Dems must send a simple message. To provide15 million American citizens with health insurance that republicans stole from you and gave it to their friends and billionaires. You want healthcare? turn left, want no healthcare, turn right. It should be that simple. Need to enlighten folks that when other people get sick it impacts us all, at times in devastating ways as (most of us) remember. Ask your MAGA neighbor (as long as they’re not pointing an AR-15 at you) why they want 15 million American citizens to suffer without health care and don’t fall for that line of bullshit that undocumented immigrant are being provided same.
Trump will use shutdown to fire any known Democratic voter working in government. The great purge and jobs will be filled by MAGA loyalists. Trump is already an unrestrained dictator, remember he has declared Democrats and minorities a threat to the US, "the enemy within"
We Democrats, should see this shutdown was orchestrated by Trump to make us look like the bad guys. Democrats offered a fix. Republicans refused because Trump wanted a shutdown. Period.
If anyone you know blames this shutdown on Democratss, make sure you correct them: Republicans currently hold ALL three branches of government. They are required to work with the minority to get legislation passed. But they aren't interested, so this is 100% on them. Sadly, MAGA is dumb enough to believe them... 🤦♀️
They will stay dumb, they'd still vote for Trump. The diehard MAGA base is just too ignorant to be swayed by reality...
That's why you will trigger them if you wear these kinds of shirts 👇
Let's see if Americans are smart enough to recognize what has happened here. This shutdown is lose-lose for the American people. It will hurt MAGAs more than it hurts anyone else. Republicans use scare tactics by pushing FALSE information because they know MAGA supporters will fall for lies.
By the way, the shutdown hasn’t affected the construction of Trump’s grotesquely gold , unnecessary Ballroom!
Perhaps it's time to think the unthinkable... US Military overthrow of Trump's Fascist Coup. They take an oath to protect the US Constitution not a demented dictator.
I didn't see a whole lot of happy faces at the Trump Fuehrer's General's meeting.
Instead of sending military to US cities, send to WH and Mar A Lago, arrest Trump and charge him with High Treason and Crimes Against Humanity.
His fascist " allies" would collapse and beg for mercy.
3 months after purge, have another general election monitored by International oversight.
Agreed, it's past time for an American Bastille Day. No one is acceptable at this point, not trump,Vance or Mike Johnson. All of them need to be gone and put on trial for their crimes.
All Republicans need to be held accountable,as do members of the Supreme Court. America may need military rule until government reform can bring about the actual rights for all.
I agree! Nothing will stop these guys except a coup. Democrats need to subtly engage a well funded attack on the White House and the Pentagon and Congress. Charge all Republicans in power with treason.
The entire Cabinet and Homan.
Detain them in one of those immigration camps!
I’m done playing by the rules. They don’t have any neither should we!
It is about time that the Democrats showed some spine, yet the party needs a house cleaning and the old guard needs to retire, we sorely need new fighting blood, that isn't afraid to call out the liars, grifters, thieves and perverts.
The days of "my friends across the aisle" is long gone, if it ever existed (for the sake of the people, it did exist for the sake of the power class.
A dime for the poor, and a dollar for the rich, That was DC politics, time to end it and admit what Bernie has been saying that this is a class war. Wasn't itWarren Buffet who said "the class war is real and my class has won it"?
Buffet was right. They won a couple of decades ago. Trump and his Project 2025 allies are now consolidating their victory. They still need a credible election to legitimize their oligarchy.
I don't think that they are concerned at all legitimacy. Power is all the legitimacy needed, and they have demonstrated beyond anything else "ever seen before" that they have power, and virtually unbridled power.
Do you really think that Trump and his cult actually care what people think?
Democrats too, ever conscious of public opinion and legitimacy, they project those weaknesses onto the enemy.
The minor judicial victories, are that minor, two steps forward, one step back, and it suits their purpose whether or not to abide judicial decisions, if not overturned at the appellate level, they are overturned by SCOTUS, which has consistently ruled in Trump's favor, and the two cases they didn't, Trump has ignored the rulings and pressed on.
Yet, people , or at least some people, don't have a clue, or are like a child afraid of the boogeyman, pulls the cover over their head, because if they can't see, then they won't be seen.
They say we should go after the pillars that support the tRump. The Justices, the Republicans, the Cabinet members and the Administration from Hell. Don't give them any peace! Shame them! Call them out everywhere they go. Plan Sit-ins near their offices! Call for their impeachment! Call for their arrest!
We all know they are preparing to cheat their way through another election and we can't vote out a Supreme Court Justice. Most Americans aren't even aware that we have lost our democracy and we are doing nothing to support the resistance. Even those of us who are aware that our children and grandchildren will not grow up without the civil rights we had are not making any real sacrifices.
I really want you all to prove we wrong. Only a few are really supporting the resistance. Mostly older people who already fought for our democracy and know that the US is regressing towards life without our civil rights. Don't let this happen. America Speak Up! Stand Up and Do Something! What the fuck are you waiting for? Some other country to start dropping bombs on us like we did to end the evil Dick Traitor in Germany.
The tRump has begun the process of Genocide in the USA. We have already lost our democracy! Americans of every color are dieing, our Children too, without the emergency, medical and care services the tRump's Big Brutal Bill stoled from us. More cuts are coming. His ICE henchmen are picking up people of every color, citizens too. The tRump is already threatening to incarcerate every one who opposes him. Führer tRump has plans to send more of his ICE goons into more of our neighborhoods and build concentration camps in every state.
Do you MAGAts really prefer that your tax money goes to funding war and ICE instead of caring for your American friends and family?
If by chance there are any MAGA supporters out there who may be feeling a touch of guilt over the loss, pain and suffering endured by people hurt by the tRump regime - you are not alone.
If you are a Republican and are struggling with the decisions of the current administration - you are not alone.
If you are a friend or family member of a die hard Republican MAGA supporter - you are not alone.
There's hope and support on LeavingMAGA.org. LeavingMAGA is on Substack too.
Watch this intense yet optimistic "Leaving MAGA" interview with its founder, Rich Logis on Substack
Please spread the word about these ongoing Anti-tRump & Fight the Oligarchs Resistance efforts. Here are some e-posters to screenshot and share…
Do us a favor and write down every thing you think you are doing to bring down the evil demon in the White House. And then compare it to the list linked below. Then tell us here on Substack what you were willing to sacrifice and how that has worked for you and your family.
Most of you have already stopped reading and most will never touch the link to open the list. And many of those that open the list will never share the list or talk about it.
I never thought I would be grateful that I will never have grandchildren but I am. My blood line will end with my children. I fight for yours. But I am starting to wonder if their own families won't fight for them maybe they are not worth fighting for. Sorry but my fire is starting to flicker.
It is a long interview, Everybody's Mamá, but the last few words that Rick says are well worth listening to. Leaving MAGA and any other similar reconciliation initiative could be the soft power that avoids Civil War in America. Much like lifting the veil off a duped population and allowing it to heal and return to normal. What is happening at the moment is anything but normal. But there is a way out, and it lies in the higher qualities of human nature. The greatest act of love is forgiveness.
Thank you Beverley for using your words to support the Anti-tRump / Fight the Oligarchs Resistance. You should be a Substack writers. You beautiful words reminded me of this Senator Sanders video about the importance of listening and using your words (written or spoken) to create changes. I really want to believe that most tRump supporters are good they are just desperate for better days and they believe his lies.
I hope someone does find a way to neutralize them and the entire administration from hell. But in the meantime let them feel shame. They deserve that at least.
I seriously doubt that the US military will carry out a coup to remove the Republican President from office. The tradition of civilian management/control of the military dates from the Constitution and is a long standing practice. No matter how revolting the actions of Trump and company, we cannot depend on the military to take action. I hope the military has the good sense to stand aside if the Prez illegally declares martial law.
I'd like that, too. Could there be a consensus from the military? I'd hope so but you know that oldx saying, if your going against "the king", you'd better be sure.
trump fancies himself an old style Fascist. History always repeats. Maybe a reinactment of those grainy black and white images of Il Duce and his whore's final fate. Not an idea I offer lightly or without much consideration but the nation's safety is far more important than one pathetic con man's ego.
I keep telling people to remember he means what he says, but then I refuse to hear that I am "the enemy within".
We have a race for governor next year, and I see the trolls on social media going after our current AG who is an absolute fighter, and hopefully the next governor.
And then I read a substack post from months ago, very seriously discussing practical ways to leave the country.
It's time to take him very seriously. Despite his fear of falling down stairs.
Thomas Frank in his great book 'What's the Matter with Kansas?' marveled at the way Republican voters there inexplicably and continuously voted against their own best interests. Today we have the master liar-conman on earth slipping them the poison which they sup with glee. They just refuse to reject the hatred which is required in service to their vile master.
It's hard to understand, these pathetic maga folk. They have the minds of children who, out of fear and the need to feel loved, have formed an abnormal attachment to their sadistic, psychotic 'daddy figure' nut-job. To the magas, a word of wisdom, "Daddy ain't interested in your problems children, get out of the house while you still can....before he burns it all down with you in it.
Since there are no human beings left in charge, we now have reptiles running the place, I am waiting on the Grim Reaper to gather those who need to leave.
My thought exactly, this shutdown is in the Republicans, House, Senate, and White House! Sad that Congress republicans are harming the citizens by taking healthcare and needed services, to line the pockets of the rich. As a point of interest, Congress is still being paid while 17 million Americans are losing healthcare and the rest of the citizens are seeing exorbitant increases in their premiums and copays from the insurance companies. They will also be making billions to pay their CEO’s that “Golden Parachute” that’s been around for decades!
For those that don’t know, it’s a bonus for the CEO’s for productivity! This regime has the billionaires and big companies covered!!!
So we all know that maga are nothing but morons. I live with 2 of them. One said it's a Schumer shut down, and I corrected her. The house has to send a cr or budget the senate then they negotiate to find a compromise. But Maga Mike and the Grindr apocalypse left town last week weren't even in town to pass a bill. The dems were all there. She said oh that's fake news. I replied no the only fake news is coming from Fox and all the liars on the right. I showed her a cspan video of the house floor on Tuesday guess what all the Dems where there bit no Republicans in sight. The Republicans don't want to be part of the government si vote Blue people and stop letting this government give the wealthy elite like Traitor Trump tax breaks!
To that you can add benefits that retirees and vets and those who have chronic illnesses have paid for through their taxes. It's being stolen and given to billionaires. Do any of them need tax breaks?
Call (202) 224-3121 NOW and tell your Senators to Save the Affordable (Obama) Care Act and Medicaid.
The Republicans have forced the government to shut down because they refuse to negotiate with the Democrats who are trying to save our Medical Services.
We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t. If the Government doesn't reopen federal workers and potentially the citizens they serve will face intense hardship. But if the Government reopens millions of Americans will lose their medical services.
Hardships from the shutdown should be recoverable with time. But people will die without their medications or medical care. Think about the children, many who lead happy productive lives because of their life saving medications. Without our insurance, our life expectancy will decrease significantly.
Call your Democratic representatives now and tell them that we support them! Tell them to do whatever they have to do to save our Medical Services!
Call your Republican representatives and tell them to stop kissing their Führer's ass. Demand they restore our Medical Services immediately!
Support the Democrats on this issue. Shame on Democratic Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine supporting the Republicans who refuse to protect our democracy and our human services. Call them and demand they protect our insurance.
Watch America's Professor, Robert Reich for more information:
Yes, call and write your representatives. Also let your religious leaders know that you expect them to speak out on Trump's anti-Life policies. Pope Leo already condemned them.
None of them pay taxes so no they don't need a tax break. They are greedy bastards that are reliving the revolutions of the past where the rich got richer and the people eventually rise up and fight back. Thing The Bastile, American revolutionary war, civil war.
If you can think of a good phrase for a sign, I'm interested! Mine has become faded and bent so I am making a new one for October 18 and I want a message that will say something to make Americans think. I'm open to all suggestions!
We have a bumper sticker, not radical, but gets the point across: "Another embarrassed ex-Republican." We've never been Republican but we get a lot of people stopping to take a photo of it. I like to think that it gets others to stop and think without anyone wanting to shoot us!
Mike Hammer’s statement, “You want healthcare? Turn left / Want no healthcare? Turn right” looks like a ready-made sign to me … or a pair of contrasting signs for two No Kings protesters to present side by side.
Thanks, Paul! I am looking forward to October 18. I hope there are millions upon millions out there standing up for our country and making our voices heard!
My sign is “Weep First, Then Rise”: Short for “I weep first for all who suffer injustice; then I rise to join them in confronting that injustice!” - my explanation of my sign.
The Republicans are blaming our current political quagmire on Chuck Schumer and the Democrats. Reality check, this whole mess is the result of Trump's cascade of endless lies. Mr. Trump ran on his promise not to touch our healthcare system. With the assistance of speaker Johnson, who has his head buried so far up Trump's hind quarters when the orange guy yawns, Johnson can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Trump's Bullshit Bastard Bill, which he seems to be so proud of, is in essence the worst piece of legislation to come out of our political arena in recent memory. I'm sure a bunch of spineless dweebs like Miller and Vought filled Trump's vacuous head with their opinions on how that bill was to be written. What Chuck is doing, by looking out for the people in this country that Trump has turned his back on, is an honorable endeavor. Trump is the fool who forced Mr. Schumer's hand. If passed, the travesty our people will be forced to contend with will mimic an economic disaster of unheard of proportions. The Democrats have had their hands tied because of the spineless morons in both the house and the senate who follow Trump like a dog that's had its spirit broken. If the Republicans would reiterate their promise to leave our healthcare system as is, the shut down would be short lived. It's all up to the Republicans, who no one in their right mind can trust. This is Trump's shut down!!! Chuck is simply looking out for the well being of the American people.
Indivisible.org' founder Ezra Levin is calling for urgent actions (ahead of the October 18 No Kings Day protests) to save our Medical Services! Please read the attached article below and join us.
“Dems are showing a little backbone. Our job is to stiffen it. Our goal is not a shutdown -- it’s building an opposition party that uses its leverage to reduce human harm and slow the march toward authoritarianism. Whether Republicans drive us into a shutdown or not, our success depends on Democrats holding strong rather than simply surrendering again.
Republicans will not change course if they think they can just roll over Dems again. And Dems will not stay strong unless they feel like they have the support to do so. This is a week when your calls, your visits to congressional offices, and your level of vocal support really matter.” - Ezra Levin
"Accustomed to trample on the rights of those around you, you have lost the genius of your own independence, and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises." -- Lincoln
It's not even so much a matter of "left" or "right" as it is one of honestly or dishonestly, wisdom or folly, kindness or cruelty, or "decency" as opposed to the words forever paired with Joe McCarthy, of "no decency"?
If we were casting a movie. who would the "bad guys" be?
The orange menace to mankind, him and his lapdogs of corruption, they do not want to say bye-bye to those shoved through the door and down the American peoples throats, Trumps so called beautiful bill, aka tax cuts, for Trump and his other billionaire buddies, but I do not hold out a lot of hope with, OMB director, Russel Vought, and author of Project 2025 in charge of that department, I see were this is heading and none of it's good, still, we must remain somehow optimistic and all do what we can do and that is, "make good trouble" in any and all ways possible against Trumps authoritarian takeover
Note the risk of an even simpler message: despite shutting down the government (and putting the American people at risk), premiums are spiking & markets are breaking down - because Democrats are prioritizing partisan conflict rather than making the *right* choice.
> = |
(There may not happen to be a simply binary choice about healthcare; some state governors didn't extend Medicaid despite subsidy, some have - and are expecting federal subsidy, and none have "skin in the game" when it comes to things like the federal marketplace and further national reform. No one is under any illusion: 73 repeal attempts failed; healthcare is job security - even for politicians.)
Don't THOSE MAGAs who have insurance remember how much documentation they had to present to sign up for insurance?!?! They didn't just call an insurance company and say, "give me insurance." !
Dems don't need to shut down the govt to send this message. All they have to do is point out that that is what you get when you have a Republican majority in Congress. Besides, many of the 15 million recipients affected by the cuts live in red states, where gerrymandering lends them ineffective. Schumer is posturing, and some Dems are already quiting out of fear of a major battle. It is not a battle we can avoid, because our fundamental rights are at stake.
The Republicans are claiming foul and insisting the shut down is all Schumer's fault. Since the beginning of this current administration the Democrats have had their hands tied with respect to anything happening in our government. What is about to happen to our healthcare system is an abomination. The ability to finally have the power to engage the President and his children must not be wasted. The people's ability to access proper healthcare is in jeopardy, and this can not be allowed to happen. It's time to put our political foot down and make a stand. Toby Keith's hit song, "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)," contains the line, "we'll put a boot in your ass—it's the American way." Hold on Mr. Trump I'll get the K-Y.
Call (202) 224-3121 NOW and tell your Senators to Save the Affordable (Obama) Care Act and Medicaid.

