In the past few weeks there's been a sense that Trump's politics have won some kind of overwhelming semi-permanent victory. This is my reply.

Three weeks in, and we are already looking at a third impeachment of Trump. Rep Jamie Raskin said he needs just "two" Republican votes and the process can begin. Meanwhile we resist and Republican support of Trump cracks.

Keep up the pressure!

The GOP dam is starting to crack under the pressure of Trump/Musk's evil stupidity and OUR anger - the Senate's office is getting 1,600 angry calls per minute!

Keep the pressure up indefinitely, and we'll see GOP lawmakers turning on Trump.

Protests are ongoing as resistance to Trump solidifies. Most notably was Trump's capitulation to the courts today over Musk's tampering with the treasury - a huge victory.

Here are three things you can do/keep doing to maintain the resistance until we all win:

That the Trump Admin and DOJ says that it is going to comply with this court order betrays that Trump/Musk do not believe they themselves have the power to fulfill a coup, otherwise they would just openly refuse to obey the order.

Keep up the pressure - every day - every night!
BREAKING: we just blocked Musk & Trump out of the Treasury systems!

Court order just secured — big win by us at @sddaction.bsky.social & our partners including @publiccitizen.bsky.social!

It has begun - Democrats are calling for articles of impeachment to be drafted.

ONWARDS! KEEP THE PRESSURE UP!
Green: I rise to announce that I will bring articles of impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.

If you are in the DC area - get your ass out and join the protests. Otherwise, protest however you can, spread the word, and raise hell for the fascists attacking us.

We shall keep the pressure up as long as it takes for us to win.

Trump knows that he has to move quickly if he wants to be King of America. This is why he's let Musk run loose to destroy everything. This is Trump's downfall, however. Resistance is mounting, we are mobilizing, and Trump's weakness is exposed.

This is a must watch video for all of us right now. Trump/Musk are doing this because they know they're using borrowed time - they know if they do not move quickly, they don't have a prayer in hell of success.

Get angry and get mobilized.

The DNC has elected "knife-fighter" Ken Martin to be the party's new Chairman. We do not just need fighters, we need people who can take the war directly to MAGA. Martin is a great choice for a warrior champion.

As Trump attempts to make fascism a reality in America, we have to realize that we are all still only human and that we have not yet been beaten. Like soldiers in war, we must give ourselves breaks to be rejuvenated to fight longer and harder to final victory.

The marriage between Trump and Elon Musk is a match made in Hell and will eventually doom MAGA.

The two were allied this time in trying to eliminate the debt ceiling, but "this town" isn't big enough for two egos as large as theirs at the same time.
