Our Democratic Senators and Reps can support this vocally, and also by organizing locally, using all their "staff."
(It ain't like they're doing anything else, right?)

Family/neighborhood dinners instead of going out.
Fix your car, your washer/dryer, etc instead of buying new. No new clothes, no ski trips (except using a non-US carrier to go skiing in Canada).

*** NO SPENDING UNTIL TRUMP GOES!***

We need all our Dem Reps and Senators to get up on their hind legs NOW and support a

***NATIONAL STRIKE***

I know many can't skip work cause we'd get fired, but I think we can all do this:

***ONLY BUY ESSENTIALS***

No new cars, no home improvements, no dining out. The oligarchs will hate it.

Sorry to the many new followers, I've been neglecting Bluesky recently. I'll try to catch up.

Remember in "Goodfellas," when the "wise guys" take over the restaurant?
Then they steal all the liquor and stuff, and run up loads of debt?
Then, when it all falls apart, they burn it down and walk away?
Now you know what it looks like when it's done to a whole country.

#NationalStrike
Due to our draconian labor laws, crappy social safety net, and non-existent health coverage, the idea of not going to work in protest is, of course, frightening.

But what choice is there?

He's telegraphed his plans every step of the way, and there's been no "checks" or "balances."
WE ARE THE DICTATORSHIP WE WARNED US ABOUT!

He bombed boats in international waters.
Congress and SCOTUS mumbled.
He said the CIA was acting in Venezuela.
Congress and SCOTUS said nothing.
Claimed he ordered a strike on a warehouse supposedly housing drugs.
Congress/SCOTUS stayed silent.
Now he's bombed Venezuela and snatched their leader.

I know it's my childhood rearing up, but I'm 60-odd years old.
Too late for therapy, I guess I'll just have to deal.
But it's just another reason why I hate this time of year.

When I see "kid's" TV shows or movies where the main character is bullied at school and/or at home, it triggers a PTSD-like response in me. I have to leave the room when my grandchildren watch these "wimpy kid" shows.
And it's a prevalent theme in holiday movies.
Is it just me?

C'mon ICE, lighten up. It's not like it was a NUCLEAR sub that was launched at you.

If yesterday's election results are a precursor of the midterms.......

Drumpf will make sure there are no midterms.

Got this text, not impressed

Probably in boxes, in a Mar a Lago bathroom

In other news, NASA plans a mission to confirm or deny whether the Earth is flat.

"Spontaneously applauds?"
Some serious "Dear Leader" crap going on there.

ICE Barbie Moans About Agents’ Lunch Options in Chicago Noem said ICE agents are in need of some bathroom and lunch breaks.

Let's force the residents of Chicago provide food & housing to the troops, which is against the 3rd Amendment. After all, they're already breaking the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendments, what's one more?

What I'm hearing: "My National Guard can beat up your National Guard."
Childish taunt that could lead to a Civil War.

And we didn't start the fire....

So, The Purge has begun.

Do most conservatives know that if they're not "convervative enough", they might be killed by a more conservative conservative? And they say the "radical left" is violent?

You mean "the original Nazis," right?

Not enough characters....

"Redistricting"
"Voter ID"
"No Guns for Trans"
Alligator Alcatraz Re-Opens
Ukraine Abandoned
Gaza Destroyed

Venezuela.
"Department of War."
Tariffs.
10% of Intel.
CDC.
ICE Gestapo.
Occupation of Blue Cities.
Pedophiles in charge.

We're reeling towards the end of the USA.

But you think "it'll be OK..."
.....Until it isn't.
Until it affects you personally, right?

The reciprocal to "EAT THE RICH" is "FEED THE POOR."
One tenth of one percent of their net worth would feed them all.
Then maybe they could sleep better.

Every couple of days it stops me dead in my tracks and knocks the breath out of me to realize how bad things are gonna get for how many people in how many ways, and how it is all down to the petty insane whims of one of the worst people America has ever produced.

A moment of levity

Definitions of "Bliss":