Watch America's Professor, Robert Reich for more information:
Honestly, they can claim what they like. The polls, even the ones rum by conservatives, are all showing that the republicans are going to own this shut down according to the vast majority of Americans. No amount of crying foul will change that for anyone except whatever true believers Trump has left, and even those numbers are in decline.
So what? Millions of Americans -- thanks to Doge -- are hurting as a result. And then came the "big ugly bill."
Democrats SHOULD have held steady and been ready and incessantly replayed Trump's own words about the shutdown in 2013 -- which he used to attack Obama's lack of leadership. Over and over and over again. Let them try to blame Schumer.
I don't disagree with what should've been done the first time, but to blame Schumer's past cowardice for the republicans' behavior, which is what you did in your original comment, is a bit naive. They would've blamed the Democratic Party either way. No matter what the party did earlier or how they messaged it or even how they're messaging this shut down wouldn't matter on that front. The republicans would've blamed them and gotten away with it in many respects because maga voters don't consume media that tells them any semblance of the truth. Overall I'm glad that even if it's late, the party is beginning to see that they can't nice their way out of bad Republican behavior. No matter what the party does, they'll get the blame, so they may as well just do the right thing.
Ouch! That is true and it hurts. The Republicans wanted to shut down the government, and they even fired their speaker of the House. Then Dems fell for Mike Johnson, a real snake, and kept the govt open. Now they, not the Republican will bear the onus. A govt shutdown affects every voter, hence, if you inflict it upon them it must be over an issue that affects all, not just some of them.
Republicans have had their hands tied during the first two years of Clinton and Obama and still managed to get their way. We need more progressive Democrats who are the ones willing to publicly criticize the current administration instead of the majority of centrist Democrats who still believe being bi-partisan will get results for their constituents.
Russell Vought is much more than a sycophant. Russell Vought is the brains behind Trump. Trump is too lazy and ill disciplined to effect the dismantling of democracy so quickly. It is Vought who has achieved the destruction of the institutions which protect us and enable progress. Trump is merely Vought’s mouthpiece who enables a well crafted agenda not of his making.
Russell Vought is an evil, evil small-minded man bent on not just reducing the size of our government, but killing it completely. The republiKKKans want a "pure" white male government. They have somehow convinced themselves that "white = supreme". Nothing could be further from the truth! I've been white all my life and I can tell you that white people who think they're supreme could not be more wrong!
Finally! Someone calling out the real people behind all this hate. Dumpy doesn’t even know what’s happening. They just whisper sweet things into his (undamaged) ear and then make all the calls, decisions and actions, straight from Project 2025. People should stop saying Dumpy’s name and start blaming the real people who are destroying our country. Start screaming “Vought!! Miller!! Bondi!! 🦊 news
Trump is simply a stooge for a force bent on destroying democracy. It's the money, always has been. Voters fell asleep long ago, lulled into a complacency of acceptance to being content with entertainment as their source of information. The dangers we face now are enormous and are of our own making. Corporate mass media only compounds the situation with its inane broadcasting. Will our freedoms survive this attack? No one can be certain, but we must not give up. Thank you.
tRumpf, because of his dementia and preoccupation for redecorating and adding a ballroom onto the White House, is not fully in charge or in the know on many things. He’s just the ranting Madhatter mouthpiece. Miller, Vought, and Johnson are running the show.
There are absolutely no brains at work anywhere near our government. None. Either they are sitting on their hands or they have their hands in their pants. Either way no cerebral brain function. Only reptilian brain stem reactivity.
Thank you, Anthony. The good will of our friends around the globe give us additional energy to get out there and let the fat orange POS know we will keep resisting, we will keep fighting until he is gone from the White House. Give a shout out on October 18 wherever you are - we'll hear you! Thanks again!
Sharing kindness is another great way to support the the Anti-tRump / Fight the Oligarchs Resistance!
What the world needs now is love, sweet love. It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love, No not just for some but for everyone.
Lord, we don't need another mountain, there are mountains and hillsides enough to climb.
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross, enough to last till the end of time.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love. It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love. No, not just for some but for everyone.
Lord, we don't need another Meadow, there are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow.
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine.
Oh listen, lord, if you want to know.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love. It's the only thing that there's just too little of.
What the world needs now is love, sweet love. No, not just for some but for everyone.
No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone.

SIMPLE WAYS TO SUPPORT THE ANTI-TRUMP / FIGHT THE OLIGARCHS RESISTANCE EVERYDAY
No Kings Kick Off - organizers are building the movement. Find out how to join them! Invite everyone!
No Kings, Indivisible’s founder, Rzra Levin has more great ways to help support the Anti-tRump / Fight the Oligarchs Resistance and oh “By the way, please plan on demonstrating October 18 in the second and largest No Kings Day protests across the nation. Information (and locations) can be found here - (https://www.nokings.org/).” ~America's Professor, Robert Reich.
If you can't find an event near you start one. In the USA all we need to do is show up - we do not need permission to protest in common public places like streets, sidewalks and parks - as long as our protesters do not obstruct traffic or block access to the businesses/buildings in the surrounding areas. If you need help planning a bigger event visit: NoKings.org/Trainings for free support, training and a tool kit to get you started. We will not be the ones breaking the laws or disregarding the our Constitution - Be Loud but Stay Peaceful!
Kathleen, I have asked on this feed, if anyone can think of a really good statement for a sign, I am open to suggestions. My old sign is faded and bent so I wanted to make a new one for October 18. I'd love some input for what I can write on my sign.
Effective civil disobedience and successful activism require some degree of inconvenience and sacrifice. Strikes and Blackout are the most effective way to initiate change but they come with hardship and sacrifice. People could lose jobs and businesses may close.
But historically we have sacrificed far more. At this point, no one is asking people to walk miles to work every day for a year, endure personal violence or sacrifice their own lives like they did during the first Civil Rights Movement.
Our resistance efforts now are minor in comparison. The longer we wait to resist the more intense our sacrifices become. Above all resistance only works if we stand together. Mature adults are the ones building and leading this New Civil Rights Movement, the ones with knowledge of our history, the ones that fought for equality and remember what it was like before the movement. It seems like young Americans will need to directly feel the pain of the tRump's destructive cuts and illegal executive orders. This tRump nightmare could have been over already if we had united when he first revealed his authoritarian plans. Instead most Americans are sitting back watching our democracy collapse around us. So many more are clueless about the immense evil the tRump has unleashed in our country.
Unfortunately, people in this country don't want to be temporarily inconvenienced in any way and they definitely don't want to make the simplest of sacrifices like stop unnecessary shopping, avoiding traveling, limiting their entertainment!
Right now we have no where near the numbers of people consistently resisting that we need to save our democracy. The tRump is winning the war against our democracy and has begun the initial stages of genocide in America.
We have to decide if it is better to sacrifice some jobs or a few small businesses or do we allow the tRump to privatizing public education, health care and insurance, making it available to only the wealthy. On top of your mortgage, transportation, utilities, cell phone services and everyday essentials can you afford to pay private school tuition for twelve years and then college, medical expenses without insurance, nursing homes for your parents or grandparents? The tRump wants to privatize health insurance too. Say good-by to insurance benefits from work. Insurance is expected to double in price for everyone. Can you afford all of that? If not what will you have to live without?
The tRump has no plan to increase your wages. Do we continue to let the tRump regime, steal our Medical services, medications, food services for our veterans, disabled, children and the elderly. If we don’t resist more people will loose their jobs, homes, medical care, freedom and many more people will die from neglect while the tRump gives much more of our money to his billionaire oligarch friends?
Do we prefer to fight for our democracy or allow the tRump to continue to strip FEMA funds for communities that mother nature destroys, accurate weather alerts and food safety inspections? He has already ended science and medical research for climate change, cancer, vaccines, Alzheimer's and much more.
Would you prefer to have low wages forever, no civil rights, no truthful media, no right to choose what movies, TV shows or music we watch or listen to?
We need to bring down the true leaders of this country, the greedy billionaire oligarchs that fund the campaign of politicians that support the causes that make them richer. The only thing they care about is money. We need to hit them where it hurts - their bank accounts.
In order to do that and when possible we must stop giving them our money. We need to stop buying their products and using their services. We need to stop spending money unnecessarily. We need to make the oligarchs start paying the same taxes we do and they need to start paying their employees fair wages.
We need to support small businesses instead. Imagine if everyone stopped supporting the oligarchs owned national chain businesses and started shopping locally owned small businesses and restaurants instead. That's how we build our local economy.

SIMPLE WAYS TO SUPPORT THE ANTI-TRUMP / FIGHT THE OLIGARCHS RESISTANCE EVERYDAY
Trump has made sure that construction of his new White House ballroom won’t be affected. But the people that run the country, well they are expendable. This is outrageous and there is no one to blame but the republicans. They have the presidency, the House and the Senate.
Our form of government has created this mess we are in today. Democracy has its drawbacks. One is, even an idiot can become president if enough of the wealthier people allow it to happen.
Keith, the fact that that orange turd is more concerned about his stupid ballroom instead of the health care of millions of Americans makes me sick to my stomach! I have been taught not to hate; however, I can loathe and despise! I loathe and despise that man!!!
The fact that the ballroom is a higher priority than the non-wealthy population of the United States shows that Trump is both a pathetic misanthrope and a very sick person.
I blame Führer tRump for all hell on earth. My hate for Führer tRump and his administration from hell grows every second. I can't believe that there is no one in this country who has the power and the balls to slap a pair of handcuffs on this true homegrown, demented, treasonous criminal terror! I hope that the only way to end his reign DOESN'T include another country dropping bombs on us, like we did to end the Dick Traitor in Germany!
If you would like to earn more money, have affordable housing, education, medical, child and elder care watch Senator Sanders YouTube videos or check out BernieSanders.com and join the movement.
Thanks for these great resources, Everybody's Mama! Peaceful protests, General Strikes and boycotts. We must never let up! NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER!
The Un-United USA has lost it's democracy. We are now under authoritarian rule and most Americans are doing nothing to support the resistance. They seem to be waiting for some other country to start dropping bombs on us like we did to end the evil Dick Traitor in Germany. Führer tRump is spreading hate around the world. He has launched the initial stages of genocide. He has or is -
Threatening our right to free speech and protest.
Annihilating our judicial system and blatantly disregarding direct court orders.
Threatening judges and has begun arresting them and other government officials.
Releasing white verified criminals like, the January 6th insurrectionists and now there is talk about pardoning the cop that killed George Floyd.
He is deporting, detaining and disappearing innocent mothers and children, abducting students and kidnapping men of color without due process including legal green card holders and US citizens - babies!
Has plans to build concentration like camps on military bases on American soil.
Tanking our economy and the world's while we pay multi-millions for his weekly golf vacations and private entertainment.
Turning our allies into enemies and visa versa.
Dismantling our government.
Eliminating our civil liberties.
Discrediting our news outlets or silencing them.
Defunding medical, child and elder care.
Privatizing insurance so only the rich can afford it.
Eliminating our vaccines - children will die without.
Abolishing and defunding our educational system and threatening our universities.
Erasing our history and banning our books.
Eliminating our science and medical research programs.
Eviscerating our weather and climate research. Say good-by to accurate national weather alerts and FEMA disaster relief!
Please feel free to research and verify this information while you still can!
The only hope we have is ourselves. We the People need to peacefully reunite to overthrow the administration from hell! Protest to demand change and stop the madness. Gather your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers and join the Resistance.
Enough is enough with the Democrats vs Republicans. They have all betrayed us. We need a new political party run by representatives of the people. Senator Sanders has a plan that benefit every American even the MAGAts. Watch his YouTube videos or check out BernieSanders.com. For the sake of our families, our care services and our savings accounts give the man a chance to lead us out of this madness.
The next No Kings Mass Protest is this Saturday, October 18, 2025. Check NoKings.org for an event near you. If there isn't one, plan one - check One Million Rising - on YouTube to learn how. New events are being added every day so check back often.

