortunately too.
That’s their goal.
They'll lose. Again.
🤞🏼
They always lose. youtu.be/h7Y-9C6ox1Y?...
Sadly, I think you are correct.
Sadly, yes!
We do know. It's fucking scary!
It’s scary, but it needs to be done. We need to stand up together and we need to fight back fire with fire.
Yes!👍💙🔆 Exactly! It’s for our children and their children. We must stop this. I do not want my grandkids growing up under Nazis! That stupid Miller guy when he was in DC said about the 90-year-old hippies. Well, I’m only 57 but we are fierce because we will protect our own!
You bet we will
I predict Americans will react just as the Germans did Full on surrender
Mussolini’s embrace of violence was deeply tied to his rejection of liberal democracy, which he saw as weak and indecisive. He promoted totalitarianism, where the state had absolute authority, and violence was a tool to enforce unity and suppress dissent—Sound familiar❓️
That's been my fear from the beginning
It's how it's been & will always be. They never go quietly!
It is coming.
Fascists make for great boot polish.
Always gonna blame Trump voters
It’s not just your fault, but you worshipped it. That’s a true mental illness.
pretty much, yeah
The Reich Wing is trying to provoke a violent response to the unconstitutionality of the present situation...so they can shut everything down behind the Insurrection Act. Do we keep taking it? Or do we fight?
I think we can do this peacefully. All that ails us is because monsters have over decades made the system in a monster itself. All can be cured with a new system built on equality and justice for all. Strip all oppressive laws and stop making survival a competitive sport while we rebuild.
The country as a whole has squandered every non-violent opportunity to stop the pedo-fascist coup. All it would have taken was actually following the law, i.e. enforcing it, instead of cowering behind the illusion of decorum and appeasement to hide the complicity.
The classified documents case alone should have put the orangegoof in jail long before the 2024 election. But our justice system has... inefficiencies.
The Idiocracy "justice" system is absolute garbage. Merrick Garbage.
That along with the 3 branches falling to corruption there'll never be equality and justice for all within this system as it stands.
Merrick Fucking Garland
If we had a 4th branch in charge of making sure the others only passed laws that served e&j4a we'd not be here today, and we'd not have the plague we're suffering in our sts. Drugs crime Homelessness shootings are all symptoms of multi-generational oppression that goes back to the corruption in DC
The department of "justice" being part of the executive is part of the problem -- especially since the department of "justice" established a policy of dereliction of duty masquerading as law. Establishing that policy made the department "justice" illegitimate.
Supposedly, the media was supposed to play a similar "watchdog" role. But the media is owned by the Robber-Barrons, just like the rest of our government.
The death of the fairness doctrine which Murdoch campaigned Reagan to do is another thing that led to all of this. The media are not held accountable for spreading lies anymore.
The Fairness Doctrine never applied to “media” and never prevented lies.
Lies masquerading as news is however against the law -- faux got around that by exploiting the stupidity of federal judges.
Nope. Most lies are protected speech. Defamation and fraud are exceptions, but they have very specific elements.
FOX News is a **cable channel**, not a broadcast station. They do not carry an FCC license and are not subject to FCC regulations or oversight.
Well we need something that does. We need to stop allowing politicians to mince words cuz it's become a language barrier now due to how long it's been going on for. The FD at least made it so the other side was presented. Or supposed to be anyways.
Your issue appears to be with the First Amendment.
Unfortunately because we've allowed the corruption to fester we can't expect the system to regulate itself anymore. So we have to plead to our military to stop it.
And when you trust a moron Biden to enforce the law, the exact opposite of his decades of appeasement, you end up with unchecked corruption.
Sure, blame Biden. Brilliant.
It was his administration that refused to hold the traitor and his co-conspirators accountable, and for that he deserves to be blamed. He's guilty.
I feel you.
Until all fingers point towards the system being dead nothing will improve. No election will fix it. We need to reset and perfect.
Yup. Biden's failure to uphold his oath of office was a symptom, but so is refusing to accept the fact that he failed the nation.
Technically he was our 1st king & SCOTUS gave him permission to do whatever he wanted as long as it was for the public good. If it were me I'd have immediately arrested the SCOTUS members for violating #E&J4A & oath, along with all Congress members who did the same. Stepping out of the box...
