We need to get out into the streets!
Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down.
And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Seriously! I think many of us could come up with a few things you could do in addition to complaining (which you aren’t even doing).You could start by withholding your vote on cabinet nominees.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

Feels like “we the people” need to hit the streets. The elected D’s seem frozen, our courts move too slow and history shows Hitler dismantled the German economy in 2 months-time isn’t on our side. With so much happening fast what/ where should we protest? Experts please offer actionable suggestions.
