Exactly. Where are the members of Congress willing to be arrested, right now? Also, I am hearing Musk's team of incels is starting to crack and have tantrums. We need some A-team hecklers added to the mix.
Good morning,

We need at least one Senator or member of Congress to risk an arrest today and break through the police line at one of these agencies.

Not next week. Today.

To whichever member of Congress risks arrest, I will THROW DOWN FOR YOU and so will thousands, if not millions, of Americans.
How do you break a police line?

Put your hands up and slowly push through the line.

Even when you’re an ordinary citizen, this tactic is surprisingly effective.

Now, imagine you’re a Member of Congress.

You likely get through.

And if you don’t? You take the arrest.

Elon's young incel bros are starting to crack. We need all our best trash talkers and hecklers to report to the front lines immediately. We need large taunting signs visible directly from the windows.
Elon Musk’s 20-year-old staffers are not only demanding access to highly restricted information but are also displaying aggressive behavior—shouting at anyone who stands in their way, resorting to name-calling, throwing tantrums, and even hitting objects in anger.

Ellen Weintraub, chair of the Federal Election Commission, announced that President Trump sent her a letter declaring her immediate removal. However, Weintraub rejected the action, stating it was not legally valid.

One more authoritarian on the team. The coup continues, aided and abetted by today's Congressional GOP, a traitorous and dangerous gang of political eunuchs.
Newly confirmed OMB Director Russell Vought has strongly implied that his strategy “is to instill fear in the Supreme Court that the presidency is prepared to resort to outright defiance of its decisions.”

Imo, Jordan is a country that is still there because they have accepted absolutely anything that has forced upon them. Until now.

Most people don't know that part of Jerusalem used to be Jordan. Now, the border's 40 mins away, along the Jordan River.
Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi repeats what he and King Abdullah have said many times in the past: any attempt to forcibly displace Palestinians into Jordan will be seen as a declaration of war against the Kingdom of Jordan, and the Kingdom will fight back.

It's like the easiest dot-to-dot game in the world. But we're leaving it to Wired magazine and the Alt National Park Service Facebook group to report on the most consequential story of the 21st century.
Let's all say it out loud. These people are fascists & this is a fascist take-over of the United States. You can couch your words more carefully, but the speed and ferocity of what is happening now is part-and-parcel of a coup. The GOP in Congress has surrendered. The Dems are out of their depth. 1/

Sheinbaum comes out swinging. Kudos to her and Trudeau for their responses. All Americans should watch or read the transcripts of their speeches in their entirety. U.S. news reports are excluding some key info they share that make the U.S. look like awful clowns.

Happy Black History Month! The more you know, the better you are.
Did you know that back in 1947, a journalist named Orrin C. Evans and his brother, George J. Evans Jr., made history by launching All Negro Comics Inc. in Philadelphia? It was the first Black-owned comic book publishing company in the U.S.! #blackhistory

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
