Blackout Friday! Trump, you are fired! Republicans have abandoned the people. Democracy won't fall on our watch. The rich are all in! So now we are too.
There are more days and even weeks scheduled, I know there's a week long Amazon boycott, Target and Walmart day. If I find the list I'll post the info here.
Excellent idea - I support doing it once a week on the same day! More and more people will find out about the boycott over time and people will get into the habit of doing it!
I’m all for doing blackouts more often so that more and more people get involved. I went a step further and canceled my Amazon prime account and I let them know exactly why I did it.
Daniel ty for sharing this. I read it and am going ton comment that consider including the need for mental health experts to assist our political leaders with this effort. Are you familiar with Dr. Bandy X Lee Yale Psychiatrist? If not please consider checking out her substack. Her article posted yesterday is a good recap of her efforts and work.
Dr. Bandy Lee is an excellent psychologist and have made a number of podcasts together with Anthony Davis before the election. She also gathered a number of esteemed psychologists and psychiatrists to make a letter/warning to the SCOTUS regarding the immunity bid from Trump.
Today we have black out Friday and more to come. Never trust a Republican who says they are for the working people. People are rising up, protesting, town hall meetings they have no idea they woke up the sleepy giants. Time to remove trump and the maga Republicans' i hope when it comes to the midterms people who vote against their own interests will turn the page. We are all in is together to fight for democracy and fight back against the oligarchy. We shall rise and overcome
Republicans know how to lay out their messages. democrats really need to how to speak up and get their messages through. they have to beat maga at their own game. People think less government, conservative values is what the republicans represents. times have changed the republican turned the page in a whole different direction. they are too afraid to stand up to trump, no spine, just cowards. we have 35 to 36 seats up in the Governers race in 2026 along with the midterms
They are learning, growing and changing. I have been impressed by what I have seen coming out in new ways in the communication department by Democrats. They are stretching and reaching. You just have to look for it because the mainstream media is not going to report it unless they can turn it into something negative.
To ensure that there are no more videos of angry people showing up at town halls, republicans are either not going to have them, or they are going to stack them with people who will only be on the “for” side so that republicans can feed their propaganda machine that everyone “loves” trump and what he is doing. NOT! So sad for the Red States. It is not just the media that is being fed to you, but now your elected officials are going to join the propaganda machine and either NOT tell you what is going on, or they are going to make sure you only hear what they want you to hear. Time to sign up for independent media to get the real truth. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-republicans-town-halls-blowback-trump-cuts-rcna193766
Wow… I see how some MAGA were aligned with you calling out trump’s lies. It would be so powerful if more came aboard finally to fight against the corrupt trump regime. Crazy things do happen 🙏🏽
I have very little confidence that MAGA and/or Republicans will turncoat their Dick Tator. They have a high tolerance for bad behavior. They believe Democrats drink children's blood, Haitians eat pets, vaccines are tracking devices, and the list goes on. I've seen and read how his supporters could loose their farms, insurance, homes, jobs, and they say "I still support him." If he says "This is for the good of the country", they'll believe it. And they have proven that.
The misogynistic, bigoted, functionally illiterate of this country have a codependent, pathological, abusive relationship with him. They don't seem to understand they are chattel to him and the Pro-Apartheid Neoliberal Oligarch Fascist Regime.
I'd love to know who footed the bill to fly the Tate brothers to the US in a private jet. Trump has produced more waste with his Super Bowl stunt and other frivolous trips while destroying critical government functions. Keep pressure on!
