It is critically important that we know what is succeeding, like the Avelo boycott!

You're at capacity! Congrats! But I was 3 minutes late and can't get in.

Trump is "Daddy" to Americans the same as Francoise Duvalier was "Poppa Doc" to Haitians, both examples of abusive "parenting."

He's "Daddy Trump" to America the same way Francoise Duvalier was "Poppa Doc" to Haiti. Both are examples of abusive parenting.

In case there was some confusion about my earlier post, perhaps this will clarify it...

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

No kings!

No dictators!

Trump's first 100 days:

-Start a costly trade war.
-Fire thousands of food safety, medical, and weather experts.
-Let the world's richest man effectively cut Social Security.
-Bill taxpayers $26M for golf trips.
-Shred the Constitution.

So much winning. youtu.be/yxtrhzW1ZTs?...

Even the little places in Oregon had unexpectedly large rallies on April 5. Hillsboro, home of Intel in Washington County, 20 miles from Portland, had expected 500 and 1500 showed up.

I am surprised that the word "kakistocracy" hasn't been applied to the Trump administration. The word comes from the Greek word "kakistos" meaning "the worst" or "least competent," fitting definitions for the current moment.

HOPE Harnessing Our Power to End Political Violence

For groups wanting to resist, there is a guide on endpoliticalviolence.org called "Harnessing Our Power to End Political" (HOPE-PV) that provides practical steps and free training to meet the national crisis we are facing. www.endpoliticalviolence.org/s/HOPE-PV-En...

Every resistance movement has branding, a symbol like below. Each says something about what the movement is about, and just as important, says nothing about the opposition.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Alt National Park Service is calling for a boycott of all Musk-related products. Sell your Tesla shares, Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts. We urge international supporters to do the same. Countries are already proposing tariffs on Musk-affiliated businesses. Take a stand!

Bird Flu Has Spread Out of Control after Mistakes by U.S. Government and Industry As the bird flu virus moved into cows and people, sluggish federal action, deference to industry and neglect for worker safety put the country at risk

This is coming soon to your human neighborhood and the Musk-Kennedy administration is not going to help us get vaccinated. The Biden administration got us here, but the next one is going to let us all die.
