Call your Senators and Rep. Hold them accountable.
I am in Idaho. They. Don't. Care.
Then focus and work hard to elevate progressive candidates to challenge them. In very short order regular people are gonna feel the effects of this administration and they’re not going to like it.You have a better shot if you start now and have good messaging that reaches people who will want change
The Dark Ages. Information Blackout. Call it what you want. This paves the way for some really bad shit going down.
He has absolutely no clue what he is doing. He is striking out at anyone who does not agree with him. He is destroying this country. He and his party need to be stopped.
He knows exactly what he’s doing. Or should I say his handlers know exactly what he’s doing… it’s been a plan for decades…
He's doing what he is instructed to do
Utterly off his head. He’ll have to be admitted to a mental health institution soon
This is a complete take over and damn scary stuff. I don’t have answers and the answers I do have I can’t say. America was never free for everyone and now it is free for no one, but his damn people who remain loyal liars.

Not one Democrat leader or in Kamala’s team said a word about recount or tampering. Crickets. Now we are paying the price.
Trying to sweep under the weekend?
so making sure there are no watchdogs for his corruption
A dismantling of American safe guards guess this is why he wanted total immunity.
Shock and Awe is working. This will be a blip
I’m waiting for the night of the long knives… Coming soon. History repeats itself apparently America has not learned a lesson.
Of course the DoD was on that list. No one to keep check on the alleged alcoholic misogynist.
No, he doesn’t. He TRIED to fire them but did not. Please, precision in these times is crucial.
How will this end? Do we have to wait until midterms?
Because he is a criminal.
Oh, well. All this could have been avoided had Biden, Garland, and Schumer used their leadership powers to make sure that the ORANGE D3MON was held accountable for his HUGE crimes, and America wouldn't be in this CORRUPT MESS! But, "White Sympathy" got us here.
scotus, cannon and the authors of project 2025 would like us to think that
Until, something other than complaints and complacency comes from the Dems politicians, those are my thoughts.
Well he tried to fire them. We shouldn’t assume he succeeded.
Here we go again…buckle up. I hope his voters get what they asked for. The rich keep getting richer.
You think his voters are hearing about any of this? They don't listen to actual news. They still think J6 was a nice family picnic.
At some point they will get their ‘ah oh’ moment.
😢😠
😡
What is wrong with this nutcase?
any person with a moral compass will be terminated
Is this an illegal act?
No guardrails .... how convenient for the convicted felon.
He's incapable of formulating coherent policies coz he's stupid. So he wings it instead by just tearing stuff down. That's all he's ever done.
He dismantles more of our government structure and creeps ever closer to authoritarian command.
Republicans in Congress have rendered themselves completely irrelevant.
Exactly! Should be voiced on tv, paper, anyway this can get to the masses. The republicans are not the party it once was, now, all MAGAs answering only to dumpy. Having preacher graham traveling with dumpy is only for show! All irrelevant
Yes, the hypocrisy is so astronomical. They claim all of these things (party of family values, Christian, pro working families, etc). Yet they are one of those things.
What a fearful bunch. Repub politicians are afraid of musk & trump & all voters.
They’ve rendered themselves completely complicit
My petty side wonders if Trump is going to ignore the Constitution anyway, then create multiple sovereign states, and Trump can be the President of Nothing. Just sayin' USSR dissolved in 1991 and created 15 sovereign states. Not easy, yet possible.
Let the abuses and crimes begin!
It’s not legal.
They don't care.
Can’t steal taxpayers blind if there are watchdogs.
You had a good run America.
Yes. Its been a blast. Send thoughts and prayers. Somebody’s accepting those. 😞
Now let's see if Congress let's him get away with it. Bring on the law suits and let's get them reinstalled. Middle finger to the sack-o-shit-in-chief!
Adolf Hitler also worked late… #fucktrump to hell - You are making the worst country on the planet. Not the greatest!
Look at that face…not even a mother could love that face…🤮
Damn orange scum
Who can I write/call/email to amplify my objection to this? I have called my (R) US Representative, as well as Senators Schiff and Padilla. Ise the white house number even worth calling or will I get an ICE raid also?
Thanks @joebiden.com !
Kind of like firing all the security personnel at the bank before you rob it.
