STAY HOME FRIDAYS
From now until Trump’s regime falls, we can protest without putting ourselves at risk by simply not spending any money on any Friday. Go to work, go to school, but then go home, or get together with friends and family. But SPEND NO MONEY. /1
@ReidHornet The GOP is much better at playing politics as a long game. It took them 45 years to engineer the current situation, and the kept everyone in line and until Trump used MAGA to hijack their planned American Century under one-party rule. /2x
@ReidHornet That’s not quite how I’d frame it. The problem Democrats have is that their left flank is impatient, and goes rogue when everything doesn’t get fixed in a single presidential term. It’s usually the Greens that break ranks, as in 2000 & 2024. In 2016, it was the Bernie Bros. /1
@LakotaMan1 Trump can demand all he wants, but changing the name of state would almost certainly require an amendment to that state’s constitution, which would only become official when Congress passes legislation accepting the change. Neither of these things is likely to happen.
Fuck Trump. I’m demanding America change its name back to Turtle Island.
Turtle Island is North America’s original Indigenous name. It’s what we called it before ignorant colonizers like Trump arrived UNINVITED.
@thejackhopkins What’s more, once they become citizens, immigrants and their first generation children skew conservative in their voting anyway. It’s just fear-mongering, to rile up the racist GOP base.
If you were an undocumented immigrant, why would you have any desire to vote? You. Wouldn't.
Talk about unnecessarily flagging yourself for deportation.
The Republican party has sold this lie for years.
It has never made sense.
That's why they continue telling the lie: the people they're lying to have no requirement that it make sense.
They just love to hate.
It gives them a reason to.
@DougWahl1 Most of them are, at a minimum, trying to *influence* the election, in ways that are unethical, although they may not be illegal. And why wouldn’t they? They invest a $10 million, $100 million, or more, and they get back tens of BILLIONS in no-bid government contracts.
@smc429 We went down this road with Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins in 2000, urging people to vote for Nader, to send the Democrats a message. That arguably got us 9/11, and definitely got us the Iraq War.
'I Didn't Know': Collins Says She Couldn't Have Known Kavanaugh Would Vote to Overturn Roe v. Wade
“I’m very disappointed in his vote to overturn Roe v. Wade,” Collins said of Kavanaugh. “There was no way for me to anticipate that.”

@sjkeegs@RufioNorseman@DougWahl1 Unfortunately, these people treat the Constitution the same way they treat the Bible. They let other people—people with political agendas—tell them what it says, instead of reading it for themselves.
