I was at the Bernie/ AOC rally in Denver yesterday. The crowds were huge, the lines to get into the Park were so long we gave up and sat on the city/ county building steps. The energy was fantastic.
Indivisible.org is the best source for information on current local actions in every state or county. You find your local organization and they will let you know what actions are being planned in your community. People should also check out generalstrikeus.com and sign up for a nationwide general strike.
I just got back from the Bernie/AOC rally in Tucson…20,000+ strong, lots of young people as well. Lots of hunger for a peaceful yet focused and forceful movement to counter Trump and his billionaire buddies.
I was there with my sister and thoroughly enjoyed the energy of the rally. AOC and Bernie gave rousing speeches. 4,000 RSV’d, 20,000 showed up! So good to see such a large and boisterous crowd!
Watching the MAGAKLAN get ( politically ) b!tch slapped is something I'm hoping for. These dopes need to be sent packing. They don't understand what it is to be an American or to share in American values.
Having differences and dissent doesn't make you an enemy of the state. Peaceful protest and dissent are patriotic and move our nation forward not backward.
The MAGAKLAN want to take us backward. It's exactly why they fear power sharing and open debate over ideas. They hate it because they don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to equal debate. Their thinking and ideas are a vapid as a black hole. They only know what the " dear leader " tell them to do.
Great to hear Jen. They are very "ill advised" and while they may be idiots in some ways - in other ways they are very cunning. Let them be blown away...Let them be so taken aback that this maga horror show gets written into the history books for it's spectacular demise.
WE must All prepare and become ready for this year's 21st Tea Party moment.
They have totally misjudged the integrity and resolve of today's America's people. The ideals of our 248 year old story they may believe can be thwarted or twisted but this attack and malfeasance has helped to bring to the forefront our fierce love for our country.
Anyone who knows what it means to become free and to then live with rights and freedom when before there were only limitations - knows that these vast many millions of people are never going back, will never give up, or give in. There is no going back for women, for people of color, for anyone whose has been recognized for their human value over the past 50 plus years.
Let them come to know the full measure of our resolve and our love for the full promise of our precious United States. Let them see what they have so underestimated. Let them see US Rise and let them hear us Roar and step into the full promise that we know this America is truly ready to be.
Cunning idiots they may be - but they will soon find out that they're outmatched, outnumbered, outwitted, and very very much outvoted. We can and we will crush this... so much so that this history books will remember this very time and our era. Let us All become ready for our 21st Tea Party moment.
Thank you for this “They have totally misjudged the integrity and resolve of today's America's people. “. For the past decade in our community led by Dee Wallace, we have been “asking”( to ask is to claim or demand in Hebrew) and also part of The Good Book “ask and it shall be given seek and ye shall find. Seek first the kingdom of heaven within”.
“ I AM the United States of America who loves itself”. “By the power of God that I Am, I Am creating integrity, truthfulness, dignity, respect for all persons, health, wellbeing , honor, clarity…” and the list of universal values continues to grow.