The problem with the dem party is how they will not step out of the box while the GOP has been destroying the box for generations. Biden was technically our 1st king (a ruler of a land not bound by its laws). SCOTUS gave it to him so the GOP could put the final nail in our democracys ⚰️. He was...
....a great POTUS. But didn't want to step out of the box. Dems still think that the checks and balances work. We need to march to dump this gov and reset it with protections to prevent this from ever happening again. I have a plan and it's confirmed it can work along with the changes I propose.
The checks and balances are the responsibility of members of government with the authority to implement them -- and Biden was one such who steadfastly refused to implement the rule of law, breaking the checks and balances and ending american democracy.
He failed the nation because he refused to do his part of implementing the checks and balances that the executive branch is responsible for, specifically enforcing the law.
The only way to save our democracy and to perfect it is with a revolution.
Oh stop. We're looking at full-blown corruption and it ain't Democrats who are doing it.
True, but they just stood aside and tried to ignore the corruption even when it smacked them in the face repeatedly, then giving them concession after concession to the point of neutralizing their own agenda to appease the corrupt.
No, but they had opportunities to undo a lot of what led us here. We need to stop looking at just the most recent changes cuz all that is responsible for our societal decay is from the corruption in DC. The only way to fix it is with a reset & perfect. It's the only way to 🛑 school shootings. ..
And the truth is that when they had the chance to undo even some of the damage, they used the opportunity to give the corrupt what they wanted instead.
...Multi-generational oppression created by laws that didn't serve E&J4A. Laws passed decades ago because many of our ancestors were fooled into trusting all the wrong people. The road to a perfect democracy requires a separation of beliefs & state. Beliefs: anything 🚫 proven by good science.
YES 👏
Sounds like the Constitution we already have that no one is enforcing at all.
Another reason why we need to get creative.
CA is being creative. The tide may actually turn when the orangeshitstain dies of CHF. But do we really have any more time? We keep saying He can’t. He won’t. And yet he does!!!!
I have a plan that can work. I've confirmed it along with the hole i found in the system that allowed for all of this. Everything we've been suffering drugs crime homelessness shootings are all symptoms of multi-generational oppression from the system being made into its own monster.
And the plan is?
Dm? Ill explain it there cuz I'm starting to get 👀. It's confirmed it can work but has to be just right. I'm shooting for the most peaceful revolution ever. Sounds crazy but it's true. There's no need to shed blood. Maga is insignificant and cracking. They'll fold once the majority stands up.
I agree with that in a certain point, but it also takes a lot of power. The country does not have enough time to make all of these changes that change must come from its citizens banding together and fighting this evil on this land
Yep. I'm working on the uniting bit. Because until we unite and agree that this system has become the monster it is we will only continue to suffer. I'm working on the right msging but it's been harder than expected. Each time i think I got it, I see a flaw. I'm hoping for a drastic change b4 ...
...next election. Only time will tell. It's why I'm building a network of ppl to help me with making sure it goes viral.
This country cannot wait until 2026. Our democracy will not stand until 2026. It needs to be done now pronto.
I know. I'm hoping for something to change massively by the end of the yr. That's my goal anyways. We have to get all fingers to point to the system b4 we can do anything. We have to merge all protests to 1 in agreement that this system is a monster b4 we can get our military to act.
I’d say United or true Patriots and get bust in to Washington DC, Texas, Florida, most red states, and fight fire with fire
Most of maga want what we want. I hoping to keep this as civil as possible.
Unfortunately, a part of MAGA wants a Civil War They’re angry at the system when they should be angry about Trump and his policies that are now affecting them. This will come down to bloodshed unfortunately we can’t count on the military. It’s got to be us.
Maga is cracking. Even if it wasn't Trump it would have been someone else. It was inevitable thanks to the GOPs hard work over the last 70yrs. There's really no need to shed blood. Esp if we can get others to understand that this system has been turned into it's own monster & until it's buried..
Agreed
It's simply a matter of educating the public with all that i know. Which is a lot more than what is taught to us. All of what we were taught about our FFs was wrong. They couldn't care less about the system. They cared about their happiness. They wanted peace. I know how to fix it.
I found the hole monster's manipulated years ago and spent the last two and a half years confirming it. We need a revolution and someone like me needs to take the helm. The road to a perfect democracy starts with a separation of beliefs and state. Cuz your beliefs are for you to live by.