SIMPLE WAYS TO SUPPORT THE ANTI-TRUMP / FIGHT THE OLIGARCHS RESISTANCE EVERYDAY
Hello Keith... Keep an Eye on the Rise Of Larry Ellison... Larry Ellison is known for his InSatiable Appetites, and Vast Wealth... In some ways Ellison is like DJT... Larry Ellison is a Zionist, and is Close to Netanyahu...
Ugh . . . Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, gross! If ever I wanted two people(??) to DIE, IT IS TRUMP AND NETANYAHU!!! CART THEM BOTH OFF TO THE HAGUE, AND HANG THEM HIGH!!!
Huh? Not sure what you mean, but from the sound of it, I probably do not want to know!
I am just SO INFURIATED that he has had the gall to alter anything at all about the WHITE HOUSE! The bastard just moves in and takes over (EVERYWHERE!)!
Klare - It was just a (apparently bad attempt) joke in reference to how T moves when he thinks he is dancing. He will be the only one thinking that he is dancing in what is a waste of money ballroom. Sorry to all.
That's okay. You know what is SO PATHETIC about Trump? He is trying to get back at his parents for their neglect of him in his early life (most of us eventually give that up as a lost cause), so he's on a lifelong vendetta to do as many harmful, cruel things to others as he can, but all THAT does is bring HIM more of the same, ONLY from EVERYONE ELSE THE WHOLE WORLD OVER!!!
Professor Reich: i HOPE that those who are suffering most will SEE and RESPOND to those politicians who are working hard to protect them and their rights to healthcare, but many MAGA are so brainwashed, they will probably blame biden and become yet more vocal opponents to democracy as they pursue fascism to its bitter end. (that bitter end being the kidnap and murder of thousands of people who are not white, and anyone who dares speak out against the regime. i know i should be optimistic that MAGA will finally come to their senses, but i think we've been down this road a few times too many for us to believe they will vote against rethuglican encuments when the time comes. and "when the time comes" is so far in the future that the MAGA base will have forgotten what life was like before the orange rapist got into power.)
oh, and don't let me get distracted by this shutdown: RELEASE THE TRUMPSTEIN FILES NOW!!
Is there is a copy of them lying around somewhere? What if they suddenly appeared on websites everywhere? Time for a non violent guerrilla action. It's not leftist to oppose tyranny.
We all know the MAGAs are bad but there are gullible people who believe that both sides are bad. Critical thinking has said goodbye. The media have been contributing to this disaster. Without them Trump may not have won in 2016 and they continue to do him and the republicans favor. I have never felt so helpless as I do now.
Lots of studies and documentation out there that many red state areas that received specific project funding under various Biden initiatives voted overwhelmingly for tRumpf in 2024 and thought those projects were a result of the hard work of their members of Congress (that voted against them)
There’s a deeper irony here I pin on the republican MAGAs that I hope stays in the forefront of every American’s mind. They are running around yelling “Blame Democrats!” But in reality, for nine months they’ve done everything to bring disaster of epic proportions onto ALL Americans: Even if you don’t depend on Medicaid today, or SNAP, or the thousands of functions now gone in the federal government due to DOGE cuts and further Vought-inspired eliminations *before* the shutdown, you might check yourself with the question, “Am I sure I will *never* need any of those services?” Because that’s what they’ve done: Dismantle services we chose, over a long and incremental period, to pay for with our tax dollars. Maybe not individually, but in a collective democratic-process driven way.
There is no blame question. It is not “Schumer’s fault.” It is DJT, Stephen Miller, Russ Vought, and the clown-show of a cabinet (Bondi, really? Give me a break. Noem? Resident puppy assassin? Nahhh.) that have brought this upon themselves. Enjoy the spa of boiling contempt Americans have developed over your irresponsible, incompetent “governance.” Get Kegstand to bring the beer to your party.
I blame Führer tRump for all hell on earth. My hate for him and his administration from hell grows every second. I can't believe that there is no one in this country who has the power and the balls to slap a pair of handcuffs on this true homegrown, treasonous criminal terror! I don't understand why our current and former Governors, Generals, Judges, Physicians (capable of diagnosing his mental disorders) and our former Presidents along with the support of the people form a coalition and demand his arrest! Next week Generals meeting would be the perfect time. I hope that the only way to end his majesty's reign DOESN'T include another country dropping bombs on us, like we did to end the Dick Traitor in Germany!
Führer MacDonOld tRump has launched the initial stages of genocide in the USA. I'm fuckin’ mad as hell and doing my best to make sure you are all mad too! This is real folks, this is how the Holocaust began. The tRump is the number one threat to America and the world. He has destroyed our democracy, economy and he's stripping us of our civil rights including our right to protest, speak freely and for fair elections.
El Führer is deporting, detaining and disappearing law-abiding immigrants, migrant and essential workers. His evil henchmen are kidnapping innocent citizens including mothers, children, even babies. He is abducting students with visas, green card holders and arresting people of color without due process for the crime of not being white enough. This along with his tariffs are creating a economic crisis. Food and everyday necessities will increasingly becoming more expensive.
The Denomic Destructor of Democracy has declared war on Americans, unnecessarily sending his ICE goons and military into peaceful communities where our children play. These invasions cause fearful tourists and families to stay home. Therefore, weakening the local economy, workers lose jobs, local businesses close and entire communities are at risk of total collapse. It looks like the criminals the imbecile is keeping us safe from are the people that speak against his royal high-n-ass. He also plans to waste our tax money on wars that he is instagating, ICE and building concentration like camps to detain innocent brown people, people born in other countries and people who disagree with him. All the while he is protecting child sex traffickers, unleashing savage homegrown white criminals and pardoning con artists who swindle millions from the poor. Do you feel safer now?
El Führer tRump is supporting and promoting hate and destruction in Gaza, Ukraine, everywhere - even in our own damn country! He says we can't afford to send humanitarian aid to people in need but has plenty of money to give to his billionaire friends. He intentionally had food burned that was meant for children in Gaza. He's is spending our tax payer money on wars against democracy and supporting those who are openly committing crimes against humanity, like the genocide in Palestine.
The Limp Dick Traitor and his regime of evil Republicans passed his Big Brutal Bill which is eliminating the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid, Medicare, Science and Medical Research for vaccines, cancer, Alzheimer's and much more. He wants to privatize insurance so his billionaire buddies wouldn't have to provide insurance benefits to their workers anymore and the oligarchs could get richer by selling us privatized insurance instead. Economists are predicting that this could double the cost of health insurance. Essentially, ending medical services for every one except the very rich. The brutal bill will make it especially hard for women to get get the health care they choose and make it nearly impossible for the elderly to afford nursing care. Can you provide full-time home health care for your ailing parents?
The all powerful wizard of the Oval Office has discredited or silenced our news outlets. He is threatening to control our entertainment & streaming services by choosing what movies, TV shows and music we are allowed to watch and listen to. Do you want to pay for streaming services that only provide fake news and show the tRump recommends?
Poorly educated, Chancellor tRump is threatening our universities, erasing or rewriting history, choosing what subjects can and cannot be taught to students and banning our books. He wants to privatize schools too, which means there won't be free public education anymore. Millions of kids won't get any education because their families won't be able to afford it! Can you afford private school tuition for both your elementary and college kids?
Führer tRump is intentionally tanking our economy and the world's, while we tax-payers spend multi-millions for his weekly golf vacations and private entertainment. It seems to me that the leader of the MAGAts is intentionally trying to obliterate the entire lower class while trying to bring down the middle class. He has no need for the poor especially those who cannot work anymore. Is this the Demonic Dick Traitor's cruel version of extermination? Deprive the poor of food, housing, medical care until they die of neglect. Bringing the middle class down by privatizing education, child and elder care and medical insurance. He has no plan to increase wages. Most of us cannot afford all these extra expenses. None of us should be forced to eliminate any of these human essentials.
WHAT CAN WE DO?
We the American shoppers are the ones with the most power to end this evil nightmare and We Can Do It! All these greedy tyrants care about is money. Hit them in their bank accounts like we did to Tesla, Target and now Disney! We control the economy not the government and not the billionaire oligarchs. The fastest and most effective way to bring down the administration from hell is to BOYCOTT AND STOP SHOPPING. Save your money for housing, utilities, groceries and medical care and life sustaining essential only. Absolutely, no unnecessary spending until we restore our democracy and secure our civil rights. When necessary and if possible, shop small local businesses for food and essentials only.
Fuck the Republicans and the Democrats they all betrayed us. Support Progressives and remove the oligarchs from our government! If you want to earn more money and have access to affordable housing, education, medical, child and elder care - Senator Sanders has a plan that benefits every American and millions of others across the globe. Really listen to his ideals. Then abandon your political party and stand beside Bernie and his Progressives allies, our hope for the future!
Another reason for Dems not to cave on this is the Republican insistence on embedding many, many riders designed to oppress the LGBTQ+ community, from the extremely serious (curtailing adult trans people's access to medical care) to the petty but deeply hurtful (banning Pride flags).
Dems caving on this would send a clear message that they are willing to completely betray one of their most reliable constituencies, and that they are willing to treat the fascist oppression of entire demographics of not only immigrants but also American citizens as an acceptable bargaining chip in their dealings. Who would be next, should the Dems cave on us?
This must not be permitted. I am not optimistic - the Dems often cave on us - but I really don't want to watch my friends die due to government-mandated medical neglect, and that's where we will be if the Dems cave.
If you read this far, PLEASE ask yourself: "Am I OK with being complicit in the removal of queer and trans Americans from American Life?" If not, please call your congressional reps and senators and don't forget to specifically mention the need to protect LGBTQ+ people as well as (of course) immigrants.
*Fight the Oligarchs. They bought and own the evil tRump and his administration from hell.
The oligarchs already get rich hogging the money you earn but now they have found ways to get wealthier by ending our basic human services.
The tRump Administration is defunding and eviscerating our Medical, Science, Emergency, Weather, Care, Research Services and so much more. He is trying to remove protections and even sell our public forests. The Führer is doing nothing to prevent climate change. Say good-by to accurate National Weather Alerts and FEMA disaster relief. Look forward to more of our friends and family developing deadly illnesses and dementia because he's cutting funding for Alzheimer's, Cancer, Vaccines and Infectious Diseases Prevention and Research too.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has slashed funding for these Emergency, Medical and Research Services and more.
~ FEMA Disaster Relief
~ Weather Monitoring & Alerts
~ Emergency Preparedness Programs
~ National Institute of Health
~ Center for Disease Control and Prevention
~ U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
~ Women's Health Programs
~ Free Preventive Healthcare screenings
~ Children's Healthy Start Programs
~ Senior Medical Services
~Food Assistance Programs
~ Food Safety Inspection
~ Public Health Warnings
In an effort to make the billionaire oligarchs even richer the tRump wants to privatize all of our schools, insurance companies, add tolls to more highways, bridges, rest stops, veteran services and much more. Imagine no more free education and paying tolls every time we need to go somewhere? They know we can't afford all of that!
Combine privatization of these services with our lost Medicare, Medicaid, & other Health Care Services millions of Americans will get sick or die! Eliminating the old, weak, sick and poor through needless suffering until death without services that our tax money should be paying for means more money for the greedy rich. Privatizing health insurance, prescription drugs and medical care only for those who can afford it means less Americans and more money for the billionaires.
It's going to take ALL of us to bring down the tRump regime and billionaire oligarchs, who own and rule them.
Enough with the Democrats vs Republicans. You must choose between Democracy and Dictatorship, between Good and Evil, between Love and Hate.
I hope you stand up, choose love, and join the resistance!

Mmm... yes; however, the rejoinder thus far has been something like "Why would anyone work at Starbucks/Amazon Warehouse/etc. if they have healthcare by default?"...
(Note that South Park's creators didn't decide to have Satan gestating Trump's butt baby - and CEO's delivering a parade of gifts for "da baby" - because of ambiguity about what is being worshiped; crass it may be... but so is populism.)
The United States Government cannot ever Shut down by design, as the States agreed Unanimously to apportion the debts of the Union proportionally, per capita, based upon an enumeration, the same per capita apportionment for representation in the House to determine the debts of the United States, and it’s due on demand, not through raising the debt limit, as even that “national debt” is apportioned equally among the States, not on the backs of the American People to pay through individual federal income taxes, or other unconstitutional federal taxes on individuals and businesses!
The Constitution was designed to address the disparity which existed between the States in their population and wealth by normalizing the States based upon a common factor, each State’s proportion of the aggregate population of the Union, by balancing the legislative process to make laws and to make the cost of membership for each State more equitable, which formed a More Perfect Union.
We have dismantled and circumvented that unanimous agreement to form a More Perfect Union, rendering the Constitution of the United States as a superfluous and meaningless document! That’s the problem we must address today in the United States!
American Generals, Admirals, Warriors and Legislators (current or retired), you are not alone, be the heroes you vowed to be and stand against the biggest national threat to the USA - Führer tRump! He called himself a “war hero,” despite dodging the Vietnam draft. No war hero would slash VA funding and leave out veterans struggling. Cutting Medicaid will leave many more homeless.
Stand with our heroic Governors who have the guts to speak against the tRump and his regime. We are stronger together. The more we rise - the more will rise!
The Denomic Destructor of Democracy has declared war on peaceful communities. You must not follow orders from a lunatic psychopath. You know it's un-American to invade "blue" cities and silence protesters.
Our former Presidents, current and former Governors, Generals, Judges, Physicians (capable of diagnosing his mental disorders), with the support of the people form a coalition and demand his arrest along with his administration from hell!
Our Military and National Guard must also remember their oath to the constitution! Support the resistance, protect the protesters and arrest US Dick Traitor, Führer DonOld tRump!
You did not take an oath to follow a FAKE Commander and Chief. You don't have to obey his orders.
All it takes is to re-ordain the States as the Union assembled in a congress as the Supreme Authority in the United States, which is a superfluous, but necessary, act, because we need to be reintroduced to the Union, how it’s assembled and how it functions to determine All Acts and Things the United States may of Right do as a Free and Independent State.
Sadly, we no longer have a Democracy. The constitution and the laws of the land are no longer relevant. The tRump regime is above the law. Führer tRump is a fuckin trouble making idiotic terror!
We are currently losing the war against this criminal Dick Traitor. He's ended our democracy, is rapidly stealing our civil rights and is now threatening America citizens. We are no where near the numbers needed to save our democracy. We need just 3.5% (11 million American protesters and boycotters) of the US population to effectively end the reign of the tRump, his regime of Nazi MAGAts, the ICE Gestapo, the billionaire oligarchs (who hog the money you earn) and his Administration from Hell!
The last mass protests had no where near enough participants. That means we all need to encourage at least three more people to support the resistance and attend the next
No Kings protest on October 18. Learn more at NoKings.org
We the People are the only ones with the power to restore our civil rights, rebuild our democracy and elect a real President!
In the meantime use 5calls.org (24 hours) to tell your representatives to end the Big Brutal Bill and restore our Medical Research and Services.
The tRump is planning to give more tax breaks (which our tax money pays for) to the greedy rich oligarchs. They in turn invest our tax payers money into technology companies that, invent robots to replace humans workers. Oligarchs, like Amazon's Bezos make millions sending rich people on ten minutes space rides and the Musk Rat wants to colonize Mars. I don't know about you but I can live without robots, space rides and I have no desire to live on Mars! I would rather our children grow up in affordable homes and attend good schools. I believe we should all get fair wages and quality medical care. I would like to see our elders get quality care for life without bankrupting themselves. Wouldn't you?

The opponents to your ideals have already demonstrated their willingness to resort to violence, murder, assassinations, “disappearances”, unjust incarcerations.
The Demented Bastard and his War Dog wants to deploy the US armed forces against you and the people of the USA.
How prepared are you to confront the stormtroopers?
Darrell, you are promoting the Project 2025 agenda, which, at the essence, is to create a constitution divorced from the human rights proclaimed by the Declaration of Independence, and reaffirmed in the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments.
Absolutely not, that is treason and an act against the United States, which is also a violation of every civil officers oath of office and could have them impeached and prosecuted with the penalties of loss of life, liberty, and property in the common course of law.
I’m a strict constitutional originalist and support the assembly of the States as the Union in a congress, a democracy of the States, and the Supreme Authority in the United States!
Darrell, you are not an originalist, for the simple reason that you cannot go back in time and rewrite the Constitution to your liking. To call that "originalism" is fraud.
The Constitution of the United States is immutable and therefore timeless! I don’t have to go back in time, the Constitution of the United States is required to be in force as the States agree unanimously to adopt!
Ross was many things, including a billionaire at a time when billionaires were rare, although he overestimated his power as a lone one.
He was right about the fallacy of NAFTA. He did not predict "the vast sucking sound" of jobs going to China and other parts of Asia, but NAFTA was the gateway drug that addicted many corporate CEOs and boards of directors.
"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." ~John Lewis
It does so feel like America is on a sinking ship. I keep thinking of all the the Jews that lost their belonging their homes, their friends and families, their lives because they couldn't believe the rumors about the evils atrocities their denomic Führer had unleashed. What if more Jews had heeded those rumored warnings? More could have been saved.
They only had rumors - we have the internet! Brave people are telling us their stories every day, warning us of what's to come. Should we all be thinking about packing up our belongings, selling our homes and getting out of the USA while we still can. Before we get rounded up and put on a plane to nowhere, never be seen again.
Führer tRump has already said that he wants to detain everyone who opposes him - if you are one of those people you will be at risk someday. He has already initiated the first steps towards genocide in the USA.
What the fuck are you waiting for? Some other country to start dropping bombs on us like we did to end the evil Dick Traitor in Germany.
Americans will die, our Children too, without the emergency, medical and care services his Big Brutal Bill stoled from us.
Do you MAGAts really prefer that your tax money goes to funding war and ICE instead of caring for your American friends and family? If you prefer that way of life, be easy on yourself and move to an already established communist country like Russia and save yourself the trouble of trying to turn America into a dictatorship.
Leave the USA to those of us that prefer peace, progressive democracy and our American diversity.
If by chance there are any MAGA supporters out there who may be feeling a touch of guilt over the loss, pain and suffering endured by people hurt by the tRump regime - you are not alone.
If you are a Republican and are struggling with the decisions of the current administration - you are not alone.
If you are a friend or family member of a die hard Republican MAGA supporter - you are not alone.

Darrell, not We, but some of us, most notably the Supreme Court. Its textualist reading of the Constitution divorced it from the human rights proclaimed by the Declaration of Independence. The Roberts Court has turned the Constitution into a legal document protecting business interests above all.
Human rights were not proclaimed by the Declaration of Independence, as the actual declaration as published was for the Rights of a Free and Independent State with the Full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do All other Acts and Things which Independent States may of Right do, rights each ceded to for the Union, a Free and Independent State, and each States equal vote in the Senate is the constitutional recognition of the residual sovereignty of each State for the Power to “determine” All Acts and Things which the United States may of Right do as a Free and Independent State!
Nothing in any of our founding documents relates to persons as individuals and only concern the States as members of the Union!
Darrell, do read the Declaration, because you seem to be parroting somebody's misinterpretation of it. The rights proclaimed are: to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness of each human being on the planet, for "we are created equal." Do you have problem with that?.
Absolutely not, here’s the last paragraph which states the declaration as it was published:
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.
The rulers of the states were the wealthy landowning elites of their day. They didn’t care about human rights of slaves, servants, females, or indigenous peoples.
They say we should go after the pillars that support the tRump. The Justices, the Republicans, the Cabinet members and the Administration from Hell. Don't give them any peace! Shame them! Call them out everywhere they go. Plan Sit-ins near their offices! Call for their impeachment! Call for their arrest!
We all know they are preparing to cheat their way through another election and we can't vote out a Supreme Court Justice. Most Americans aren't even aware that we have lost our democracy and we are doing nothing to support the resistance. Even those of us who are aware that our children and grandchildren will not grow up without the civil rights we had are not making any real sacrifices.
I really want you all to prove we wrong. Only a few are really supporting the resistance. Mostly older people who already fought for our democracy and know that the US is regressing towards life without our civil rights. Don't let this happen. America Speak Up! Stand Up and Do Something! What the fuck are you waiting for? Some other country to start dropping bombs on us like we did to end the evil Dick Traitor in Germany.
The tRump has begun the process of Genocide in the USA. We have already lost our democracy! Americans of every color are dieing, our Children too, without the emergency, medical and care services the tRump's Big Brutal Bill stoled from us. More cuts are coming. His ICE henchmen are picking up people of every color, citizens too. The tRump is already threatening to incarcerate every one who opposes him. Führer tRump has plans to send more of his ICE goons into more of our neighborhoods and build concentration camps in every state.
Do you MAGAts really prefer that your tax money goes to funding war and ICE instead of caring for your American friends and family?
If by chance there are any MAGA supporters out there who may be feeling a touch of guilt over the loss, pain and suffering endured by people hurt by the tRump regime - you are not alone.
If you are a Republican and are struggling with the decisions of the current administration - you are not alone.

