This is an ineffective forum??

[Canada Kid]

All the crap stories coming out faster than they can be reported...corruption, slippery deals, questionnable legislation, outright devious backroom shenanigans...it doesn't stop. Just a handfull, guys like Pete Buttigieg, are the only ones shouting out. Where the hell are the American people? The ones that voted for Harris. Your Medicaid is being demolished, Social Security being hollowed out, and all you do is whine? Legal types must figure out something and fast! And People have to get together and protest loudly. NOW!!

1. I think that rant was not helpful. . . . nt

2. Do you watch Rachel? Every night for close to 100 days...

... she showed dozens of protests across the country. She does it again weekly.

I don't know how people can yell any louder. The problem is that no one that matters is listening.

3. Legal types are doing great work out there. And being completely ignored by this illegal regime.

What are YOU doing to stop it?
Look, I understand your frustration, but calling out a "forum" isn't helpful.

4. Jen Saki is a waste.

I sent Jen Saki this message: Cause we do not want or need a pudent to scare to say the truth. "Jen you sound like someone who praises trump. You are so neutral, what you say is offensive to non trumpers. So afraid of being fired, you say nothing”. So disgusted with pretend journalist protecting trumpism.

8. You complain about her journalism and you can't get her name right (twice). Pot meet kettle. :eyes:

And "pudent"?

And "to scare to say"?

12. She had a great segment on her show the other night.

She went through a list of Karoline Leavitt’s lies from a press conference and corrected every one of them. I thought it was great and hope she will keep doing that segment. I can’t see how anyone would think she is praising Krasnov.

She isn’t Rachel, but she is on our side.

5. And just how do you know that "all (we) do is whine"?

Just because someone posts here does not mean that is all they do.

Have you participated in any of the thousands of protests which are happing around the country? The next major one I am aware of is June 15. (There have been at least two major protests and one minor one since the first of April.) Are you reading original source documents to inform yourself (court documents, bills introduced in congress, etc.)? Are you speaking with friends and neighbors to help inform them? Are you regularly writing and/or calling your senators and congressmen? (Just a few of the things I'm doing, in addition to posting here.)

6. Take a breath & channel the frustration thatwe are all feeling. Read more than the most offensive MAGAT "doings" threads

and start looking for those that discuss our wins in court (ACLU, DEM State AGs, other Dem organizations, Marc Elias, and others), those that include the investigative and fully informed come-backs as our DEMs take on Admin appointees before congressional committees, and especially those which detail the protests throughout the country, including those upcoming.

Take on one or all of those to heart and find those that inspire you to action and do it. There is nothing better for unrelenting frustration than taking action oneself. Really.

It isn't this forum that is the problem. It is a tool and what we do with it is up to us.

7. You've been on a roll lately

[GoodRaisin]

9. Well, most of the news sure hasn't been good lately, but that has nothing to do with this forum.

All across the country there is much pushback on Krasnov’s shit sandwich going on as we speak. As for the forum, it is functioning fine. It is not the forum’s fault that the news is lousy.

10. Oh, a new variation of "Why don't Democrats stop ___ ?" -- "Why doesn't DU stop all the bad Republican things?"

11. What you want happens in the meatspace

Online is for organizing and spreading the word.

For instance: https://indivisible.org/statements/indivisible-and-partners-announce-no-kings-nationwide-day-defiance-flag-day-during

Washington, D.C. — Today, Indivisible and a coalition of pro-democracy partner organizations announced the NO KINGS Nationwide Day of Defiance on Flag Day (June 14). The actions are set to take place during Donald Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C., on June 14. Instead of allowing this military parade to be the center of gravity, activists will make action everywhere else the story of America that day.

Alongside local organizers, partners, and leaders from across the pro-democracy and pro-worker movements, activists across the country will come together for marches, rallies, and demonstrations to reject corrupt, authoritarian politics in the United States.

This mobilization is inspired by the success of Hands Off! and May Day and is intended to once again motivate actions in towns and cities in every state in the country. Over 100 events have already been registered all over the country, and more will be added here...
