This is resistance. This is not obeying the illegitimate dictatorship in advance, unlike @JoeBiden & Merrick Garland dropping federal prosecution of Trump, which no Constitutional provision requires them to do. www.newsweek.com/wyoming-repu...

NEW: In order to offset the enormous cost for their tax cuts for the wealthy, Trump's advisers and congressional Republicans have begun preliminary discussions about making significant cuts to Medicaid, food stamps, and other federal safety net programs. wapo.st/40SuTMR

Project Underdog organizes immigrants and fights deportations. This will be a test of the resistance. They are coming for the immigrants first.

Based on many conversation with our neighbors we believe that most support mass deportations. We fear that the arrival of ICE agents & the US army on Roosevelt Ave on Jan 20 will be celebrated-not resisted by locals-just like Operation Restore Roosevelt was welcomed by most. #FightDeportationsNYC

Immigrants, their families and communities are likely to be the first targets for MAGA's planned regime of violence & terror. Organizing US citizens to nonviolently confront Trump's shock troops should perhaps be the highest priority for NVR. We can shelter, shield, confront, document & witness.

The programs highlighted in this WP report are not necessarily high priorities for demolition by Trump, but they are vulnerable under the slogan of "defunding programs that Congress no longer authorizes." Turns out our government has been held together with ductape, string and good faith.

Every time they show a picture of this guy with his shirt on, they are hiding the truth. "his nomination's viability" depends on whether the Senate, Democrats included, rolls over and lets Trump push this putz in. Which may also depend on whether we do too. Sometimes calling your Senator is NVR.

Gene Sharp taught that to fight dictatorship you need to identify its pillars of support. Right now the main pillar of support for the nascent MAGA dictatorship is the false narrative that America "shifted" to the right in this election and gave Trump a mandate. Stop believing and repeating it.

Trump's nominees for Justice & Defense are the most dangerous to democracy. Matt Gaetz for AG means he intends to use the DoJ as his weapon, and is naming a disgraced national clown to be his yes-man. Hegseth's mission is to fire the generals & replace them with willing tools. Will Democrats obey?

Democrats are supporting a GOP bill that would enable Trump to crush nonprofits accused of supporting "terrorism," whether that means protesting Israeli atrocities or engaging in nonviolent confrontation and civil disobedience. This is a Dictatorship Enabling Law. They will push many more.

Some groups are pushing to use the Alien Enemies Act as a turbocharged deportation and detention power. We explain the law, why it’s ripe for abuse, and why lawmakers must repeal it now.

The Alien Enemies Act, Explained
This detention and deportation power poses an alarming risk of abuse and rights violations in both wartime and peacetime.

You heard it from Senator Wyden! Call your US senators and tell them to pass the PRESS Act before Trump takes over! www.wired.com/story/press-...

Senate Democrats Are Running Out of Time to Pass a Shield Law to Protect Journalism
The PRESS Act, which would protect journalists from government spying, enjoys broad bipartisan support and has passed the House—but it’s unclear whether the Senate will take it up.

First the shock and disbelief. Then, the finger pointing and score settling. Now the worst: the popcorn, as we watch Trump name a rogues' gallery of thugs, extremists, foreign assets and incompetent toadies to run our federal government. Don't give in to dictatorship. Resist!

from:@car0linehaskins X Hours after Trump won, ICE asked companies to submit plans for how they’d expand ICE’s system of GPS trackers + databases surveilling “noncitizens” awaiting trial or deportation. Gov contractors said ICE’s timing was probably not a coincidence: www.wired.com/story/ice-su...

ICE Started Ramping Up Its Surveillance Arsenal Immediately After Donald Trump Won
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement put out a fresh call for contracts for surveillance technologies before an anticipated surge in the number of people it monitors ahead of deportation hearings.

Do not grieve. Do not give up on America just because the same number of assholes who voted for Trump in 2020 did it again in 2024. Do not expect the Democrats to lead the resistance. Do not stay home and await further information. Study nonviolence. Organize. Be the resistance.
