It's only been six months!
Judge arrested
There probably won’t be midterm elections. If there are, it will be with armed ICE agents accosting people in line to vote and making arrests.
Time to play dress-up and vote in your best MAGA outfit. But I'll warn you--you can't out MAGA me, I'm Latino, after all. 😂

Question: I'm not one for protesting and marching in the street. I'm sure it matters, but I'm introverted and large crowds make me very anxious. I also have health condition that needs regular management and live in the rurals, most of my time is spent at home. What can I do to actually help?
I already donate to causes I care about regularly, such as my local food bank, wikipedia, NPR, and PBS. Is there something else I can or should be doing? I hate what's happening to the US right now, but I don't feel like I have much, if any power to do anything about it or help, outside of donating to charitable causes.
A couple more suggestions:
- Take a look at stealth activism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo0qgvkbgvM
- Start or join your local timebank: https://hourworld.org/_Map.htm
Check out https://heywhatcanido.com/ ... Even if it's not tailored to your specific region, it should give you ideas about the types of things you can get involved with to actually make a difference. Much of it from home.

You can search for local mutual aid groups. You won't have to be in crowds but you can still help with organizing, and making a difference on the ground. Logistics and administration are crazy helpful.

DNC: Oh no! Our fellow party members have been harassed and killed.
Also DNC: Anyway....
But but but....there "sounding the alarm". You don't understand it's sooooo hard to run candidates someone would really vote for. (sarcasm)

No way the party incapable of doing anything defeated by the party capable of only evil, never would have seen this coming
You're selling the dems short. They've shown theyre capable of facilitating genocide, sending the police to kick the shit out of politically activated college students, the kind who get all their friends to vote, funding ICE, building bigger "migrants overflow facilities".
Where's Nancy Pelosi? Probably too busy getting rich. These Democrats supported a genocide and they got us in this position because all they are is controlled opposition. In order to have any thoughts about domestic politics in the imperial core, you need to understand the world as a whole. Liberals struggle to do this. This little island called the United States likes to smell its own brand. I think the right-wing piglets call this fuck around and find out. At least these fascist neoliberals are actually working for their money nowadays. You ain't getting no tears from me. I saw it down the track, a hundred miles away. There is no fucking war, but the class war
Where’s Nancy Pelosi?
So cool for Democrats to be in functional retirement, but still squat on their House seats like they're taking a lifetime shit.
Fucking Boomers.
Yes, she was born 4 years early to officially be a boomer, but she's definitely a "fuck you, got mine" boomer.
Don't WORRY! Democrats ALREADY have the Fundraising text WRITTEN and READY TO GO for when the NEXT Democrat Politician gets Assassinated!
I'm BEGGING YOU on my KNEES! We need ONE MORE GIFT to FIGHT BACK the CONSERVATIVE AGENDA. We can't stop TRUMP, his MAGA CRONIES, and the CORRUPT REPUBLICANS without your HELP! Will you STAND WITH BERNIE and DONATE NOW? $20=$560. Select your answer below!
HELL YES: bullshiturl com
NO I DON'T SUPPORT DEMOCRACY: catholicgrandmaguilttrips.com

But hey, at least people are gathering in the streets! If there's one thing that fascists hate it's groups of people walking together.
I love how American's are all proud of their "No Kings" turnout but are too stupid to realize at the end of the day it means nothing. It changes nothing. Trump and his Christian Nationalist handlers don't give a shit and don't even have to pay attention to it. The county is still falling down.
Read this if you're having difficulty understanding the purpose of the recent protests.
Spoiler: It's not to convince Trump of anything.
On the up side, Nancy Pelosi is running for re-election.
Fuck all the assholes that voted Jill Stein over Palestine or some stupid reason like that. It never was about Palestinians, and these assholes got us here: Hell
You brought all of us here, you deserve nothing
Fuck Joe Biden and team for watching the devolution to fascism happening in real time and deciding to spend their time doing genocide instead of stopping fascism.
I still can't believe they sat on their fucking hands after Trump's multiple indictments, and did nothing to prevent the dude from running again after breaking the law 90+ times. What a useless party. All they did was try to look good.

Yeah all those third party voters who if they all voted for Kamala wouldn't have changed the results of any state are to blame. Not picking unpopular polices, or breaking away from Biden who was a deeply unpopular candidate. It's the people who had zero impact state and federal level.
Not worth listening to, but big enough to blame. The enemy is weak and strong.

If anti-genocide Americans weren't significant enough to listen to, they're not significant enough to blame.
Concepts like that are too logical for the Liberal mind to comprehend
Need that on a t shirt
A brain so smooth its literally frictionless.
You should probably spend more time stomping around your basement yelling at the monitor screen
Fuck all the assholes that voted Jill Stein over Palestine
Point to the state Harris wins with the Green Party vote.
Notice how they can't but will regurgitate their talking points, because fact checking is propaganda, or something.

For those of you keeping track, for this week it’s MAGA 5 / “Resistance” 0
Hey but the cities around me had protests that went till 2pm, only on a non-work day and family friendly so everyone could get their photo ops and be home in time to watch the game. That's surley going to change things right? ... right?

I'm sure if you stand around in large crowds holding a sign it will all go away.
You're right. It will. In concert with all the other things people are actually doing to fight back.

*This is just year 1/3. There will be eleven times more of this before Trump's term is (theoretically) over.

Let's not forget all the Bad Things™ the Republicans have dealt with this year! They have:
A Republican-funding billionaire throwing a tantrum at Daddy Donny.
A Republican senator arrested for CSAM.
Good American patriots are being targeted and singled out! Woe is them, it's not fair! /s