Please spread the word about these ongoing Anti-tRump & Fight the Oligarchs Resistance efforts. Here are some e-posters to screenshot and share…
Do us a favor and write down every thing you think you are doing to bring down the evil demon in the White House. And then compare it to the list linked below. Then tell us here on Substack what you were willing to sacrifice and how that has worked for you and your family.
Most of you have already stopped reading and most will never touch the link to open the list. And many of those that open the list will never share the list or talk about it.
I never thought I would be grateful that I will never have grandchildren but I am. My blood line will end with my children. I fight for yours. But I am starting to wonder if their own families won't fight for them maybe they are not worth fighting for. Sorry but my fire is starting to flicker.
How is plutocracy established in the United States and by whom? Plutocracy, oligarchy, and authoritarianism are not Republican Forms of Government, which is required in the United States as established by Article 4 Section 4 of the Constitution of the United States!
So I ask again, How are these forms of government we are complaining about established and by whom, because they are not Ordained and Established by the Constitution of the United States?
The vast monetary resources of the plutocrats enables them to “influence” members of all three branches of the US government.
The billionaires and mega-millionaires own most of the mass media— radio, television, cable, Hollywood movies, newspapers, magazines, etc. They use their media to control the narrative.
Most Americans don’t follow the media of other countries. Most MAGA-cult Americans cannot afford to immerse themselves in the cultures of other countries. Most have lived their entire lives in geographical isolation.
Ask any random ten Americans to explain Socialism, Communism, Capitalism, and Democracy. I have asked many dozens. With the exception of a few professors who specialize in those fields of study, the typical random American says something like “Capitalism and Democracy are good” and “Socialism and Communism are bad” without any elaboration.
Some of the “smart” answers include China and Russia and the old USSR torture people or force them to work as slaves.
That is totally unconstitutional! Properly assembled, money cannot influence how our government is assembled and operated, or the policy made and agreed to, in a democracy, or any democratic or republican form of government, the monied interest are minorities!
Nevertheless, the “money” is indeed influencing legislators. Elections and apparently some of the courts. And, the Supreme Court has decreed that the proffering money is equivalent to expressing speech, protected by the First Amendment.
Why are having difficulty understanding that the system is designed to not have influence, especially by money, that’s why they choose a Republican Form of Government!
Right! “My idealism”. These are not my ideas, nor my interpretations! If you put any of my comments into the AI Analysis Bot of your choice, it will tell you that these were the arguments made at the time of drafting the Constitution of the United States to get the States to agree to adopt these “ideas” and principles of collective decision making.
All members of the armed forces are asked to swear the oath to defend the Constitution and the people of the USA against all enemies foreign and domestic. This complies with the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
The US military service academies teach their students about the possibility of rogue elements seizing control of Congress and the White House. When civil discourse fails, military force becomes necessary.
What is remarkable is that the War Between the States has been the only instance of major military intervention in the USA.
Yes, “the constitution” they are swearing to defend is the assembly of the States as the Union in a congress, not the document which ordains and establishes the assembly of the States in a Congress as the Union!
The document is the unanimous agreement to ordain and establish, the document cannot be ordained and established!
They didn’t give the right of voting to anyone, as only the States have a right to vote in the Federal Government, but they did give the right to be counted to every person depending on their condition in our society, counted as 1 whole person and 3/5 of a person for All other persons, which included women and children, for representation to be apportioned to their State based upon that number.
When the Slaves we’re freed, that number went from 3/5 to 1 woke person overnight, and the States were required to count every person as a free person and apportion representation according to that number in the State’s Most Numerous Legislative Branch and to form the State’s Representative Delegation to the Federal Legislature, to form an exact representation of ALL THE PEOPLE of the state. But those white men almost 100 years devised a plan to exclude freed slaves, women, and children from that representation, it’s called competitive assembly based upon party affiliation, “Jim Crow”, which gave them the power to determine who would be representing the State in Congress and power and control in congress based upon majority party affiliation, no matter how many votes are cast by whom, or for whom, the parties, who are the agents of the economic elite, are still in control of how policy is made and by whom.
You need to get your history into its proper context!
Thanks for the explanatory minutia. Bottom line: approximately 3% of the population was “allowed” to vote for representatives; not for legislation. That 3% included the wealthy elites.
Today, the most powerful elites are the top 0.001% that lead the plutocracy.
Actually the Billionaires in the United States are 0.00025% of the population and are entitled to an equal proportion of representation and influence over policy! However, through political parties the increase their influence unconstitutionally to 100%.
That’s why political parties cannot participate in our government or how it’s assembled!
They exist unconditionally, and there is nothing the Supreme Court can do to change that fact! The Supreme Court is only ordained with the authority to resolve conflicts and disputes between the States and to adjudicate petitions for redress of grievances when properly made laws in a properly assembled legislative institution disenfranchise, or otherwise disproportionately affect, one or more States, that’s what it means to establish, the jurisdiction of the ordained authority must be specified!
The Supreme Court has no power and authority to interpret the Constitution of the United States!
Wrong! The requirement is to form an exact representation of the population assembled as the most numerous legislative branch of the State Legislature, so it was expected that 1/6 of the population would vote as the qualified electorate for that purpose, but it’s just a random sampling, and the representative density determines how well that requirement of an exact representation is met, which has to be changed depending on the size of the population being represented, but it definitely cannot be determined by competitive partisan elections which will not result in a representation of the Population.
I know math is not most people’s strong suit, but this is straight out of ratios, proportions, and percents, which most people have in math class by the 5th grade!
The wealthy white men who wrote and adopted the Constitution didn’t give the “right” of voting to slaves, indentured servants, women, indigenous people, or anyone who didn’t own land. Basically, only 3% of the population were allowed to vote for representatives. No one other than the representatives was empowered to vote for/against any legislation.
So, the government of the USA started with affluent “leaders” and has remained so through today. However, the difference in the magnitude of the wealth of the elites versus that of the poor and working classes has been amplified through a combination of time and compound “interests”.
The plutocrats have been able to “support” — or bribe —politicians who vote in favor of the interests of plutocrats. Plutocrats own the majority of the mass media. Plutocrats own a majority of the Supreme Court.
No, that’s why there is the requirement of a Republican Form of Government, to neutralize any influence based upon wealth or property! Even if the State was controlled by the monied elite in a democratic assembly of the Articles of Confederation, the had to immediately change once the Constitution of the United States was ratified by All the States for adoption.
That is the sole reason for Article 4 Section 4 of the Constitution of the United States, to force the States to form an exact representation of ALL THE PEOPLE of each State assembled as each State’s Most Numerous Legislative Branch as a condition of membership in the Union!
The government under Trump is a wreck and has been, as you say, Mr. Reich, ever since Trump took office. But that’s exactly how he wants it and exactly what Vought has been working toward all this time. A government shutdown now is, for them both, a kind of victory.
Correct, Constance. That is what they want. From abroad, it looks extremely bad (as it is). Our world is in a very bad place, and we hope for a return to decency in the US.
Their end goal is to completely destroy the federal government so that billionaires will be able to pick up the pieces for pennies on the dollar and privatize everything.
If we don’t put up serious opposition, we’re going to be forever screwed .
I am from the UK 🇬🇧 and honestly, one of the main reasons I love reading pieces like this (v well written btw) is that it calms my nerves about the state and the mindset of America/Americans! To know there are still rational minds out there, who believe what their eyes are telling them, is reassuring. I can’t imagine what it’s like being under such a ridiculous presidency. But the way Nigel Farage is moving, i may have a taste of it myself soon. If Trump sustains and Farage gets in, I suggest we start our very own substack republic. Imagine the flag entries and the well written treaty 😩
I envy you. Once his term ends, 47 can be denied entry into your country for the rest of his life, despite the golf courses, because of his status as a convicted felon. We’re stuck with him.
Firstly, I love that you refuse to his his name and secondly, I’m sorry. The sad story is, if there was an election in the UK tomorrow, we’d have Farage as our leader and he’d do anything his sycophantic little brain could muster to allow 47 into our country. Populism is dividing and conquering
You’re believing propaganda. I a really live under starmers system and know that free speech exists in this country. also we talk of free speech yet you’re saying whether I’m qualified to comment? I’m free to comment.
If free speech didn’t exist in the uk then I would have been arrested by now. May I ask, are you based in the uk? Then if not, your views are totally redundant because they’re likely based in twitter or social media. Free speech very much exists my friend. Otherwise i wouldn’t be allowed to say that trump, Farage, Tommy Robinson, and the likes are total charlatans, obstinate twats, dumb, attempting seeking dimwits, pushing a divisive agenda that means nothing more than a popularity contest. You suggest JD Vance should come here yet this is a man who hated Trump before he got to be his right hand man, is it that wilted ? That flimsy? Pick your icons wisely.
> f free speech didn’t exist in the uk then I would have been arrested by now.
No, because your „opinions” are all in agreement with Sir Keir Stabber’s.
> May I ask, are you based in the uk?
Not exactly, Canada, actually, but I was born in the UK and lived there until my early twenties. I still have family there, from Devon to Shetland and Arisaig to Crouch End, and I used to go back frequently. I may no longer do so, though.
> Then if not, your views are totally redundant because they’re likely based in twitter or social media.
Yours are, actually, because I check the Grauniad every day (it was through the Grauniad that I found this substack), and I see you’ve added nothing whatever to the all-too-common Grauniadofcom miasma.
> Free f free speech didn’t exist in the uk then I would have been arrested by now.
Your whole schlock reminds me of the old Soviet joke:
Reagan: I can walk up to the Capitol and yell: the US government is a bunch of corrupt racist thugs!
Gorbachev: I can walk up to the Kremlin and yell: the US government is a bunch of corrupt racist thugs!
> Otherwise i wouldn’t be allowed to say that trump, Farage, Tommy Robinson, and the likes are total charlatans, obstinate twats, dumb, attempting seeking dimwits, pushing a divisive agenda that means nothing more than a popularity contest.
Well, the above are all Sir Keir Stabber and the Grauniad’s favourite targets for criticism, so you’re just echoing the party line.
Your rhetorical resources are as limited as those of Sharia-enforcer wannabe Sadiq Kan(amahoundmujarradnaakihanzajaahil).
Try aiming some criticism at the cross-channel invasion of the UK (talk of protecting the inviolability of Ukraine’s borders is laughable when the UK can’t even control the Channel, for the first time since 1639) and the outright treason of the contemptible monasteriodissolvendum English legal establishment. Actually go to a Tommy Robinson function and get him to sign one of his books for you. I have. I also bought a T shirt at that function saying F 🍁 🇮🇱 K Hamas and wore it (later that day I found myself the only Westerner in a crowd of Mahoundis with a liberal proportion of dalek suits).
If Doreen Lawrence can be appointed to the Lords there’s no reason to delay Tommy’s appointment any longer - Britain’s last genuine working class hero.
He’s stood up to the same „find me Tommy Robinson” „legal” onslaught as the Donald, without the latter’s comparatively larger resources.
> You suggest JD Vance should come here yet this is a man who hated Trump before he got to be his right hand man, is it that wilted ?
He saw the light. I wouldn’t have picked the Donald myself, but he’s right on the issues. Especially involving Germany.
You are a lost cause. You’ve pedalled every bit of propaganda these guys have spewed. Sharia enforcer 😂 😂 I live in London and let me tell you, there is no sharia law. And the fact you believe that tells me everything. The fact you think Stephen Yaxley Lennon is a working class hero also tells me even more. You write with the air of someone who thinks they’re smart but in actuality, you just echo the utter dross that these people come out with. You don’t even live in the UK currently and you’re telling me that Sadiq Kahn pushes for sharia law. Actually laughable. I’m living in the lies that you’re spreading and I can tell you right now, it’s not happening. I can say FUCK starmer and his entire party, and I’m not going to get arrested. All I did, actually, was give my opinion on a country that I live in. Yet here you are, a strange old Canadian telling me about two countries he doesn’t even live in? Let me guess, you think Britain will be an Islamic country soon as well hahaha. It’s people like you Robert, that grease this fascistic wheelhouse and keep it going. But you simply aren’t worth the time or energy of trying to convince you otherwise. You’re too deep in the quagmire of the free speech brigades nonsense.
If someone did this over in the UK, we would all be on the streets in such numbers that the government would be forced to take note. I would join them even though I'm in my mid 70s. In France there would be riots and massive protests. One thing dictators fear is the public coming for them and there being nothing the security forces can do about it.
In the US government is like an abusive parent, we are all trying to get by on our own in competition with our siblings…. The corporations take advantage of this by posing as solution providers with tiered access.
In other countries, young people are more involved because they aren’t already accumulating debt for their education. Here they might lose a lot by rebelling against the abusive system.
Dems must send a simple message. To provide15 million American citizens with health insurance that republicans stole from you and gave it to their friends and billionaires. You want healthcare? turn left, want no healthcare, turn right. It should be that simple. Need to enlighten folks that when other people get sick it impacts us all, at times in devastating ways as (most of us) remember. Ask your MAGA neighbor (as long as they’re not pointing an AR-15 at you) why they want 15 million American citizens to suffer without health care and don’t fall for that line of bullshit that undocumented immigrant are being provided same.
Trump will use shutdown to fire any known Democratic voter working in government. The great purge and jobs will be filled by MAGA loyalists. Trump is already an unrestrained dictator, remember he has declared Democrats and minorities a threat to the US, "the enemy within"
We Democrats, should see this shutdown was orchestrated by Trump to make us look like the bad guys. Democrats offered a fix. Republicans refused because Trump wanted a shutdown. Period.
If anyone you know blames this shutdown on Democratss, make sure you correct them: Republicans currently hold ALL three branches of government. They are required to work with the minority to get legislation passed. But they aren't interested, so this is 100% on them. Sadly, MAGA is dumb enough to believe them... 🤦♀️
They will stay dumb, they'd still vote for Trump. The diehard MAGA base is just too ignorant to be swayed by reality...
That's why you will trigger them if you wear these kinds of shirts 👇
https://libtees.dashery.com/t-shirts
Let's see if Americans are smart enough to recognize what has happened here. This shutdown is lose-lose for the American people. It will hurt MAGAs more than it hurts anyone else. Republicans use scare tactics by pushing FALSE information because they know MAGA supporters will fall for lies.
By the way, the shutdown hasn’t affected the construction of Trump’s grotesquely gold , unnecessary Ballroom!
Perhaps it's time to think the unthinkable... US Military overthrow of Trump's Fascist Coup. They take an oath to protect the US Constitution not a demented dictator.
I didn't see a whole lot of happy faces at the Trump Fuehrer's General's meeting.
Instead of sending military to US cities, send to WH and Mar A Lago, arrest Trump and charge him with High Treason and Crimes Against Humanity.
His fascist " allies" would collapse and beg for mercy.
3 months after purge, have another general election monitored by International oversight.
Agreed, it's past time for an American Bastille Day. No one is acceptable at this point, not trump,Vance or Mike Johnson. All of them need to be gone and put on trial for their crimes.
All Republicans need to be held accountable,as do members of the Supreme Court. America may need military rule until government reform can bring about the actual rights for all.
I agree! Nothing will stop these guys except a coup. Democrats need to subtly engage a well funded attack on the White House and the Pentagon and Congress. Charge all Republicans in power with treason.
The entire Cabinet and Homan.
Detain them in one of those immigration camps!
I’m done playing by the rules. They don’t have any neither should we!
It is about time that the Democrats showed some spine, yet the party needs a house cleaning and the old guard needs to retire, we sorely need new fighting blood, that isn't afraid to call out the liars, grifters, thieves and perverts.
The days of "my friends across the aisle" is long gone, if it ever existed (for the sake of the people, it did exist for the sake of the power class.
A dime for the poor, and a dollar for the rich, That was DC politics, time to end it and admit what Bernie has been saying that this is a class war. Wasn't itWarren Buffet who said "the class war is real and my class has won it"?
Buffet was right. They won a couple of decades ago. Trump and his Project 2025 allies are now consolidating their victory. They still need a credible election to legitimize their oligarchy.
I don't think that they are concerned at all legitimacy. Power is all the legitimacy needed, and they have demonstrated beyond anything else "ever seen before" that they have power, and virtually unbridled power.
Do you really think that Trump and his cult actually care what people think?
Democrats too, ever conscious of public opinion and legitimacy, they project those weaknesses onto the enemy.
The minor judicial victories, are that minor, two steps forward, one step back, and it suits their purpose whether or not to abide judicial decisions, if not overturned at the appellate level, they are overturned by SCOTUS, which has consistently ruled in Trump's favor, and the two cases they didn't, Trump has ignored the rulings and pressed on.
Yet, people , or at least some people, don't have a clue, or are like a child afraid of the boogeyman, pulls the cover over their head, because if they can't see, then they won't be seen.
DESTROY THE PILLARS!
They say we should go after the pillars that support the tRump. The Justices, the Republicans, the Cabinet members and the Administration from Hell. Don't give them any peace! Shame them! Call them out everywhere they go. Plan Sit-ins near their offices! Call for their impeachment! Call for their arrest!
We all know they are preparing to cheat their way through another election and we can't vote out a Supreme Court Justice. Most Americans aren't even aware that we have lost our democracy and we are doing nothing to support the resistance. Even those of us who are aware that our children and grandchildren will not grow up without the civil rights we had are not making any real sacrifices.
I really want you all to prove we wrong. Only a few are really supporting the resistance. Mostly older people who already fought for our democracy and know that the US is regressing towards life without our civil rights. Don't let this happen. America Speak Up! Stand Up and Do Something! What the fuck are you waiting for? Some other country to start dropping bombs on us like we did to end the evil Dick Traitor in Germany.
The tRump has begun the process of Genocide in the USA. We have already lost our democracy! Americans of every color are dieing, our Children too, without the emergency, medical and care services the tRump's Big Brutal Bill stoled from us. More cuts are coming. His ICE henchmen are picking up people of every color, citizens too. The tRump is already threatening to incarcerate every one who opposes him. Führer tRump has plans to send more of his ICE goons into more of our neighborhoods and build concentration camps in every state.
Do you MAGAts really prefer that your tax money goes to funding war and ICE instead of caring for your American friends and family?
If by chance there are any MAGA supporters out there who may be feeling a touch of guilt over the loss, pain and suffering endured by people hurt by the tRump regime - you are not alone.
If you are a Republican and are struggling with the decisions of the current administration - you are not alone.
If you are a friend or family member of a die hard Republican MAGA supporter - you are not alone.
There's hope and support on LeavingMAGA.org. LeavingMAGA is on Substack too.

