I created an app/website specifically for political discussions. Political ideologies don't matter - but treating each other with dignity, respect & integrity does. I'd love 2 have u come join the discussions, create groups,& share sourced information.

My co-admin shared this with our farcebook group:

Reclaiming <Our> AmericanDemocracy...

A former generation of wealthy U.S. conservatives backed candidates like Barry Goldwater because they wanted to conserve American institutions.

But this group - Thiel, Musk, Sacks, Karp, and Vance, among others doesn't seem to want to conserve much of anything, at least not anything that occurred after the 1920s, including Social Security, civil rights, and even women's right to vote.

As Thiel has written:

"The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics. Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians have rendered the notion of 'capitalist democracy' into an oxymoron."

OCCUPY DEMOCRATS

This needs to go viral:

We are being informed that this Saturday, June 14th, Proud Boys and other Trump brownshirts plan to infiltrate the anti-Trump "No Kings" protests, attack the police and destroy property, to falsely justify Trump sending in the National Guard.

If violence breaks out at your protest, SIT DOWN.

Leave only the provocateurs standing.

Please share far and wide.

Musk hacked the 2024 election using Starlink to access vote tabulation software and inflate bullet ballot numbers in swing states that went offline during coordinated Russian bomb threats. It was all planned.

@CWJediMaster. 8h

Mathematically, it is a near improbability. When you consider the fact that he also managed to win by the exact margin needed to avoid a recount in many of those states, it becomes mathematically IMPOSSIBLE.

THIS DERANGED FOOL CALLED YOU STUPID

Trump Calls America A "Stupid Country" Because He Has To Obey The Constitution

As the US Supreme Court was preparing to hear arguments from the administration about doing away with the Constitutional right to birthright citizenship, Donald Trump got on Truth Social and had another epic meltdown. This time, however, he took things further than ever by declaring the United States a "stupid country" if he's not allowed to violate the Constitution. Every voter should be offended at this man proclaiming that NOT being allowed to violate the law is "stupid."

IF THIS IS NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU REALIZE YOUR MISTAKE NOTHING IS.

I honestly wouldn't put it past the Republican Administration to do exactly this.

I fear the Trump administration will plant violent protesters among our peaceful protests. They will use this as an excuse to use force against us. From this moment forward, at every protest, we must do the following:

The moment violence or property damage begins, EVERY OTHER PROTESTER must immediately sit on the floor or the ground in silence, with signs down. The media needs to film this. This will reveal paid fake thugs posing as protesters becoming violent. The sitting down must spread like a "wave" in a football stadium throughout the crowd of protesters.

Local police officers will immediately see WHO is doing the damage, and the rest of us will demonstrate our non-violent innocence and retain our Constitutional right to peaceful protest. Retweet, repost, and shout it from the rooftops at every protest you attend. #Gandhi

This post received several reports, so I did do some investigation.

I reached out to the 50501 Idaho organizers, and they have advised that while the protest seems to have been organized by a well-meaning but inexperienced group of individuals, there's definitely going to be some counter protestors at this one.

It appears that a local MAGA business owner is also promoting the event as a place to - pardon my language - "own the libtards" and is offering half-price drinks to counter protestors. Alcohol plus angry MAGAs equals a dangerous situation. Furthermore, if any violence happens, even if instigated by the drunk MAGA counter protesters, it is something that would be would be weaponized against 50501 on the national level and would greatly damage the movement.

This will not be a safe event for anyone to attend. Please do not attend.

We highly encourage you to get out and protest, but please pick another, safer event.

The screenshot is a response from California 50501 representative verifying status with Idaho.

Although the emergency alert has been removed, the unknown levels remain extremely high. Other intel information is stated above from California representative investigation.

This information has been successfully broadcast and recorded, with alert flags reset back to Stand-By.

Please reach out with any information or concerns regarding safety, threats, or other intel reports or communications relevant to security. Thank you everyone to their time and dedication to safety, and the reporters replying to 50501 administration. And thank you to the California representative that responded with a follow-up investigation on the alert.

Remain vigilant. Stay Safe.

Hey, Montana organizer here, we haven't had counter protesters at our events in Helena yet, but we know that is inevitable. Counter protesters will show up at some point (especially as the weather warms and protests get bigger) as they did in 2020 and I fully disagree with the idea of not going because of the threat of counter protesters from an alcohol serving establishment that isn't particularly close to the protest location.

Everyone should make their own choices and think critically about their own safety before and during each protest.

I personally am not backing down to Nazis.

EDIT: Just tacking on that I'm confused by "national" 50501 folks being scared about this when any experienced organizer knows that getting the local PD involved for protest security is Protest Organizing 101. I'm not trying to call anyone a n00b, but this really

Morning laugh.

A Trump supporter was seated next to an older woman on an airplane and he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

The old woman, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger:

"What would you want to talk about?"

"Oh, I don't know," said the man. "How about how they stole the election in 2020 and Donald Trump should be president."

"Okay," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?"

The man, visibly surprised by the old woman's question, thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."

To which the old woman replies, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss politics, when you don't know shit?"
