Sorry knowledge, in DC money is power, thank you SCOTUS. And since 1/20/2025 we begin to see what happens when big money with evil intentions captures power. "Capitoli$m" - League of Women Voters - 2015: https://youtu.be/GcxYBfYO03I #FBR #Resist #Bluecrew

Update:
Most posts focus on the latest horrible actions of this fascist regime, validating the "flood the zone" strategy. Venting is understandable & may be good for the soul but accomplishes little.
This strategic action hits at the foundation of the GOP. Let's do it!

The ACLU missed an even bigger mark with their support for Citizens United v. FEC. But I've begun donating to them again b/c they're now in the legal trenches fighting the shitstorm.

Today's positive news: Schumer tells the truth!

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 2d

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

What organization can do this? The fascists might be able to snuff our protests with violence but they can't force us to move goods. @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org @publiccitizen.bsky.social @teamsters.bsky.social @aflcio.org @democrats.org
SHUT IT DOWN!

Plan to consider:

1. Build large contingency fund to continue salaries of actors.

2. Call strike of transportation sector workers.

3. Shut down commerce until Trump is removed.

I’m down for this.

The image is an X post by RB (@rbisrb

The post includes a meme featuring a photo of several men in suits, with text overlay stating: "Instead of 'billionaires' can we go back to calling them 'robber barons'?" The individuals in the photo appear to be prominent figures, though they are not specifically identified.

Addendum:
Another possible tactic towards the same goal, is to DOG every GOP candidate of significance and gently force them publicly to repudiate some subset of Trump's most terrible offenses (preferably with local examples and witnesses) - at as many venues as possible..

Did we need to check who voted for Hitler? Was that a prerequisite for something? No! The only reason we know about the people that voted for It, is they bloody bragged about that damn vote. I'm appalled by our government killing foreigners and then telling them what to think. Done.
