With all the anxiety inducing chaos, it's hard to sit around and wait for someone in the Democratic party to step up. The only people I see speaking up on a regular basis is Jasmine Crockett and AOC. It doesn't surprise me that they are both women of color.
But, the silver lining is that the state Attorneys General are stepping up and suing the pants off the Trump administration...and they're winning. I just heard yesterday that a judge declared all the firings of federal employees were unconstitutional because it was done through the OMB office. He said they can't fire people outside of their own department.
Another judge said that they can't continue to without the money for USAID as it had already been appropriated by Congress.
So there is resistance. But with the breakneck speed of Trump and Elon taking a sledge hammer to federal agencies, it just doesn't feel the resistance is keeping up.
I am currently participating in economic blackout events. There are several coming up for this month and next month. I restacked a note about it yesterday. I believe this is what we need to do, deprive them of as much money as we possibly can. That's the only thing that Oligarchs understand.
Thanks for your comment, Sarah. It definitely is hard to be patient with the opposition to the fascist scumbags in the current administration. I want to see action, like Right Now! However, after I calm down a bit, I realize these things take time. We just have to hang in there and not get discouraged.
You are so right about the Oligarchs. Money is all they care about. We participated in yesterday’s economic blackout and will do so in the future.
I'm right there with you. I am probably one of the least patient people you will ever meet, especially when it comes to bullies like Trump. I stand up to bullies, even if it isn't directed towards me. I despise them.
I hope the American people take a good look in the mirror today and realize that in the past, we provided solutions to the World's problems. Now, because of Trump, we have become THE problem. I hope everyone in MAGA land is ashamed and embarrassed. If this doesn't convince them that Trump and Vance are morally bankrupt, I don't know what will.
Unfortunately, many of the core MAGAs are morally bankrupt, too. I can only hope enough of those misguided folks who switched from voting for Obama and Biden to voting for a convicted felon, will eventually see the error of their ways, and come back to their senses. 🤞
My solution: No one should pay taxes this year. They aren't playing by the rules of law, so why should we. Should we pay Musk and the King taxes when they don't paytaxes? We are just giving them our money to pass out to their wealthy Magas to keep the rest of us in line. What say you, America? (Including those on The Gulf of Mexico).

Sounds fair, Kate. By the way, I'm thinking about changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of Norm. Has a nice ring, no?