Needs to be updated with The Boofer and Caravan Clarence
What bullet hole? 😉
Now that’s a name change I can work with 🤣🤣👍💙
😁
The only question is, who is the Phantom Menace in this situation?
Unfortunately, it’s already started! The current Republicans are the descendants of ignorant, violent assholes who are lower ability than the people they persecute.
From your lips to Go--oh. Never mind.
I keep hearing something like "They go low, we go high" and think weak party leadership and corporatists don't get us through this. A scenario where a sizable amount of the military says "eff this clown show" isn't unthinkable.
The military isn’t there to protect the people or the constitution. They’re serve the president and follow Orders.
Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). An order may be considered unlawful if it... directs a criminal act: war crimes, harm civilians, falsify records, or steal property, etc. Orders infringement on constitutional rights: conducting an unreasonable search without justification, etc.
Or we should send him a pistol and lead him to a bunker, and skip the poopy bits.
Yes. Signed... Sane Concerned Ctizen.
I got little to lose, it’s the kids and grandkids I’ll fight for.
Like mob smothering of hugs &’kisses onto those who are enamored with gooey goon outtakes Ya how crazy that sounds It’s doable with plenty of cell phones on live video feed & streaming showing hugs & kisses
The Four Horsemen of Leveling of wealth inequality….war, revolution, state collapse, famine
Yes, God. We know. Everything’s going to have to to change. Like, pretty much everything.
Millions will die. But praise Jesus, right? Same fucking bullshit for centuries. Christians are human garbage. Time to take it out.
Unfortunately It’s going to be bad. Very bad
Let there be a revolution
my biggest fear
He can only continue the charade in DC til 9/11 when his 30 days is up then he has to get Congress approval to remain…patience and trust in our military before we go “off”. IMO meantime our Constitution holds our playbook for how to fight back against Tyranny. Our FF spoke from experience!
Agree there are quite a few mechanisms built into the constitution, can you elaborate more on the avenues you think can shut down this fascist take over ?
I already have.
Op just saw your post - agree 110% !
I don’t have answers…but I post what I find to the questions I have. Hopefully they will help others with questions.
And I’m referring to videos that I post…
Got it!
Same, No one has all answers hence why we need one another to go farther! Look forward to working together 🙂
None. No guardrail has worked. Rule of law is dead.
I disagree…just go look at the court cases he has lost.
...and ignored.
Hello? They don’t follow the verdicts.
They sure did or are clearing out Alligator Alcatraz…. I follow Alt National Parks in FB and they post about such wins/losses….
Governor DeSantis Defies Judge's Order to Halt Operations at 'Alligator Alcatraz': 'We're Not Gonna Be Deterred' Source: Latin Times share.newsbreak.com/eogi7olr
Yes I see that. However….we cannot trust all news we read on the internet. Thanks to this regime..we must sift through the piles of 💩. Which like I said I have several sources that I trust and news break ain’t one of em.
DeAnus is living in a red bubble maga fever dream in Florida , he feels emboldened just like rest of red fascists right now. The real test comes when they try roll out this shit in blue cities
Also Democracy Docket and Midas Touch
Exactly. I have a select few that I trust for my info and rely on them daily! The rest of the internet is just noise.
You guys are heading down a dark and violent road and Canada's just drawing back, hoping not to be drawn into the bloodbath Sending love and prayers to everyone battling the good fight
I'm just waiting for the shot heard around the world!
"Gotta mit uns."
God, you really have a terrible track record when it comes to overestimating the American people. Just saying.
I know, others are catching on..... simmering but has to eventually boil.
I can't let my grand daughters grow up with less than I had so whatever it takes
How many Grandmothers were at my Indivisible Conference and I thought we are all here for the same reason-we are women and we want a future of choice for our grand daughters.
@thegodpodcast.com A couple million moms, sisters, wifes, and daughters sitting on the ground would be hard to use violence on right!! We are the 99%! Power to the people!!
Shoot out at the GOP Corral!
Yep. I know who should be the first to go.
Newsom is still saying trans people getting treatment at 25 is too young and no one seems to care about us as long as they have their evil cishet white man to fight the other evil cishet white man.
The US can do better than just another transphobe
Everyone - Get a gun.
My struggle with this idea is that I have family members who have depression and anxiety. I just really don’t want guns in my house.
Already did. Several.
Get gun training. Bring all your friends to the local gun range sign up for a beginner course.
Yup
I'm working on that myself and encouraging my buddy to do the same. The war has started.