Exactly!!!!
Google: "Where can Americans seek political asylum."
Only magats are surprised right now, even though Cheetolini is doing what he said he would do. They voted for him because they DIDN'T believe what he said? Morons.
I think MAGAts voted for him because they want America white, Christian and straight. They didn’t care about anything else, the felonies, the lies, the cheating…they didn’t care if he destroyed the country as long as in the end a theocracy was installed and bigotry was normalized
🤬 Yes...
Their Christianity is not of my Christ. Jesus would never behave in their manner.
100% No more MAGA gaslighting. They voted for this because they want this.
That’s how I see it too. They wanted this!
They are racist, antisemitic, xenophobic, and misogynistic deplorables
💯%
This.Right.Here
I agree with you but you need to add want a America rich, white, Christian and straight.
Ohh you’re right. I stand corrected
This.
This. 100% this.
👏👏👏💯💯💯
Absolutely!
When you see the posts that Trump voters are pist repost them, take photos.This is how we break through. Trashing Trump is not working. When they & see hear fellow friends, it will hit harder.
They get 30 days notice, right?
All absolutely wonderful, brilliant, and the most dedicated civil servants I have ever seen. I worked for a committee of IGs, they are incredible folks. This is a real loss for our government and for the watchdog community.
Illegal. Take him to court.
I don’t mean to sound ignorant. I just stepped into politics in 2016 bc of hating trump so I’m still learning. I see a lot of reporting about T’s actions but nothing about what we’re going to do? I can’t believe we just sit by and watch? Are our hands tied?
Folllow Marc E Elias he is fighting as are others
@democracydocket.com @marcelias.bsky.social
Already there!!😉
We need a #nationalstrike or a revolution.
There's literally nobody to hold him accountable. All checks & balances have been wiped away for this tyrant to do as he and his handlers please.
I’m right there with you. I started to pay more attention around 2015. Where are the former US presidents? Their cabinet members, former US Congresspersons? We need leaders to find a way to unite us & use their knowledge of government to educate the public on what’s happening in realtime?
I’m wondering the same thing. I wondered why they all sat at his inauguration. I wondered why none of these former presidents who all believe this guy is dangerous are doing anything. Every single person in power needs to come forward and start denouncing this guy every single day everywhere…
Sickening, isn’t it?!
It’s sickening and confusing. We’re told he’s a threat to democracy. I get being the bigger person, but now is not the time to be the fucking bigger person! Could you imagine the optics if no past president showed up at his inauguration?
I try to follow independent journalism instead of cable / network news. So much of liberal news is venting. We must get new DNC chair in place & pull together. Get directions. Make plans.
Donate to the ACLU. If you are a lawyer volunteer your services.
Congress would need to push back. Republicans are in the majority so not sure they will do anything. We (the people) need to call/write our congresspersons no matter who (D, R or I).
Well guess what?! Fetterman is my congressman and I did write and got a letter back (I’m sure sent to everyone who writes) that not everyone being appointed by trump is bad and he was supporting certain appointees. Basically a “no one is my gatekeeper” message. Fat chance my congressman makes a diff
Thank you don't stop contacting his office. I live in Tennessee and before that Louisiana they have to know you're paying attention.
I learned it was actually illegal for him to do that. There are procedures. He wants to be a dictator so he's trying to just push the button to make sure everybody does exactly what he says without even standing in his way. We need to stop this idiot before he destroys America.
Illegal doesn’t matter as he has full immunity for this shit. He thinks he will rule the world and do what he pleases without repercussions. This is a very dangerous man. Giving a stupid person carte Blanche is a disaster waiting.
You said a mouthful, but guess what, there's going to be a change soon. Watch for it, it's in the wind.
I peeked in on the sesspool site and one of the threads was celebrating this as a draining of the swamp. Praising him and all the good that will come from this. I don't know why I did that to myself, but I also feel like I need to know their narrative to combat it with facts that resonate.
I guess the fact that they are *Independent* IG’s escaped notice.🙄
So much for that great checks and balances system of ours! The Dotard (P01135809) is making a mockery of the "democratic" system.
Trump's hat is black. That stylistic enhancement was Elon's suggestion. Now we can look forward to crowds of ridiculous morons in black hats instead of red. The black sheep from every family, how apt.
