So sick of being told to wake up. I am awake.. I vote. I protest. I donate. I call my reps. If there is more that I can do without being shot or arrested, I will do it. But give us some freaking organizers.
Bull puckies. Democrats are doing a fine job. Didn't come roaring out of the gate, but now? Or are you just not aware of it? JB Pritzker, Gavin Newsom, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders (yes, I know he lists himself as an "Independent"), Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff, Pete Buttigieg, Jim McGovern, Amy Klobuchar, Elissa Slotkin, Maxwell Frost, Ro Khanna. I could go on; but you say they are not organized? They are showing up and holding town halls in all the red districts that the adjudicated rapist and Praise God Johnson told the MAGAts not to bother with and those town halls are packed with people who vote. They are organized enough for Joni Ernst to decide to not run. They are organized enough to win two special elections in Iowa. Did you know that is a solid red state? They are organized to have more than one solid candidate to go against the pearl clutcher herself, Susan Collins. They are organized enough to throw one helluva lot of light on the most corrupt state in the union ,Texas and make them look like the malignant state government that they are.
Where have you been? What have you been doing? Or is it just more fun to complain?
Well said but it just feels so bad. It’s not just a matter of complaining it’s that it feels just hopeless. What you say does give hope but not one day goes by where there is not some other offense against our democracy and our people. Keep encouraging us who feel hopeless. Thank you
Exactly! I’m wondering if they are telling us to wake up because e keep telling our Congressmen/women to do something. I get it. We all need to do something. Neither of us can do it alone. But we need to know that the DNC is working on an organized plan that can unify us. Right now we are all over the place. There’s the conservative Dems, the centrists, and the far left Dems. If we aren’t careful, we’ll just fight ourselves. We have to realize that we are going to have to come to a meeting point in order to be able to move forward as a party. Usually a meeting point is in the middle. Maybe the extremes-left and right- will need to work on things at the state level. But the Democratic Party, which is supposedly working on Project 2029, better really be thinking outside the box and really be putting some substance and thought into this plan. The Heritage Foundation has been working on Project 2025 for probably well over a decade or two. So we had better be coming up with a substantial plan, with steps!

Do you know who has been disappeared from your community this month? Who in your town lost their ACA subsidy next year? I did. I live in Washington state. The letters are going out. A lot you can do, Friend.
Just throwing this out there… I am not like this but is it survival of the fittest? Take away vaccines, food, medical care. Only the wealthy will be able to get everything they need… oh yes…. And the politicians
The Nazis used the term “UNNÜTZE ESSER” which means useless eater. It was heavily tied into their Arian superiority ideology and eugenics philosophy. But beyond strictly propaganda and ideology there was a practical purpose of securing and hoarding of resources.
It sure is starting to look like what you describe. It hasn’t hit most of us, but it’s like the proverbial frog in the pot of increasingly warm water slowly getting boiled.
The more extreme measures keeps that foolish, fickle base interested. It’s known as “throwing red meat to the base.” Unfortunately for us, it’s addictive.
RFK Jr believes in all those kooky conspiracy style medical treatments and trump only cares that it might cause a distraction for his failures in general and Epstein in particular
How bad is it getting for JD Vance, Peter Theil, Stephen Miller and Russel Vought? How bad is it getting for the Supreme Court? How bad is it getting for project 2025? How bad is it getting for Vladimir Putin, who is running your country? Trump was their useful idiot. They don’t need him anymore. Just like they don’t need you anymore. All they need is your obedience and compliance. And Americans seem to be more than happy to hand it over as they have been quite silent, preferring to mentally masturbate on social media rather than taking any effective action. Project 2025 is humming along quite nicely..
Cheeto: The Putin Ass Kisser, Dictator, Traitor, and National Security Risk
The Christian Nationalist Movement/Nazi/GOP told Americans what direction they wanted to take the country in 2024 in part through the widely publicized Project 2025 As Vance’s buddy Curtis Yarvin has said, “the country should get over its dictatorphobia”, Cheeto’s actions actually have gone well past the Cheeto moniker of simply dictator
With Cheeto’s obvious Putin ass kissing in Alaska the most recent insider reports from Lev Parnas indicate that it’s going to get a lot worse and establish Cheeto as a full blown traitor to the country….a 21st century Benedict Arnold Mainstream media(MSM) will never contextualize this but now Cheeto is not only ready to invite a international criminal to the States to watch to the FIFA World Cup but also willing to lift sanctions on Cheeto’s motherland Russia so it will make it easier to fight Ukraine
These kinds of deplorable, disgusting, and traitorous actions need to be called out for what they truly are Why aren’t we willing to call Cheeto who he is?? Cheeto’s a traitor to the country and the office POTUS itself has become a national security risk
When the Felon goes to his just reward? There will be dancing in the streets. With the percentages that you just gave, if you think this country will go into deep mourning? Think again. The movement to take this country back will go into overdrive. As for the "techbros". Who? They have shown they could f*ck up an ant farm. Once the adjudicated rapist is gone? An awful lot of folks had better be lawyering up with the best criminal attorneys they can afford. And the bedbug? Aka JD Vance? He is loathed, hated, and despised. He was disliked in the Senate, and not everyone's buddy in Ohio. He lies, he is incapable of doing anything else. He lies. He gets caught in his lies and he isn't the carney the Felon is, no charisma so he's just a liar. He may hold down the position, but he won't be able to do a bloody thing, except try to avoid the incoming. His best defence from being tossed out? Praise God Johnson. The very thought of that insect being the President? Is enough to make even the most devout Christian reconsider religion.
It's not hopeless. It's exhausting and time consuming. Democracy is hard work. We've been lucky, we had to fight this hard since WWII. Even then, it wasn't on our shores. Too many of us have forgotten that democracy is not a parlor game, it's not charades. There's no guessing as to what is being done. We see the tyranny, we have to fight it.
Look at it as "muscle memory," i.e. tucked away in that part of our brains that stores all those civics lessons about how to maintain a free society that is for all of us - not just the chosen few. Those memories haven't been activated in quite awhile. Like any muscles that has been allowed to lie fallow. At first, it is difficult and painful, then they are awakened, those muscles get stronger and flex more easily. That's what's happening. It's about showing up at rallies, creating posters and signs, writing to your Congress reps, or better yet, calling them. For some reason, the phone calls carry more weight.
Remember after 9/11 the admonition, "see something, say something"? That admonition is even more important now, if not more so than it was then. This kind of observance can't take a holiday; it's an ever present situation. When we come out on the other side? And we will come out on the other side. We must never our guard down again.
So sick of being told to wake up. I am awake.. I vote. I protest. I donate. I call my reps. If there is more that I can do without being shot or arrested, I will do it. But give us some freaking organizers.
Thank you for saying exactly what I have been thinking. Dems are not doing anything to organize people in a powerful way. How do we mobilize them!?!

Why is Trump (via RFK Jr. ) banning the Covid vaccine from New Mexico and two other states? Pharmacies and Doctors can’t get the new Covid vaccine.
He wasn’t done killing people the first time? 🤷♀️

Because they want people to die
Trump wants all power...even over life and death over every citizen ... especially those who fight back.
