Of course they takeover isn't over. The only way it will be over is if Congress will do their damn job. But they are too cowardly to do so. This entire GOP regime needs to be removed. That's the only way we can survive in this country. And speaking of how they aren't going to back down. Elon Musk has left. But Russell Vought who is Project's 2025 co-author. Will now take over. Unfortunately he has a chance to do things very efficiently because he will do things quietly and in the background. He isn't going to show off like Elon did. Plus he's also the head of the Budget Committee. So, we're in huge big trouble still. We need to continue calling our elected officials and tell them not to let this be hidden. Call them out every day and wherever. We also need to continue protesting!! Never give up and never stop. 🗽🇺🇸

Please join us on 6/14, NO KINGS DAY. We, the people, fight peacefully, LOUDLY and continuously.

I am a disabled old lady & I am registered for the demonstration in my city. On 4/5, turning up & speaking out on HANDS OFF day meant driving 25 minutes to a nearby, slightly larger city. For 6/14, there are enough of us to support peaceful actions in both cities.

Let's make 6/14/2025 a date that will live in history, when millions of us spoke up & spoke out in all 50 states!

And we have international support to resist the rise of The Fourth Reich here in the usa.

Several times I mentioned Malcolm Nances call for every Kamala voter to hit the streets for this protest. As you know, he has predicted this nightmare for years.

He said around 35 million would make it the biggest protest in USA history.

What action are you calling for? What's going to stop Trump? What are you hoping will succeed? Pretty words, but please put some details on them.

Oops, sorry. I responded to someone else’s comment by mistake. The actions I suggested were participating in rallies and marches, such as No King’s Day on 6/14, attending town halls, calling members of Congress, speaking with friends and neighbors about issues, volunteering for political organizations, voting rights, and/or other good cause organizations, engaging people online as we are doing now, phone banking, placing political type number stickers on your bumper, placing signs and/or flags at your home if you can, donating money to good causes and candidates are all good places to start.

Thank you for listing all these possibilities. I'm participating in most of them, the main exceptions being bumper stickers and signs/flags. Where I live, that's an invitation to have your property destroyed.

So here’s a tidbit from Hoekstra’s CBC interview 72 hours before Trumps most recent “51st” tweet;

“The president has made it very clear: There will be tariffs for every country wanting to do business in the United States," Hoekstra said.

So 3 days prior to the courts’ judgment of the OBVIOUS illegality of Trump’s tariffs, Hoekstra is telling Canada that Trump fully intends to leave tariffs in place permanently.

We ALL knew it was illegal on multiple levels;

1.Only congress can impose tariffs, not the President.

2.He, illegally, broke a trade agreement that he himself negotiated.

Escort Hoekstra to the border and kick his ass south side. We don’t need him feeding Canada any extra MAGA rhetoric. We have enough MAGA-supporting politicians and reps of our own.

As for the courts telling Trump “NO”, they and congress have done that before;

1. “You can’t deport those people”

-on a plane and off to ElSalvador (where a back room deal had already been made with Don Jr!

2. More planes full of deportees are in the air. “Turn them around NOW”

- sorry, too late, we misunderstood🙄

3. “Presidents can’t write laws, only the congress can”

- don’t tell me no. Impeach those judges

4. “You can’t take gifts from other nations.”

- the plane is free, I’m not saying no. I’ve made trillions while on this tour. (Not the USA, him. And still bullshit, because trillions is more than their DGP)

5. “You need to “facilitate” his return.

- NO, I’m not doing that

6. “You can’t use the Alien Enemies Act, it doesn’t apply”

-Watch me

I’ll believe it when I see it. Who’s going to enforce it? The DOJ? Have they done their job YET? Of course not, they’re every bit as corrupt as he is.

It sounds like you know he has no plans for elections in the near future. He doesn't care, all of them are letting us know they don't care about his polling numbers. The only thing that can change the trajectory is millions in the streets, all over this county. It worked for the judiciary in Israel, but just barely. It took the entire citizenry. It will be same here.

Brian Williams's avatar

You’re absolutely right, when institutions fall short, it’s the people who have to rise. Millions in the streets might sound extreme, but history shows it’s often the only language power understands. I’ve been thinking about that exact parallel with Israel, too… and how close they came to losing it all.

What do you think it’ll take to get Americans off the sidelines in that kind of unified way? And do you think we’re already too desensitized, or is there still a spark left to light?

We have to believe that there is still a spark and act as though everything depends on what we do. It depends on us and the actions we take now. If we don't believe in the spark and act on it, we won't survive.

Doesn’t matter. There isn’t anyone to ENFORCE the court decision. Just like all the others he has ignored. Enforcing court orders falls under the DOJ; they send marshals out to arrest court violators. The DOJ is part of the regime and just as corrupt as he is.

It's well known among thinking people that Trump will continue to whittle away at democracy. He has numerous avenues to follow. If one does not work, momentarily, he'll change direction and try another. It's exhausting, but he has toadies who are greedily wetting their lips and rubbing their hands together in glee over the prospect of more power, more money and the ability to release their vile, base nature with no impunity via the dismantling of democracy. Those sycophants come up with more and more innovative ways of advancing their foul, immoral agendas. Thank you to all of you who are doing the heavy lifting of keeping us informed.

Powerfully said, and painfully true. It is exhausting, but that’s exactly what they’re counting on: that we’ll burn out and back down. What keeps you going in the face of all this? What fuels your fire to keep speaking out?

I firmly believe all the Republicans in Congress have been threatened with harm to their families and loved ones by the trump mafia if they don’t line up and silently follow his lead.

It also seems trump is only a demented figurehead for project 2025 leaders since he isn’t with it or smart enough to be coming up with what is happening on his own.

This is a perfect description on what the future will be if MAGA Congress fascists do not step up and fight for the rule of law. They are all accessories to the crimes and hopefully will be held accountable for their role in the corrupt criminal regime.

I think we will see a return to Trump's not-so-subtle calls to the neo-nazi & assorted other right wing militias, especially if the military refuses to enforce his diktats. We got a pretty good look at that here in Portland, OR in 2019 and 2020. Like then, Trump's forces on the ground may include the over-armed and ludicrous-but-dangerous ICE special operations groups. But unless the courts roll over, i believe the military will stick to their oath to defend the Constitution.

Same. They are giving away the reason to even have a Congress which is what Felon47 wants. He doesn't want or need Congress and as fast as they can give away the legislative powers they held before January, the faster he will take them and the faster he will do away with Congress. And they're so stupid not to see that. The other thing I struggle with is to ensure we know that his name "T****" is being used to represent the real power behind this coup - Stephen Miller, the Heritage Foundation, Musk, Thiel, Putin and the oligarchs. Felon47 is merely a puppet now.

So, if Congress won't do its job, if the Supreme Court won't do its job and if the media won't do its job, who is left? No one? Late night talk shows? Massive protests? What about the military? Is there anything in the Constitution that authorizes the military to act? One thing for sure is that no action, continual hand wringing and all of us talking and bantering back and forth can't solve anything.