Already done
Waaaaaaaaay ahead of you.
And training to use it - it’s worse than useless otherwise.
One gun?
I was just mulling this over this morning.
or 5 and lots of ammo. the "funny" part is they don't think we have them already. surprise.
Yup
If you don't like guns, buy ammo and sell it at cost to your friends who shoot. It deprives MAGA of the ammo while helping your friends.
If you don’t like guns, buy ammo and give it to your friends who shoot. Invest in their training because you you owe them for being armed and not being armed yourself.
And practice with them weekly.
Dems have almost as many as maga where I live
anything more than like 2 or 3 guns is kind of redundant IMO. You need a 9mm pistol and an assault rifle in case the shit really hits the fan. A shotgun is good for home defense. Lots of ammo of course.
Offense is necessary, but don't forget the defense (if possible). This kit is lightweight & mobile. I didn't stock up on food, as I'm sure I can "find" some in my travels. #SilentRunnings
Do need a mask and vest with a concealed pocket Mask for extreme Vest for daily
Pretty much the same here.
What they may have are all the military grade toys Reminds me...I need more ammo
Also, for a while, have been considering getting a gun but for climate change related reasons—if/when things get bad, it will be worse for women.
You’re years late. Get your shit together.
Someone pointed out early, but the posted has been deleted, we need drones.
Money > guns. If everyone would truly stop spending their money (general strike) we could do this w/out guns. But, some people really ❤️ their guns & not so much inconvenience. I'd much rather win this with smarts & wit over force & violence. However, by any means necessary. ✊
A gun. I would suggest 1. 30/06 rifle 2. 12 gauge pump shotgun 3. Revolver or pistol 9mm up to a 45 caliber. Then get in some range time and get familiar with them. Then plenty of ammo for the 3 of them. Get a holster for that side arm. A survivor guide book for some casual reading.📖🤣😂 really 🤬
*drones
I feel obligated to inform you that many of my non liberal friends have MANY guns. One will help, but a war with the well armed (especially those with a lot of ammo) is not a good idea. I'm not saying we should give up but be very careful firing the first shot.
Well, most of my liberal friends have guns too
so are you non liberal friends fascists then?
No. I still believe they're better than that. Some are suspected, but I'm pushing them to find their limits. I'd still warn not to approach them with bad intent.
What does that even mean? Sounds to me like you know what your friends are and you and don’t have a problem with them. You know that one about dinner with racists.🤷🏾♂️ IMO you are on a “Good people on both sides” level.
Yeah I have a hardcore racist MAGA uncle. It’s difficult because I have good memories with him from my childhood, but I don’t talk to him anymore.
I don’t know how much worse it can get. We just stopped caring about each other’s feelings and wellbeing. Now it’s wrong to be empathetic. We are not who we think we are. What nation of integrity would allow a felon to pardon 1500 felons?
This is what happens when reason and the rule of law die. Violence is the only way to fight tyranny.
I posted this that kind of speaks to that bsky.app/profile/b21r...
I used to think that too.
Isn't there the "stupid factor" too, tho? Russia started dumbing-down their country after WWI. When all education is removed, a society only knows what they're told. It's what "Moron Mainstream Media" is trying to do to US.
A nation that follows the rule of law zealously, forgetting the spirit of the law behind it. Remember, a lot of orange guy's support comes from people who deem certain other people "illegal". Why are they illegal? Because our immigration system is broken beyond repair.
DITTO! It would seem appealing to our government, police & military for help & protection doesn’t work. When did that happen?
My brother in law is hardcore Fox watcher. He used to be the life of the party, now I can barely be in his presence, try to ignore his rants. Very rarely visit, feel bad because I love my sister and she claims she is not a Yrump supporter but don’t know how she can live with him if she’s not.
Sad, my entire family lives in Ohio. You know the rest.
I'm in Ohio and most if my family are in the cult.
I dread my visit to this state.
I don't have dinner with them anymore, but I know they'd take care of me in a time of need. If you think people should just give up on 30% of the country, then you don't know what's going to save it.
I think the point he is making is to avoid underestimating the opposition. Poorly trained, poorly armed people will die a pointless death, no matter how young and strong you think you are. Non-violent Resistance will allow you to survive until victory. Be invincible, unafraid, defend, protect.
Why are you still friends with them, though? It's not 2018, it's 2025. You should have a very good idea where they stand by now. There's lots of points of no return that we've crossed.
