I renewed my ACLU and NAACP memberships after the demon won and gave a little extra to it. The ACLU took out a full-page ad in the NYT. They will be filing lots of lawsuits. If you can, financially support the ACLU and the NAACP. They will be extremely busy now.

I really resent the fact that we have to pay for our politics AND now lawsuits to stave off corruption and lies which have become political norms! WTF?!!

No worries here about giving up.. every fiber in my being will always be Anti Fascist. I am of the proper 2 word 'Anti-Fascist ' ..definitely not that acoynom antifa.

Call your Congressional representatives- no matter if they are Republican or Democrat.

All Congressional members pay attention to phone calls more than emails. Too many phone calls, on a particular topic/ problem/ person makes them all bloody well nervous.

And when they get nervous➡️ They do something!!!!

Today I called the general office number for the House of Representatives- Ethics committee.

Got a live person on the phone.

Left a short message- tell all on the Ethics committee to release the Ethics Report on Matt Gaetz to the Senate.

Houses of Representatives Ethics committee phone number:

Thank you for this. It true many of us poured money into Democrats who ultimately lost, but if we can still use the legal system to stanch the hemorrhaging of our rights & privileges being eliminated, we will have to find more money to save ourselves. There is nothing we can do about the failures of our government to protect us. Unfortunately, the responsibility remains with us.

Can we fight back? Now all the media are kissing Trump’s butt, so if there is a next election, do or don’t you think most all media back him and him alone? And do or don’t you think that the media will all suppress anything bad another Don and the GOP and only hail praises?

Go to independent media sources like Democracy Now, Mother Jones, Medias Touch Network, Free Speech TV, ProPublica. Financially support them as well.

That’s a great suggestion. However, I don’t think those sources reach enough voters to make up for the trash that MSM puts out.

We know the fascist demagogue’s playbook, but it is not widely read. We can see it unfolding.

The ACLU is prepared to fight against the Trump Administration’s attack on our democracy. You can join the struggle by making a donation, becoming a member and volunteering at your local chapter. https://www.aclu.org/

 THE MAGA CREED

Thank You MAGA for electing a want to be Dictator.

Thank You MAGA for electing a convicted Felon.

Thank You MAGA Veterans for electing a traitor to everything your fellow veterans have sacrificed their lives for to protect and now you defend (our Democracy.) He has no respect for you or your families.

Thank you MAGA Men who choose not to support the women in your life with the right of a woman to have quality health care when it comes to a problem pregnancy!

Thank you MAGA women who choose not to support your fellow women when it comes to providing quality health care during a problem pregnancy!

Thank You MAGA Police Officers who watched on national TV their fellow Police Officers attacked while trying to defend an attack at the Capitol while a congress was in session. Very Brave and non-Political.

Thank you MAGA people from a Variety of Nations who came here and became citizens, because you wanted a better life for you and your family, and now you turn on those who want the same thing. The cruelty that this administration is planning on causing to all these men women and children – yes children is something I do not want to think about.

Thank you MAGA for putting up an American Flag in support of this disgusting human being.

If this is what you think Makes America Great Again you are sadly mistaken. I believe Our founding fathers had something else in mind. We as a nation are much better than this and we prove it every day. When there is a fire, a flood, a tornado, a hurricane, a mud slide etc. we come together to help each other and do not ask what your political or religious beliefs are, we ask how we may help. For me this is what Makes America Great

We need to also amplify those suits. Often I would hear from his faithful in the first administration about a wonderful thing he did that they never realized was litigated against and never actually became law.

I would appreciate it if you could walk through the steps of bringing such a lawsuit. I know that, as you said, there have been tons filed by what appears to be private citizens during the Biden presidency. But how does one get funding to sustain a lawsuit?

More of this please! More strategy less hysteria!