100%. Last night dump says he knows nothing about it but since we all know he is a pathological liar that isn’t true. His fingerprints are all over this. Funny how he says we need to get the bad people out of our country and then these two are let in.
There are more than a few pasty faced white techies around Trump who could foot thr bill. Perhaps Beta Zuckercuck wants private kick boxing lessons from the Tates, along with points on domestic abuse ...
I thought that too…probably Romania, but curious why they landed in Miami? They are wretched, ghoulish, disgusting individuals. All of Dump World is this continuous grift….reminds me of infomercials of the 80s/90s, this continuous delusion of crap.
Totally agree…He uses our taxpayer money at his pleasure…Talk about fraud and waste while his henchman dismantles our security and more…Total deflection…
All of the old "protest" musicians/singers need to come back with new songs for this time of attempted oppression and destruction of our democratic republic. BUT not YOU, Lee Greenwood!! 🇱🇷 💙
I am so tired of hearing about how many republican legislators say (in private) that they don’t like what Trump is doing to us and our country, but because they and their families feel threatened with violence (and having an opponent in the next primary election) if they don’t publicly agree with Trump’s agenda and cabinet/presidential appointments that they just approve everything he wants. I think that all of the legislators that do this and don’t vote for what is in the best interests of their constituents should resign. They aren’t doing their jobs and they are causing great harm to their constituents, our country, and the world.
You must remember that The National Embarrassment's followers chanted "hang Mike Pence" and don't forget that one of the supporters attacked Paul Pelosi in his home. The threat against politicians of being hurt is very real.
It's their Frankenstein. What's there to worry about, fellas? A little too much hateful rhetoric? Coming to bite you in the ass? COWARDS. Cowards allowing the cutting of VA personnel. It's quite ironic.
In a meeting of his like minded cronies, this week, they all politely clapped when "he" asked about how they all felt about the job, that (f)Elon was doing. It was so fake. It's disgusting.
And to this I say then they need to resign. I've been calling my reps leaving messages telling them they aren't upholding their oath to the constitution and not representing their constituents.
Democrats introduced many amendments to stop tax cuts:
First, stop tax cuts for those making over $10 million a year—Republicans voted no.
Second, they tried to set the cutoff at $100 million—Republicans still said no.
Third, they tried to set the cutoff at $500 million—Republicans still said no.
Fourth, they tried to set the cutoff at $1 billion— Republicans said they were for giving billionaires a tax break on the backs of the poor and the elderly.
1) Republicans, 217 of them in the House, won’t even block tax cuts for people making a $1 billion in a single year.
2) Republicans, 217 of them in the House, are more than happy to slash funding for kids with disabilities and seniors in nursing homes to give billionaires a financial break.
If you voted for one of these Republicans you are complicit in their actions. Let the protests begin!
Is MTN planning a counter cast to the SOTU Tuesday? Please do! Maybe an opportunity to raise up the special elections for house seats in Florida and NY. Raise funds like you did during the inauguration. Love the brothers🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! You've given this old man the glimmer of hope I've needed since this nightmare began. I appreciate the base you and your brothers are providing. As long as I have breath I will continue to fight for the basic human rights we all deserve.
in the "settings" of your computer you can adjust the basics of the screen/desktop ; how much lighting, how much contrast and basic size of the icons (with changing the number of pixel) etc
Is it possible that Trump does know that tariffs will harm the economy, but he doesn’t care because he will make a lot of money by granting exceptions, as well as exacting revenge on leaders who “hurt his feelings”?
So he was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein and now he has Andrew Tate released to Florida (where I live by the way). I think this tells you how Trump feels about women and another reason I can't stand him.
Blackout Friday! Trump, you are fired! Republicans have abandoned the people. Democracy won't fall on our watch. The rich are all in! So now we are too.
One Friday isn’t enough. WE NEED TO DO THIS EVERY FRIDAY.