Life isn't black and white. I really don't keep up with them now. But I know if I called on them in pinch they'd be there. My hope is they'll come around.
Then call on them to reject fascism. We're at 1933 on our "progress to fascism" meter. Some things actually are black and white, and supporting the orange guy and his policies past 2018 is one of them.
it’s only a fascism to them if it affects them personally in a negative way. If it’s only happening to the “other” then they keep cheering it on.
Hell, even if it does affect them negatively, they will most likely still blame the other
Arguing for gray in a situation like we’re facing now is an admission that you would rather bargain with evil than fight it. I’m making the call right now: When the time comes to pick a side, you’re going to collaborate.
Only evil works in absolutes. Hence why we are where we are.
From one wolf to another, this is a horrible take. You're so scared of black and white that you're allowing black to define itself as grey. Look, I get that we want to avoid all-or-nothing thinking, but I'm serious when I say we're at 1933. Militarized police are being mobilized in the streets.
I’m not worried about militia men in the middle of Idaho. I think you’re okay Jethro. No offense, but wtf are you actually talking about??
Those same militia men from the middle of Idaho are signing up to be ICE agents and getting a $50k signing bonus and $150k per year.
Yes. We are in the beginnings of a civil war, if we allow it. Civilians with ammo is what is SUPPOSED to curtail thus according to the militia. But, nah, they just live to suck orange nuts.
No, it’s not a civil war because nobody is taking up arms on our side. It’s a fascist military occupation with only a weak resistance. It was all we could do to have a No Kings protest for one day then it fizzled out.
If a governor actually told the NG to disobey the unconstitutional order and protect the citizens from ICE and Trump sent in the regular military, and they were split in their loyalty, then we might have a civil war.
Sounds like let they pass & sit back & be run the fuck over! NOT HAPPENING!
Guerilla.
Liberals have lots of weapons too
Assholes with guns are going to shoot everything up if anyone tries to resist the brig beautiful coup. Have I got that right?
Pew Pew Pew Merica!
you've only got two hands, and you cant carry thousands of rounds on you. It doesnt matter how many ARs they have, they can still only practically use one at a time. Use your fucking brain FFS.
You're assuming you know where the battleground is...
Guerilla warfare has no front.
it's your front porch, dipshit.They are coming for YOU. It's your street. It's infront of the state capitol, state militias vs Federal loyalist forces. USE.YOUR.FUCKING.BRAIN.
If your impression is that drastic, then maybe you shouldn't be criticizing people who may be on your side. Prepare and be smart.
Perhaps you should tell us where it is then.
Where the hell do people get the money? Guns aren’t cheap, but ammo is big $.
My hope is most of them will just shoot themselves in the foot
Liberal progressive here….a shitton of weapons…not afraid at all.
We can't out gun them but we can outsmart them.
Already happening in Texas.. Two guys stating they were ice came to a guys door at night, they fired through door, he shot and killed them. Gov now said they didn't know who they were🤷🏼♀️
I and many of my liberal friends are well armed. We just don’t flaunt it.
Correct
F them.
Then learn to make and fly drones with faraday cages.
I’m a progressive revolutionary and I have guns and ALOT of ammo.
You need better friends.
Then we get more
As a card carrying progressive I have two guns.
Just saying in almost every large city on the country there are large groups of military aged men that have been engaged in guerrilla warfare against the state for decades and are heavily armed. MAGA mobs try to move in on their turf they will learn that urban warfare ain’t like target shooting
No war has ever been won between the rank and file. The only way to win is to take out the leaders. Don't bother with your time with the idiots who follow them.
Also been saying this #1000RANDOPATRIOTS is all it takes. The list is obvious, I know who I’m going for, do you?
Profound
No one said draw 1st blood More like... They will hunt us down and ...whatever. You already know
Exactly!!
First blood was already drawn, no one did anything
Yep, some ICE thugs opened fire on a family with young children and some private security contractor shot some elected officials.
So your friends don’t like democracy? And would fight against it? Is that what non liberals do?
No, that's not true. Remember that democracy is what got us here. Just too many sat out the last election.
They sat out the last election because democracy has been gone for awhile.
Yeah, that’s interesting logic.
There’s more to it than voting. The folks you vote in have to do what you want them to do. Do you see evidence of our elected officials working for the interests of the electorate? They represent the interests of big money.
