It is a tough situation but not one that has room for people to sit on the sidelines! Being SCARED is normal BUT THIS IS NOT NORMAL!!! The FEAR needs to be turned into action NOW! Later will be too late and then FEAR WILL BE DAILY LIFE!!!!!!

Our US president is aligned with war criminal, PUTIN, so of course, with Trump in the presidency, even though the American people are aligned with Democratic nation, Ukraine, the US president prefers autocratic, NON-democratic leaders & nations. Trump is all about Trump, what he can gain. He is NOT aligned with democracy or the American people.

And all during the attacks, EU nations were guarding their air space. Everything is upside-down. Those who are already suffering pay an even greater price. And the U.S. becomes a criminal nation as well. Try that on—because it fits!

It is disgusting that he can't even do isolation correctly. Trump's interference in Israel, and blind eye to Russia telegraphs his desire to be one of 3 power dictators in the world.

Instead of continuing to tell us what you know doesn't help change things

Why not help organize

NATIONWIDE STRIKE, protests and a lot of talk haven't done any of us any good. And more paid subscribers neither.

Organize what's been done before and will work.

people, are the last line of defense.

To reclaim our democracy, we must face an uncomfortable truth: we must halt the engine that fuels this regime. We must, together, choose to disrupt the very systems it relies upon. This means a collective act of non-cooperation. It means temporarily stopping the flow of productivity that empowers those who seek to undermine us. It means, for a time, accepting financial pain.

I understand the gravity of these words. I know the fear and uncertainty that such a prospect evokes. Families will struggle. Businesses will face hardship. But I ask you: what is the cost of losing our democracy? What is the price of living under a system where our rights are eroded, our voices are silenced, and our future is dictated by a few? That cost, my friends, is far greater and far more enduring than any temporary economic pain we might endure.

Think of those who came before us – who risked everything, who shed blood and treasure, to establish and preserve this nation. They endured famine, war, and unimaginable sacrifice for the promise of a free society. Are we, in this generation, less capable of defending that legacy?

This is not about surrender. This is about strategic withdrawal of our energy and resources from a system that has become weaponized against us. By stopping our collective productivity, we starve the regime of its power. We deny it the resources it needs to perpetuate its control. We create an undeniable crisis that forces a reckoning.

This will be painful. There is no sugarcoating it. But we are a resilient people. We are ingenious. We will organize. We will support each other through community, through shared resources, and through the unbreakable bonds of our common purpose. We must prepare for this pain, knowing that it is the necessary path to a greater good.

The choice before us is stark: a brief, intense period of shared hardship for the promise of a free future, or a slow, agonizing slide into authoritarianism with consequences that will echo for generations.

Let us rise to this challenge. Let us stand together, united in our resolve. Let us choose freedom, no matter the cost. Our democracy, our future, depends on it.

God bless America!

Aren't you Hanneke?

I'm new to this so it said author unknown? Anyway, who are you referring to when you say Help us organize? My feelings are that we need t have the vast majority of people vote for elected leaders that will do our bidding, and I don't want these elected officials thinking up solutions, because they are the ones that have fucked up America and the world. This is what Dean Koontz wrote;

With a measure of responsibility unmatched by generations before ours, we have entrusted our lives and futures to professionals and experts who convince us that we have to little knowledge or wit to make decisions of importance about the management of society. This is the consequences of our gullibility and laziness.

DEAN KOONTZ

I want my written Mandate to be given to every American, and I want to organize through my soon to become live podcast on every block in America a team of Loving Believers to hand this out to everyone, and if someone doesn't agree with this or them, to be as civil and respectful as can be. We don't need to become hostile ,we need to be understanding and loving always.. here's my mandate; 🇺🇸THE PEOPLE DECLARE; AMERICA BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE 🇺🇸

We are the rightful owners. The government is our employee. And justice is long overdue.

We, the People of the United States of America, hereby declare that:

• IMPEACH AND CONVICT TRUMP & VANCE!

• The government is not our ruler, but our employee — hired, funded, and directed by us, the sovereign citizens of America.

• For too long, that employee has acted against our will, against our interests, and in service to corporate and financial masters who have bought the law, corrupted the courts, and captured our democracy.

• The fruits of our labor have been stolen, our families buried in debt, our bodies broken by stress, and our dreams deferred — all the while; a corrupted government, protected by corrupted attorneys, enriched its donors, protected its cronies, and silenced its critics.

• We have been denied the most basic human guarantees: Free health, Free education, housing, and dignity — not because we can’t afford them, but because greed & corruption has stood in the way.

Today, We the People Say:

✅ We are the owners of this nation — not banks, not billionaires, not politicians and not the corrupted attorneys.

✅ The American government is our employee, and our Public Servants will serve us, or be fired, or indicted, convicted and imprisoned.

✅ We grant ourselves the bonus we were always owed:

• Free health care, dental care, & prescriptions. No more Insurance companies, no more HMO’s, no more PPO’s, no more deductibles, no more co-pays. No Insurance company employee will lose their job.

