And resisting running to politicians that are billionaire owned, etc

The fact that trump is dismantling our country means that Democrats are also liars and work for billionaires too!

We need to stop running to the politicians for help! THOSE DAYS ARE GONE!

Why would you run to them to solve the problems THEY CREATED!

Please unite! We need to plan! Resist.Rebel.Retell every day the truths of the dysfunction and danger!

Pull your IRAs immediately! Savings accounts! Get your money now! Expected to happen this week!

Please! Please! Please!

Stock nonperishables, water, Tp, and snacks! Prices are going up!

It’s true it appears democrats we have elected are cowering to Trump and burying their heads in the sand. Only a couple seem to be representing us and speaking out I’m saddened and disgusted

could it be that their voices too are silenced by mainstream media (MSM)? I've been hearing from my HR-rep. I don't believe they're just standing by. not yet- #ETTD hold-on-friends

They have, are being and will continue to be silenced by corporate mainstream media. Look what they did to Biden for four years! The media is owned & controlled by billionaires who have no interest in facts or truth. Consider the recent downfall of the Washington Post, LA Times, NYTimes, CNN, even MSNBC has been hit with lost ratings... Support independent journalists & news outlets!

Whatever they're doing today, it's not going to be enough. They allowed our legal system to be totally corrupted. When you have no legal avenue to Justice what do you think is going to happen?

Its nothing NEW. How do you think we got to here? We got here because the majority of American citizens put their blinders on plugged up their ears and paid no attention to any of us who were saying as early as 2018, "Hello ! We're being taken over by fascists!"

Oh and I said it over and over again to to my elected representatives in the federal government to my local representatives to my neighbors my friends my family newspapers emails blogs.

So why the hell are y'all acting like this is something that suddenly appeared?

Agreed! We've got to quit looking for scapegoats and start looking for ways to push back. Looking for news and info outlets that aren't run by the broligarchs, so far I still have faith in MTN, Substacks, Bluesky, DKos, and Mother Jones - have I missed some? If you can give a dollar, then give a dollar; if you can write a letter then do that, Remind our politicians that they are still going to need voters when tRump is out of options. There are many lawsuits currently being filed - and even with federal ones, the entity filing gets to choose the district. Unlike when tRuskists have filed in the districts they know belong to them (think Texas, Georgia and Florida).

Yes, the silence of the Dems is deafening. But think about what happened to Nancy Pelosi's husband when Dumpster called her out. It is so dangerous to speak out against Dumpster, the mob boss.

To quasi repeat something my Aunt and Uncle had posted on their corkboard by their front door…”Rebel against the rising tide of Authority! “ The original said against “conformity.” This administration is neither authorized nor conforming to any sort of previous norms.

Panicking and pulling all your money out of your IRA seems like a bad idea. Taking note that the balance is likely to drop is another thing.

I agree John! It’s a “sky is falling” response that ultimately will hurt everyone.

I don’t have enough money to not worry, but I’ve been a cautious investor & at my advanced age I don’t invest in stocks anymore. My money is in FDIC insured accounts & all I can do now is hope the Fed remains intact.

Kids, invest wisely with a sharp eye on the institutions you are trusting to advise you. Never invest in something that you do not understand. There will be failures & missed opportunities but you will learn from each one. Your own health is your greatest asset so don’t neglect it.

We should all stand strong & not comply with illegal or immoral orders.

While I agree that some of the Dem Politicians and Leaders are not fighting hard enough and/or acting as if it's still the old days there are other strong factors at play here. The MSM, for one, is at the top of my list. They are nothing more than a Trump/Fascist propaganda outlet now. Another factor is poor communication from Dem Leadership and politicians who continue to be on the defensive trying to win over the MSM and voters who, for some reason, hang out in Diners that will never vote for them anyway. They pay consultants so much money that honestly people on this site could come up with better slogans that might actually work. Voter apathy and let's not forget, misogyny and racism is very much a strong motivator for the Trumpers who, let's face it, are the republican party. Oh and I am NOT pulling my money out of my IRA or Savings account.

Expand full comment

The lack of commercial media coverage of any Democratic Party politicians/leaders is one huge way you/we are left with the thoughts that they are "not fighting hard enough" etc. No coverage - no information. That's why MrT has so many media moguls on his "team".

I'm a worried mom. My son is in a special ops training in a branch of the military... I'm scared. I told him if he was asked to do immoral things, we would help him, but I worry about what the orange buffoon will ask my boy to do. He's an adopted grandson and the child of my heart. It's tough being a retiree and dealing with the fear of what he may need to do, under any administration... THIS administration is terrifying to me.

Your choice! Maybe read TOC of Project 2025!