Please spread the word about these ongoing Anti-tRump & Fight the Oligarchs Resistance efforts. Here are some e-posters to screenshot and share…
Do us a favor and write down every thing you think you are doing to bring down the evil demon in the White House. And then compare it to the list linked below. Then tell us here on Substack what you were willing to sacrifice and how that has worked for you and your family.
Most of you have already stopped reading and most will never touch the link to open the list. And many of those that open the list will never share the list or talk about it.
I never thought I would be grateful that I will never have grandchildren but I am. My blood line will end with my children. I fight for yours. But I am starting to wonder if their own families won't fight for them maybe they are not worth fighting for. Sorry but my fire is starting to flicker.
It is a long interview, Everybody's Mamá, but the last few words that Rick says are well worth listening to. Leaving MAGA and any other similar reconciliation initiative could be the soft power that avoids Civil War in America. Much like lifting the veil off a duped population and allowing it to heal and return to normal. What is happening at the moment is anything but normal. But there is a way out, and it lies in the higher qualities of human nature. The greatest act of love is forgiveness.
Thank you Beverley for using your words to support the Anti-tRump / Fight the Oligarchs Resistance. You should be a Substack writers. You beautiful words reminded me of this Senator Sanders video about the importance of listening and using your words (written or spoken) to create changes. I really want to believe that most tRump supporters are good they are just desperate for better days and they believe his lies.

But we can find ways to neutralize SCOTUS. If the shoe was on the other foot, the Republicsns would make it happen.
I hope someone does find a way to neutralize them and the entire administration from hell. But in the meantime let them feel shame. They deserve that at least.
I seriously doubt that the US military will carry out a coup to remove the Republican President from office. The tradition of civilian management/control of the military dates from the Constitution and is a long standing practice. No matter how revolting the actions of Trump and company, we cannot depend on the military to take action. I hope the military has the good sense to stand aside if the Prez illegally declares martial law.
YES. I agree.
That's what happened in Greece and in Egypt to name a few.
Me think if the U.S. was not a North American or northern Western European located democracy, it would have already happened.
If this were France, the country would have been brought to a dead stop months ago.
I'd like that, too. Could there be a consensus from the military? I'd hope so but you know that oldx saying, if your going against "the king", you'd better be sure.
I love it! If only it would happen but the "fat" generals & admirals would never succumb to what's obviously the right thing to do!
trump fancies himself an old style Fascist. History always repeats. Maybe a reinactment of those grainy black and white images of Il Duce and his whore's final fate. Not an idea I offer lightly or without much consideration but the nation's safety is far more important than one pathetic con man's ego.
It’s time for a real “Seven Days In May”….
Good point. Also quite insane.
I know 2 or 3 MAGAs. Yep, they thing Trump is an angel protecting our rights.
I'll bet they can spell though.
sure can "THO"
I keep telling people to remember he means what he says, but then I refuse to hear that I am "the enemy within".
We have a race for governor next year, and I see the trolls on social media going after our current AG who is an absolute fighter, and hopefully the next governor.
And then I read a substack post from months ago, very seriously discussing practical ways to leave the country.
It's time to take him very seriously. Despite his fear of falling down stairs.
Thomas Frank in his great book 'What's the Matter with Kansas?' marveled at the way Republican voters there inexplicably and continuously voted against their own best interests. Today we have the master liar-conman on earth slipping them the poison which they sup with glee. They just refuse to reject the hatred which is required in service to their vile master.
It's hard to understand, these pathetic maga folk. They have the minds of children who, out of fear and the need to feel loved, have formed an abnormal attachment to their sadistic, psychotic 'daddy figure' nut-job. To the magas, a word of wisdom, "Daddy ain't interested in your problems children, get out of the house while you still can....before he burns it all down with you in it.
Yeah I read that too. And I still have family there.
Are there NO controls on what a president can/cannot do to the physical aspects of OUR White House???????
Someone STOP him. Please!!!
Since there are no human beings left in charge, we now have reptiles running the place, I am waiting on the Grim Reaper to gather those who need to leave.
My thought exactly, this shutdown is in the Republicans, House, Senate, and White House! Sad that Congress republicans are harming the citizens by taking healthcare and needed services, to line the pockets of the rich. As a point of interest, Congress is still being paid while 17 million Americans are losing healthcare and the rest of the citizens are seeing exorbitant increases in their premiums and copays from the insurance companies. They will also be making billions to pay their CEO’s that “Golden Parachute” that’s been around for decades!
For those that don’t know, it’s a bonus for the CEO’s for productivity! This regime has the billionaires and big companies covered!!!
So we all know that maga are nothing but morons. I live with 2 of them. One said it's a Schumer shut down, and I corrected her. The house has to send a cr or budget the senate then they negotiate to find a compromise. But Maga Mike and the Grindr apocalypse left town last week weren't even in town to pass a bill. The dems were all there. She said oh that's fake news. I replied no the only fake news is coming from Fox and all the liars on the right. I showed her a cspan video of the house floor on Tuesday guess what all the Dems where there bit no Republicans in sight. The Republicans don't want to be part of the government si vote Blue people and stop letting this government give the wealthy elite like Traitor Trump tax breaks!
To that you can add benefits that retirees and vets and those who have chronic illnesses have paid for through their taxes. It's being stolen and given to billionaires. Do any of them need tax breaks?
Urgent Call to Action:
Call (202) 224-3121 NOW and tell your Senators to Save the Affordable (Obama) Care Act and Medicaid.
The Republicans have forced the government to shut down because they refuse to negotiate with the Democrats who are trying to save our Medical Services.
We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t. If the Government doesn't reopen federal workers and potentially the citizens they serve will face intense hardship. But if the Government reopens millions of Americans will lose their medical services.
Hardships from the shutdown should be recoverable with time. But people will die without their medications or medical care. Think about the children, many who lead happy productive lives because of their life saving medications. Without our insurance, our life expectancy will decrease significantly.
Call your Democratic representatives now and tell them that we support them! Tell them to do whatever they have to do to save our Medical Services!
Call your Republican representatives and tell them to stop kissing their Führer's ass. Demand they restore our Medical Services immediately!
Support the Democrats on this issue. Shame on Democratic Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine supporting the Republicans who refuse to protect our democracy and our human services. Call them and demand they protect our insurance.

Yes, call and write your representatives. Also let your religious leaders know that you expect them to speak out on Trump's anti-Life policies. Pope Leo already condemned them.
None of them pay taxes so no they don't need a tax break. They are greedy bastards that are reliving the revolutions of the past where the rich got richer and the people eventually rise up and fight back. Thing The Bastile, American revolutionary war, civil war.
Finally someone ( @heatherb740982 )who worked out messaging that is clear, simple and factual, let’s hope it’s picked up and spread wide and far!
If you can think of a good phrase for a sign, I'm interested! Mine has become faded and bent so I am making a new one for October 18 and I want a message that will say something to make Americans think. I'm open to all suggestions!
We have a bumper sticker, not radical, but gets the point across: "Another embarrassed ex-Republican." We've never been Republican but we get a lot of people stopping to take a photo of it. I like to think that it gets others to stop and think without anyone wanting to shoot us!
Hahahaha! Good one, Nancy!
I have a friend who created the acronym "STEW". Sorry That Everything's Worse"
Mike Hammer’s statement, “You want healthcare? Turn left / Want no healthcare? Turn right” looks like a ready-made sign to me … or a pair of contrasting signs for two No Kings protesters to present side by side.
Or, to make it easier to read, "Turn LEFT for HEALTHCARE. Turn RIGHT for BILLIONAIRES".
How about- "Vote Blue for healthcare, vote red to support billionaires"
Sure. I will be at an intersection, so mine works better for me.
Healthcare? D
No healthcare? R
I like it! Thanks Paul and Mike!
Peggy, good luck with your new sign!
Thanks, Paul! I am looking forward to October 18. I hope there are millions upon millions out there standing up for our country and making our voices heard!
If billionaires deserve all of the rewards, let the billionaires do ALL of the work.
If you aren’t a billionaire, join in the General Strike.
CK, do you know when the General Strike will be called?
The Greatest Generation beat the Nazis. Now it's our turn to beat the snot out of the Trump fascists. And on the back: Of course I'm anti-fascist!
You are so right, Jim! Our time is now and we must not let up even a little bit! We have to keep fighting and keep resisting!
My sign is “Weep First, Then Rise”: Short for “I weep first for all who suffer injustice; then I rise to join them in confronting that injustice!” - my explanation of my sign.
Excellent sign, Gene!
No Thugs and Goons.
The shut down--

Wed, Oct 1, 11:28 AM (21 hours ago)
to all
The Republicans are blaming our current political quagmire on Chuck Schumer and the Democrats. Reality check, this whole mess is the result of Trump's cascade of endless lies. Mr. Trump ran on his promise not to touch our healthcare system. With the assistance of speaker Johnson, who has his head buried so far up Trump's hind quarters when the orange guy yawns, Johnson can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Trump's Bullshit Bastard Bill, which he seems to be so proud of, is in essence the worst piece of legislation to come out of our political arena in recent memory. I'm sure a bunch of spineless dweebs like Miller and Vought filled Trump's vacuous head with their opinions on how that bill was to be written. What Chuck is doing, by looking out for the people in this country that Trump has turned his back on, is an honorable endeavor. Trump is the fool who forced Mr. Schumer's hand. If passed, the travesty our people will be forced to contend with will mimic an economic disaster of unheard of proportions. The Democrats have had their hands tied because of the spineless morons in both the house and the senate who follow Trump like a dog that's had its spirit broken. If the Republicans would reiterate their promise to leave our healthcare system as is, the shut down would be short lived. It's all up to the Republicans, who no one in their right mind can trust. This is Trump's shut down!!! Chuck is simply looking out for the well being of the American people.
It takes two to tango, and most voters will hold both parties accountable. Will they bother to vote next year?
EXACTLY RIGHT AS IT SHOULD!
SAVE OUR MEDICAL SERVICES
Indivisible.org' founder Ezra Levin is calling for urgent actions (ahead of the October 18 No Kings Day protests) to save our Medical Services! Please read the attached article below and join us.
“Dems are showing a little backbone. Our job is to stiffen it. Our goal is not a shutdown -- it’s building an opposition party that uses its leverage to reduce human harm and slow the march toward authoritarianism. Whether Republicans drive us into a shutdown or not, our success depends on Democrats holding strong rather than simply surrendering again.
Republicans will not change course if they think they can just roll over Dems again. And Dems will not stay strong unless they feel like they have the support to do so. This is a week when your calls, your visits to congressional offices, and your level of vocal support really matter.” - Ezra Levin
https://onemommy.substack.com/p/healthcare-not-authoritarianism?r=113nff
Republicans will not change course. Not this year. How long are Dems willing to keep the impasse?
"Accustomed to trample on the rights of those around you, you have lost the genius of your own independence, and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises." -- Lincoln
It's not even so much a matter of "left" or "right" as it is one of honestly or dishonestly, wisdom or folly, kindness or cruelty, or "decency" as opposed to the words forever paired with Joe McCarthy, of "no decency"?
If we were casting a movie. who would the "bad guys" be?
..if Fox were the producer?
The orange menace to mankind, him and his lapdogs of corruption, they do not want to say bye-bye to those shoved through the door and down the American peoples throats, Trumps so called beautiful bill, aka tax cuts, for Trump and his other billionaire buddies, but I do not hold out a lot of hope with, OMB director, Russel Vought, and author of Project 2025 in charge of that department, I see were this is heading and none of it's good, still, we must remain somehow optimistic and all do what we can do and that is, "make good trouble" in any and all ways possible against Trumps authoritarian takeover
Note the risk of an even simpler message: despite shutting down the government (and putting the American people at risk), premiums are spiking & markets are breaking down - because Democrats are prioritizing partisan conflict rather than making the *right* choice.

(There may not happen to be a simply binary choice about healthcare; some state governors didn't extend Medicaid despite subsidy, some have - and are expecting federal subsidy, and none have "skin in the game" when it comes to things like the federal marketplace and further national reform. No one is under any illusion: 73 repeal attempts failed; healthcare is job security - even for politicians.)
Don't THOSE MAGAs who have insurance remember how much documentation they had to present to sign up for insurance?!?! They didn't just call an insurance company and say, "give me insurance." !
Yes. If you want your human rights recognized, if you want to enter the 21st c then definitely turn left. The right will kill you.
Dems don't need to shut down the govt to send this message. All they have to do is point out that that is what you get when you have a Republican majority in Congress. Besides, many of the 15 million recipients affected by the cuts live in red states, where gerrymandering lends them ineffective. Schumer is posturing, and some Dems are already quiting out of fear of a major battle. It is not a battle we can avoid, because our fundamental rights are at stake.
well put.
The Republicans are claiming foul and insisting the shut down is all Schumer's fault. Since the beginning of this current administration the Democrats have had their hands tied with respect to anything happening in our government. What is about to happen to our healthcare system is an abomination. The ability to finally have the power to engage the President and his children must not be wasted. The people's ability to access proper healthcare is in jeopardy, and this can not be allowed to happen. It's time to put our political foot down and make a stand. Toby Keith's hit song, "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)," contains the line, "we'll put a boot in your ass—it's the American way." Hold on Mr. Trump I'll get the K-Y.
No courtesy lube.
Oops, I didn’t see your comment when I made mine. 👍
Brilliant!
Urgent Call to Action:
Call (202) 224-3121 NOW and tell your Senators to Save the Affordable (Obama) Care Act and Medicaid.
The Republicans have forced the government to shut down because they refuse to negotiate with the Democrats who are trying to save our Medical Services.
We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t. If the Government doesn't reopen federal workers and potentially the citizens they serve will face intense hardship. But if the Government reopens millions of Americans will lose their medical services.
Hardships from the shutdown should be recoverable with time. But people will die without their medications or medical care. Think about the children, many who lead happy productive lives because of their life saving medications. Without our insurance, our life expectancy will decrease significantly.
Call your Democratic representatives now and tell them that we support them! Tell them to do whatever they have to do to save our Medical Services!
Call your Republican representatives and tell them to stop kissing their Führer's ass. Demand they restore our Medical Services immediately!
Support the Democrats on this issue. Shame on Democratic Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine supporting the Republicans who refuse to protect our democracy and our human services. Call them and demand they protect our insurance.

