Trump didn’t “change course.” He was always planning to demolish the entire East Wing.

He may end up demolishing the whole damned thing.

We know we need a series of general strikes and for this to go well unions, universities, governors, mayors, business owners, hospitals all have to sign on. Are these groups being invited into the alliance? This does not require a sound system just for everyone to stay home.

I watched the video and it seemed there was an emphasis on informing others about what is happening on social media as a concrete step. They mentioned blackouts and boycotting. Most people I know are doing all of these already. The weekly visibility events seem to be very important.

You can't help but wonder how much bigger the massive No Kings protests would have been if people had seem him tearing down the White House beforehand.

It’s a temper tantrum. Also he didn’t get the Nobel. So sad.

A hallmark of fascism is violence and these tools he has pardoned can now be used as jackboot thugs.

There are weekly protests-many of them in our area and they are growing in number.

He is getting momentum off a particular flavor of masculinity. He may be a good candidate but I don’t think that is Liz’s point-but I may have it wrong. The point (I think) is how anyone performs their gender shouldn’t have bearing on whether or not they are a good candidate. Unfortunately it does.

Are you thinking about Maine? There is a perfectly respectable gay father running-Jordan Wood against Susan Collins but NO the oyster guy is getting all the attention. There is a lovely waitress running in Wisconsin Rebecca Cooke!

Women are the backbone of this resistance. We showed up for Me Too, Code Pink, the Women’s March, reproductive rights, BLM and for Fire Drill Fridays so we are ready for this. We know this is white and male supremacist backlash politics and if we do not stand together it will keep happening.

It’s the beginning of change. Many of us who vote Dem do not call ourselves liberals but progressives because we want change for everyone not “our share of the pie”. White liberal feminism betrayed Black and working class women and is now a term few would want to associate themselves with.

This isn’t just about contempt, it’s about ownership. In Trump’s mind the US and everyone in it belong to him.

Everyday it’s more of the same jackboot thugs attacking and terrorizing people. Hopefully more people will be outraged and the pushback will increase.
