Nothing is off the table for the fascist Trump administration, absolutely nothing.
I feel like I remember Mrs. Trump and Mr. Musk both talking about "terrorism". I remember Mrs. Trump even had a jacket for the occasion that said "I really don't care, do you?" to flaunt her hatred for our country.
Believe the "Don't really care" jacket was for a tour of a disaster zone, or maybe one of the kids-in-cages camps.
Sounds like "terrorism" to me. Deport deport deport!
Relax everyone, this is all a part of the democratic process.
Gestapo level shit. Need to rise up. No one cares anymore, and no one is willing to do what it will take.
I’m not convinced you would need to rise up. Just collectively stop going to work. The house of cards falls pretty quickly on capitalism if there are no workers to exploit.
All the power is in the populace if they all agree to take it back together.
It’s the laziest thing a person could do really. Just stay at home, ration food and wait until the billionaire folks lose their minds.
With at least 70% of us living paycheck to paycheck, and 48% of us having $1,000 or less in savings, I don't think that a national strike is likely. I agree that it would be by far the most impactful thing we could collectively do, but hell - at least half of us are one missed paycheck away from homelessness, and America really fucking hates the homeless. Combine that with the fact that most people get their family health insurance from their job, and the fact that our Senate just voted to practically obliterate medicare / medicaid, and you get an extra level of devastating consequences for losing your job. And people would lose their jobs. Even if a significant amount of people are participating in the nation-wide strike, employers would be very heavy-handed with the dismissals. I just don't think that it's in the cards for us.

I think a general strike would be effective, but dangerous when people are kept so close to poverty.
Remember the pandemic, we "all" stopped going into work? Except the grocery store workers, and the food processor workers, and those that distribute the food, and water treatment plant staff, and the power plant, and hospital staff, and taxis, and drug store workers, and so on and on. Do those people stop working? How many people can't obtain the things they need beyond their next paycheck? What if in addition, the store shelves are empty?
I agree, it's the most feasible way to fight back, so don't get me wrong. But just like union dues and preparation enable a local strike, accounting for food, water, amenities...a general strike would need to do that or else we would be fighting a war of attrition not just against billionaires with multi-year bunkers but also against ourselves.
We are terrified of losing our jobs. We are told there is always another person waiting for your job. We are often a couple pay checks away from ruin.
Maybe we need to stop spending. Don't buy it if we don't need it. Live Spartan for a month.
Human MAGAs should all inject bleach. It's good for you. I heard it on Fox News.
First: ~~Human~~ MAGAs.
Second: I’m more of a proponent for aqueous fluoroantimonic acid instead of bleach, but do recognize the effectiveness and cost savings provided by bleach.
Wow, look at don knowing fancy words, like Aqua's fluoride animatronic acid
Thank you, fartographer ~stop it, autocorrect, I meant the f goddammit~, for your kind if maybe confusing compliment

Whoa there America. That sounds like some good ol” fashioned American fascism right there
The fuckass conservatives have long since been brainwashed into fantasizing about being fascist, and the democratic leadership has done pretty much fuckall about it.

No we're pretty fucking far from ok.
No, but all the conservative evangelical "but suffering brings us closer to God" waste of space type people that want to live in the 1940s sure are having a hell of a hurrah though.
Help
Lol...no.
Stupid question.
Well, you can only trust things you read online so much, it’s always nice to hear from real people.

For anyone in France, we might need some help
Probably shouldn’t have made all those white flag jokes huh?
Grandfather fought in WWII and had nothing but kind words for the people of France. Never could understand the fuckery of those jokes, which is probably for the better.

No.
I'm stocking up on ammunition in case I need it for self-defense and using a no-log VPN when criticizing the government.
So I'm gonna go with "No."
Jesus. I’m sorry to hear my friend.
fyi there is no such thing as a no log vpn; be careful out there.
also look into reloading. it’s not only economical but nerdy fun too.
