Here are 100 East San Diego County patriots at Rep. Darrell Issa's office. His staff would not open the door to speak to any of us. We could see they were in the office. https://photos.app.goo.gl/fJrmBSekK9P6hG4V9
Remember this when he runs for re-election in November 2026. If he's not responsive to the people, vote him out. We control the term limits through the power of the vote.
We live in a rural small town in West Tennessee. Most of the people in town are excited about not buying anything tomorrow. People are reminding each other to get any groceries or gas to get it today. It’s crossing racial and economic boundaries. People are almost giddy about it. We’re standing up together and fighting for each other.
We’re going to keep doing it until the billionaires figure it out or Trump and his treacherous cronies are out of office. The longer it lasts and the more people who do it the more effective it will be. I encourage everyone who reads this to cancel their Washington Post and Amazon Prime subscriptions and boycott buying anything from Amazon and Whole Foods.
With the departures of Gene Robinson, Ruth Marcus, Ann Telenaes, and of course Jennifer Rubin, my interest in the Washington Post is waning. We who are left need to tell Dana Milbank and Max Boot to turn out the lights when they leave.
It was gratifying to be among the hundreds of protesters who turned out in the little mountain town of Truckee, California on Saturday 3/1 to denounce tyranny and support American democracy and Ukraine. Especially great that it was spearheaded by a 17-year-old Truckee High School senior.
In January I DELETED my Facebook, Threads and Amazon accounts, and I’m here to tell you that it ain’t that bad (sorry, I’m holding on to IG for now because I have to keep in touch with distant friends somehow). I’ve switched to DuckDuckGo for my search engine (and for added privacy), and if there is something I can’t find locally I just search for it online then select the best option that is not Amazon. Many other vendors offer the free shipping that brought me to Amazon in the first place. Another advantage is that I’m spending less on online purchases, because I no longer go to the quick fix Amazon for my everyday shopping needs!
I worked for Amazon for three miserable months as a driver and hated every minute until I quit. They treat their employees/contractors like shit (no lunch or bathroom breaks), at the time they used the worst GPS to navigate my deliveries, literally had me running back and forth across a six-lane 45 mph road with my packages—just a sampling of what the drivers are expected to do while making a delivery every six minutes! Then there are the warehouse workers, which is even worse if you can imagine.
I refuse to order anything from Amazon unless I can't find it from another vendor, and then only begrudgingly. I have canceled my subscription to The Washington Post, stopped shopping at Whole Foods, and dropped PayPal from my online payment options. I can't understand why anyone would buy the butt-ugly Telsa Cybertruck or anything associated with Musk.
With DOGE, Musk has finally reached his Peter Principle.
I agree with all this, but I'm reluctant to give up my Post subscription. Even with Bezos owning it, the Post has probably the best coverage of government in Washington.
I agree with the Post's coverage of Washington, D.C., and I will continue to follow it until my subscription runs out. Other news organizations cover Washington as well as The Post, two of which are The Guardian and the Associated Press. Both are independent from oligarch owners, worthy of supporting rather than lining Bezos' pockets even more with my hard-earned money.
I read all five books in the trilogy and I have the Apple II version of the game. It's complete and unused...button, peril-sensitive sunglasses, pocket fluff, microscopic space fleet, destruction orders in Vogon and (most importantly) NO TEA!!
I posted this in another thread too, but April 19 (a Saturday), just 50 days from today, is the 250th anniversary of Lexington and Concord and "the shot heard 'round the world." What a great symbolic date to see thousands of Americans marching in protest against our self-proclaimed “king.”
Love seeing all the folks across the country taking a stand. Let's grow the resistance! (We're protesting every Wednesday in Santa Fe at the capitol building. 1-2pm.)
Contrarian wonderful people. Please see Jamie Raskin’s email to constituants suggesting reaching out to DOGE to get copies of everything they have stolen. Here is email: Today I filed a formal demand for access to my personal data obtained by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk. I encourage all U.S. citizens to join me in doing the same.
Elon Musk should have been more careful in what he wished for, Alexa. DOGE recently dodged lawsuits about its seizure of citizens’ personal data by telling courts that it is a legitimate government agency entitled to extract this information. What Elon Musk apparently did not realize is that this statement triggers DOGE’s obligation to comply with citizen demands to see and—if need be—correct their personal information under the Privacy Act. It also allows every citizen to find out what other agencies or outside parties have been made privy to our information.
Last night, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued an injunction commanding DOGE to comply with citizen requests under the Freedom of Information Act. FOIA encompasses the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, which entitles any citizen to access personal information held in any U.S. government records system.
By visiting the link on my website https://act.jamieraskin.com/go/370?t=1&akid=668%2E135633%2EX7g7xS you can fill out the Privacy Act request form and mail it in directly to DOGE. This newly recognized federal agency, which has been systematically accessing government computer data systems, now has an obligation to respond to specific information demands from any of the 340 million U.S. citizens who exercise their legal right to defend their privacy and establish the security of their personal information.
I can’t wait to see what DOGE has been doing with all of our data, and I can’t wait to see what the courts will do if DOGE refuses to comply with the District Court’s injunction.
In a democracy, as opposed to a dictatorship, assuming the powers of government carries real burdens and obligations for our officials as well as the benefits and riches the billionaires routinely seek out.
ALL - please support tomorrow’s ECONOMIC BOYCOTT; don’t BUY anything on Fri Feb 28.
Following are the companies that took the first opportunity to ditch their commitment to diversity/inclusiveness in the workplace: Amazon, Boeing, Caterpillar, Ford, Harley-Davidson, John Deere, Lowe’s, Coors, McDonald’s, Meta, Nissan, Toyota, Stanley Black & Decker, Target, Tractor Supply, Walmart.
Let’s include Federal workers who are stepping up to fight back! See their website at https://www.wethebuilders.org
Thanks for posting this website, it's infuriating to read of the pain that tRump sprinkles on everyone in America!
It is much more than infuriating to me. They are wrecking the country many fought and died for. They are wrecking the country I love.
Thank you for posting this link, will share it with others.
You are welcome!
It is time to band together and slap a class action suit on him, NOW
(Ungramatical) who him? Trump, Musk, Miller, Leavitt, Bondi, Hegseth? The list of perpetrators are long, their damage manifold.