Proud boy colors….
Violated 30 day noticed rule to congress but they will use this as an exception
suno.com/song/c159baf...
We are watching the consolidation of power in real time and it should terrify even the staunchest MAGA voters. We’ve seen this movie before and it didn’t end well.
It won’t worry a MAGAt. They watch Murdoch news and follow their dear leader. But for the majority of the US who are MAGAts, maybe this stuff will motivate them to vote!
Who aren’t MAGAts….we need an edit button 😳
Okay I get that but you cannot be blind to hundreds of thousands losing their jobs in Federal government 🤔 😳 Family, bother, a siste,r a mother, a friend . They can't hide that.
You’re right if that many people lose jobs, it will not go over well
They don’t hear what is really going on, it’s not reported.
No MAGA I know is even paying attention to this stuff. Their willfull ignorance ensures their smug comfort wirh their poor choices.
Is there a group of lawyers who can prosecute the individuals for following illegal orders? I’m thinking ice the Secret Service the military. If we prosecute individuals on state crimes and tie them up financially it will send a message to MAGA. He doesn’t care about the individual but they do.
Donate to the ACLU, CREW, lavender legal, or whichever organization you think will work the hardest to stop the village idiot, FFOTUS, from selling America for parts.
I’ve been donating to the ACLU! Encourage everybody to donate to whichever organization they feel most comfortable with
Oops. That’s illegal. They must be notified at least 30 days in advance.
Illegal? It’s adorable that you believe that we’re still a nation of laws.
That’s right.
Brick by brick !
Smells like #Project2025
Because he has SS protection. If he didn’t it’d be over .
So it begins!!
This is a massive Criminal Conspiracy. Much larger and more dangerous than the last time. They have had four years to plan. They are removing all oversight in the first week.
We don't want accountability or truth, do we? Or anyone who will face Trump.
Suffering is coming for us all. I choose to suffer with purpose. I will bear up under the burden of fascism so my immigrant, queer, black, disabled, poor and in danger neighbors may suffer less. But we coulda had free school lunch you unfuckable fascists.

Infuckable fascists is my new favorite thing 😍
Yeah, my phone didn’t like it at first, but we came to an understanding. I mean unfuckable. I hope that it makes its way into our daily outbursts. Because it says what I mean instead “Fuck you” which implies there’s any partnered orgasm in their future. Fascists are unfuckable.
😆 yes
*Unfuckable
25th the 47th
And NOW you see why his cabinet is full of losers who otherwise wouldn’t be able to get a job changing oil.

Purge. Privatize. Pardon. Rise and repeat playbook.
I'm not donating another dollar to Democrats in Congress until they start fighting to save us!!!! McConnell and Republicans fought *everything* Pres. Obama tried to do. Resist!!!!
The word you're looking for is OPPOSE. As in the LOYAL OPPOSITION.
I get the frustration, but that will not solve our countries issues. Sucks to be in the minority, and many of us are sick and tired of the back and forth on this...
What can they d? Republicans have all three branches and SCOTUS.
Well, at least my eggs are less expensive. Well, at least my eggs are controlled by the government. One of those is accurate. 🤦♀️
An organizational Kristallnacht.
Nice Proud Boys themed cap he's sporting here.
I roll up to DOD IG…
Well, I wonder how that's going to help the American people. How is bringing down the prices for us? Why do we need to bring down taxes for the billionaires and corporations?
Trump told the cult. He said it out loud. “I don’t care about you. I just need your votes.”
👎
To the 36% who did not vote…Happy now?
Agreed. 🇪🇺🇺🇦🌻
To be fair, we're now finding out at least three to four million of those who did not vote were in fact disenfranchised by Republicans.
Fair but that is what, about 5% of voters who did not vote?
Some of them are blindly oblivious ,with heads in the sand and only interested in sports, Beyoncé and watching Squid Games. Ignorance is bliss.
Most of them don't watch the news but then I don’t think any of the news media report on half the corrupt stuff Trump does.
Until the brown shirts are knocking on their door. Of a sudden they will want to know what is happening! Too late!
Red Hats
Is that another term for dumb as dirt?