Honestly, they can claim what they like. The polls, even the ones rum by conservatives, are all showing that the republicans are going to own this shut down according to the vast majority of Americans. No amount of crying foul will change that for anyone except whatever true believers Trump has left, and even those numbers are in decline.
No K-Y needed! Make it as painful for him as the pain he is inflicting on us.
He doesn’t deserve the K-Y
"insisting the shut down is all Schumer's fault."
Because Schumer caved last time and kept the government open.
They would have blamed the democrats/Schumer no matter what to be fair. Republicans are dishonest no matter what the other side is doing or not doing.
So what? Millions of Americans -- thanks to Doge -- are hurting as a result. And then came the "big ugly bill."
Democrats SHOULD have held steady and been ready and incessantly replayed Trump's own words about the shutdown in 2013 -- which he used to attack Obama's lack of leadership. Over and over and over again. Let them try to blame Schumer.
I don't disagree with what should've been done the first time, but to blame Schumer's past cowardice for the republicans' behavior, which is what you did in your original comment, is a bit naive. They would've blamed the Democratic Party either way. No matter what the party did earlier or how they messaged it or even how they're messaging this shut down wouldn't matter on that front. The republicans would've blamed them and gotten away with it in many respects because maga voters don't consume media that tells them any semblance of the truth. Overall I'm glad that even if it's late, the party is beginning to see that they can't nice their way out of bad Republican behavior. No matter what the party does, they'll get the blame, so they may as well just do the right thing.
You are obviously more concerned with Republican behavior than I am.
Yeah, you're correct, I'm a little concerned given that they run our entire government.
Ouch! That is true and it hurts. The Republicans wanted to shut down the government, and they even fired their speaker of the House. Then Dems fell for Mike Johnson, a real snake, and kept the govt open. Now they, not the Republican will bear the onus. A govt shutdown affects every voter, hence, if you inflict it upon them it must be over an issue that affects all, not just some of them.
Republicans have had their hands tied during the first two years of Clinton and Obama and still managed to get their way. We need more progressive Democrats who are the ones willing to publicly criticize the current administration instead of the majority of centrist Democrats who still believe being bi-partisan will get results for their constituents.
The character differential is a feature, not a bug.
Russell Vought is much more than a sycophant. Russell Vought is the brains behind Trump. Trump is too lazy and ill disciplined to effect the dismantling of democracy so quickly. It is Vought who has achieved the destruction of the institutions which protect us and enable progress. Trump is merely Vought’s mouthpiece who enables a well crafted agenda not of his making.
Russell Vought is an evil, evil small-minded man bent on not just reducing the size of our government, but killing it completely. The republiKKKans want a "pure" white male government. They have somehow convinced themselves that "white = supreme". Nothing could be further from the truth! I've been white all my life and I can tell you that white people who think they're supreme could not be more wrong!
Finally! Someone calling out the real people behind all this hate. Dumpy doesn’t even know what’s happening. They just whisper sweet things into his (undamaged) ear and then make all the calls, decisions and actions, straight from Project 2025. People should stop saying Dumpy’s name and start blaming the real people who are destroying our country. Start screaming “Vought!! Miller!! Bondi!! 🦊 news
entertainment!!! Noem!!!” Trump doesn’t actually exist anymore.
Sir
Trump is simply a stooge for a force bent on destroying democracy. It's the money, always has been. Voters fell asleep long ago, lulled into a complacency of acceptance to being content with entertainment as their source of information. The dangers we face now are enormous and are of our own making. Corporate mass media only compounds the situation with its inane broadcasting. Will our freedoms survive this attack? No one can be certain, but we must not give up. Thank you.
tRumpf, because of his dementia and preoccupation for redecorating and adding a ballroom onto the White House, is not fully in charge or in the know on many things. He’s just the ranting Madhatter mouthpiece. Miller, Vought, and Johnson are running the show.
There are absolutely no brains at work anywhere near our government. None. Either they are sitting on their hands or they have their hands in their pants. Either way no cerebral brain function. Only reptilian brain stem reactivity.
Time for We the People to make our voices heard.
JOIN THE ROAR!!!
There will be a No Kings demonstration on October 18. Spread the word! 👑👑👑👑👑
This No Kings demonstration was scheduled so that We the People can respond to the Republican government shutdown!

If you can't find an event near you start one.

Kathleen, I have asked on this feed, if anyone can think of a really good statement for a sign, I am open to suggestions. My old sign is faded and bent so I wanted to make a new one for October 18. I'd love some input for what I can write on my sign.
What about : GOP KILLS ACA = KILLS 15 MILLION PEOPLE
or : TARIFFS ARE PAID BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
Or : NO FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS = NO FUTURE FOR OUR CHILDREN
or : TRUMP’S TRADE WAR IS KILLING OUR FARMERS AND OUR JOBS
I can find many other slogans, since this administration is aiming at destroying the USA.
These are all great, Schmiegelow! Thank you for the ideas!
Too many syllables
Thanks and courage 😅 we’re with you!
Thank you!
Try “No Billionaires”
WE WON'T GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT!! NO KINGS EVER!!
Absolutely!
CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE
Effective civil disobedience and successful activism require some degree of inconvenience and sacrifice. Strikes and Blackout are the most effective way to initiate change but they come with hardship and sacrifice. People could lose jobs and businesses may close.
But historically we have sacrificed far more. At this point, no one is asking people to walk miles to work every day for a year, endure personal violence or sacrifice their own lives like they did during the first Civil Rights Movement.
Our resistance efforts now are minor in comparison. The longer we wait to resist the more intense our sacrifices become. Above all resistance only works if we stand together. Mature adults are the ones building and leading this New Civil Rights Movement, the ones with knowledge of our history, the ones that fought for equality and remember what it was like before the movement. It seems like young Americans will need to directly feel the pain of the tRump's destructive cuts and illegal executive orders. This tRump nightmare could have been over already if we had united when he first revealed his authoritarian plans. Instead most Americans are sitting back watching our democracy collapse around us. So many more are clueless about the immense evil the tRump has unleashed in our country.
Unfortunately, people in this country don't want to be temporarily inconvenienced in any way and they definitely don't want to make the simplest of sacrifices like stop unnecessary shopping, avoiding traveling, limiting their entertainment!
Right now we have no where near the numbers of people consistently resisting that we need to save our democracy. The tRump is winning the war against our democracy and has begun the initial stages of genocide in America.
We have to decide if it is better to sacrifice some jobs or a few small businesses or do we allow the tRump to privatizing public education, health care and insurance, making it available to only the wealthy. On top of your mortgage, transportation, utilities, cell phone services and everyday essentials can you afford to pay private school tuition for twelve years and then college, medical expenses without insurance, nursing homes for your parents or grandparents? The tRump wants to privatize health insurance too. Say good-by to insurance benefits from work. Insurance is expected to double in price for everyone. Can you afford all of that? If not what will you have to live without?
The tRump has no plan to increase your wages. Do we continue to let the tRump regime, steal our Medical services, medications, food services for our veterans, disabled, children and the elderly. If we don’t resist more people will loose their jobs, homes, medical care, freedom and many more people will die from neglect while the tRump gives much more of our money to his billionaire oligarch friends?
Do we prefer to fight for our democracy or allow the tRump to continue to strip FEMA funds for communities that mother nature destroys, accurate weather alerts and food safety inspections? He has already ended science and medical research for climate change, cancer, vaccines, Alzheimer's and much more.
Would you prefer to have low wages forever, no civil rights, no truthful media, no right to choose what movies, TV shows or music we watch or listen to?
We need to bring down the true leaders of this country, the greedy billionaire oligarchs that fund the campaign of politicians that support the causes that make them richer. The only thing they care about is money. We need to hit them where it hurts - their bank accounts.
In order to do that and when possible we must stop giving them our money. We need to stop buying their products and using their services. We need to stop spending money unnecessarily. We need to make the oligarchs start paying the same taxes we do and they need to start paying their employees fair wages.
We need to support small businesses instead. Imagine if everyone stopped supporting the oligarchs owned national chain businesses and started shopping locally owned small businesses and restaurants instead. That's how we build our local economy.

YES!
Already signed up in our area! Come one come all. Let's stand together on 10/18!!
Trump has made sure that construction of his new White House ballroom won’t be affected. But the people that run the country, well they are expendable. This is outrageous and there is no one to blame but the republicans. They have the presidency, the House and the Senate.
Our form of government has created this mess we are in today. Democracy has its drawbacks. One is, even an idiot can become president if enough of the wealthier people allow it to happen.
Keith, the fact that that orange turd is more concerned about his stupid ballroom instead of the health care of millions of Americans makes me sick to my stomach! I have been taught not to hate; however, I can loathe and despise! I loathe and despise that man!!!
The fact that the ballroom is a higher priority than the non-wealthy population of the United States shows that Trump is both a pathetic misanthrope and a very sick person.
Totally unfit to be a leader.
Exactly!
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen! It makes ME sick, PEGGY, that he has the audacity to create a new ballroom at OUR White House! What balls!
I blame Führer tRump for all hell on earth. My hate for Führer tRump and his administration from hell grows every second. I can't believe that there is no one in this country who has the power and the balls to slap a pair of handcuffs on this true homegrown, demented, treasonous criminal terror! I hope that the only way to end his reign DOESN'T include another country dropping bombs on us, like we did to end the Dick Traitor in Germany!
We must continue to protest peacefully. To learn simple ways to support the resistance continue reading - https://open.substack.com/pub/onemommy/p/its-up-to-us?r=113nff&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Even a criminal can become President and Supreme Court can grant him immunity. I don’t think we will see this in any democracy.
The Un-United USA has lost it's democracy. We are now under authoritarian rule and most Americans are doing nothing to support the resistance. They seem to be waiting for some other country to start dropping bombs on us like we did to end the evil Dick Traitor in Germany. Führer tRump is spreading hate around the world. He has launched the initial stages of genocide. He has or is -
Threatening our right to free speech and protest.
Annihilating our judicial system and blatantly disregarding direct court orders.
Threatening judges and has begun arresting them and other government officials.
Releasing white verified criminals like, the January 6th insurrectionists and now there is talk about pardoning the cop that killed George Floyd.
He is deporting, detaining and disappearing innocent mothers and children, abducting students and kidnapping men of color without due process including legal green card holders and US citizens - babies!
Has plans to build concentration like camps on military bases on American soil.
Tanking our economy and the world's while we pay multi-millions for his weekly golf vacations and private entertainment.
Turning our allies into enemies and visa versa.
Dismantling our government.
Eliminating our civil liberties.
Discrediting our news outlets or silencing them.
Defunding medical, child and elder care.
Privatizing insurance so only the rich can afford it.
Eliminating our vaccines - children will die without.
Abolishing and defunding our educational system and threatening our universities.
Erasing our history and banning our books.
Eliminating our science and medical research programs.
Eviscerating our weather and climate research. Say good-by to accurate national weather alerts and FEMA disaster relief!
Please feel free to research and verify this information while you still can!
The only hope we have is ourselves. We the People need to peacefully reunite to overthrow the administration from hell! Protest to demand change and stop the madness. Gather your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers and join the Resistance.
Enough is enough with the Democrats vs Republicans. They have all betrayed us. We need a new political party run by representatives of the people. Senator Sanders has a plan that benefit every American even the MAGAts. Watch his YouTube videos or check out BernieSanders.com. For the sake of our families, our care services and our savings accounts give the man a chance to lead us out of this madness.