Bravo people for democracy…. Reps avoiding their constituents tells you all you need to know!! Vote them out
People want to be heard. Republicans aren't listening... Democrats ARE beginning to. Bernie and AOC are responding to what the people are saying.
The crowds also show that people are willing to listen to them. There can then be an exchange of ideas not being seen in Republicans' offices.
Remember this when he runs for re-election in November 2026. If he's not responsive to the people, vote him out. We control the term limits through the power of the vote.
Thank you!

Well I'm giddy just reading your post!

So happy to see this! We all need to see ways of resisting.

I subscribe to the Guardian, but it does not have kind of home-town advantage that WaPo has. I'll check out the AP.
Hurrah!
Me too!
I attended a protest in Pittsburgh on Sunday. We had over 500 people there. I handed out buttons that said RESIST in large, friendly letters.
I still have the button that says "DON'T PANIC!" in large, friendly letters...
Thanks for picking up my reference... <3

Love this! We need to be able to be able to see the resistance in order to keep going!
I'm flying an upside down American flag on my porch. EVERYONE should do that!
Depending upon your neighborhood, you could be putting yourself in danger. It is a time for bravery though, so well done, and thank you.
Love seeing all the folks across the country taking a stand. Let's grow the resistance! (We're protesting every Wednesday in Santa Fe at the capitol building. 1-2pm.)

The link you provided didn't work but I found Jamie Raskin's call to file privacy act requests here:

Thanks, I love comments that make connections to resources, other ideas/developments, etc.
I filled out mine today!
ALL - please support tomorrow’s ECONOMIC BOYCOTT; don’t BUY anything on Fri Feb 28.
Following are the companies that took the first opportunity to ditch their commitment to diversity/inclusiveness in the workplace: Amazon, Boeing, Caterpillar, Ford, Harley-Davidson, John Deere, Lowe’s, Coors, McDonald’s, Meta, Nissan, Toyota, Stanley Black & Decker, Target, Tractor Supply, Walmart.
I would definitely like a complete list of these companies. I have already changed my grocer, Walmart.
Good post. Thanks
I just heard about Ruth Marcus leaving the Bezos Wash Post. Any chance she will become a Contrarian?
