Ther taking the food off people's plates. Wake up or starve. If we can just tear this right wing parasite off our back and drop kick it into the abyss, we might just have a future .
I was actually worried that MARCH would end with martial law! They've been moving so incredibly fast in dismantling the government, and what I suspect is Musk and his little hacker maggots planting little bombs in all the federal software, so all they have to do it issue one command and everything would go down. Then Trump could declare a national emergency and the need for martial law to "fix it", and we'd be toast. I guess that could still happen, but I'm happy that so many insiders are now fighting back, it's truly encouraging.
Regarding your comment on the military. My daughter just celebrated 10 years in the Navy and every time over the last 10 years if i asked how she felt or the people she worked with about something political she always answered the same way. We aren’t political, mom. They need to be that way because the prez is thier boss. Its best for their ability to function to stay away from the news & politics. The beginning of this month, she texted me to ask about something political for the first time in 10 years. She is pissed off that an unelected rando without security clearance and unable to actually sit in the Presidents office since he wasnt born in this country assh@T is calling the shots without any consideration for outcomes. Things are definitely changing.
Oh wow. Thanks for sharing. I have a lot of military family members and I can attest to the integrity that runs deep. Thank her for her service from Rosie the next time you talk to her.
I so identify with your concerns. I will pray for your daughter's safety while she serves during this regime. Rosie's post was heartening because there are signs that the military is very carefully resisting when they are able.
If the incompetent Dems had an unelected billionaire calling the shots the right wing would tear a hole in space time continuum with ballistic fury. We gotta do that!
I hope you’re right! Tides do seem to be turning but we don’t have much time before his consolidation of power reaches critical mass. So I’ll be out on April 5, I’m sending money to Democracy Forward, I’m writing letters to AGs and my congressional folks, and I’m boycotting the billionaires. March on!
We’re very rural and have some age-related challenges to travel but we’re going to our first resistance gathering in a nearby town on the 5th! We’re excited to put our feet in a place to support our voice!
Given our location (deep in militia territory) we keep our political opinions held close (hence not using my name here) as there has been increased intimidation activity to some from the boys who like to play-act with guns so we keep our resistance activities online.
I’ve told my wife repeatedly that Trump maybe the best thing that could have happened to us as we are rising together to build towards change that may not have happened any other way - the opposite side of that is the damage he and his pack of incompetent shoe shine boys have visited upon us tears at our hearts and when this is over, we want to be active even with our modest means in helping repair it and support any and all valid efforts to heal the pain experienced by those effected.
I think in the near future the gop and maga are going to have ample opportunity to reflect on the immortal words of Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor: “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve”.
Keep up the good fight - you are doing critical work informing and uniting we who struggle to participate in the resistance!
So very well written. I agree relative to your thoughts about it taking something of the gravity of the Trvmp situation to prompt us back into working together.
scramsay, I really do believe that - I think often to how this would have gone if someone competent and savvy would have been elected and using just the right amount of patience and application with subtle manipulation that we’d have found ourselves shackled to an authoritarian regime with all the loopholes closed and their base primed to cheer them on in unassailable mob strength and never truly see it coming.
The surprising thing about this comedy of errors is how after so long a time of crafting this plot, the Project 2025 authors willingly overplayed their hand so hard and so suddenly.
The only thing I can think of is that the gop has spent so much time operating so deeply in their echo chamber that they’ve lost complete touch with the idea there’s folk who don’t automatically buy their bullshit w/o question and have the temerity to hold them to account for the surreal version of reality they espouse.
What reinforces it for me is watching the scripted responses they all reply with and will not deviate from no matter how specific the questioning which requires a different answer - It’s the same whether it’s a town hall, a news interview or Senate hearing - it never varies.
It’s almost like watching some low-rent party wizard who just can’t understand how their “hypnotizing” spell isn’t working so they cast it again and again and again all the while getting so frustrated they have to flee back inside that echo chamber to get the safe response they’re looking for - once there, they then gabble on about how it’s their intended victim’s fault.
If it wasn’t so f*cking damaging and causing so much pain and suffering, it’d be very entertaining to study.
I truly believe it will be their downfall - we just have to scramble to survive long enough so as to pick up the pieces and rebuild it better. 😀
You raise an important point that I think we need to be reminded of periodically:
We're living in dark times, but if/when we get through it, there could be a silver lining waiting for us when the storm clouds finally part - and they will.
What a great read to start my day. I am one of the 3.5% and exhorting my circle of influence to hit the streets with me.
I was feeling annoyed with the hestitance and inaction, but in the last week, i can feel seething anger building. My total introvert spouse, who wouldnt raise his voice if a truck was bearing down on me, will join ne at our state capitol on April 5.
Don’t sit out making history!
Also helps immensely that Rachael Maddow is amping coverage of protests on MSNBC.
Our small city’s protest against our Congressman Blake Moore - the DOGE Committee co-chair (co-conspirator) is refusing to hold a town but snuck into town for a private high $ fundraiser got 20 seconds. We feel seen and more importantly HEARD.
Same in my state. The protests have taken over the media narrative. It was priceless to have the protestors outside the actual fund raising dinner that Thom Tillis held. (He will not have a town hall so we have had empty chair town halls with a cardboard cutout). Keep up the good work.
Speaking of Rachel Maddow….when I watch her show on YouTube, about half way, I suddenly have a young Chinese? girl talking and coloring a picture. Can’t finish Maddow! Does anyone else have this issue? What can be done???
Careful reposting false narratives and misinformation. We have to be careful to be truth tellers. (The TIKTOK attachment of the National Guard standing down from 2020). Otherwise, I think your reporting and humor are spot on.
Thanks for the heads up. I forgot to add the explanation. It’s fixed now. You’re right, truth telling is super important these days. Appreciate your help.
Oh my gosh! I needed this. Thank you! I’ll be protesting in Denver! I hope all 34,000 of the folks who attended Bernie’s Oligarchy tour will show up with ALL their friends! ✊🏼💜 Let’s DO this! 😃
Awesome post! Thanks for giving me hope!
My pleasure. Thanks for reading.
Ther taking the food off people's plates. Wake up or starve. If we can just tear this right wing parasite off our back and drop kick it into the abyss, we might just have a future .
Maybe we can send him and his acolytes to El Salvador...
I can’t think why not.
🙂
I was thinking Guantanamo, but I like your idea better.
Indeed -Awesome and so deserving of several coffees.
Thank you Pam!!
3 coffees sent for your excellent post!
So glad to see some good news, in all the bad. 3.5% feels possible. thank you for giving me hope.
It does, doesn’t it?
Totally doable - I think we’re already over that now - we’ve def got that many folks in CO in The Revolution.
D will try to nip this in the bud before May ends with Martial Law or something..
Yep. And that will mobilize more people.