Excellent idea - I support doing it once a week on the same day! More and more people will find out about the boycott over time and people will get into the habit of doing it!
How do we make this happen?
ThePeoplesUnionUSA.com.
Today was just a test to see if enough people would participate. Further boycott days are being scheduled, and they will be longer than 1 day.
It's on ThePeoplesUnionUSA.com site
I’m all for doing blackouts more often so that more and more people get involved. I went a step further and canceled my Amazon prime account and I let them know exactly why I did it.
ThePeoplesUnionUSA. com
In America is all about following the money. Boycotts are power tools

It's really not logical! How can a party on one side be for the working people and at the same time suck up to the richest people of the nation??
Republicans (do they even call themselves that anymore??) is the party of oxymorons!
Value: Family. Action: Infidelity
Value: Christianity. Action: Drunken sodomy
Value: Serve the people . Action: Self servient
Value: Obey the law and the Constitution. Action: Cheat, lie and commit fraud
And I could go on and on and on......

No More Republican Town Halls

Are you fucking calling me stupid? I'm very aware of White Christian Nationalism and the 1000 of religious oppressive wars throughout history.

Buyers remorse, let's see what happens if they shut down Medicaid, likely a mass exodus of magas.
Right on ✊🏼 Economic Boycott today (& more to follow) + 50501 protests in every state on Tues March 4 ahead of 💩’s faux SOTU.
I'd love to know who footed the bill to fly the Tate brothers to the US in a private jet. Trump has produced more waste with his Super Bowl stunt and other frivolous trips while destroying critical government functions. Keep pressure on!

The rape apologists that are now in charge. Sexual assault is a right of passage in the Agent Orange Regime.
That’s why I call him SPOTUS. The P can stand for predator, pervert, or perpetrator - all perfectly applicable.
Of course trump denies knowing anything about this. I'm sure their fruitful jobs are waiting for them at the white house. 😡💩💩
So TRUMP is bringing IN Rapists and Criminals? Hmmm🧐😡🤬
While he falsely accuses that the immigrants were all rapist criminals…Hyprocrisy
I thought that too…probably Romania, but curious why they landed in Miami? They are wretched, ghoulish, disgusting individuals. All of Dump World is this continuous grift….reminds me of infomercials of the 80s/90s, this continuous delusion of crap.
Jesus…so shameful
Totally agree…He uses our taxpayer money at his pleasure…Talk about fraud and waste while his henchman dismantles our security and more…Total deflection…
Don’t forget not to spend money today and if you have to shop local and try to use cash!! 🥰
Bob Dylan needs to write a song “The Ghost of Jeffrey Epstein.”
All of the old "protest" musicians/singers need to come back with new songs for this time of attempted oppression and destruction of our democratic republic. BUT not YOU, Lee Greenwood!! 🇱🇷 💙
I got one for you. James McMurtry's 'We Can't Make It Here'. You'll dig it. It should be our National Anthem. He's right on. Check him out on YouTube.
“Stop, hey, what’s that sound,
Everybody look what’s goin’ down !”
Thank you Ben!! Economic blackout today!! MeidasMIghty we fight!! 💪💙🍊🐖💩

They can spend some of their ill-gotten gains on private security. 👹
You mean like the security that was overwhelmed on January 6?
I had in mind the FBI or other folks not suitably loyal to the regime that have been laid off.
In a meeting of his like minded cronies, this week, they all politely clapped when "he" asked about how they all felt about the job, that (f)Elon was doing. It was so fake. It's disgusting.
They are cowards and traitors
And to this I say then they need to resign. I've been calling my reps leaving messages telling them they aren't upholding their oath to the constitution and not representing their constituents.

Blackout Friday! Let it begin! And thank you MTN for all you do. You are my only trusted source of what’s really happening in this crazy country!
Is MTN planning a counter cast to the SOTU Tuesday? Please do! Maybe an opportunity to raise up the special elections for house seats in Florida and NY. Raise funds like you did during the inauguration. Love the brothers🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! You've given this old man the glimmer of hope I've needed since this nightmare began. I appreciate the base you and your brothers are providing. As long as I have breath I will continue to fight for the basic human rights we all deserve.
ANY CHANCE YOU COULD MAKE THE FONT A BIT LARGER AND DARKER FOR US OLD FOLKS TO SEE IT BETTER? THANKS!
you can make many settings on your computer :-)
up right in your browser, there are 3 points,
scroll down to "percentage"
take the button an go to the right side, and make the scale 110 % or 120%,
all letters get bigger :-)
good idea ..
in the "settings" of your computer you can adjust the basics of the screen/desktop ; how much lighting, how much contrast and basic size of the icons (with changing the number of pixel) etc
