Once upon a time, another emperor had one of those. Called a Praetorian Guard. The emperor whom they were protecting seems completely sane compared to tRump.
Sign up today and spread the word. Only we the people, are the last line of defense. To reclaim our democracy, we must face an uncomfortable truth: we must halt the engine that fuels this regime. We must, together, choose to disrupt the very systems it relies upon. This means a collective act of non-cooperation. It means temporarily stopping the flow of productivity that empowers those who seek to undermine us. It means, for a time, accepting financial pain. I understand the gravity of these words. I know the fear and uncertainty that such a prospect evokes. Families will struggle. Businesses will face hardship. But I ask you: what is the cost of losing our democracy? What is the price of living under a system where our rights are eroded, our voices are silenced, and our future is dictated by a few? That cost, my friends, is far greater and far more enduring than any temporary economic pain we might endure. Think of those who came before us – who risked everything, who shed blood and treasure, to establish and preserve this nation. They endured famine, war, and unimaginable sacrifice for the promise of a free society. Are we, in this generation, less capable of defending that legacy? This is not about surrender. This is about strategic withdrawal of our energy and resources from a system that has become weaponized against us. By stopping our collective productivity, we starve the regime of its power. We deny it the resources it needs to perpetuate its control. We create an undeniable crisis that forces a reckoning. This will be painful. There is no sugarcoating it. But we are a resilient people. We are ingenious. We will organize. We will support each other through community, through shared resources, and through the unbreakable bonds of our common purpose. We must prepare for this pain, knowing that it is the necessary path to a greater good. The choice before us is stark: a brief, intense period of shared hardship for the promise of a free future, or a slow, agonizing slide into authoritarianism with consequences that will echo for generations. Let us rise to this challenge. Let us stand together, united in our resolve. Let us choose freedom, no matter the cost. Our democracy, our future, depends on it. God bless America!
I fear we are not ready for this fight. It will turn into a war. trump cannot afford to lose the house in the 2026 elections and will do anything to prevent it. Right now they are using voter suppression to take away voting rights of people. If that doesn't look like enough, he will declare some type of emergency and stop the elections. He will be desperate because if investigations of his actions are ever done, he will end up in prison. He has been abusing his power since he came back into office.
The democrats are not prepared for the scorched earth type policy the republicans will wage. Nor is the media who still do bothsiderism.
Maybe you should start paying attention to Lev Parnas, Malcolm Nance and Michael Cohen so you will hear how truly dangerous the regime is.
Trump is just a puppet to be on TV which he loves. He's mentally demented but it's the crew that put project 2025 together and they make all decisions behind closed doors. The media can't report these things because the corporations will have their FCC license revoked. Realize they are playing the same game Russia has for years. So fight for our democracy and stop being afraid 😨
I agree that the project 2025 people are the force behind everything. They've been planning for this for years. trump may be a problem for them because of his narcissism and mental problems. As long as they control him, it's ok but they never know when he'll go completely insane because, like it or not, he is the one with the power of the government. I suspect they'd like to be rid of him and get Vance in because they completely control Vance.
Forget the mainstream media. They are 💯 % compromised and follow the orders of their oligarch owners.
The Dems are dealing with tremendous inertia throughout the organization. They have historically supported the status quo and refuse to empower the young to lead. So we have stodgy old farts like Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin “in charge.”
Hard to take the Dems seriously when the nation’s biggest crisis is failing to generate a credible response.
It's ironic how things change. Rush Limbaugh used to refer to it as the "lamestream media," back in the day when networks and the very few national web news organizations were run by professional journalists. You are correct, today they are all owned by MBA's whose only concern is the B-School Creed: Bottom Line!
Modern "news" reminds me of an old TV commercial for some small salsa company, aimed at some corporate competitor. A bunch of obvious Yse-men sitting around a conference table and at the head, the "boss" says: "Gentlemen, should we manufacture ovenmits or salsa?"
