RESIST 1. Don't use his name; EVER (47 will do) 2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone; 3. Do not argue with those who support him-it doesn't work, 4. Focus on his POLICIES, not his orange-ness and his mental state; 5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow; 6. No more helpless/hopeless talk; 7. Support artists and the arts; 8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it; 9. Take care of yourselves; And 10. Resist! When you post or talk about him, don't assign his actions to him, assign them to "The Republican Administration, or "The Republicans." This will have several effects: the Republican legislators will either have to take responsibility for their association with him or stand up for what some of them don't like; he will not get the focus of attention he craves.

Spencer Hakimian 50 Nerds of Grey • I have a 100% trade deficit with the lady that irons my suits. She offers something way more efficiently and at a much better price than I can do myself. And in exchange, I spend the time I would otherwise be wasting on pressing my suits offering financial services at 1,000x the hourly GDP rate as I paid her to afford me this time. Am I getting ripped off by her? Should I start steaming my own suits instead of offering financial services? Would that make me better off? Would I be richer because of it?

+ sanderlin 3h What it feels like to be an American right now: We're all on a bus trip, sitting in the back, calmly playing Monopoly, when a madman hijacks the bus and starts driving erratically toward the edge of a cliff. Half of us are screaming and trying to stop the madman, while the other half are yelling at us to stop overreacting and pay attention to the boardgame.

11:03 ... r/fednews u/ruskiytroll • 2h DOGE IS SCARED at The Institute of Museum and Library Services, 955 L'Enfant Plaza. They are about to start taking phones from employees. At this point they'll trace me because I stupidly didn't use a burner account, but DOGE is at IMLS right now trying to figure out why their silent takeover and dismantling didn't work out so silently. At some point they're going to take employee's phones. The new acting director, Keith Sonderling was sworn in this morning in the lobby (even though he's already DepSec of Labor). DOGE is in the offices right now. Employees aren't sure of what's going to happen and why there's security with the DOGE team. PRESS NEEDS TO GET THERE NOW. PROTESTERS NEED TO SHOW UP NOW. DO NOT LET THEM TAKE YOUR LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS AWAY. 11.2k • 642 5

formicfloaker 1d My neighbor barged into my house and started a fistfight with me, saying the house was rightfully his. I started fighting back and called the police. When the police officer arrived, he asked me, if I wanted to stop the fight with my neighbor, why didn't I just give him my house?

Dear Senators Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis, Todd Young and John Curtis: THE RUBICON HAS BEEN CROSSED AND I PRAY YOU RECOGNIZE IT ALSO! Iam an immigrant, a US. Army veteran, a father of five and grandfather, a law-abiding citizen and have been much blessed in America. Our family arrived from Cuba in the 1960's with nothing but love and a determination to be model citizens in the greatest country the word has ever known. For over half a century I was a proud conservative and registered Republican who today has become an Independent voter. I have come to know that life well lived is so much more meaningful than power and money. We, each of us, has the choice every single day to select a good and just path. All of you are patriots. Public servants in the best sense of the word. You have demonstrated your love of country; you understand the importance of the rule of law, separation of powers, and the need to put country above party. Our country today is in crisis. We need you. We now know the Trump administration is built on a foundation of lies • President Zelensky is not a dictator. Putin is. Russia started the war, not Ukraine. • The mob who stormed the capitol and assaulted our police officers were not motivated by love and patriotism. They were criminals, not political prisoners. • Key Trump cabinet members had to reaffirm the lie that Donald Trump actually won the 2020 presidential election. For many, that was the only requirement to be nominated • The Trump administration abandoned the cause of freedom and teamed up with the world's worst oppressors, alienating our closest allies and sparking unnecessary trade wars. • The Trump administration is making the U.S. weaker, attacking our military, law enforcement, a free press and the rule of law - undermining institutions including the courts and most of all, Congress. The Trump administration's assault is moving with head spinning speed. If we don't stop them now: we may never have anot…

Cliff Jerrison @pervocracy It's very hard to maintain mental health because so many coping strategies are based on the idea that your anxiety is unwarranted, and right now needs more of an "okay, extremely warranted but you still gotta water the plants or you'll have fascism AND dead plants" approach
