Millions of Americans — including many who have been purged from their positions of responsibility — are standing up to Trump and Musk’s tyranny. Congressional switchboards are ringing off the hook. We are beginning to flood Trump and Musk’s zone. Let’s flood it out.

The word "doge" was a meme in the early 2010s featuring a dog. The meme came BEFORE the cryptocurrency. "First Buddy" is an obnoxious, spoiled child, so of course he named his cryptocurrency after a meme. And now we're being held hostage by an illegally created govt department named after a MEME.

Here is the NON-response letter I received from my "representative" in Montana. Is it any wonder so many of us are discouraged? Not only is it poorly written; my name is not correct, and he addresses not ONE single concern I put forth. I didn't expect him to, honestly, but still. I'm disheartened.

Is it any wonder we are feeling like we have no voice? I received a response to my concerns from Zinke, one of my "representatives" in Montana, that is nothing but a poorly drafted form letter. I am more than irate. It's addressed to "Ms. E." My name starts with B. I will share a bit of it...

Thank you for that! I will check it out. I've had this discussion with my husband before where he's said that America was never what it's been portrayed as--except for maybe during the '50s. And I've told him, yeah, it was great for MEN then, maybe. Not so much for women or minorities.