No IG at DoD means Hegseth will break his non drinking pledge ASAP
Notice Trump is now wearing the Proud Boy colors. This is not an accident.
I'm terrified.
Once you get over being terrified get mad.
I ran out of angry.
Wah Wah mommy they are being mean to me….
He's not smart enough to do this on his own. The Project 2025 is in full force. The orange criminal's just the face.
But of course he did, he found out just how annoying those guys could be his first time around. Bet he just avoids them being replaced.
The waterfall of trump sewage keeps coming, legal or not. If it doesn’t work, they’ll move to the next target.
He's getting rid of the people that would shed light on any and all of his actions that are contrary to US & State laws and legislation.
I am impressed that the worst is happening so fast! They should be able to completely destroy democracy sooner than later. The voters win. Congratulations.
Trump’s Project 2025 has been planning this for years. This is not his usual from the hip nonsense. It is a delicate dismantling of the state. Welcome to the start of the Second Dark Ages.
If there's no checks and balances.... The thievery will commence!
That is one of the smarmiest looking SOBs you'll ever see.
Checks and balances both accounts have been drained $0.00 balance
Let the kleptocracy begin. They'll do what Putin and accomplices did to Russia
Here we go.
Apart from the fact that he appears to have just broken another law. bsky.app/profile/bjch...
Is he dead yet
I don't think he can he has to give 30 days notice so it's illegal
The Supreme Court said he has immunity. He can't be punished for it. But even so, can he DO it if everyone else has to abide by that law?
He's trying to make sure that nobody's watching his criminality, but he seems to forget WE ARE WATCHING
He is dismantling the ability of our government to function smoothly with no other plans in place. Just giving jobs to unqualified loyalists.
ANNNDDDD he’s blocked the CDC from informing the public if there is any new pandemic. Me & my mom almost died from the Norovirus, literally, she went into cardiac arrest and had to have a pacemaker put in after 20 days in the hospital. She is currently in a rehab. I had no idea this virus is deadly
Any virus can affect the heart. I hope your mom is doing ok❤️ I'm a cardiac arrest survivor myself (from a genetic heart condition)
Awww prayers of strength to you & tyvm she had an EKG eight months ago & everything was fine a little plaque here & there but that Norovirus is a killer that we weren’t warned about. We have to be super aware in case they use biohazard warfare against us. she’s doing OK we’re playing bingo today. ❤️😜
There’s so much shit going around right now it’s unreal.
Toadies wanted to fill 12 positions in D.C. Must kiss my ass and bend over upon suggestion No experience required
I see he has adopted the Proud Boy colors for his hat, they must be satisfied. POS
Getting rid of the refs pretty much broadcasts that you intend to break the rules.
Yes.
Opening the door to make this like Russia. With government officials enriching themselves with our tax dollars.
He wants no one to tell on him doing his crimes. Remember he only wants his people in there so they won’t snitch. Yes men all around him. They all are gonna play their part in destruction of our country. Rat bastards.
As Randi Rhodes points out, Musk's wealth came largely from government subsidies. We need to stop the robber barons guarding the henhouse
The knives! They’re so long! Why are we letting this happen?
He's wearing the proud boys colors, black and gold.
When will he need all of the felons that he just released from prison?
Nazi
Shades of his first term,make shocking,upsetting, controveral,acts/announcements on the weekends. He knows that the few people who are newsjunkies are off for the weekend. Also the top reporters are not working on weekends. Come Monday,new stuff flood the media,and everyone forgets Friday night.
JFC It’s gonna be a loooong 4 years
Trump is a moron. He is not capable of doing all this. Project 2025 which he lied about is happening.
Well, we wouldn't want independent IG's, would we?
A draft dodger at that, this is insane and he is coming after anyone and everyone who slighted him in the least.
Rather confused on the legalities and what's next?
trump,et all, are going criming!
Chaos is power.
Evil and man of no integrity. He doesn't want any of us to see what he or his department heads are doing that in wrong.
Nope. Won't work.
Looks like another lawsuit soon. The courts have to stop him as soon as he pulls this kind of 💩.
