My dad was part of the greatest generation. If this shit was being done to are democracy in their prime years they would have already had Trump hung upside down like Mussolini! And the rest of the assholes that are complacent in it!
When you make enormous generalizations like this you are playing from the MAGA playbook. Please don't. Thanks in advance from an old white lady who is paying for a subscription.
Don’t paint us all with the same brush strokes. My Dad spent one year of his young life in prison camp during WWII after being shot down multiple times. He sacrificed tremendously for freedom and democracy and his ‘kids’ and grandkids are sensitive to the ongoing struggles to preserve those hard fought values for all people. That comment was offensive
Trumpshit will always blame Hillary..Barak..etc, even when eggs are 50 bucks a dozen and epidemics will be raging.........Armageddon will be Bidens fault.
So. I just watched this before I went to our city's morning market to protest, only to find political activity is no longer allowed. St Petersburg is a progressive city, or so I thought, so if the fascists can stop peaceful protests here it will happen everywhere. Be aware that your reps are on vacation this week, so protest at their local office. RISE UP NOW!
I am also totally pissed at the Damnacratic Party for being so goddamn weak. We need a mass uprising against the Trumphuk- Muskalini assault on our democracy.
I have no Democratic Representative OR Senator! I live in West Texas and feel completely unrepresented. Just heard Laurence Tribe on MSNBC say Monday will be a protest nationwide for "Take Back Our Flag" day at state capitals and city halls.
Also Feb 28th, all 24 hours, an Economic Boycott without buying anything via credit cards, etc. except for special emergencies is planned. I am not sure who is behind the boycott, but it can't be conservatives. The idea is to show people power.
I WAS BEATEN, dad was going to bend me brake me, my favorite thing was to snarl so he broke trim on my body, he couldn't break me I WALKED INTO HIS FISTS! HE NEVER BROKE ME!
I begged just one take down, walking rail yards at night! This was a dangerous time for........
YES! National Buying Boycott on Feb 28th. It's all over Bluesky, thank God word is spreading! We hit acquiescent corporations & top 10% where it hurts.
The US has a hellish partnership of ideological fanatics and disaster capitalists in the White House now none of whom have any nuanced in depth knowledge of either international political relations or military history. This administration has just excluded any EU leaders from Ukrainian peace talks to take place between Russia and the US. For them governance is simply about plunder for personal profit and indulgent force majeure.
Malcolm, please identify every republican senator and congressperson who you know to have voted under threat of harm or death. They are compromised and must resign! Americans of all stripes will understand that those people can no longer serve faithfully. We then have the opportunity to take back control of the Senate and House. Please, name them Now!!!
I don't expect anything of substance to emerge from Democrats and Independents in Congress: They're too busy trying to look and sound like leaders for the cameras in the halls and TV studios. With a few exceptions, EVERYONE is worried about being re-elected and retaining their perks (so it's more posturing than confrontation.)
In his (2017) book The Death of Expertise, Tom Nichols got it right: https://tinyurl.com/NicholsOnExpertise - The "Why" for we have clowns leading major federal institutions (and more being confirmed and appointed weekly.)
I passed John Kerry on the sidewalk a few months ago as he was exiting a Boston restaurant, and my friend and I were entering. He already had a small group around him, so I only caught his eye and gave him an affirming hand signal. He smiled in return. I should have done more to thank him for his lifelong commitment to America and to the freedom I/we enjoy.
Thank you for your passion and commitment, Malcolm. It's empowering for the rest of us.
Powerful as always Chief. It’s a damn shame that fratboi, Posobiec & Vance are overseas doing Putin’s bidding & giving legitimacy to a German Neo-Nazi party. 😒
As for Linda McMahon, Black History will be taught, & for damn sure presented on my Substack to the highest of standards. I just find it interesting that Vince had his criminal probe dropped. 😑

The white kids and grandkids of the Greatest Generation are just awful. They are living the libertarian motto of "I got mine. Fuck You!"
I'm embarrassed to be Italian-American at this point, so many I know are all for Trump.

They are all going to be in shock when the billionaire oligarchs take it all away!

St Pete Florida?
Yes. But I need to clarify this was for the area around the market only. Still feels like a violation of 1st Amend.
Agreed. I didn’t realize St Pete was a progressive area considering Sarasota is the opposite! Glad there’s still some blue dots down here.
We have the largest Pride Parade in the South.
Sad,
We, junior 💙 high protested and no one looked, long hot day walking to the draft board, it was the principle!

I KNOW. I lived in San Angelo and had zero representation. If I wasn't military they'd never talk to me.
NICE TO SAY HI!
MY white privilege was to be tortured by a mean man.
Same where I live in NC. We have two Republican senators and my US Rep is MAGA Chuck Edwards.
I'm sorry for you!
Consumers learn your worth; WE ARE POWER! AMERICANS SHOULD BE SENDING AT LEAST AN SOS, GET IP

Amazon Boycott....March 7-14
Protest season is heating up.....
No worries! I deleted my Amazon account as soon as I saw him on that inauguration stage — traitor.
YES! National Buying Boycott on Feb 28th. It's all over Bluesky, thank God word is spreading! We hit acquiescent corporations & top 10% where it hurts.
PURCHASE NOTHING: Gas, groceries, stick of gum, Amazon orders (esp Amazon 🖕) PURCHASE NOTHING.
DO NOT USE CREDIT/DEBIT CARD ON FEB 28 (grab some just-in-case-cash prior to 28th)
Another boycott is scheduled March 15th.
I heard it was the Hispanic contingency.

Thanks from the far north of California, if thanks is the right word.

Absolutely right!

I'm a blue dot in a red state(In). I refuse to sit. Standing up is our only option.
Ditto ✊️
OMG. Totally scared. Why aren't Dems scared???
COULD IT BE SHOCK, FEAR, OR JUST ZOMBIES?
FEB 17 NATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST AGAINST DONALD TRUMP
https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/754857/
I was encouraged to see middle school students walk out in protest of Hegseth's visit to Germany and the anti-DEI mandate from the White House: https://www.stripes.com/theaters/europe/2025-02-12/patch-school-protest-hegseth-dei-16804589.html (There is also coverage of adults in the rain booing Hegseth's wife as she visits a school in Germany.)

Dem response keeps me in a constant state of rage and depression. They coexist these days and especially nights
NO COMMUNICATION, we all felt safe that the good guys are not caught in the gaze of the headlights! DEMS STUCK IN THE HEAD LIGHTS, no fight or flight.
Why don’t they drop it now?!! Why don’t the military split right the fuck now and encircle DC and stop this shit right now!!!
No righteous fucking outrageous angry, ho hum what-ever swivel heads.
I am free
I WILL NEVER BE DONE.
Amen! I'm contacting my reps, sending this message by email and spreading the word!