Not just possible - inevitable.

Emphasis on very carefully. I have other family who remind her to be careful too.

So good to hear about your daughter!

Way to go!
Rise! Resist! ✊✊✊
Don't let up folks, it's working:
Boycott TE卐LA! Boycott Swastikar!
Short TE卐LA! Short Swastikar!
Boycott 卐tarlink!
Boycott 卐/Twitter!
THIS is awesome.
Good work!
It’s called DEI (Dumbass Examples of Incompetence). Great artwork 😀
Oh yes, the artwork, thanks for reminding me. I meant to comment on that:
Why do they all look like "Pennywise"?

Our house is 100% onboard!
We’re very rural and have some age-related challenges to travel but we’re going to our first resistance gathering in a nearby town on the 5th! We’re excited to put our feet in a place to support our voice!

Thank you! 😃
Beautifully said. I love that you’re putting boots on the ground. The time has come to waken the giant.
Bless you for sharing this information.i am elderly but have gotten some ideas on how to be useful on April 5. Keep sharing the hope.
You go girl! Every little bit!
So very well written. I agree relative to your thoughts about it taking something of the gravity of the Trvmp situation to prompt us back into working together.
You make a good point, Scratchbilt!maybe things did have to get this bad for us to really wake up. Corraggio!!

Well I guess I can say in this situation, thank God for hubris!
Kind of funny to think that it’s going to be the thing that chokes them isn’t it? 😃
The VP is savvier & smarter but oddly he doesn't quite have this 'I'll die for him' connection that D has with the base.
But...is he really??? On paper hi is perhaps. But he is so emotionally driven
So weak
Agree 100%
I don’t think he has the legs to carry the burden of trump’s base and keep it on the path it’s on!
So absolutely and completely true. We really "DOGEd" a bullet with this crew of Keystone Kops.
You raise an important point that I think we need to be reminded of periodically:
We're living in dark times, but if/when we get through it, there could be a silver lining waiting for us when the storm clouds finally part - and they will.
I will be resisting until this is over.
Me too. Next stop Saturday at a Tesla Takedown.
It is exciting to watch and encouraging to learn that a critical mass, which is above politics is coming to the fore...
3.5% lets get it done.
What a great read to start my day. I am one of the 3.5% and exhorting my circle of influence to hit the streets with me.

GET LOUD!
Same in my state. The protests have taken over the media narrative. It was priceless to have the protestors outside the actual fund raising dinner that Thom Tillis held. (He will not have a town hall so we have had empty chair town halls with a cardboard cutout). Keep up the good work.
I'm surprised with Tillis....I thought he was becoming 'a fly in the ointment' to D.....guess not??
Nope, talks out of both sides of his mouth. Both of our senators, he and Ted Budd, are total poop.
Speaking of Rachel Maddow….when I watch her show on YouTube, about half way, I suddenly have a young Chinese? girl talking and coloring a picture. Can’t finish Maddow! Does anyone else have this issue? What can be done???
Excellent post. I sent it over to Bluesky
Thank you! I appreciate your support. 🩵

True, but if it happened then, it can happen now.
Reading this post has just made my day 👍
I’m so glad. :)
Recovering from hip replacement surgery and cheerin y’all on
Good luck with that! Hope you’re up and kicking in no time. As my mom used to say, aging ain’t for wimps! =)
OMG! Don't get me started! :D
Oh my gosh! I needed this. Thank you! I’ll be protesting in Denver! I hope all 34,000 of the folks who attended Bernie’s Oligarchy tour will show up with ALL their friends! ✊🏼💜 Let’s DO this! 😃
I do too! Glad you’ll be there!
Marching on April 5 and bringing friends 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yay! Have a good time!
