Defiance.Org just launched as an online community for Americans to mobilize, organize, and strategize a powerful legal, peaceful, and successful resistance against MAGA's authoritarian regime.
This sounds great, is there anything explicit communicated about how we can protect our data and be defensive against surveillance/targeting for political action while signing up for this platform? How are the people behind it handling that? I’d think that would be a top of mind concern for many of us.
"Miles Taylor is a national security expert and lifelong conservative who served in the first Trump Administration." That's a recommendation? I may be a paranoid, but they want people to "sign up" to "defy Trump"? So sorry, and excuse me, but f*ck that. They want to sell "swag"? I mean, WTAF?
Everyone has to help get the word of mouth out to the people who don’t have social media.
If you want to get rid of Trump then we have to get the Democrats the majority. The DOJ has sealed files implicating Trump in multiple rape cases against children. Those files are the key to having Trump impeached.
The Democrats want those sealed files released. Make sure you vote for Democrat representatives in 2026. OTHERWISE TRUMP AND HIS CORRUPT NETWORK WILL CONTINUE THEIR DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA
FOR NOW ——-///-
Everyone has to educate their House and Senate representatives about Trump raping women and children. Everyone has to educate them that Trump is doing everything in his power to cover that up. Almost everyone in Trump’s network has previously helped him cover up his crimes against women and children. Call, write letters and emails to your representatives.
There are a few representatives that don't know how evil/corrupt Trump and his network actually are. Almost all of the republicans know. They are just such lowlifes that they are more worried about losing their jobs than doing the right thing.
THE EPSTEIN/TRUMP FILES HAVE TO BE RELEASED. That’s how we get Trump impeached.
H.R. 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act has to pass for that to happen.
Don’t let the Republican representatives convince you they voted for this. THAT’S A LIE. They voted for H.R. 668 intended to clear Trump’s name from the sealed files.
I commend your planned actions. This is a positive and responsible thing to do.
But I cannot believe that ALL politicians don't already know that Trump has had sex with underage girls. He bought teen beauty pageants for this express purpose. He discussed his sexual fantasies about his own daughter on live TV, with her sitting beside him. He told his lawyer, Michael Cohen, that his 15yo daughter Samantha was a "nice piece of ass". Trump even confessed his sexual intentions in this 2016 article: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/a-timeline-of-donald-trumps-creepiness-while-he-owned-miss-universe-191860/
Really this group should “merge” with Lev Parnas, Malcolm Nance and Michael Cohen. If all these smaller groups came together we’d be MILLIONS on the same track.
Lev and Malcolm are legends. (They both wrote me supportive messages after Cohen wrote me a horrible DM.) Zev Shalev and Dean Blundell in Canada are also wonderful supporters of America's freedom and Democracy.
Let's not forget that Republicans in Congress are still taking their paychecks while hiding. Many Democrats who are still working in Congress are not taking paychecks (this from Jessica Craven). As Jamie Raskin says, he can't condone getting paid while federal workers aren't getting paid.
Coffee grounds are often used in exfoliant skin products. They’re also great for spreading around plants that need a more acidic soil, like: Rododendron’s and Azalea’s, etc.
Maybe send coffee grounds for MAGA to scrub themselves clean of Trump and his regime.😉😁
I follow Lev Parnas, Michael Cohen and Malcom Nance. Defiance should seek them out. They need to get out in the nation and rally citizens. They have a lot of knowledge in how MAGA works and how we can get our country back.
All polls I have seen show Trump's numbers under the water, but Trump continues to report that he has great numbers, the best ever. The news reporters are not calling him out on this BIG lie about his poll numbers.
I wonder, if a reporter actually showed him a big poster print out of a few polls and asked him why the polls show different, how the orange yam would react? Say it’s “fake news” and go after them via lawsuit or try to prosecute them criminally. It’s SO mindblowing; I feel like I’m living in an alternate universe. It’s so illogical and unreal how much chaos one man, eith his cabinet’s full support, causes. I worry many Americans will be so exhausted that they disengage and disconnect. We can’t afford that.
At Virginia Grassroots we post boycotts here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EhrPrC66Kg_-1-eDCcaM4RiD2oglPXTYY4mfMyRqsyU/edit?tab=t.voxjjtuu5wg2. A few top ideas (1) for holiday spending please shift away from Amazon. Local stores, independent vendors, charities and non-profits, and charity thrift stores are among the best options for economic and social justice. (2) for everyday spending, please avoid GA Pacific Paper products; Angel Soft and Quilted NorthernTP, Brawny and Sparkle paper towels, owned by the Koch Bros heirs. We have a quiz posted on Mobilize where you can learn more: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/837359/
Economic blackout Nov 23- dec 2. Short term pain to stop long term pain

This is definitely a concern of mine. Concrete guides about how to protect yourself and what to do if you think something is fishy on your device.
Aaron Parness suggests “Deleteme” app

I’m a bit Leary also. Clearly, we need to band together w/any like-minded groups who are ready to mobilize, but I’m suspicious too.

I’m sure most know. We have to keep spreading the word though
Great chat with Maria & Miles. Thanks Waj.

BTW, Waj and others, here's a book about the Constitution for anyone 10 years and older (including adults), "This is Our Constitution: What It Is and Why It Matters" by naturalized American--from Pakistan--citizen, Khizr Khan https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/561885/this-is-our-constitution-by-khizr-khan/
Thank you so much to all 3 of you for this conversation and information on fighting this fascist regime. Truly appreciative.