And the interview with and about John Vought! This Project, now called Republican PLAN TO DESTROY AMERICA! Vought wrote some of it! Proud MAGA!Jeffries, Schumer and a couple more !millionaire boys finally get it enough to explain to us! There's references to our losses throughout the noise and at the very end the tension rises and the end is prediction of time and terror!

They plan to crash THEIR market is another part of the plan! And when people default on their mortgages, billionaires will pay pennies on the dollar to buy back the stocks that we will all lose! I'm not sure about ALL THE EMPTY HOMES!

WHY ARE THEY JUST GETTING TO THIS DOC????

Our officials will not be helping us, but the villionaires are benefiting more each day! Democrats are feeding at the trough.

C’mon Annie… we’ve got high speed communication in our hands! Let’s phone call & leave msgs for EACH of our Representatives in the House and both of our Senators in that Chamber!

Once you’ve got the phone numbers /email addresses for each person’s office,Reps & Senators, leave messages every day!

Get some email addresses online and dash off brief (5-7 lines max) salutations w your questions/concerns on that day…

Try this out & report back in a week or two! Nothing may have changed… or some shift may become perceptible in the ‘tone’ of the responses.

You wanna give us some context and sources for this reactionary “advice”? Monitoring one’s money is always wise. What exactly do you believe is going to happen this week?

Expand full comment

Theres not a single new thing happening this week to promote that kind of monetary panic other than the continuing inside job coup filling our government with Fascists. But apparently some people have been in a coma? On top of Mount everest? Under a rock? that they think this is something new. I secured my finances in 2018. But I didn't take every last penny out of every Bank and start stashing money under my mattress.

What is the information spurring this comment regarding pulling your money?

Expand full comment

Oh. You haven't noticed theres been a inside coup job taking place within our government installing fascists for 8 years ?

So glad you're confident they won't grab your money or that you have enough of it not to worry. But I don't think we're at the point that the poster who suggested you pull all your money out of the banks is necessary just yet.

Explain why we should withdraw all our funds now, please?

Expand full comment

I did all that 2019 when I realized the fascists were going to take over the country in a silent coup from within. Before you do all that, read up on Nazi Germany & Fascist Italy. You'll get plenty of pointers. Meanwhile, I don't understand why people are suddenly complaining about nothing being DONE by elected Democrats. A whole lot of us apparently have been screaming into the void for years because it's apparent people were too busy being so centered to pay any attention to the fact that democracy was being stabbed to death like Caesar. Now everybody wants to scream and yell? Y'all too late. Like the Jewish German citizens & their republic democracy minded German citizens, we should all be heading for the Swiss Alps.

Sad,but i kinda agree. Except no one is driving me out of my home . Running away didn't help Germany. It wo t help the USA. THE people have to take a stand. What if none of us paid our taxes?

My thoughts are that they've done relatively fck all. It's as though they're standing around twiddling their thumbs! It's an ineffective party. Both parties are corrupt but I do believe the Republicans are far more so. I'm no longer a dem!

Oh there will be crashing & burning but The Felon & fascists who now have ALL the power, won't be the ones doing it. They're counting on us being just like sheep, acting as if the government is in a "business as ususl" state, being herded into a barn with the doors locked behind. With lots of evil criminal fascists holding gallons of petrol & hundreds of matches outside.

If we keep just talking, democracy & ourselves will be destroyed.

Now is not the time to take the moral high ground. MAGA has started a war on us: our values, our morals, and even our freedom.

We can't play by the rules of the Marquis of Queensbury while the other side has thrown out the rulebook. We must be willing to engage in a street fight.

Project 2025 kills the Federal Reserve... And FDIC! It's been discussed lately because They're finally reading this document and CARE ABOUT. THEIR MONEY!

There is a discussion of the Republican Plan to destroy America! pbs last week about the writer of P2025 regarding the evils that we're going to fight! Vought wrote this section about killing the Federal Reserve and thereby the FDIC!

It's terrifying and is discussed for about 26 minutes!

I'm too tired to go through Meidas, Substack, and my other sources.

A typo I overlooked as I am

Recovering from eye surgery. DOD (Dept of Defense) has to be in scramble mode because the new CIC is a sell-out and the new secretary is by no means qualified—and he has to know it. A soldier with so little credibility and no self discipline whatsoever should have refused the nomination. We are in serious trouble just trying to keep classified docents out of a traitor’s hands. And that just became a lot harder to do.

I am very, very sorry that the entire might just touch. Community is at risk from these very radical Maga. The amount of hate that is spewed over right wing media is astounding. Although I live in a very blue area in a very blue state, I have been very appalled by what I’ve seen on social media from former coworkers, acquaintances and people that I have long belief to be long-term friends. They are just absolutely irrational and hateful how did so many good people get so badly brainwashed at present I’ve suspended all attempts to correct any of their misbelief. I just can’t put up with the vitriol. I have found it impossible to present them with facts when their belief structure is so so strong. Thank you for all that you do for us.