Anyone think about why Trump wants to take away FEMA? The red states are the ones who vote for him. They are score less on school tests. They have less high speed internet. Basically less informed. And with insurance pulling out the people are devastated and destitute. Trump and his investors (1/2)
(2/2) come swooping in and paying low dollar cash for their lands. Can you imagine the wealth he will gain by buying up property? He talks sh*t about Cali but you know he would love to buy the land from them. It's a con. It's a f*cking con. We get upset about Fema and he gets rich! 😡
He’s making my stock go down too. Add that to the list. What a joke. What did America do?!
What is with all the media stating this move “appeared to violate”!! It clearly does violate federal law. State it! Whether not the Supreme Court’s bought majority decides to back his dismissals later has no bearing on his current actions. He has clearly violated federal laws!
But isn't he immune? SCOTUS gave him immunity.
The shield SCOTUS gave FOTUS is immunity from PROSECUTION for his "official acts." That does not mean that any illegal actions he takes will not be rolled back by judicial decision.
Wonder what crime is coming next?
He did not "fire" anyone--he sent out a cranky letter saying he did, and we're giving the letter legitimacy by acting as though it has any clout. Language matters.
And how do you think the media is going to react to this? Shock, dismay, wtf, accountability... Crickets. The sound of waves, a slight breeze... Once upon a time the media was considered watchdogs, inspectors, free speech defenders. No more.
It's in Project 2025.
Destroying our🇺🇸
He spent the last 4 Years training his sycophants for these positions, it’s part of Project 2025 . #Impeach47
I beg to differ, his sycophants planned all of this. He is not smart enough.
I agree with you , he’s just the puppet
I think we should change the spelling to sickophants.
Trump is a complete moron. There are others behind the scenes doing this. But don’t worry we are watching and we know who they are…
Isn't it about time for him to fall down a flight of marble stairs?
Now no one will stop him grifting even more.
He's drunk with power.
Theft will commence.
Stand by for some bullshit comment from Trump designed to distract attention from this obvious corruption. This hatchet job took place on a Friday night in the hope fewer people will notice. 2026 can't come fast enough. Trump says he'll primary dissenters. Anyone can make that threat. Take names.
Of course. His rhetoric about taking over Canada is distraction
Can't have anyone snitching on all the crimes he will be committing.
Maybe we'll get lucky and trump will get abducted by aliens and get dropped off on Mars or something.
How many of these IG’s were thrown into the pit to cover for the primary motive DoD firing?
I love their response. Talk to congress and try again. We will be on the job for now .
So are the Dem leadership just sitting idle and watching this all go down? They have been awfully quiet only telling us what we already know.
This makes me rage more than anything because what he/they are doing is exactly what was said was going to happen!!!! Where is the collective democrat outrage, where are the podium speeches, where are they rallying and educating the people to do something about it???
Democratic.
No, democrat outrage! The democrats!
At this rate, the United States ceases to be a democracy by Monday
Felon Trump is a criminal attacking and firing people who have integrity- his administration will again go down in history as the most corrupt in US history.
America….Lets FIRE this dickhead before it’s to late!! One week out of 4 yrs he has done nothing but position himself for complete dick—- traitor ship—— king with power. His cabinet, his signing EOs all heading his way. Fuck this asshole, fight him!!
We’re under authoritarian regime
They aren’t wasting time with their sick decapitation strike on the body politic.
What could go wrong?
That is how a gutless psuedo tough guy gets things done. In darkeness when there is nobody around to resist. Trump always punches down.
The resistance rises at his every step 👀 👉 @genstrikeus.bsky.social
What exactly can we do to stop this.
They need to stay for 30 days. Barricade themselves in their offices and hire a good lawyer. See if Trump/Hegseth sic the military on them
Isn’t that illegal? Doesn’t he have to notify Congress within a specified time? Seem to remember 1 month?
THIS is what happens when this POS was not held ACCOUNTABLE!!!
God if only there had been a nearly 1,000 page plan of attack that we had months before the election that could have warned us of exactly what they were planning….. Cough……
yeah but he told everyone that wasn't his plan, knew nothing about it.
💯💯
We all knew this and those that voted for him will never believe he can be wrong.
Which is why I will at least get a small bit of joy when I watch their lives get destroyed too.
We need to shut this country down until he’s gone.
wtf? I mean nothing surprises me. How do we stop this?
We don’t, we watch him burn it down, grab the pitch forks and don’t take hostages.