I mainly agree with you but there are dems who are fighting. I point out AOC and the squad, Chris Murphy, Maxwell Frost and a few others. Unfortunately, the leadership, as you pointed out, are not at all ready and will get eaten alive.
Oregon’s 2 Senators, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, have been on the front lines since Day 1. They are amazing! There is no doubt they are fighting with all the strength they have.
What we are missing is unification. The Dems are splintered, the Republicons are in lock-step…driven by their fear of Shitler and their greed lust.
I hate to say this but it could take a major terrorist attack before questions are asked about this massive diversion of funds to ICE. We’re ripe for one. I do think there are some proactive steps we can take now.
1. Call your state’s attorney general to complain about men with masks and no badges roaming American streets. Demand no masks be worn, identification be clear, and warrants be shown. Protest at their offices and invite the local media or document it yourself to send to media.
2. Contact local law enforcement demanding the same and asking the hard questions of what their role is in these situations.
3. Contact anyone locally and federally to voice concern.
4. Attend immigration hearings to bare witness and as a silent protest and support to families.
5. If you speak Spanish document the stories. We need faces of these people which we don’t have much of now to help the American public see the reality of the situation. Give media these stories.
6. Download the new app ICEBlock on your phone. It alerts you if ICE is your area.
7. Form a local text chain in your community to inform each other that allows people nearby to immediately descend on the scene of these arrests. This does work and I’ve seen several stories where ordinary citizens immediately coming together chased so called ICE agents away.
8. Protest and demand release of those held in custody. This also worked in my state in the case of a law abiding man in the country for 15 years.
9. God forbid, if you’re in a situation where small children are involved. If possible take charge of the children and get contact information of who can be called to take the children from you. Many of these little kids are American citizens and can’t be legally taken.
10. Report suspicious men in masks to your local police immediately. Many of them are not actual agents. They are bounty hunters, vigilantes, and common criminals. They endanger us all. If it is safe for you to do so take pictures on your phone to give local police.
11. Write letters, protest, make calls,do whatever you feel you can personally do to stop this madness. It’s going to be up to us.
I’ve been calling my Congress people for everything, and now it will be to demand that these thugs take off their masks and show their badges and their badge numbers for identification. That’s the least that they can do and that our members of Congress can force them to do 🤞🏼
Know your rights, no badge, no ID, no warrant and fully masked? They are bounty hunters, scream and ask the people around you to block them, video and stand by your side. That's already happening in many towns. FIGHT, NO FEAR .
Yes, if they’re deporting millions of people, why do they need billions of dollars to construct concentration camps? Who are they going to send there? Democrats and journalists and dissidents? Or maybe they aren’t deporting people, they’re sending them to the camps to be used as slave labor?
Anyone who posts anything Scump don’t like will be sent to these concentration camps.
Think about this a little. With all the cuts Scumps stooges are making, how safe are we from a nuclear strike? Putin has threatened a nuclear strike several times, especially in the last 3 yrs. Would Scump and his traitors allow this?……hmm.
It would doubtless be deeply emotionally satisfying for him, but even he understands that the great metropolises are the cash cows of the nation. Of course, by destroying the universities and cutting edge research, he is harming them economically. But it’s a bit slower bleed than a nuke.
American democracy is in the grave. ICE's job is to bury it.
Donald has his own protection force now.
Once upon a time, another emperor had one of those. Called a Praetorian Guard. The emperor whom they were protecting seems completely sane compared to tRump.
Remember what happened to that first guy?

What Trump is doing with national security has got to be deliberate and intentional but to what end?
OK Trump is an sick motherf*cker and we need to stop him from ruining our democracy.
You all really think we will have a midterms election, well think again

A cyberattack maybe, but I doubt it. Russia 💕 us now.
I think Donny would let Vlad nuke a blue city/state in a heartbeat.
It would doubtless be deeply emotionally satisfying for him, but even he understands that the great metropolises are the cash cows of the nation. Of course, by destroying the universities and cutting edge research, he is harming them economically. But it’s a bit slower bleed than a nuke.
