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:

202-225-7103

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 need a Democrat, Mitch McConnell on our side.

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/

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.

Why stay on twitter?

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!

Two can play the DELAY game.

I understand the strategy to at least delay some of their actions, but given that trump ignores laws and rules, what would stop him from implementing a program while the case is still in the courts?