We are watching our government dismantle in front of us as we did the coup....helplessly.
Make America too expensive to live in. Farms having issues already. This corrupt grifter wants to take a blue print from Russia.
It’s made even worse because trump is thick and frankly doesn’t care about anything apart from extorting the US for everything it has for himself on his vengeful tour of retribution. His attitude about the US will make people turn away why would anyone want to go there?
Independent inspectors. So he can put in loyalists. Or cut funding to give tax breaks for the Oligarchs.
He removed independent inspectors so the stealing and corruption has no watchers
Does he ever get how stupid he looks in those hats?
The correct response from them is "Go Fuck Yourself. We're staying according to the law."
Everyone of those IG were hired by Trump during his first administration - No warning - not 30-day notice either - I guess he doesn't care less- He has his billionaires and project 2025
And rogue SCOTUS granted immunity.
That's the part that we exoe t this lawless SC to just bow to all he wants - They are completely wrong - Its dangerous that this court that has been corrupted gets to have the final say - about Trump's complete chaos -
He'll put in compliant dependent inspectors instead.
This is illegal; these people have contracts.
And Congress is supposed to get 30 days notice Prior to firing Inspector Generals!
This is illegal; these people have contracts.
Anyone gonna stop him? So far, it looks like the answer to that is a resounding no.
We the people are the only lifeboat. Politicians only have power when WE give it to them willingly. We The People need to revolt, riot & protest, stop purchasing shit we don't need. Hurt them in their wallets. If We stop going to work, the ECONOMY STOPS DEAD. We Have The Power. Let's Mobilize!!
Yes, yes, yes, hurt corporations bottom lines, and standup, take action! I donate time to grassroots organizations, write letters to leadership filling there inbox, boycott companies, donate money to organizations who are fighting this magagoptrump circus of chaotic clowns!
Thank you for being brave
Laws are just for plebians in USA not billionaire Bond villians.👹👹👹
We thought we had laws but only for plebians not billionaire Bond villians.👹
I see he's taken the Space Nazi's black version of his MAGA hat.
Paving the way for corruption.
John Roberts owns this. He claims that “judges” only call balls and strikes.
Liar. They also make judgments against democracy, donate to politicians, take bribes, fly anti-American flags, etc.
I keep fearing we’re going to have a 9/11 moment. Something that will mark time like “where were you when you heard about 9/11?” It would subdue us very quickly. It would change everything.
What is going to stop this madness?!?
If you are a corporate raider and you intend to strip the company of its assets for your personal gain, this is what you do. Everything that Trump does is obvious. Everything Dems do to obstruct him is obscure. We need a young and vibrant Dem party, not the old and faded ones we got.
Is anyone running the US now? Anyone? Anyone at all???
Hitler 1930’s.
Can only guess what will replace them
Wow - FPOTUS (x34) is really working hard on lowering the price of eggs.
This is fine.
I know he doesn't follow laws, but are we just going to leave out the fact that he can't legally fire inspectors general without notice? Every single news outlet is leaving that part out. We should at least mention it.
We need the military to refuse to obey illegal, unconstitutional orders and to defend us against this madman! #USArmy #UsNationalGuard
Corrupt is not the right word. Criminal is not the right word. Trump is the most patently EVIL individual to ever draw breath on American soil. He is worse than any serial killer or mass murderer ever was.
Will we even have a Constitution left after his 4 years
Only if we fight back, hold them accountable, and stay engaged. We can’t roll over and let fear take us out. That’s their game plan. There are so much more of us.
Well, he has turned the courts against us. Next he will turn the military against us if we fight back too hard.
Actually, the courts of the ones holding him off right now. I know Scotus is stacked. You’re entitled to feel however you feel just know that giving up entirely without even a shred of a fight is what they want. I want to know, and I want my kid to know, that I at least tried in my own capacity.
What can be done. I feel like I'm watching a train wreck and can't do anything.
Same! Was just talking with a friend from Berlin. The rest of the world is terrfied what is happening over here.
Exactly!
Will we have a country??
I read elsewhere it was 18. At any rate, he failed to notify Congress. Supposedly, he failed to notify Congress (previously, an impeachable offense). For those in back - Inspectors General work to assure there is no waste or corruption. Trump firing them to replace them with loyalist is a new spin.
