I'm so old, I remember when Republicans used to hyperventilate about a menacing federal government consisting of "jackbooted thugs." It turns out it wasn't a principled hatred of "jackbooted thugs" they were expressing, it was just jealousy that THEY weren't the ones in the jackboots.

There’s only so much we can take. We are not asking for Trump and his administration to listen to the American people. We are demanding that he listen. HANDS OFF OUR DEMOCRACY! April 5th.

Congrats, everyoneβ€”the Elon boycott is working! Reports indicate that Tesla inventory is swelling, especially with Cybertrucks piling up outside their factory. Keep the boycott going, and don’t forgetβ€”today is the Economic Blackout!

In today’s Vatnik Soup REBREW, I’ll re-introduce the American-British social media personalities, Tristan and Andrew Tate. They’re best-known for their social media grifts, allegations of human trafficking and rape, and sucking up to authoritarian regimes.

The co-founder of Airbnb, Joe Gebbia is now on Musk's DOGE team. Since I love to travel, we have spent a Lot of money using Airbnb all over the world. That relationship ended today. I cancelled an upcoming trip and booked another place with VRBO. I'm Done.

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

This is what Democracy looks like! Thank you to the 150+ protesters who came out in our little NJ county seat (Cape May County) to have their voices heard! Lots of support from cars beeping as they went past.

Fascism Isn't Coming To America, It's Here. Do Americans Have the Strength to Drive it Out? Fascism isn’t coming to America, it’s already here.

Fascism isn’t coming to America, it’s already here.

We are long past the warnings of an approaching existential threat looming on the distant horizon of our story, which many of us spent the past decade imploring people not to ignore.

BREAKING
Republicans are trying to stop 69 million women from voting.
This week, House Republicans introduced a bill that would disenfranchise women who changed their last name after getting married.
They want to control women.

Here we go AGAIN 🀬

The SAVE Act would make it harder for millions of Americans to cast a ballot, this includes women who changed their name after marriage.

We must spread the word to protect our democracy.

I would suggest actively boycotting the companies who are the biggest advertisers on X. Elon has a big debt held by several big banks that he is paying 11% on. If he loses advertisers the banks will get the jitters. Rich people need credit to get richer. Stop buying from these and write to their CEO

5 Calls Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

I just called Van Drew's office using the app 5 Calls. One of the options was to ask for a town meeting during the Congressional recess from Feb. 14-23. They said he is not having one. Please call to request a town meeting. 5calls.org

I am so relieved that these protests were legit. I was really worried for everyone's safety. I think it's time for a protest sponsored by well known groups like Indivisible, Women's March or March for Our Lives. I'll be there!

I had taken an interest in the 50 states, 50 capitals Rally scheduled for 2/5. BUT,I am now reading material by Red, Wine and Blue saying it is somewhat suspect. No organizers are listed and no permits drawn. Now I believe it may be a trap. Please do your research and know the organizers. Not going