I wanted to be at that rally so bad; but I had a meeting that I couldn't get out of! 34,000 People, I think that Bernie and AOC were quite surprised! I will be at the rally on April 5th. I have a workshop, that day; but I won't miss this rally! I'm getting fired up!
I hope you know how much you are doing for Democracy and the American people. This article was a much needed guide for those of us who are feeling lost and bewildered. You are a True Patriot, Thank You, Steve, and will reStack ASAP 💯👍🇺🇸
Is your vote SAFE? Will your vote be purged by vigilante challengers? Scared? Get Angry Protest
The Nazis(aka Republicans) SAVE Act and access to Americans private information The Nazis will use this information using AI to eliminate voters from the voting rolls with election consequences
We have the numbers they have the cash. The SAVE act will require proof of birth either by original birth certificate(who has that) or passport
The SAVE ACT will require people are asked to register or re-register to vote (31m do that every year….for various reasons change address/change county, change name with marriage) voters will have to prove they are citizens in order to vote This can be done in 2 ways: 1) proof of birth either by original birth certificate(who has that?) or 2 passport (12% have passports and are usually white and wealthy) What about women who have different last names now? Try to register if you do not have your original birth certificate because marriage licenses, military ID’s will not count This is why the Trump regime tried to do away with birthright citizenship
The result of the SAVE ACT: Massive drain of the voter rolls
Call your congressperson to vote against the SAVE ACT 202 224 3121
I signed a petition against the SAFE ACT! Once again, the GOP/MAGA are tricking the America people with the word SAFE. It is everything, but SAFE! Just as Citizens United, it is ment to trick the people into voting for something that will hurt them, not help them! GOP/MAGA are as sly, and as dangerous as foxes!
That sir, was an appropriate and well timed story to share. Even as a Canadian, it brought me close to a tear of patriotic pride.
It may seem like Trump is winning an occasional battle, but he can never be allowed to win the war, for It is war that we face, and there can be no capitulation.
And now to try and appease the great leader King Charles is offering to include the US in the Commonwealth. Which has a British King as its head. While it incurs no real obligations on the US, the mere fact that Trump is favorably inclined (probably because a real king is involved) it seems to be a very bad thing to do as we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence - the very document which severed our subservience to the British. While I understand what Charles is attempting to do to smooth the waters, the US should politely decline.
We better decline. That is utterly ridiculous. As a direct decedent of a Maryland signer, I am shocked that Charles would capitulate to that man. It is bad enough he is giving him a stroke-his-ego Official visit to the UK. I think poor Charles has lost his marbles.
Trump would NEVER do that! He is on the highest ego trip of his life, right now! Trump wants to be king of America, and possibly the Commonwealth as well-hey, Canada, be our 51st state! For him to bend down before King Charles, would be for Trump, a surrender! Now, he might bend down (or should I say stay bent down) before Putin!
Many eloquent comments, some with insight, some just with lament over the current state of our country. Read between the lines in many of Steve’s musings and dare to confront an increasingly likely scenario: the only way the path to the destruction of our democracy is reversed is by massive civil disobedience and disruption not seen since the Vietnam era. The recent scenes from Budapest and other countries grappling with a government out of touch and out of control, of hundreds of thousands, not 34,000 in one city, but mobilization of the populace of the entire country needs to occur. Violence may ensue, but this throughout history has often been a necessary part of change and a fundamental sacrifice that needs to occur.
I have little faith in the Courts, or the so called “resistance “ Democrats standing up to the DOGE purge and whims of an obviously mentally ill narcissistic psychopath. Contemplate the consequences of inaction. Words will never be enough.
Steve, you are right, once again. We, the people must REVOLT; Trump voters must REVOLT; wealthy businessmen must REVOLT, judges whose orders are ignored must REVOLT, and most of all-Congress must R.E.V.O.L.T!!! These REVOLTS should overwhelm the dictator and his cohorts like a tsunami and send them running for the hills or their cesspool caves while impeachment proceedings should commence for T/V and prison for M.
NOTE: these REVOLTS must be peaceful NOT violent and show the dictator his reign is over and democracy restored.
"The opposition to Trump must be peaceful because it must be moral."
Remember this part and recall that the Boston Tea Party occured without violence other than a few kicks in the a$$ to a few greedy colonists. If violence ever comes it must be in strict defence of home and hearth and must be instigated by the MAGA and Musk rats. I see a lot of talk on some boards I follow about how eager these ignorant a$$es are to activate their little pi$$ant militias/drinking clubs and open fire on their fellow citizens for the crime of being "woke" or some other supposed slur. However, I am certain they have John Wayne mouths and Mickey Mouse a$$es when it's all said and done.
I have feared Trump being assassinated! It is not only an act of violence, but all the Democrats will be blamed, and it would lead to a real civil war! Like the colonists; we must hit them where their money is: Tesla, X, Facebook, Amazon, any cooperate business possible! No crypto coins, nothing that would give Trump and his family money! It will mean sacrifice-a word that is no longer heard of! Can you walk or ride your bike to work, instead of using gas to drive your car? Can you sell your Tesla, and buy an electric car/SUV from another company? Can you push a lawn mower, instead of riding one? Can you skip a vacation, and stay at home and support local businesses instead? Can you give up social media? Can you put your phones away, and talk to one another? Can you cook at home, or eat at local/family restaurants instead? Can you create a family garden with vegetables and fruit that have no pesticides, and are truly organic? There are so many ways to "sacrifice". And, you just might find, it really isn't that much of a sacrifice at all!
America is the land of greed. We are all guilty, in some way! But if we really want to put an end to the "reign of Trump and oligarchies", we must sacrifice some things that make them comfortable! It's time to make them feel uncomfortable!
We must all do everything we can, and a bit more, to turn around this embattled, listing ship of our country and head to port for repairs and refurbishment. I pray we get the ship secured before it goes down to ffElon’s….errrrrr…. Davy Jones’ locker.
Take home message: our country was founded on non-violent direct action, and it will be non-violent direct action that saves it from tyranny today. Boycott Amazon, Target, Tesla, and the lot!
I share the aspiration for nonviolence. But everything suggests to me that the other side is prepared, even looking forward to, violent repression. They don't dictate our tactics. But I believe it is wise to acknowledge the difference and prepare accordingly.
Time to join the resistance. If you want to do it you will find the right way.
Tesla salute carved into sand. A great Tesla protest. Like Putin’s oil depots Tesla has a soft underbelly. The Wall Street spin stated that decline in its stock value follows a certain pattern and it will recover. Only if they understand how and why American revolution and WWII were fought and won. The great moral indignation cannot be bought and sold on Wall Street. Putin’s method of creating moral ambiguity of flooding the zone with confusion and distraction will fail as long as he continues to bomb Ukraine. Every bombing assault will not pass unnoticed. And humans like some of the creatures have their morality wired into their souls. American democracy was born and endured because of that Common Sense which started the revolution against the all powerful king. They rejected the dictators and kings then they will do so again. This is where you cannot divide America. Trump underestimated it and felt the push back right after confronting Zelenskyy. Both Democrats and Republicans, foreigners and citizens alike were all incensed. Tesla Salute https://youtu.be/JKvxEKHySyE?si=381NJ3WldSABsLDh
I cannot refrain from offering a quote from Benjamin Franklin for these times:
“Make yourself sheep and the wolves will eat you.”
That is perfect. Can I share?
Of course.
I was at the Bernie/ AOC rally in Denver yesterday. The crowds were huge, the lines to get into the Park were so long we gave up and sat on the city/ county building steps. The energy was fantastic.
These idiots have no idea what's coming at them
April 5…across the country. (If you need info, go to Indivisible.org.)

Thank you for the strike sign up! There needs to be 11 million sighed up to
make a change…my family has signed
That too!
Oh yeah, my husband and I are attending as are cousins from Princeton.
I will be in DC. We started with one bus and now we are filling the 4th one!!
I just got back from the Bernie/AOC rally in Tucson…20,000+ strong, lots of young people as well. Lots of hunger for a peaceful yet focused and forceful movement to counter Trump and his billionaire buddies.

The energy was electric! AOC and Bernie are the future of our county they embody the spirit of America
That sounds awesome! RE: the crowd size.