17 fired, because they voted for Kamala Harris--no other reason.
Anybody with any power to stop this are just sitting around with their thumbs up their ass. Fucking lame!
WE have the power to stop this. That’s the thing.
*had the power These chucklefucks are supposed to provide balance to power. They all kissed the ring and confirmed a woefully, embarrassingly, colossally unqualified appointee for Secretary of Defense. His only qualification is fealty to Trump If they don't pull their heads out, we're fucked
Yeah that’s the thing. Their heads aren’t coming out. But we are not powerless. It just might require a radical approach.
Civil war... but they control the most powerful military machine that has ever existed. They just confirmed a Trump loyalist as the Secretary of Defense. This is the crushing iron boot of fascism.
A military that swears allegiance to a constitution, not a person or ideology. Will they stand back and watch it be destroyed in front of them by domestic terrorists?
I think there will be a mix of both. I can see those that aren't loyal simply getting discharged by the puppets they're installing.
Do you think we'll see a civil war within the military?
Historically, I'd say no, but it's different this time. They're coming in with an actual strategy to implant fealty in key positions.
I don’t think many would oppose the regime unfortunately. Hope I’m wrong.
This conversation made me think of the LRAZ they busted out during BLM. Any real opposition is going to get gunned down en mass, get their ear drums incinerated and then their bodies likely blown to smithereens from tanks and rockets. It's going to take a lot of death to stop these Nazis.
I bought a gas mask but need to research better ear plugs.
Yes it is the crushing iron boot. Check out Antifascists of Reddit. We have power. They underestimate us. And that’s our secret weapon.
Is there a secure meeting place to discuss strategy?
I need to think on this. Really, anything online will be infiltrated. But it would be good to have a place online to chat in general terms.
Something like Signal seems decent. Not sure how it's equipped to operate at scale tho. I think it needs to be highly organized effort with a national framework in mind. I'd need Lawers, PR experts, key politicians (that can be 100% trusted)... etc. The goal would be to unify the voice of millions.
We could set one up just as a general Antifascist /anti-MAGA chat. It will be infiltrated so would have to be cognizant of that. But we could probably keep trolls at bay somewhat. In the meantime there’s the Reddit one (Antifascists of Reddit). Also check out “Behind the Bastards” Reddit chat.
I think signal is the app for that. Start with connecting with local opposition groups IRL tho.
I'm sorry, your on your own. If people do not rise up soon and fast it be devastating and will not stop. You will live in fear. He has unlimited powers.
He’s dismantling democracy
And the Head Inspector General told him no. Speaking truth to insanity.
ACLU
The resistance to these illegal executive orders has already begun. Anyone interested can read about the IG Act in the CRS report I’ve attached in excerpt: R46762.
They need to move faster.
They just got "fired" last night, grammynina. Pretty fast-moving, imo.
The guy that signed that letter, “Hannibal “ ware what the fuck is that? he should be put in that cage too
In all actuality, it is those behind-the-scenes that are doing all this shit because they are trying to stop accountability of anything. He’s just the paper signer,the big mouth. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He is the new Hitler. He is a Nazi a traitor to this country who has committed treason.
I hope he.......
He thinks he did. The head of the Council of Inspector Generals, sent a letter to the WH and said Trump should seek counsel, because it takes a 30 day notice to Congress before firing an Inspector General. It must detail the exact reason for firing the IG and explain. Trump lives on The Apprentice.
Please someone invade and take over
Trump did it at night because he doesn't have the Balls to fire anybody in person!
Doesn’t matter when he did it what matters is that no one is protesting!!! is congress on vacation already??
“Project 2025,”the thing Trump said he did not know anything about is in play.
And his cult members claimed tRump wasn't for it...
Expected.
"Most...dismissed were appointees from Trump's 2017-2021 first term...those affected had been notified by emails from the White House personnel director that they had been terminated effective immediately." Oh the betrayals! Won't be surprised when posts are left vacant.
Fascism is alive and well in traitor tRUMPs America
I wish headlines such as "Friday Night Massacre" were not applied to these disturbing actions. You know trump takes great pleasure in these headlines, and looks upon them with great pride.
