Morning, Threaders, Threadheads, and all in between.
Coffee in freezing temperatures.
Presidents Day.
Wow. Presidents Day… No flags out. Nothing to see here except a fascist in the White House. Or running laps on a NASCAR track while people suffer. The new rules are there are no rules and if “the president does it” no laws are broken because there are no laws.
There are demonstrations scheduled for noon today at State Capitols and DC. What do we want and when do we want it? The secret to a successful demonstration is a unified message. The message must be “STOP!” And stop NOW. We want it to stop now. That’s it. That’s the one message. That’s what our elected officials should be doing in Congress along with the actions of a true shadow government that with few exceptions is still not working.
We need our elected officials to be proactive and anticipate the fascists’ moves. Even a child can figure out what many of them are. DOGE and the other traitors in the administration are erasing entire institutions and their records from existence. Besides telling us that in front of the MSM cameras are our elected officials preserving those records and making them available still?
Complete government webpages filled with essential information are being wiped out. Is our shadow government making sure that a) they are preserved, and b) still on the web somewhere? Or not? As far as I can tell, not. They are like excited tour guides taking us through the remnants of a crumbling site and going like “Quick! Look on your right! You may still see the Department of Education before it’s gone!” What a thrill.
We don’t need apocalyptic tour guides, we need fighters who can prevent it. To break it down into a sentence: deeds, not words. We are sick of words. And we are behind already. They should’ve been acting since last November 6. I could see what was coming. Most of us did. Why couldn’t they? Do they think it’s productive to work with traitors? Do they think decorum is still a thing and we shouldn’t call a dick a dick? Or fascism by its name?
Want to know what this feels like? Probably the same way it felt inside the Warsaw Ghetto during the two and a half years before the uprising when weapons were being smuggled in to the protests of those who were afraid that would “upset” the Nazis. Like resistance would provoke what they thought was not going to happen. The Nazis would have destroyed the ghetto anyway. At least some tried to do something about it.
The cautionary voices of today, that tell us we are overreacting or provoking the fascists into Martial Law by resisting them fiercely aren’t just cowards. They are enablers; quickly becoming collaborators who hope they can survive the inevitable onslaught if only they make just the right amount of noise to not “upset” the Nazis. Like they tried in Warsaw. That went well.
We will be out on the streets today. What do we want? For it to stop. When do we want it? Right fucking now. Who are we talking to? Are we telling this to the traitors in DC and around the country? Nope. This message is for the people we voted for: the Democrats in Congress. God, I hope they show up and tell us they will. Because if they join these demonstrations to demand change they are only shouting into a mirror. It’s YOU, you idiots. YOU must stop it. NOW.
We are demonstrating to show YOU our support and our demands are addressed to YOU. Please don’t look oblivious and join the chorus like some sort of self motivation exercise. Join the protests to show us you will. To tell us you hear us and you will act. Don’t pretend joining these protests is the action we want from you. They are meant FOR YOU. So get off your butts and stop it. Now.
So few of our Democratic senators and representatives are actually doing something to stop this madness. So few understand there will be no “come to Jesus” moment like in 2018. All those Republicans, who strongly supported TFG before btw, are gone. All you have left is the fascist puppets who vote for their constituents suffering and then come out whimpering softly some worried words. Perhaps a couple of them will grow a spine but not if you pat them on the back.
These bipartisanship collaborators justify their inaction and their criminal behavior by saying how many of their colleagues across the aisle tell them they hate TFG and Musk over a nice dinner at a fancy restaurant in DC, where no one can see or hear them. That’s nice. Same place tomorrow? We can’t go on appeasing these traitors or commiserating with them in the cover of anonymity. Flush them out. If they approach you in private and say they hate the turd record it. Boohoo.
Let them feel the dear leader’s wrath, don’t cover for them expecting them to come out on their own. They will not. Stop pretending it’s not good to shutdown the government when the government is erasing its former self and replacing democracy with tyranny. Shut it down before you can’t anymore. Refuse continuing resolutions unless your demands are met and if they are not shut it down again once they expire but DO NOT agree to a budget under ANY circumstances.
These traitors in the House will probably collapse any budget proposal on their own by wanting to add their beloved pork, on top of which they will add the bacon offerings to the dear leader, like making his birthday a national holiday. Let them implode. Do NOT help them out. The federal workers are already being sent home without pay and it’s not because the government is shut down. It’s because it’s working. So shut it down.
Enough halfhearted deeds and heartfelt words. We are sick of those. Listen to us. We want it to stop now. That’s what we will be telling you on the streets today and every day from now on.
Do the fucking deed.
Resist & Oppose!
