27. The problem I have
Tue Apr 22, 2025, 07:55 AM
Tuesday

is that I will always point out what I see happening. I get my news every day from other sources than cable news and social media, and The Hill.

When I point out the truth about what is happening I am labeled a doom and gloomer and accused of giving up. There is a huge difference between pointing out what is happening and not fighting back.

There are Congressional Democrats whose strategy is to let Krasnov burn it all down and then win back Congress in the 2026 election. That is exactly what Chuck Schumer told Chris Hayes on national TV.

There are numerous Congressional Democrats who are fighting back but they all should be fighting back and they all should be fighting with a united message, with united talking points, but they are not.

I now donate to the ACLU, and to Indivisible, which has been organizing the majority of the protests across the country.

The courts have ruled that the rule of law applies and that is a basic win for us. Now, will Krasnov obey the courts is yet to be determined.

We have had serious threats to our country's national security; SignalGate and NLRBGate and I see no signs of either one of those catastrophes being stopped. I predicted that Magats have been using their personal phones with the Signal App that self-deletes messages from the beginning and I predicted that they are still using them, and I was vindicated. Same with the NLRB, the whistleblower was simply called a liar.

Let me remind people, there are most likely 200 more people who were denied due process who were sent off to concentration camps other than Garcia. My question, who appropriated the millions of dollars that are being spent deporting people to El Salvador? DOGE is illegal and unconstitutional and yet it goes right ahead taking the place of Congress.

Does Krasnov have control of the military? He just fired another officer because she didn't have pictures of Krasnov, Vance, and Hegseth at her headquarters. Krasnov is going to spend 100 million dollars for a military parade in dear leader's honor on his birthday, unfuckingbelievable.

Small victories may very well lead the way to winning the war but IMO it will be up to us, the people, to throw out the billionaires. I do not believe the courts will save us, I believe it will take a national strike and that is being organized. There are 334,000 people already committed, but we are going to need at least 10 million people to be effective.

Fighting back means exactly what the word implies, fight, not waiting to beat them at the next election or waiting for Krasnov to obey the courts.