“Democracy” did not elect the current US government. The government of the USA is a “Representative Plutocracy”.
The ballroom that no one will dance in…
Lea - Very true. The only thing that one might see is that questionable hand job hip sway thing that he does….and that is definitely Not dancing.
Huh? Not sure what you mean, but from the sound of it, I probably do not want to know!
I am just SO INFURIATED that he has had the gall to alter anything at all about the WHITE HOUSE! The bastard just moves in and takes over (EVERYWHERE!)!
Klare - It was just a (apparently bad attempt) joke in reference to how T moves when he thinks he is dancing. He will be the only one thinking that he is dancing in what is a waste of money ballroom. Sorry to all.
That's okay. You know what is SO PATHETIC about Trump? He is trying to get back at his parents for their neglect of him in his early life (most of us eventually give that up as a lost cause), so he's on a lifelong vendetta to do as many harmful, cruel things to others as he can, but all THAT does is bring HIM more of the same, ONLY from EVERYONE ELSE THE WHOLE WORLD OVER!!!
Professor Reich: i HOPE that those who are suffering most will SEE and RESPOND to those politicians who are working hard to protect them and their rights to healthcare, but many MAGA are so brainwashed, they will probably blame biden and become yet more vocal opponents to democracy as they pursue fascism to its bitter end. (that bitter end being the kidnap and murder of thousands of people who are not white, and anyone who dares speak out against the regime. i know i should be optimistic that MAGA will finally come to their senses, but i think we've been down this road a few times too many for us to believe they will vote against rethuglican encuments when the time comes. and "when the time comes" is so far in the future that the MAGA base will have forgotten what life was like before the orange rapist got into power.)
oh, and don't let me get distracted by this shutdown: RELEASE THE TRUMPSTEIN FILES NOW!!
Is there is a copy of them lying around somewhere? What if they suddenly appeared on websites everywhere? Time for a non violent guerrilla action. It's not leftist to oppose tyranny.
What’s wrong about “leftist”? When the “rightists” are wrong, leftist is what’s left.
We all know the MAGAs are bad but there are gullible people who believe that both sides are bad. Critical thinking has said goodbye. The media have been contributing to this disaster. Without them Trump may not have won in 2016 and they continue to do him and the republicans favor. I have never felt so helpless as I do now.
Consider who owns the mass media.
If you are a Republican and are struggling with the decisions of the current administration - you are not alone.
If you are a friend or family of member of a die hard Republican MAGA supporter - you are not alone.
There's hope and support on Substack's "Leaving MAGA". Watch this interview with its founder.
https://open.substack.com/pub/leavingmaga/p/my-conversation-with-adam-kinzinger?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=113nff
Lots of studies and documentation out there that many red state areas that received specific project funding under various Biden initiatives voted overwhelmingly for tRumpf in 2024 and thought those projects were a result of the hard work of their members of Congress (that voted against them)
There’s a deeper irony here I pin on the republican MAGAs that I hope stays in the forefront of every American’s mind. They are running around yelling “Blame Democrats!” But in reality, for nine months they’ve done everything to bring disaster of epic proportions onto ALL Americans: Even if you don’t depend on Medicaid today, or SNAP, or the thousands of functions now gone in the federal government due to DOGE cuts and further Vought-inspired eliminations *before* the shutdown, you might check yourself with the question, “Am I sure I will *never* need any of those services?” Because that’s what they’ve done: Dismantle services we chose, over a long and incremental period, to pay for with our tax dollars. Maybe not individually, but in a collective democratic-process driven way.
There is no blame question. It is not “Schumer’s fault.” It is DJT, Stephen Miller, Russ Vought, and the clown-show of a cabinet (Bondi, really? Give me a break. Noem? Resident puppy assassin? Nahhh.) that have brought this upon themselves. Enjoy the spa of boiling contempt Americans have developed over your irresponsible, incompetent “governance.” Get Kegstand to bring the beer to your party.
Hell on Earth and How to Stop It
I blame Führer tRump for all hell on earth. My hate for him and his administration from hell grows every second. I can't believe that there is no one in this country who has the power and the balls to slap a pair of handcuffs on this true homegrown, treasonous criminal terror! I don't understand why our current and former Governors, Generals, Judges, Physicians (capable of diagnosing his mental disorders) and our former Presidents along with the support of the people form a coalition and demand his arrest! Next week Generals meeting would be the perfect time. I hope that the only way to end his majesty's reign DOESN'T include another country dropping bombs on us, like we did to end the Dick Traitor in Germany!
Führer MacDonOld tRump has launched the initial stages of genocide in the USA. I'm fuckin’ mad as hell and doing my best to make sure you are all mad too! This is real folks, this is how the Holocaust began. The tRump is the number one threat to America and the world. He has destroyed our democracy, economy and he's stripping us of our civil rights including our right to protest, speak freely and for fair elections.
El Führer is deporting, detaining and disappearing law-abiding immigrants, migrant and essential workers. His evil henchmen are kidnapping innocent citizens including mothers, children, even babies. He is abducting students with visas, green card holders and arresting people of color without due process for the crime of not being white enough. This along with his tariffs are creating a economic crisis. Food and everyday necessities will increasingly becoming more expensive.
The Denomic Destructor of Democracy has declared war on Americans, unnecessarily sending his ICE goons and military into peaceful communities where our children play. These invasions cause fearful tourists and families to stay home. Therefore, weakening the local economy, workers lose jobs, local businesses close and entire communities are at risk of total collapse. It looks like the criminals the imbecile is keeping us safe from are the people that speak against his royal high-n-ass. He also plans to waste our tax money on wars that he is instagating, ICE and building concentration like camps to detain innocent brown people, people born in other countries and people who disagree with him. All the while he is protecting child sex traffickers, unleashing savage homegrown white criminals and pardoning con artists who swindle millions from the poor. Do you feel safer now?
El Führer tRump is supporting and promoting hate and destruction in Gaza, Ukraine, everywhere - even in our own damn country! He says we can't afford to send humanitarian aid to people in need but has plenty of money to give to his billionaire friends. He intentionally had food burned that was meant for children in Gaza. He's is spending our tax payer money on wars against democracy and supporting those who are openly committing crimes against humanity, like the genocide in Palestine.
The Limp Dick Traitor and his regime of evil Republicans passed his Big Brutal Bill which is eliminating the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid, Medicare, Science and Medical Research for vaccines, cancer, Alzheimer's and much more. He wants to privatize insurance so his billionaire buddies wouldn't have to provide insurance benefits to their workers anymore and the oligarchs could get richer by selling us privatized insurance instead. Economists are predicting that this could double the cost of health insurance. Essentially, ending medical services for every one except the very rich. The brutal bill will make it especially hard for women to get get the health care they choose and make it nearly impossible for the elderly to afford nursing care. Can you provide full-time home health care for your ailing parents?
The all powerful wizard of the Oval Office has discredited or silenced our news outlets. He is threatening to control our entertainment & streaming services by choosing what movies, TV shows and music we are allowed to watch and listen to. Do you want to pay for streaming services that only provide fake news and show the tRump recommends?
Poorly educated, Chancellor tRump is threatening our universities, erasing or rewriting history, choosing what subjects can and cannot be taught to students and banning our books. He wants to privatize schools too, which means there won't be free public education anymore. Millions of kids won't get any education because their families won't be able to afford it! Can you afford private school tuition for both your elementary and college kids?
Führer tRump is intentionally tanking our economy and the world's, while we tax-payers spend multi-millions for his weekly golf vacations and private entertainment. It seems to me that the leader of the MAGAts is intentionally trying to obliterate the entire lower class while trying to bring down the middle class. He has no need for the poor especially those who cannot work anymore. Is this the Demonic Dick Traitor's cruel version of extermination? Deprive the poor of food, housing, medical care until they die of neglect. Bringing the middle class down by privatizing education, child and elder care and medical insurance. He has no plan to increase wages. Most of us cannot afford all these extra expenses. None of us should be forced to eliminate any of these human essentials.
WHAT CAN WE DO?
We the American shoppers are the ones with the most power to end this evil nightmare and We Can Do It! All these greedy tyrants care about is money. Hit them in their bank accounts like we did to Tesla, Target and now Disney! We control the economy not the government and not the billionaire oligarchs. The fastest and most effective way to bring down the administration from hell is to BOYCOTT AND STOP SHOPPING. Save your money for housing, utilities, groceries and medical care and life sustaining essential only. Absolutely, no unnecessary spending until we restore our democracy and secure our civil rights. When necessary and if possible, shop small local businesses for food and essentials only.
Fuck the Republicans and the Democrats they all betrayed us. Support Progressives and remove the oligarchs from our government! If you want to earn more money and have access to affordable housing, education, medical, child and elder care - Senator Sanders has a plan that benefits every American and millions of others across the globe. Really listen to his ideals. Then abandon your political party and stand beside Bernie and his Progressives allies, our hope for the future!

Well Said!
Another reason for Dems not to cave on this is the Republican insistence on embedding many, many riders designed to oppress the LGBTQ+ community, from the extremely serious (curtailing adult trans people's access to medical care) to the petty but deeply hurtful (banning Pride flags).
Dems caving on this would send a clear message that they are willing to completely betray one of their most reliable constituencies, and that they are willing to treat the fascist oppression of entire demographics of not only immigrants but also American citizens as an acceptable bargaining chip in their dealings. Who would be next, should the Dems cave on us?
This must not be permitted. I am not optimistic - the Dems often cave on us - but I really don't want to watch my friends die due to government-mandated medical neglect, and that's where we will be if the Dems cave.
If you read this far, PLEASE ask yourself: "Am I OK with being complicit in the removal of queer and trans Americans from American Life?" If not, please call your congressional reps and senators and don't forget to specifically mention the need to protect LGBTQ+ people as well as (of course) immigrants.
“Dems” have been caving for decades. They don’t want to offend their wealthiest sponsors.
*Fight the Oligarchs. They bought and own the evil tRump and his administration from hell.
The oligarchs already get rich hogging the money you earn but now they have found ways to get wealthier by ending our basic human services.
The tRump Administration is defunding and eviscerating our Medical, Science, Emergency, Weather, Care, Research Services and so much more. He is trying to remove protections and even sell our public forests. The Führer is doing nothing to prevent climate change. Say good-by to accurate National Weather Alerts and FEMA disaster relief. Look forward to more of our friends and family developing deadly illnesses and dementia because he's cutting funding for Alzheimer's, Cancer, Vaccines and Infectious Diseases Prevention and Research too.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has slashed funding for these Emergency, Medical and Research Services and more.
~ FEMA Disaster Relief
~ Weather Monitoring & Alerts
~ Emergency Preparedness Programs
~ National Institute of Health
~ Center for Disease Control and Prevention
~ U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
~ Women's Health Programs
~ Free Preventive Healthcare screenings
~ Children's Healthy Start Programs
~ Senior Medical Services
~Food Assistance Programs
~ Food Safety Inspection
~ Public Health Warnings
In an effort to make the billionaire oligarchs even richer the tRump wants to privatize all of our schools, insurance companies, add tolls to more highways, bridges, rest stops, veteran services and much more. Imagine no more free education and paying tolls every time we need to go somewhere? They know we can't afford all of that!
Combine privatization of these services with our lost Medicare, Medicaid, & other Health Care Services millions of Americans will get sick or die! Eliminating the old, weak, sick and poor through needless suffering until death without services that our tax money should be paying for means more money for the greedy rich. Privatizing health insurance, prescription drugs and medical care only for those who can afford it means less Americans and more money for the billionaires.
It's going to take ALL of us to bring down the tRump regime and billionaire oligarchs, who own and rule them.
Enough with the Democrats vs Republicans. You must choose between Democracy and Dictatorship, between Good and Evil, between Love and Hate.
I hope you stand up, choose love, and join the resistance!

100% agreed. As I said, I am not optimistic. But not trying guarantees a bad outcome.
Everybody needs healthcare. Make singlepayer healthcare for all the unifying force against the would be king.
Mmm... yes; however, the rejoinder thus far has been something like "Why would anyone work at Starbucks/Amazon Warehouse/etc. if they have healthcare by default?"...
(Note that South Park's creators didn't decide to have Satan gestating Trump's butt baby - and CEO's delivering a parade of gifts for "da baby" - because of ambiguity about what is being worshiped; crass it may be... but so is populism.)
The United States Government cannot ever Shut down by design, as the States agreed Unanimously to apportion the debts of the Union proportionally, per capita, based upon an enumeration, the same per capita apportionment for representation in the House to determine the debts of the United States, and it’s due on demand, not through raising the debt limit, as even that “national debt” is apportioned equally among the States, not on the backs of the American People to pay through individual federal income taxes, or other unconstitutional federal taxes on individuals and businesses!
The Constitution was designed to address the disparity which existed between the States in their population and wealth by normalizing the States based upon a common factor, each State’s proportion of the aggregate population of the Union, by balancing the legislative process to make laws and to make the cost of membership for each State more equitable, which formed a More Perfect Union.
We have dismantled and circumvented that unanimous agreement to form a More Perfect Union, rendering the Constitution of the United States as a superfluous and meaningless document! That’s the problem we must address today in the United States!
Our Constitution is dead at this point. Will it ever come back to life? Probably not in my lifetime.
When the members of the armed forces live up to their oath to defend the Constitution, the Constitution will prevail.
REMEMBER YOUR OATH
American Generals, Admirals, Warriors and Legislators (current or retired), you are not alone, be the heroes you vowed to be and stand against the biggest national threat to the USA - Führer tRump! He called himself a “war hero,” despite dodging the Vietnam draft. No war hero would slash VA funding and leave out veterans struggling. Cutting Medicaid will leave many more homeless.
Stand with our heroic Governors who have the guts to speak against the tRump and his regime. We are stronger together. The more we rise - the more will rise!
The Denomic Destructor of Democracy has declared war on peaceful communities. You must not follow orders from a lunatic psychopath. You know it's un-American to invade "blue" cities and silence protesters.
Our former Presidents, current and former Governors, Generals, Judges, Physicians (capable of diagnosing his mental disorders), with the support of the people form a coalition and demand his arrest along with his administration from hell!
Our Military and National Guard must also remember their oath to the constitution! Support the resistance, protect the protesters and arrest US Dick Traitor, Führer DonOld tRump!
You did not take an oath to follow a FAKE Commander and Chief. You don't have to obey his orders.
If you need support call 1-877-477-4487.

how can unconstitutional means enable the Constitution to prevail?
To which unconstitutional means are you referring?
military force
All it takes is to re-ordain the States as the Union assembled in a congress as the Supreme Authority in the United States, which is a superfluous, but necessary, act, because we need to be reintroduced to the Union, how it’s assembled and how it functions to determine All Acts and Things the United States may of Right do as a Free and Independent State.
Sadly, we no longer have a Democracy. The constitution and the laws of the land are no longer relevant. The tRump regime is above the law. Führer tRump is a fuckin trouble making idiotic terror!
We are currently losing the war against this criminal Dick Traitor. He's ended our democracy, is rapidly stealing our civil rights and is now threatening America citizens. We are no where near the numbers needed to save our democracy. We need just 3.5% (11 million American protesters and boycotters) of the US population to effectively end the reign of the tRump, his regime of Nazi MAGAts, the ICE Gestapo, the billionaire oligarchs (who hog the money you earn) and his Administration from Hell!
The last mass protests had no where near enough participants. That means we all need to encourage at least three more people to support the resistance and attend the next
Indivisible.org / FiftyFifty.One
No Kings protest on October 18. Learn more at NoKings.org
We the People are the only ones with the power to restore our civil rights, rebuild our democracy and elect a real President!
In the meantime use 5calls.org (24 hours) to tell your representatives to end the Big Brutal Bill and restore our Medical Research and Services.
The tRump is planning to give more tax breaks (which our tax money pays for) to the greedy rich oligarchs. They in turn invest our tax payers money into technology companies that, invent robots to replace humans workers. Oligarchs, like Amazon's Bezos make millions sending rich people on ten minutes space rides and the Musk Rat wants to colonize Mars. I don't know about you but I can live without robots, space rides and I have no desire to live on Mars! I would rather our children grow up in affordable homes and attend good schools. I believe we should all get fair wages and quality medical care. I would like to see our elders get quality care for life without bankrupting themselves. Wouldn't you?

Please forward, share and talk about this message with your family, friends, colleagues even strangers to if given the opportunity. Post and repost it on your social media accounts! It's going to take ALL of us to end this nightmare!
The opponents to your ideals have already demonstrated their willingness to resort to violence, murder, assassinations, “disappearances”, unjust incarcerations.
The Demented Bastard and his War Dog wants to deploy the US armed forces against you and the people of the USA.
How prepared are you to confront the stormtroopers?
Darrell, you are promoting the Project 2025 agenda, which, at the essence, is to create a constitution divorced from the human rights proclaimed by the Declaration of Independence, and reaffirmed in the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments.
Absolutely not, that is treason and an act against the United States, which is also a violation of every civil officers oath of office and could have them impeached and prosecuted with the penalties of loss of life, liberty, and property in the common course of law.
I’m a strict constitutional originalist and support the assembly of the States as the Union in a congress, a democracy of the States, and the Supreme Authority in the United States!
Darrell, you are not an originalist, for the simple reason that you cannot go back in time and rewrite the Constitution to your liking. To call that "originalism" is fraud.
The Constitution of the United States is immutable and therefore timeless! I don’t have to go back in time, the Constitution of the United States is required to be in force as the States agree unanimously to adopt!
To quote my old boss, Ross Perot, "It's just that simple."
Ross Perot was an idiot. If you can’t understand that you cannot compete for and win the presidency, I have no respect for you or your opinion!
HAHAHA!
Ross was many things, including a billionaire at a time when billionaires were rare, although he overestimated his power as a lone one.
He was right about the fallacy of NAFTA. He did not predict "the vast sucking sound" of jobs going to China and other parts of Asia, but NAFTA was the gateway drug that addicted many corporate CEOs and boards of directors.
That may be all it takes. Tell that to the masked thugs and their MAGA cheerleaders.
Easier said than done.
"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." ~John Lewis
It does so feel like America is on a sinking ship. I keep thinking of all the the Jews that lost their belonging their homes, their friends and families, their lives because they couldn't believe the rumors about the evils atrocities their denomic Führer had unleashed. What if more Jews had heeded those rumored warnings? More could have been saved.
They only had rumors - we have the internet! Brave people are telling us their stories every day, warning us of what's to come. Should we all be thinking about packing up our belongings, selling our homes and getting out of the USA while we still can. Before we get rounded up and put on a plane to nowhere, never be seen again.
Führer tRump has already said that he wants to detain everyone who opposes him - if you are one of those people you will be at risk someday. He has already initiated the first steps towards genocide in the USA.
What the fuck are you waiting for? Some other country to start dropping bombs on us like we did to end the evil Dick Traitor in Germany.
Americans will die, our Children too, without the emergency, medical and care services his Big Brutal Bill stoled from us.
Do you MAGAts really prefer that your tax money goes to funding war and ICE instead of caring for your American friends and family? If you prefer that way of life, be easy on yourself and move to an already established communist country like Russia and save yourself the trouble of trying to turn America into a dictatorship.
Leave the USA to those of us that prefer peace, progressive democracy and our American diversity.
If by chance there are any MAGA supporters out there who may be feeling a touch of guilt over the loss, pain and suffering endured by people hurt by the tRump regime - you are not alone.
If you are a Republican and are struggling with the decisions of the current administration - you are not alone.
If you are a friend or family member of a die hard Republican MAGA supporter - you are not alone.

precisely
Darrell, not We, but some of us, most notably the Supreme Court. Its textualist reading of the Constitution divorced it from the human rights proclaimed by the Declaration of Independence. The Roberts Court has turned the Constitution into a legal document protecting business interests above all.
Human rights were not proclaimed by the Declaration of Independence, as the actual declaration as published was for the Rights of a Free and Independent State with the Full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do All other Acts and Things which Independent States may of Right do, rights each ceded to for the Union, a Free and Independent State, and each States equal vote in the Senate is the constitutional recognition of the residual sovereignty of each State for the Power to “determine” All Acts and Things which the United States may of Right do as a Free and Independent State!
Nothing in any of our founding documents relates to persons as individuals and only concern the States as members of the Union!
Darrell, do read the Declaration, because you seem to be parroting somebody's misinterpretation of it. The rights proclaimed are: to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness of each human being on the planet, for "we are created equal." Do you have problem with that?.
Absolutely not, here’s the last paragraph which states the declaration as it was published:
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.
The rulers of the states were the wealthy landowning elites of their day. They didn’t care about human rights of slaves, servants, females, or indigenous peoples.
Destroy the Pillars!
They say we should go after the pillars that support the tRump. The Justices, the Republicans, the Cabinet members and the Administration from Hell. Don't give them any peace! Shame them! Call them out everywhere they go. Plan Sit-ins near their offices! Call for their impeachment! Call for their arrest!
We all know they are preparing to cheat their way through another election and we can't vote out a Supreme Court Justice. Most Americans aren't even aware that we have lost our democracy and we are doing nothing to support the resistance. Even those of us who are aware that our children and grandchildren will not grow up without the civil rights we had are not making any real sacrifices.
I really want you all to prove we wrong. Only a few are really supporting the resistance. Mostly older people who already fought for our democracy and know that the US is regressing towards life without our civil rights. Don't let this happen. America Speak Up! Stand Up and Do Something! What the fuck are you waiting for? Some other country to start dropping bombs on us like we did to end the evil Dick Traitor in Germany.
The tRump has begun the process of Genocide in the USA. We have already lost our democracy! Americans of every color are dieing, our Children too, without the emergency, medical and care services the tRump's Big Brutal Bill stoled from us. More cuts are coming. His ICE henchmen are picking up people of every color, citizens too. The tRump is already threatening to incarcerate every one who opposes him. Führer tRump has plans to send more of his ICE goons into more of our neighborhoods and build concentration camps in every state.
Do you MAGAts really prefer that your tax money goes to funding war and ICE instead of caring for your American friends and family?
If by chance there are any MAGA supporters out there who may be feeling a touch of guilt over the loss, pain and suffering endured by people hurt by the tRump regime - you are not alone.
If you are a Republican and are struggling with the decisions of the current administration - you are not alone.

