No β€” all of us do NOT deserve this embarrassment and shame. No way. I
I’ve protested and spoken out, in general and to friends and family, risking dear relationships. I’ve donated. I’ve boycotted. There are about 80 million voters here who deserve shame, and those who didn’t vote need to wake up.

If each of us who marched in #NoKings brings a friend, we will meet the 3.5% to defeat authoritarianism. Whom will you bring? #3.5%Rule

#NoKings on 3/28/26. Bring someone new. We can do this. We can start to turn the tide back to sanity.

Is there an island we can all mass migrate to ? To get out of this lunatic hellscape?

What power does the Democratic Party have? None. The American people gave ALL the power to the GOP, and they gave it ALL to Trump, so stop blaming the Democrats and get to work voting them back in to every position, from President to dog-catcher.

Every elected position should go to Democrats.

Not a care in the [imploding] world. Yeah, I sleep like that. Happy #caturday

They have no core values. So much for keeping your word, too. Nothing matters more than Power to them.

3/28. #NoKings. If everyone who marched last time brings a new marcher, we will reach that #3%Rule and peacefully dismantle this administration.

Google 3.5% rule. That’s what we need in the streets -peacefully- to start to get it back to even close to where it was. That’s when tide turns. Hopefully. 🀞

06.03.2026 15:07 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Yes. They call it β€œunprecedented” and β€œnorm-shattering” instead of unconstitutional and incompetent.

06.03.2026 15:05 β€” πŸ‘ 42    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

$1 billion a day for an unconstitutional war is what MJ seems to be defending. GOP lawmakers in Congress need to come on set and defend their dereliction of duty, not to Joe (he’ll excuse it) but to Lemire, Barnacle, and Mika. (I still believe in Mika.)
Next No Kings protest is 3/28. Get out there!

Yeah saw that twice. Do the think we are fools? I’ve moved on to Meidas Touch network.

πŸ’― They’ve been doing this since day 1. Trump moves unconstitutionally and MSM call it β€œunprecedented” or β€œnorm-shattering,” then it’s dropped until a court weighs in.
We have a King, and no assurance that midterms will be copacetic.

There’s something very eerie about the ad as well. It looks AI driven or filmed with a drone camera. Can’t describe it but it has a 1984 feel to it. Shame on MSNOW. MJ should refuse it on their show.

05.03.2026 15:40 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Agree. When I need to turn away I think of who I’m going to take with me to No Kings on 3/28. If we all bring a new person we can topple this regime peacefully through resistance. #3%rule

He’s responsible for her actions. He and Miller set the tone and the quotas. Firing her is awesome but the new person will do the same, sans Botox.

Have you seen the ad on MJ now β€” glowingTrump at his SOTU showing democrats asleep and saying they let illegals (not my word, no one is illegal) in and that β€œRepublicans are for you β€œ or some such nonsense. I watch through the Hulu app. Guess they think we are fools. These are no ordinary times!

05.03.2026 13:41 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

MeidasTouch network is the best now. They report it like it is. They’re pro-democracy.

05.03.2026 13:32 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Yes. And they like dictators. I can’t believe how accepting of all of this they are. It’s embarrassing. This is a war not authorized by Congress. Trump’s lies will cost lives, needlessly. Lemire speaks the most truth on the show. Then Willy.

05.03.2026 13:19 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

And it’s outrageous that this show is okay with a derelict GOP Congress. JS would be out of his mind if a Democrat did this. There’s no authorization for this WAR. We have a king. Republicans like kings.

05.03.2026 13:14 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Yes. It goes back that far. We helped overthrow a democratically elected Gov.

Yeah. He’s in β€œautocracy building mode.”

Everyone see the new ad on MJ? β€œRepublicans are for you” while they portray democrats at Trump’s SOTU sleeping and a subhead that says they let illegal aliens in? Are you kidding, MJ/ MS NOW? Insulting the people who watch your shows and see your advertisers? Disgusting.

05.03.2026 13:04 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Yeah. I wondered if it’s better to not even have a vote (hang admin out to dry) but it is good to get reps’ votes on record… This war is insanity and a colossal failure of our government.

03.03.2026 14:00 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

And please stop the repugnant ICE ads, and the new ad that shows Trump at his SOTU speech with subheads declaring the dems are enemies and republicans are "one of us?" Where's that ad money coming from?

02.03.2026 15:07 β€” πŸ‘ 8    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

How about a subhead there that says "...while GOP Congress is asleep in allowing the Trump Admin to unconstitutionally declare WAR without them." What's up MS NOW?