Not enough but there are some. One problem is their party affiliation affects them. Not enough general voter support or support from their own party if its against the "greater good" of the party. Tribal BS! Term limits are so important to improve that. Also, no stock trading and no lobbying.
Just watching them all gang up on Mamadani. Unbelievable. He might do something to help regular, working NYers and he’d be focused on NYC, not Israel. We can’t have THAT!
Liberals also have a lot of guns we just don’t make it our whole identity. Second as a veteran I can tell you, shooting a gun and combat shooting are two different skillsets.
Exactly. We are not going up against our own military with our guns. Jesus Christ. 🤣
Thank you for your service. I don't doubt that liberals have guns. But they're also less likely to come out to blindly cause chaos. I'll go in your direction and hope that the reasonable will protect and prevail👍
Yes but see you already stated why these gun-toting morons would fail: they’d be chaotic without cohesion or discipline and that would be their downfall.
And the gestapo will blow up the 2d amendment crowd in a flash. I suspect that in states where marijuana is legal and there are medical marijuana recipients, those people will be easy arrests.
There are plenty of people who are neither right or left and are feeling threatened by a heavy-handed government and many of these people have access to guns. There will be a tipping point.
That's true people are just starting to believe what's really happening in our country.I hope it doesn't take all our violence to break out☹️
I like to think when this starts it won't be neighbor against neighbor, but We The People against the authorities trying to keep all of us lowly citizens from getting food, healthcare, basic necessities, etc. But maybe I'm just blissfully naive.
Protection. Not to target people.
Both I think it will be both There will be insane magats driving around shooting , running over, firebombing and he realized assaulting. Women and children will be their targets Texas...they will be at playgrounds ..not in high $ white parks ...average diverse ones
Maybe at first, but if they're starving right along with us and Orange Messiah ain't paying them in food... Well, they'll run out of energy pretty quick. But we'll see, I guess. And tRump could use the North Korea model and only give the military (and paramiliary?) food. Sooooo...
Yes, I can see that too. But hopefully not as many as some fear. With any luck...
They have many because it makes them feel "special". Those special people have never shot at anything that shoots back. Also the tyrannical government they support doesn't need them anymore. That government keeps track of ammo purchases. Just a thought.
If you go far enough left you get your guns back. I have four myself. Neighbors have an actual gun room.
Just because they are armed doesn't necessary mean they know what to do with them and tactics and the element of surprise would be key. But when the time comes, outing the people we pretend are friends but are really disgraceful fascist would also be necessary. As well as finding better friends
Let me guess, they studied the blade Cringe edgelords should go back to the chans
All of my liberal friends have guns. Most have many guns & have military backgrounds. They hit what they aim for.
I hate to inform you but many of my Liberal Friends are just as locked and loaded. The misinformation is that WE don't pack! Let them fafo!
It’s concerning when Jewish people are arming themselves.
How many guns can they use at once cause that's all that really matters. One or 2, plus tons of ammo is all you need.
They’re not the only ones with guns.
It’s the first time I’ve ever thought about it. I don’t want a gun anywhere in my house, but these MFs?
Same girl!!
Get over it. Break your programming.
I’m in Texas (only because my 91 year old mother needs care) so getting a gun will be easy peasy. I’m afraid that’s something I’ll need being a microscopic blue speck choking in red vomit. That would be Lubbock…
Newsom is a fascist I hope he chokes
Gavin newsom is not the answer. He's a Zionist and he did some friendly interviews with some far right assholes. So fuck him. He's only useful in so far as making conservatives mad and his potential redistricting that really needs to happen. Other than that fuck him.
That centrist lib chick blocked me.
As ONE AGAINST THOSE ATTACKING OUR CONSTITUTION!
#ICE #ICEBarbie #Texas #Houston #Dallas #LA #Trump #Republicans #ICEAgents #FBI #MAGA #WhiteHouse
Should be a nationwide protest . Waste and tie up the resources
Wish we would have kept it open for more seats. Because as we know the Regime will steal more. We in California could wipe the board with the seats we could win
If Newsom is the best we have we are fucked. I won't vote for that fascist motherfucker
Yes!!
Unfortuntly There’s never been a revolution without violence it’s why it’s call resistance. Usually most of the time the good guys pushing forward against the bad guys. Either way this is bad every way we turn it and it’s no way to live.
