Support from Australia 🇦🇺… stay strong and please vote every single Maga Rep out of office … NONE of them can be trusted … they need to be removed from every single government agency including the military & police force … Maga LAPD Officer intentionally shot one of our Aussie reporters … disgraceful !!

Our Prime Minister has been briefed and he is NOT happy … she’s doing ok and has spoken directly with our PM … I believe there has been or will be communication with their US counterparts accordingly & our PM will be at G7 in Canada and hopefully he can “bitch slap” the Orange Blob on our behalf 😀 … please know we support our good and sane American counterparts and for you all to band together and win over the darkness & evil that Trump & his minions have cloaked over your Country 🙋🏼‍♀️💜🙏🏼

I saw that and was disgusted with the direct shot ON TV, I would like to know how she is if possible AND hope she presses charges against the officer and the LAPD authorities who gave him the right to hurt her

Thank you and we are on it ! In our recent election our Prime Minister won in a landslide up against his narcissistic right wing mini trump counterpart because us people of Australia knew what was happening in America and we would not tolerate the same … my heart breaks for all of you so please stay strong & band together to win over the darkness & evil of the Orange Blob & his minions … 🙋🏼‍♀️💜🙏🏼

And we love 🇺🇸 & 🇨🇦… Trump has no friggen idea that together we’ve all been part of the Five Eyes since WWII… 🇦🇺 🇳🇿 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇬🇧… Australia has USA military base on our soil, paid for by us tax payers (gladly) and yet he’s treating all allies around the world with contempt … moronic buffoon who treats his own country with distain 😤 … keep your chin up, stay strong and know, allies are not against the American people but your Maga King & all his minions should be rounded up by your military and prosecuted for treason if he doesn’t leave office after losing next years elections … 🙋🏼‍♀️🙏🏼

Write to the PM (and your Aussie MP) -- here's what I said:

Subject: Do not bend the knee -- What Tear Gas and Rubber Bullets Do to the Human Body

Do not partner with the USA now. Do not bend the knee to Trump/Musk/Miller/Vance.

They lie, cheat & steal -- and KILL. Please be prepared & strengthen Australia...

Australian reporters are not safe in the USA. Will Lauren Tomasi have permanent nerve damage??????

ICE, the National Guard, the Marines -- are under orders to target reporters.

"So-called “less-lethal” weapons like those that have been used against demonstrators in Los Angeles can cause severe, lasting harm like nerve or brain damage or blindness. They can also kill."

Idiot trump will CAUSE as much chaos as possible, and anyway he can! I am REALLY disappointed in our military for giving in to this DESPICABLE excuse for a president and a human being! Apparently the military members FORGOT what they took an oath to uphold, their CO's especially!

I’ll be tuning in!

And my normal -

Call. Write. Email. Protest peacefully. Unrelentingly.

Use/share this spreadsheet as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to your own reps, as well as those in other states on a specific committee important to a topic you’re sharing. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”

Amen. Please -- even if you're in a state whose elected members don't listen much, use the numbers to write the committees. They have to hear enough voices that they start noticing and maybe start caring. We're at a precarious point. We need everyone to remember that we all owe most of what we consider "normal" to the Constitution. Please help save it.

Yes!

And I think while we might not always see big waves, we can cause little ripples. I’m thinking staff members who hear the same thing over and over via voicemail, phone calls, letter after letter, email after email - maybe they’ll be a little more receptive each time they hear from us. Maybe they’ll talk more about our talking points to friends and family, maybeeee they’ll vote differently (if we get to vote again). I think we can cause ripples to push news organizations to be more honest and maybe even a bit accusatory about what’s happening. As a collective, our volume matters. And, at the end of the day, if we just annoy and overwhelm some staffers working for people hurting the average American, I’m ok with that too 🙃

Precisely! Yesterday, I called a bunch of our Congressional reps here in CA and asked them to go to LA and stand arm-in-arm with each other to show solidarity because we Californians need to actually SEE them together! I had the best conversation with Ted Lieu’s office and I don’t live in Southern CA. It’s important we keep this pace up because now the word is that Trump is sending troops to Seattle. The bastard!

You can watch most of it with sound, starting around 5 min. Do watch it! I was crying. Finally! Someone calling out this fascist takeover! As a former Californian, I am so proud of what they're doing, especially Governor Newsom.

This was wonderful! Please do more of these. I called all of my congress people today stating democrats were not visible enough in this moment (besides those in CA) and propaganda is winning out. We need our leaders front & center daily. Additionally , this is a message to main stream media, that they definitively can no longer be counted on.