Please spread the word about these ongoing Anti-tRump & Fight the Oligarchs Resistance efforts. Here are some e-posters to screenshot and share…
Do us a favor and write down every thing you think you are doing to bring down the evil demon in the White House. And then compare it to the list linked below. Then tell us here on Substack what you were willing to sacrifice and how that has worked for you and your family.
Most of you have already stopped reading and most will never touch the link to open the list. And many of those that open the list will never share the list or talk about it.
I never thought I would be grateful that I will never have grandchildren but I am. My blood line will end with my children. I fight for yours. But I am starting to wonder if their own families won't fight for them maybe they are not worth fighting for. Sorry but my fire is starting to flicker.
When billionaires rule, Plutocracy prevails.
How is plutocracy established in the United States and by whom? Plutocracy, oligarchy, and authoritarianism are not Republican Forms of Government, which is required in the United States as established by Article 4 Section 4 of the Constitution of the United States!
So I ask again, How are these forms of government we are complaining about established and by whom, because they are not Ordained and Established by the Constitution of the United States?
The vast monetary resources of the plutocrats enables them to “influence” members of all three branches of the US government.
The billionaires and mega-millionaires own most of the mass media— radio, television, cable, Hollywood movies, newspapers, magazines, etc. They use their media to control the narrative.
Most Americans don’t follow the media of other countries. Most MAGA-cult Americans cannot afford to immerse themselves in the cultures of other countries. Most have lived their entire lives in geographical isolation.
Ask any random ten Americans to explain Socialism, Communism, Capitalism, and Democracy. I have asked many dozens. With the exception of a few professors who specialize in those fields of study, the typical random American says something like “Capitalism and Democracy are good” and “Socialism and Communism are bad” without any elaboration.
Some of the “smart” answers include China and Russia and the old USSR torture people or force them to work as slaves.
That is totally unconstitutional! Properly assembled, money cannot influence how our government is assembled and operated, or the policy made and agreed to, in a democracy, or any democratic or republican form of government, the monied interest are minorities!
Nevertheless, the “money” is indeed influencing legislators. Elections and apparently some of the courts. And, the Supreme Court has decreed that the proffering money is equivalent to expressing speech, protected by the First Amendment.
Why are having difficulty understanding that the system is designed to not have influence, especially by money, that’s why they choose a Republican Form of Government!
I respect your idealism.
Right! “My idealism”. These are not my ideas, nor my interpretations! If you put any of my comments into the AI Analysis Bot of your choice, it will tell you that these were the arguments made at the time of drafting the Constitution of the United States to get the States to agree to adopt these “ideas” and principles of collective decision making.
Keep trying, you may actually learn something!
All members of the armed forces are asked to swear the oath to defend the Constitution and the people of the USA against all enemies foreign and domestic. This complies with the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
The US military service academies teach their students about the possibility of rogue elements seizing control of Congress and the White House. When civil discourse fails, military force becomes necessary.
What is remarkable is that the War Between the States has been the only instance of major military intervention in the USA.
Yes, “the constitution” they are swearing to defend is the assembly of the States as the Union in a congress, not the document which ordains and establishes the assembly of the States in a Congress as the Union!
The document is the unanimous agreement to ordain and establish, the document cannot be ordained and established!
They didn’t give the right of voting to anyone, as only the States have a right to vote in the Federal Government, but they did give the right to be counted to every person depending on their condition in our society, counted as 1 whole person and 3/5 of a person for All other persons, which included women and children, for representation to be apportioned to their State based upon that number.
When the Slaves we’re freed, that number went from 3/5 to 1 woke person overnight, and the States were required to count every person as a free person and apportion representation according to that number in the State’s Most Numerous Legislative Branch and to form the State’s Representative Delegation to the Federal Legislature, to form an exact representation of ALL THE PEOPLE of the state. But those white men almost 100 years devised a plan to exclude freed slaves, women, and children from that representation, it’s called competitive assembly based upon party affiliation, “Jim Crow”, which gave them the power to determine who would be representing the State in Congress and power and control in congress based upon majority party affiliation, no matter how many votes are cast by whom, or for whom, the parties, who are the agents of the economic elite, are still in control of how policy is made and by whom.
You need to get your history into its proper context!
Thanks for the explanatory minutia. Bottom line: approximately 3% of the population was “allowed” to vote for representatives; not for legislation. That 3% included the wealthy elites.
Today, the most powerful elites are the top 0.001% that lead the plutocracy.
Actually the Billionaires in the United States are 0.00025% of the population and are entitled to an equal proportion of representation and influence over policy! However, through political parties the increase their influence unconstitutionally to 100%.
That’s why political parties cannot participate in our government or how it’s assembled!
Political parties are not defined in the Constitution. Yet, they exist.
The Supreme Court has decreed that money = speech. Those with the most money have the loudest voices.
They exist unconditionally, and there is nothing the Supreme Court can do to change that fact! The Supreme Court is only ordained with the authority to resolve conflicts and disputes between the States and to adjudicate petitions for redress of grievances when properly made laws in a properly assembled legislative institution disenfranchise, or otherwise disproportionately affect, one or more States, that’s what it means to establish, the jurisdiction of the ordained authority must be specified!
The Supreme Court has no power and authority to interpret the Constitution of the United States!
Tell that to the Supreme Court.
Wrong! The requirement is to form an exact representation of the population assembled as the most numerous legislative branch of the State Legislature, so it was expected that 1/6 of the population would vote as the qualified electorate for that purpose, but it’s just a random sampling, and the representative density determines how well that requirement of an exact representation is met, which has to be changed depending on the size of the population being represented, but it definitely cannot be determined by competitive partisan elections which will not result in a representation of the Population.
I know math is not most people’s strong suit, but this is straight out of ratios, proportions, and percents, which most people have in math class by the 5th grade!
Nice theory.
The wealthy white men who wrote and adopted the Constitution didn’t give the “right” of voting to slaves, indentured servants, women, indigenous people, or anyone who didn’t own land. Basically, only 3% of the population were allowed to vote for representatives. No one other than the representatives was empowered to vote for/against any legislation.
So, the government of the USA started with affluent “leaders” and has remained so through today. However, the difference in the magnitude of the wealth of the elites versus that of the poor and working classes has been amplified through a combination of time and compound “interests”.
The plutocrats have been able to “support” — or bribe —politicians who vote in favor of the interests of plutocrats. Plutocrats own the majority of the mass media. Plutocrats own a majority of the Supreme Court.
There is no democracy, and never was, by design.
No, that’s why there is the requirement of a Republican Form of Government, to neutralize any influence based upon wealth or property! Even if the State was controlled by the monied elite in a democratic assembly of the Articles of Confederation, the had to immediately change once the Constitution of the United States was ratified by All the States for adoption.
That is the sole reason for Article 4 Section 4 of the Constitution of the United States, to force the States to form an exact representation of ALL THE PEOPLE of each State assembled as each State’s Most Numerous Legislative Branch as a condition of membership in the Union!
The government under Trump is a wreck and has been, as you say, Mr. Reich, ever since Trump took office. But that’s exactly how he wants it and exactly what Vought has been working toward all this time. A government shutdown now is, for them both, a kind of victory.
Correct, Constance. That is what they want. From abroad, it looks extremely bad (as it is). Our world is in a very bad place, and we hope for a return to decency in the US.
A Pyrrhic victory unless you're a flaming fascist or sociopath (whcih Vought arguably is).
Yes
Call it what it is, the Big beautiful Bill of bullshit.
it’s a Bill of Corruption
How about
Trump's ᗺig ᗺackassward ᗺoondoggle
???
As with everything done by the #TrumpMuskMillerProject2025Cabal, the goal is maximum weaponization of whatever power they have.
This is turbocharged of course by Trump's willingness to break the law, ignore honor, and do harm to governmental function.
And economic harm is the goal of their #ProSTRIFE agenda. The more despair we feel, the more delight they do.
They have no qualms over #SquanderingAmericasGreatness. That's just a necessary byproduct of billionaire enrichment.
Their end goal is to completely destroy the federal government so that billionaires will be able to pick up the pieces for pennies on the dollar and privatize everything.
If we don’t put up serious opposition, we’re going to be forever screwed .
That’s Plutocracy.
I am from the UK 🇬🇧 and honestly, one of the main reasons I love reading pieces like this (v well written btw) is that it calms my nerves about the state and the mindset of America/Americans! To know there are still rational minds out there, who believe what their eyes are telling them, is reassuring. I can’t imagine what it’s like being under such a ridiculous presidency. But the way Nigel Farage is moving, i may have a taste of it myself soon. If Trump sustains and Farage gets in, I suggest we start our very own substack republic. Imagine the flag entries and the well written treaty 😩
I envy you. Once his term ends, 47 can be denied entry into your country for the rest of his life, despite the golf courses, because of his status as a convicted felon. We’re stuck with him.
Firstly, I love that you refuse to his his name and secondly, I’m sorry. The sad story is, if there was an election in the UK tomorrow, we’d have Farage as our leader and he’d do anything his sycophantic little brain could muster to allow 47 into our country. Populism is dividing and conquering
Amen!
“because of his status as a convicted felon.”
By super Sovietising your joke “justice” system you’ve rendered “convicted felon” meaningless, as you did with Lord Black.

If you REALLY prefer Sir Keir Stabber’s system as manifest above to Nigel, you’re hopeless, and certainly unqualified to comment on the Donald.
You’re believing propaganda. I a really live under starmers system and know that free speech exists in this country. also we talk of free speech yet you’re saying whether I’m qualified to comment? I’m free to comment.
„you’re saying whether I’m qualified to comment? I’m free to comment.”
Of course. But your attempts to say free speech exists in the UK brand you a total idiot, maybe not even rising to the midwit level.
I am free to laugh, and you are free to disagree.
JD Vance needs to hop over to Europe every month and repeat his February speech, plus ask why they should be protected from Пхуйлотин.
If free speech didn’t exist in the uk then I would have been arrested by now. May I ask, are you based in the uk? Then if not, your views are totally redundant because they’re likely based in twitter or social media. Free speech very much exists my friend. Otherwise i wouldn’t be allowed to say that trump, Farage, Tommy Robinson, and the likes are total charlatans, obstinate twats, dumb, attempting seeking dimwits, pushing a divisive agenda that means nothing more than a popularity contest. You suggest JD Vance should come here yet this is a man who hated Trump before he got to be his right hand man, is it that wilted ? That flimsy? Pick your icons wisely.
> f free speech didn’t exist in the uk then I would have been arrested by now.
No, because your „opinions” are all in agreement with Sir Keir Stabber’s.
> May I ask, are you based in the uk?
Not exactly, Canada, actually, but I was born in the UK and lived there until my early twenties. I still have family there, from Devon to Shetland and Arisaig to Crouch End, and I used to go back frequently. I may no longer do so, though.
> Then if not, your views are totally redundant because they’re likely based in twitter or social media.
Yours are, actually, because I check the Grauniad every day (it was through the Grauniad that I found this substack), and I see you’ve added nothing whatever to the all-too-common Grauniadofcom miasma.
> Free f free speech didn’t exist in the uk then I would have been arrested by now.
Your whole schlock reminds me of the old Soviet joke:
Reagan: I can walk up to the Capitol and yell: the US government is a bunch of corrupt racist thugs!
Gorbachev: I can walk up to the Kremlin and yell: the US government is a bunch of corrupt racist thugs!
> Otherwise i wouldn’t be allowed to say that trump, Farage, Tommy Robinson, and the likes are total charlatans, obstinate twats, dumb, attempting seeking dimwits, pushing a divisive agenda that means nothing more than a popularity contest.
Well, the above are all Sir Keir Stabber and the Grauniad’s favourite targets for criticism, so you’re just echoing the party line.
Your rhetorical resources are as limited as those of Sharia-enforcer wannabe Sadiq Kan(amahoundmujarradnaakihanzajaahil).
Try aiming some criticism at the cross-channel invasion of the UK (talk of protecting the inviolability of Ukraine’s borders is laughable when the UK can’t even control the Channel, for the first time since 1639) and the outright treason of the contemptible monasteriodissolvendum English legal establishment. Actually go to a Tommy Robinson function and get him to sign one of his books for you. I have. I also bought a T shirt at that function saying F 🍁 🇮🇱 K Hamas and wore it (later that day I found myself the only Westerner in a crowd of Mahoundis with a liberal proportion of dalek suits).
If Doreen Lawrence can be appointed to the Lords there’s no reason to delay Tommy’s appointment any longer - Britain’s last genuine working class hero.
He’s stood up to the same „find me Tommy Robinson” „legal” onslaught as the Donald, without the latter’s comparatively larger resources.
> You suggest JD Vance should come here yet this is a man who hated Trump before he got to be his right hand man, is it that wilted ?
He saw the light. I wouldn’t have picked the Donald myself, but he’s right on the issues. Especially involving Germany.
> Pick your icons wisely.
I have.

You are a lost cause. You’ve pedalled every bit of propaganda these guys have spewed. Sharia enforcer 😂 😂 I live in London and let me tell you, there is no sharia law. And the fact you believe that tells me everything. The fact you think Stephen Yaxley Lennon is a working class hero also tells me even more. You write with the air of someone who thinks they’re smart but in actuality, you just echo the utter dross that these people come out with. You don’t even live in the UK currently and you’re telling me that Sadiq Kahn pushes for sharia law. Actually laughable. I’m living in the lies that you’re spreading and I can tell you right now, it’s not happening. I can say FUCK starmer and his entire party, and I’m not going to get arrested. All I did, actually, was give my opinion on a country that I live in. Yet here you are, a strange old Canadian telling me about two countries he doesn’t even live in? Let me guess, you think Britain will be an Islamic country soon as well hahaha. It’s people like you Robert, that grease this fascistic wheelhouse and keep it going. But you simply aren’t worth the time or energy of trying to convince you otherwise. You’re too deep in the quagmire of the free speech brigades nonsense.
“But the way Nigel Farage is moving, i may have a taste of it myself soon.”
You say that like it’s a bad thing.
If someone did this over in the UK, we would all be on the streets in such numbers that the government would be forced to take note. I would join them even though I'm in my mid 70s. In France there would be riots and massive protests. One thing dictators fear is the public coming for them and there being nothing the security forces can do about it.
In the US government is like an abusive parent, we are all trying to get by on our own in competition with our siblings…. The corporations take advantage of this by posing as solution providers with tiered access.
In other countries, young people are more involved because they aren’t already accumulating debt for their education. Here they might lose a lot by rebelling against the abusive system.
Are Americans are too “nice” to rebel?
American's don't even know they need to rebel.
All true and scary AF. But it would be even scarier if the Democrats hadn't gotten up on their hind legs and pushed back.