What? You mean we can't stop a violent, fascist, authoritarian regime with posterboard signs, peaceful protests, and funny Internet memes?! I mean, it's not as if some of us have been suggesting that for years now.
Love this post. It’s powerful. Thanks for sharing itn
Start here bsky.app/profile/cher...
youtu.be/EKnoUbDIpjo?...
Hahaha… yeah. Got it
Don't forget the pearl clutching. The pearl clutching didn't work either. Neither did exclamations like "STOP" and "HE CAN'T DO THAT"! Just riffin' a few greatest hits here.
My favorite, the sternly worded letter.📝smh
Yeah, whomever said that the pen was mightier than the sword (a poet) clearly didn't have to deal with fascists and it shows!!!
True
youtu.be/ZwuYtzUOcKk?...
Yup
At this point I would welcome that vs the big nothing burger that is happening now!
Please God, say it isn't so.
At least he’s pissing the military off along the way
I hope.
Oh me too. Me too.
Are you sure about that? We have precious little reports that indicate this is the case. No news about mass objections from National Guard, no social media from troops calling on Duty to Disobey. No discussions of UCMJ Law Article 90 & 92.
From your lips to God’s ears 🙏
yes, been saying this since January. Gotta say, though, I put the timeline as the bottom falling out and violence by the end if summer, so congrats on proving me wrong… … so far…
Welp, still got one week to “Labor Day” the unofficial end of summer so don’t count your chickens just yet friend…
Yeah. I am here hoping history will be wrong this time but yeah…ugh, it does seem that way.
There's a ton of violence every day already. It's been ten years of it already
yep! At this point who gives a f it would be worth it
That what history shows. And you don’t win when you throw groups of the vulnerable under the bus.
Maybe you're right, but the history we're taught is a timeline of battles, wars, coups, assassinations, and broken treaties. It's told from the POV of government and powerful men. Not much taught about non-violent resistance and sabotaging powerful systems. It's deliberate.
That's not entirely true. Schools venerate Ghandi and MLK Junior, but they pretend that they won because they were peaceful, which is false. They won for the same reason that 13 puny colonies defeated the world-spanning British Empire: they were determined and united.
The oligarchs want people to remain divided, believing that there are good people in government so that they don't have a single unifying cause to rise against. They want the people to trust morons like Biden, because trusting Biden meant no one opposed their coup.
They don't want the people to wake up to the reality that they outnumber the oligarchs millions to one.
It just perpetuates the idea that teachers are part Of the problem. With a few exceptions, we are front lines trying to care for the most vulnerable in our communities.
Hey now, if you are not a teacher and the last time you stepped into a classroom was when u were a kid, please don’t discuss how things are taught. Most teachers, who are not maga, there are a few, also talk about their leadership and how they inspired so many people to get up and get organized.
I am not blaming teachers. Teachers don't decide what's in textbooks. Some teachers absolutely highlight uprisings and talk about non-violent resistance. World or US history courses are biased toward violence. If you want to learn other events that shaped the world you have to take special classes.
Gotcha! I think we are feeling sensitive to criticism right now. I’m absolutely terrified what is happening with our public education.
Yes, but there was violence perpetrated by the state in all of those cases and both of those men were assassinated. Strikes, protest, smuggling, sabotage, and the acts that undermine a regime are rarely taught as coordinated efforts that undermine power. They are taught as one-offs.
Good luck with that
Unfortunately I don't believe the resistance needed can be non violent. I mean, I hope so, but I don't have much hope.
You become ungovernable....there is actually training for it....
Absolutely. But not through public school. That's where we learn to be compliant.
Gotcha...but it's never too late to learn and apply it now....
I was just thinking about how the right thinks about public school as indoctrination and it is in so many ways, just not the way they think.
Very true...they're ruining it because of they're ignorance...
I’m keeping hope alive
I don't got fight in me right now I'm sore from all my work shifts.
😪
Yup. The time for polite discourse is over.
Easy, god. Peaceful protests, massive in size, and strong economic boycott are powerful tools.
Until they aren’t.
Grow up. It hasn’t worked in 10 years. To stop fascism always require violence. Protests didnt stop Hitler, Stalin, or Putin.
Your house is engulfed in flames. With a massive wildfire surrounding it. There is no water to be had. No equipment. No personnel. You’re by yourself, in your underwear, as everything you ever had is burning. Masked men come and take your surviving child. They beat you and leave you for dead. Ideas?