• Free education, free childcare for the poorest families from birth until 18 years of age, and open 24/7. This includes universities and technical schools, but no private schools from kindergarten through 12th grade.

• No more Income Taxes if you earn less than $1,000,000.00. No I.R.S. agent will lose their job.

• Unconscionable Debt-free lives.

• A stable home and no property taxes on our personal residences.

• A living wage for a reasonable decent life.

• Time to raise and care for our children, to care for our elders, to care for the children, to care for the poor, to care for the middle class, to protect the rich as well, to care for our sick, and to care for our Great Veterans.

• Equal rights for everyone. We are a secular Nation. You have the Right to worship your religion, or not believe in a religion, this is a must for America to Prevail as a Democratic Country, with a Democratic Government .

• A Woman’s body belongs to the Woman; The Woman makes every decision about her body.

• Control of our own future & spread our happiness and prosperity to the World!

• Like China, America will print our money with no National Debt, & we will retire The Federal Reserve Banking Act. America will print all the money necessary to keep our Democracy free and prosperous and keep the U.S. dollar valuable worldwide.

• If an Immigrant is in the USA illegally, and they have no weapons or violence in their history, we must allow them to apply for asylum or citizenship. For over 70 years our Government allowed and caused the immigration issue to become uncontrollable. Humanely & practicable, this is our best solution. Get caught coming over the border illegally now, means 1 year detention, then immediate deportation and no hearing.

✅ And we say never again will we be ruled by fear, trapped by excessive debt, or sold off to the highest bidder.

This is not revolution — this is our reward for developing a great Democracy and our hard work.

This is not utopia — this is justice.

This is not theory — this is what happens when the people remember they are the sovereign power in a free nation.

We are not asking.

We are not pleading.

We are restoring what is ours.

And we will never give it back.

AMERICA; FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, OF THE PEOPLE…..

FOR OUR PEOPLE, BY OUR PEOPLE, OF OUR PEOPLE…..

LOOK FOR ME TO BE PODCASTING SOON, THANKS

EXPLANATION TO WHAT TRUMP THE DICTATOR WILL DO AND IS DOING

I'll tell you what Trump and his administration will do to everyone once Trump becomes the absolute dictator of The United States of America which is upon us now.. The Conservative Supreme Court justices have cowardly and criminally, are doing whatever Trump wants them to do, so they are guilty of tyranny against our Constitution, and Obstruction of Justice at least, and that goes for the Republicans in Congress as well the House & Senate. I've been in Federal Prison twice for trafficking in marijuana without guns or violence in my case, just the weed. Dictator prison officials are just that, dictators. As their prisoner you will do whatever they tell you to do it, and if you don't your punishment will be immediate, and there is nothing, and I mean nothing you can do to prevent it, nothing. Even if you have been a faithful supporter of Trump, that will not matter, just like the Dictator's of the prison are, even if they liked you. This is an interesting story I'm going to tell you now. Just today I was getting my hair cut, and she said she won't discuss politics at all when I tried t explain the current situation. Basically, she said she felt helpless and there's nothing we can do. And she said many many people she knows feel the same way, and others she said are just too bored and / or lazy to give a fuck, her exact words, good choice as far as I'm concerned. As you know or don't know is that I'm about ready to do my podcasting, and it's about money and politics, because in politics it's all about the money. As a matter of fact; IN LIFE IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY." Here's my Manifesto / Mandate and I want to get this in ever person's hand so that we can garner such a vast majority of Americans that will vote for the people / candidates that will agree to take our campaign money and follow our doctrine to the T!!! here's what Dean Koontz wrote;

With a measure of responsibility unmatched by generations before ours, we have entrusted our lives and futures to professionals and experts who convince us that we have to little knowledge or wit to make decisions of importance about the management of society. This is the consequences of our gullibility and laziness.

I agree with all you state here but WE THE PEOPLE have to take our country back and I am trying to find the groups that organized the protest. No government employee will do anything to benefit us. We have to rid all of the mafia crooks currently destroying our Country. The senate and Congress won't impeach or have the felon put in jail. Between the demented orange clown who has surrounded himself with Russian oligarchs and American CEOs ( the greedy billionaires) and they call the shots and the orange clown is allowed to be seen on TV. Why do we think the GOP is so afraid of their threads 🤔

Like Putin, someone may fall out of a window.

Only WE THE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER.

So yes you are correct and I appreciate your knowledge.

We do it one block at a time, I want at least 80% of the voters to vote for the people that we trust, to make America great, with us!!! My Mandate is only the beginning. I'm thrilled that I'm finally going to be able to share my views of equality for all....if you can find someone to help you hand out on your block, in your building, or at a gas station, requesting anyone that agrees with my Mandate, and hand it to them, to contact you if they will just do the same thing as you're doing, handing out Mandates. But you should make a generic email address for communicating. And give yourself a nickname like Change@gmail.com and you are the Change that is needed. And I know my name butwhatthefukdoiknow will offend some, but it gets everyone's attention and I don't want the glory, I want paradise for all on Planet Earth. You'll learn my real name when I start podcasting! Peace
