I love the photo of dropping off boxes of petitions! Emails and phone calls are not visible enough and are too easy to ignore. We need to swamp Congress with mail bags of letters that could make our voices visible. Plus, they just might disrupt the daily routine and generate some earned media if enough of us organize letter writing events. What do you think? Worth the effort? Stop the steal ... of our tax dollars!

Fundamental freedoms are being taken away and oppressive restrictions are part of Trumps Authoritarian take over.

Freedom of speech religion and press. Freedom from arbitrary arrest. Our voting rights must be upheld and acess to education and public resources .

Yes we are hurting with economy but our rights and Liberty and are very democracy is a paramount concern.

The rich and powerful do no work. All people have to do is quit. They are not going to be very long if the have to just exist, and sabtoge will take out what they own, not buying what they have to sell will not make them any money. The revolution in France in 1789 showed that the rich and powerful do not always have the upper hand. A study of history has its uses.

"Attacking the rich is not envy. It is self defense. The hoarding of wealth is the cause of poverty. The rich aren't just indifferent to poverty; they create and maintain it." Jodi Foster

Without a general strike, nothing will change.

Boycott every company that benefits from Trump's presidency, now and forever.

Yeah, but they want OUR MONEY to continue to be corrupt. Don’t be giving any monies to the fascists in the government.

Robert Reich says Democrats should tie Trump Administration corruption to affordability-economy

TO: Democratic candidates in the 2026 midterm elections

RE: Connect Trump’s lousy economy to his corrupt regime.

“The purpose of this memo is to help you shape your midterm message around the crisis of affordability and Trump Republican corruption. I urge you to present these two issues as aspects of the same underlying problem: The economy is lousy for most Americans because Trump Republicans are enabling super-rich oligarchs to siphon off most of its gains while exerting increasing control over it. Their — and Trump’s — self-dealing is undermining trust and confidence in the U.S. economic system. “
