#Nokings in #Durham Quotes from the crowd. "The country is about the people's voices, not one person's voice."
"When I realized that a State Senator could not ask a question of a Federal employee without being wrestled to the ground, it was time for citizens to take to the streets and protest." 5k+

How Trump’s Law Firm Settlements Circumvent Congress and Violate Federal Spending Laws at www.justsecurity.org/112943/trump...

Remember the #law firms that capitulated to #EOs signed against them? Can the president sidestep #Congress and reallocate #public #funds? It seems that the answer is #no.
How Trump’s Law Firm Settlements Circumvent Congress and Violate Federal Spending Laws
The Trump administration has operated outside the appropriations process and congressional oversight through its law firm settlements.

Feeling down about the capitulation of 'law firms' to what, to a private citizen, looked like extortion. If law firms are caving what hope is there?

And then I read this.

Cheers to those that do not give up in advance. Cheers to those that stand in the void and scream for justice!

260+ rallies across US, calling to keep the USPS out of private hands. #Durham #USPS

USPS, funded itself for ~60 y without taxpayer $ serves everyone alike.

These citizens, concerned for America's future, invested their weekend asking the current administration not to privatize USPS.

Protest at Raleigh Country club going on now!
WRAL news is covering the crowd outside to greet Tillis and let him know that we see and do not agree with his priorities. We want to meet & discuss!
You are not letting up the pressure on Americans. We won't let up either.

Tesla Car Dealership Protest: Stand up against Musk, DOGE, and our constitutional crisis. Today, 4-6pm, 7101 Glenwood Ave, Raleigh, NC, Tesla showroom. You have seen Musk complaining for us to be empathetic after he's told us he sees empathy as a weakness. #nodoge #stopmusk #speakout #showup

A personal invitation was extended to Tillis to attend the town hall in Cary, NC last night. Till is attending a fund raiser at the Raleigh country club at noon today, so he probably could have accepted, but he did not show. Not acceptable Tillis. Meet US!

Raleigh Rally against DOGE. It's not about govt efficiency, they're cutting jobs & funding to provide billionaire's tax cuts.
No cuts: Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security. No DOGE firing Forest Service workers. We're not going to let Tillis rubber-stamp this agenda.

President in Name Only (PINO) Trump & acting president Musk might be able to bamboozle some of the people all of the time & all of the people some of the time but you can't bamboozle all of the people all of the time (to paraphrase Lincoln). #pino #economy

House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt
