WAITING TO TALK WITH MIKE JOHNSON, SPEAKER OF TRUMP PUPPET REGIME
Mastodon Post

Rep. Becca Balint

We’re outside Speaker Mike Johnson’s office demanding to speak with him about Senator Padilla.

Very strange developments these days. MAGApublicans know Americans do not support what they are doing and they are sneaking their Project 2025 agenda through, circling the wagons, digging in.

GIVE 'EM HELL, BECCA
Mastodon Post

Becca Balint, Vermont Democratic Member of Congress, going after the give to the rich and take from the poor Republican bill before Congress. It is Greed and Bleed, pure and simple. As Balint's colleague, Bernie Sanders, said, it is a death sentence for many - all to pay for huge tax cuts for the wealthy who don't need any tax cuts.

REPUBLICANS UNDERCOVER
Mastodon Post

It is perfectly clear to me that Capitol Hill Republicans are not their own people. They do not represent their constituents back home. They provide representation and constituent services for Donald Trump and that is pretty much it. They are so much under Trump's thumb that not one of them could engage in the controversy as to whether it is okay to deport a United States citizen child with cancer. The Republican Party is deathly sick.

SAY NO

MAINE SAID NO
Mastodon Post

In the 1960s, we had a catchall term, The Movement. Time has come to revive it. The woman shown here in a screenshot of a video short, Becca Balint, is an exception; but the leadership right now is mainly coming from people in the streets. The Movement. I am absolutely bewildered by the lack of effort coming from Capitol Hill politicians. Odds are you are too. But... Street demonstrations have been very big and very numerous. The Movement is underway.

TRUMP GESTAPO AGENTS, DISGUISING THEIR IDENTITY, KIDNAPPING PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS

IT COULD AND MAY HAPPEN TO YOU

Mastodon Post

In a lifelong line of research, I have read many articles from nineteenth-century antislavery journals such as The Liberator (Boston) and the Herald of Freedom (Concord NH). What Trump's Gestapo is doing is precisely the same as what the slavocracy did in the mid-19th century. PRECISELY THE SAME! If this and the arrest of a judge does not scare you half to death, you're not paying attention. This is grim business and it must be stopped. And yet a search last evening and this morning through a variety of political posts found only two things talking about it: - outrage from my Member of Congress, Becca Balint, and a very poorly edited quote from Jamie Raskin. This Axios article is a good starting place

axios.com/2025/04/25/fbi-arres

The article barely scratches the surface but it is fantastically better than anything else I have seen. Google News this morning all but buried the story of the arrest of a judge, though once I dug deep enough it is where I came across the Axios article. It should not be necessary to dig to read about NAZI Don's dictatorial takeover of the United States of America.

The dictator, Donald Trump, has brought us MAJOR TROUBLE. This is no exaggeration. It is going to be necessary to call on the people to come to the rescue of our country. Please see the attached quote from the first widely-circulated message from the Republican Party in its earliest days. It is beyond imagining how the Republican Party could have decayed away so extremely far from its origins.

RETURN TO SLAVERY DAYS
Mastodon Post

This arresting people without evidence of any wrongdoing or without any legal issue and whisking them away is exactly what happened in this country in slavery days. Donald Trump has returned the United States to the worst of the nineteenth century. As though shrinking the US economy is not bad enough.....
