Former forest ranger, small town news reporter, paralegal, maintanence engineer - Whatever, I've probably done it but it wasn't my fault. I believe in a higher power but I'm not sure about their address, and I'm politically independent & moderate...so far.
Choose your own time - others will decide too.

Back in March, no one thought we could turn out over 7 million in one day. Movements begin & grow when each individual realizes they're not alone.

I know Ezra, Leah, & local Indivisible leaders are working strategies that will give everyone a chance to make contribute & make an impact.

This is just one idea I think can be an option, for anyone with a paycheck - Cancel federal income tax withholding using the option on form W4 :
October 26, 2025 at 9:15 PM
Agreed.

And here again is my own list of actions Indivisible members, or anyone else can use to decide their own tactics :

That would probably be the "conspiracy" to enforce statutes that punish corruption & protect democracy.

So here's my personal advice for anyone who may be empaneled on this jury, or one like it: If instructed to return charges, don't indict. If at trial, don't convict.

It's about smearing anyone who "conspired" to enforce statues that punish corruption & protect democracy.

So here's my personal advice for anyone who may be empaneled on this jury, or one like it: If instructed to return charges, don't indict. If at trial, don't convict.

That would probably be the "lawfare" intended to enforce statutes that punish corruption & protect democracy.

So here's my personal advice for anyone who may be empaneled on this jury, or one like it: If instructed to return charges, don't indict. If at trial, don't convict.

There's not much doubt this hack will probably be targeting the "conspiracy" to punish corruption & protect democracy.

I understand & agree with most of these comments. It's natural & human for everyone who values our democracy to feel violated, & need to vent the outrage.

But at some point we have to stop just reacting. This regime is weaker than it looks, & vulnerable on many sides. Let's start fighting back.

Agreed.

General strikes, targeted strikes, boycotts, disinvestment - any tactic that can leverage economic power against regime funding is needed & should be used.

But coodinating mass action nationwide isn't easy & not for everyone. Here's something anybody with a paycheck can do right now :
October 22, 2025 at 4:03 PM
If the premise here is that organized opposition & public protest somehow reinforce tryranny & oppression - I hope you can cite some sources that aren't regime controlled .

My own thoughts were written up months ago, and don't need more space than this :
October 22, 2025 at 3:58 AM
True thing.

And here's my own list, for the cause :

I know what you mean.

But in the military, bullshit orders are part of the job.

The line is : Unlawful orders. Those may come. When they do, it's important for all of us to reach out to everyone in uniform with this message :
October 20, 2025 at 1:13 AM
Vets need to keep standing up ! Unless the regime in Washington is stopped the military will continued to be misused & abused as a tool for tyranny.

But everyone who serves can choose courage over dishonor. It's time to reach out to all those in uniform with this message - Now :
October 19, 2025 at 5:16 PM
October 19, 2025 at 2:20 AM
Yes. It's wrong.

But it's also wrong to think that ordinary, individual citizens are powerless.
If you work for a living, & want to protect your freedom, use your own power to defund tyranny.

Take federal income tax withholding off your paycheck. Crash their cash :
October 19, 2025 at 2:17 AM
Yes.

But let's add a tax strike too.
NO ONE has a duty to pay fascists. So stop.

Use your own power to defund tyranny. Opt out of federal income tax withholding from your paycheck. The workforce is 135 million strong. If 7 mil -just 5.2%-did this, the regime's cashflow crashes:

October 16, 2025 at 11:24 PM
As long as these hacks stay unchallenged & in power, every institution created to serve the public with fairness will be twisted & weaponized for corrupt purposes.

Until that ends I'll keep saying - Stop paying for tyranny. Take federal income tax withholding off your paycheck. Crash their cash :

It's one way to choke corruption, and send your own message to wannabe fascists.

How to do it, and how many could do it :
October 16, 2025 at 3:03 AM
To everyone outraged by the corruption & attacks on deomocracy by the regime in Washington, stop reacting & start acting.

Use your own power to defund tyranny. The US workforce is 135 million strong. If 7 mil - just 5.2% - did this, the extremist money train goes off the rails :
October 15, 2025 at 8:22 PM
To everyone watching as the regime in Washington targets Dems & opposition groups for economic pain during the shutdown : Stop reacting & start acting. Flip the script.

Use your own power to defund tyranny. The workforce is 135 million strong. If 7 mil -just 5.2%-did this, their money runs out :
October 15, 2025 at 7:01 PM
Each time this Supreme Court throws out precedent & guts federal law to indulge in fringe theories with scant legal reasoning, they reward corrupt political interests - & erode what little public credibility they have left.

It's time for The People to question their legitmacy, & act for justice:
