Instead of being skeptical about those two non-military little boys (playing man) speeches, those generals and other military personal need to be preparing to take them into custody for treason…jmo

He does view democrats as the enemy. He hates us. What delusion made him think Portland, Oregon is a war ravaged city? It's run by democrats. The population is largely democrats. But I think the biggest reason he's doing these bizarre things is because he has been backed into a corner with the Epstein files and he keeps coming up with other stuff to distract us. It's not working. He's in them, he knows it and his cronies know it. Most of them probably have something to hide too.

He managed to create incidents in 2020 (George Floyd protests) by sending feds to Portland, he's hoping for a repeat performance.

Can't find a riot, they can create one. Another Kent State is in the works. B52s and B2s are warming up. Has to be at least one terrorist at every donut shop. Funny no terrorists in Miami.

~ Protect Our Healthcare

From efforts to dismantle the Department of Education to rollbacks in Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, SNAP, and disability protections; from the withholding of billions in funding for afterschool and mental health programs to national voucher schemes like the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA) which shifts funds from public schools to private profit; our public schools are under attack. This is not just a policy shift. It is a full-scale assault on the idea that every child—no matter their zip code, race, language, ability, or identity—deserves a high-quality public education.

GENERAL STRIKE US

Let's make Good Trouble and Strike! FiftyFifty.One has reported that we are winning major battles at the International - Anti-tRump protests! But there are mixed reports on those numbers and we may never know the truth because Führer tRump now controls are news networks. Regardless of the numbers the war against the tRump is far from over. We are still no where near the numbers of persistent Americans resistors we need to end the reign of the Limp Dick Traitor, Führer DonOld tRump, his regime of Musk Rats, Nazi MAGAts, his Battalion of Rich Oligarchs , his ICE Gestapo and his administration from hell.

The 3.5% Rule says that 3.5% of the population (only 11 million in America) must exhibit SUSTAINED RESISTANCE to effectively enact change. The Anti-tRump protests are major wins towards our goal of getting the tRump out of our White House. But the next steps in the Anti-tRump movement must show our commitment to SUSTAINED RESISTANCE.

We must stop The tRump and his administration from hell! The demonic tRump and his billionaire oligarch only care about money. LET'S SHUT THIS FUCKIN’ COUNTRY DOWN!!!

General Strike US supporters are organizing a National Strike. The most powerful strikers are the workers who are employed by the national multi-billionaire companies like Amazon, chain stores and restaurants who have locations in nearly every state across the country, like Amazon, Walmart, McDonald's along with technology and auto, like Tesla, Apple, Meta (Facebook) , Alphabet (Google) workers like these will have the most impact. The rest of us should be boycotting these companies. Keep your money in your own communities and when possible please support small grocery stores, restaurants and businesses instead.

The most important thing Non-Strikers and everyone can do is use your words (verbal or written) to inform everyone about the Strike and the Boycotts. Those that are capable please stop making the greedy billionaire oligarchs even richer. STOP SHOPPING and BUYING from INTERNATIONAL BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES! Make yourselves richer and buy GROCERIES AND NECESSITIES ONLY until we get the Limp Dick Traitor out the White House and out of our government!!!

General Strike US Supporters - How Non-Strikers can help! https://onemommy.substack.com/p/general-strike-supporters?r=113nff  

Everyone (strikers and supporters) sign up here: GeneralStrikeUS.com

Organizers can/will not write their demands or strike until they have eleven million Americans willing to stop working for the unknown duration of the strike. This strike is for everyone, even for workers without a union. They need organizations, businesses, unemployed workers, retired workers, students, family members, community, etc.- committed to supporting the Strikers during this potentially difficult time. Personally, I believe that if millions of Americans don't show up for work that the billionaire oligarchs will be calling for the immediate resignation of their king - themselves!

To learn more and determine when the time is right to strike, the organizers are asking everyone to sign the General Strike US strike card at GeneralStrikeUS.com. Stand Up America, sign the card and be counted so we can get that true homegrown demented criminal terror out of our lives and get on with the task of rebuilding our democracy and our government. Learn more about how to rebuild visit BernieSanders.com.

It's going to take ALL of us to bring down the tRump, the billionaire oligarchs (who hog the money you earn) and the Administration from Hell!

BLACKOUT THE SYSTEM

Time to End this Evil Nightmare.

BLACKOUT THE SYSTEM is a national movement born out of frustration, injustice, and the undeniable truth that the people hold the power - not corrupt governments, not billionaires, not broken systems.

The billionaire oligarchs pay big bucks for campaigns that help elect politicians, who will support the causes that make them richer. They are the ones who elected the tRump and control the government. In an effort to bring down the tRump's administration from hell - we are strategically and peacefully shutting down the U.S. economy - by removing our labor, our spending, our financial support, forcing the system to listen.

This movement launched to remove the billionaires from our government, reclaim power for the people, restore justice, and unite citizens across all races, cultures, and classes.

We are asking all citizens to boycott billionaire businesses and products (the ones that have locations or can be purchased in every state) avoid working and spending as much as possible November 25 - December 2, 2025

SAVE OUR MEDICAL SERVICES

Indivisible.org' founder Ezra Levin is calling for urgent actions (ahead of the October 18 No Kings Day protests) to save our Medical Services! Please read the attached article below and join us.

“Dems are showing a little backbone. Our job is to stiffen it. Our goal is not a shutdown -- it’s building an opposition party that uses its leverage to reduce human harm and slow the march toward authoritarianism. Whether Republicans drive us into a shutdown or not, our success depends on Democrats holding strong rather than simply surrendering again.

Republicans will not change course if they think they can just roll over Dems again. And Dems will not stay strong unless they feel like they have the support to do so. This is a week when your calls, your visits to congressional offices, and your level of vocal support really matter.” - Ezra Levin

Urgent Call to Action:

Call (202) 224-3121 NOW and tell your Senators to Save the Affordable (Obama) Care Act and Medicaid.

The Republicans have forced the government to shut down because they refuse to negotiate with the Democrats who are trying to save our Medical Services.

We’re damned if we do, damned if we don’t. If the Government doesn't reopen federal workers and potentially the citizens they serve will face intense hardship. But if the Government reopens millions of Americans will lose their medical services.

Hardships from the shutdown should be recoverable with time. But people will die without their medications or medical care. Think about the children, many who lead happy productive lives because of their life saving medications. Without our insurance, our life expectancy will decrease significantly.

Another vote is happening tonight call your Democratic representatives now and tell them that we support them! Tell them to do whatever they have to do to save our Medical Services!

Call your Republican representatives and tell them to stop kissing their Führer's ass. Demand they restore our Medical Services immediately!

Support the Democrats on this issue. Shame on Democratic Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada and Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine supporting the Republicans who refuse to protect our democracy and our human services. Call them and demand they protect our insurance.

This is what happens when a guy like Hegseth gets into power. He has watched too much Rambo on tv. He thinks a small group of barbarian guerillas can conquer the world. There is a place in the military for the lean and mean. But for every soldier on the front line, there are 10 behind him passing the ammo forward and the injured and dead to the rear. Wake up Pete, it is 2025 and not 1941.

Lethality is not how you cut your hair, make your bunk, shine your shoes or how many pushups you can do. It is the combined talents of everyone in uniform believing that they are there to defend the country and not just the guy in the WH.

A harrowing moment in trump’s “speech” to the collected top brass was when he told them that if they didn’t like his military agenda they could leave the room and forfeit their commission and retirement. None did. They all should have. Now he’s got them under his thumb.

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE

Effective civil disobedience and successful activism require some degree of inconvenience and sacrifice. Strikes and Blackout are the most effective way to initiate change but they come with hardship and sacrifice. People could lose jobs and businesses may close.

But historically we have sacrificed far more. At this point, no one is asking people to walk miles to work every day for a year, endure personal violence or sacrifice their own lives like they did during the first Civil Rights Movement.

Our resistance efforts now are minor in comparison. The longer we wait to resist the more intense our sacrifices become. Above all resistance only works if we stand together. Mature adults are the ones building and leading this New Civil Rights Movement, the ones with knowledge of our history, the ones that fought for equality and remember what it was like before the movement. It seems like young Americans will need to directly feel the pain of the tRump's destructive cuts and illegal executive orders. This tRump nightmare could have been over already if we had united when he first revealed his authoritarian plans. Instead most Americans are sitting back watching our democracy collapse around us. So many more are clueless about the immense evil the tRump has unleashed in our country.

Unfortunately, people in this country don't want to be temporarily inconvenienced in any way and they definitely don't want to make the simplest of sacrifices like stop unnecessary shopping, avoiding traveling, limiting their entertainment!

Right now we have no where near the numbers of people consistently resisting that we need to save our democracy. The tRump is winning the war against our democracy and has begun the initial stages of genocide in America.

We have to decide if it is better to sacrifice some jobs or a few small businesses or do we allow the tRump to privatizing public education, health care and insurance, making it available to only the wealthy. On top of your mortgage, transportation, utilities, cell phone services and everyday essentials can you afford to pay private school tuition for twelve years and then college, medical expenses without insurance, nursing homes for your parents or grandparents? The tRump wants to privatize health insurance too. Say good-by to insurance benefits from work. Insurance is expected to double in price for everyone. Can you afford all of that? If not what will you have to live without?

The tRump has no plan to increase your wages. Do we continue to let the tRump regime, steal our Medical services, medications, food services for our veterans, disabled, children and the elderly. If we don’t resist more people will loose their jobs, homes, medical care, freedom and many more people will die from neglect while the tRump gives much more of our money to his billionaire oligarch friends?

Do we prefer to fight for our democracy or allow the tRump to continue to strip FEMA funds for communities that mother nature destroys, accurate weather alerts and food safety inspections? He has already ended science and medical research for climate change, cancer, vaccines, Alzheimer's and much more.

Would you prefer to have low wages forever, no civil rights, no truthful media, no right to choose what movies, TV shows or music we watch or listen to?

We need to bring down the true leaders of this country, the greedy billionaire oligarchs that fund the campaign of politicians that support the causes that make them richer. The only thing they care about is money. We need to hit them where it hurts - their bank accounts.

In order to do that and when possible we must stop giving them our money. We need to stop buying their products and using their services. We need to stop spending money unnecessarily. We need to make the oligarchs start paying the same taxes we do and they need to start paying their employees fair wages.

We need to support small businesses instead. Imagine if everyone stopped supporting the oligarchs owned national chain businesses and started shopping locally owned small businesses and restaurants instead. That's how we build our local economy.