But they need to happen NOW, and be organized nationally. Where the hell is the opposition party ⁉️ Schumer, Jeffries, and Durbin are useless. smh 😠😡
We are on our own. The DNC, Congressional Democrats aren't going to help us. We have to start forming our militias now. By state. What I don't get is no one is stepping up to lead us. I asked a lot of people last year. Crickets.
The opposition party is waiting for a leader. I have no idea who that person will ultimately be.
We can’t even get liberals to stop shopping through Amazon ffs 🤦🏻♀️
You mean the Weekend Warrior stuff?
Those protests have not slowed the regime at all. They’ve accomplished over 47% of P2025 in just over 7 months. There’s very little stopping the pedo and his vile sycophants. I’m glad you have hope, but it’s time to be realistic about what’s to come. Prepare now! www.project2025.observer/en
We all know what happened when the Russians began massing all across the Ukrainian border. Now we have armed national guard massing in cities across the country. With the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in command. Holy shit.
they're getting away with it... for now. because they're using bludgeons. but we have much smarter forces.
Such as?
Gavin, for one.
I believe this.
Yeah, notice how all those National Guard folks and the ICE thugs, etc aren't going into neighborhoods where there would be armed pushback....
Exactly right. They show up at schools, churches, courthouses; places of employment, suburban neighborhoods. Chicken shit bastards.
They haven't tried that shit in my neighborhood so far. I live in Phoenix aka the wild frickin west. We can buy as many as we want to at the "every two months gun shows and we don't even have to register them! On top of all that, we can open carry without a permit/license 😳
Howdy neighbor...Tempe here.
Howdy neighbor! Hope you have been stocking *pew pew*
Yes
Sadly
Been saying this since November. I’m february(profile pic) I was in DC. We had our chance to end it all then, but murica wanted to wait to see what would happen in the next episode. Then they all went back to bed
Sadly
Good god I hope you make it short and the pain primarily suffered by the RWNJs
historically proven the last 100 years. once authoritarians seize power, you aint getting it back without a lotta blood.
No.
I will bathe in their blood 🩸.
You build with one hand and fight with the other.
Yes you're right Carron and I agree with you!
I hate physical violence.
History says you're correct. I'm a conscientious objector so I'll leave y'all to it. I probably won't make it to the other side. I'll try to duck and cover but there IS a small chance I'll end up taking a bullet for someone else. I'd rather go down saving someone than killing someone.
Did you see the news from Houston today about a couple of 'maybe ICE' who met the owners of the home they invaded right before they died for Trump? ICE shot through the door. Homeowners helped them find out. Local law says it looks like self-defense to them.
Well. All I know about this is the tweet you're offering here. Still. IF the homeowners were inside their home and shot at the ICE agents? That's DEFINITELY self-defense. If ICE agents shot INTO the house? That's DEFINITELY not self-defense on the part of ICE. Probably variables I don't know.

I'll be multi-tasking when it comes.
Plenty of sugar to fill tanks. Things to organize. People to teach.
I'm old and disabled. I'll be there with you. I'd be more hindrance than help.
Me too! Old and disabled I mean. I'm not AS old and disabled as some but this isn't a competition.
Exactly. Disabled is disabled. The problems may be physical. They may be psychological. They may be invisible. They may not be understood or even accepted by the medical community. We don't get extra points for having more or less limitations than the next person.
We're all on this pale blue dot in space together. 💙
I used to be a pacifist.
Me, too.....
That’s exactly what they want.
No, they want you to obey and be silent. They will out individuals untill every one is to scared to protest. They do not an excuse to send ice into democratic cities, why would they need an excuse for martial law? Organise, boycot. People only have peacefull power when they unite and sacrifice.
I'm mentally prepared to put my body on the line for democracy. This is war.
Would the national guard be on our side when this goes down, I’d hope so. Is it being planned? I want in
I can’t trust them at this point. They had a chance to ignore the order to deploy. If they chose to, knowing what they’d be used for, then they’re on board with fascism.
Or be court marshaled
This really frightens me.
Join a resister movement so you know what to do and where to be.
Thank you. I will look into that.
It is frightening I agree, but when he starts having our Democratic politicians arrested or anyone who votes Democrat he has them all rounded up and put in a concentration camp is that when you’re gonna fight? It’ll be too late then.
