D-Day for Trump and Elon --this deserves your careful attention
It’s D-Day: the day of Donald Trump’s inauguration and Elon Musk, the owner of X, taking office in the U.S. government. The day we change the convention.

Putting Trump and MAGA out of business on DAY ONE
NO AMAZON MONDAYS starting with Inauguration Day, with a warm up on January 6, 2025 for practice. We don't need to act like violent imbeciles to make a mark. Consumer buyer actions that can impede sales include: price comparison shopping excessively, delaying purchases due to uncertainty, returning items frequently without reason, leaving online carts abandoned, opting for cheaper alternatives, providing negative reviews, actively discouraging others from buying a product, utilizing loyalty programs solely for deals, and not engaging with sales promotions or marketing efforts; essentially, any behavior that indicates hesitation, dissatisfaction, or a lack of commitment to buying a product or service.
If the Washington Post does not want to endorse our favorite candidate there are other things we can do besides cancelling the subscription. It is time to be our creative selves. There are 75,000,000 of us and I think we are a lot brighter than the MAGAs. In Canada, they are setting up "war rooms" to oppose the MAGA types. I am certain that we have creative , inventive minds amongst out voters that can find ways to make a mark.
I am still inspired by Jesse Jackson's Operation Breadbasket. The neat thing today is that we can do this overnight. It took Jackson and MLK over a year to get it going and be effective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Breadbasket
January 20 and 21 , 2025 I think we need to do 2 days of this, and maybe a monthly call to arms.
National General Strike on Trump Inauguration Day: Jan 20, 2025,

Call in sick, do whatever you have to do to be out resisting on Day One. Form affinity groups, organize through spokescouncils. Do a lone-wolf sabotage action. It's up to you, your capacity, in accordance with you and your comrades' ability to accept risk. Go big, but pace yourself for the long haul. We won't win in a day.
Sympathy for the devil-Trump
Trump’s going to be busy. Here on DU we are so worried about our mission that we end up not being concerned for poor Trump. During Trump’s “First Hundred Days” he’s going to be exhausted . The business of resentment will more than likely exceed his greed, which seems impossible. Come on DU, have some sympathy for the Old Boy
Trump has his work cut out for him. His focus on his enemy’s list is causing a great distraction from his usual mission of greed. Long before he will retaliate against Democrats, he will be very busy getting even with the Republicans who opposed him in the 2024. It’s a very, very long list and for Trump, a person who wakes up every day to resentments and anger, he has his work cut out for him.
The list starts out with his former vice president Mike Pence and continues with Cabinet level officials. Here are some highlights:
John Bolton, U.S. National Security Advisor (2018–2019), Dan Coats, Director of National Intelligence (2017–2019), U.S. Senator from Indiana (1989–1999; 2011–2017) (endorsed Mike Pence), Mark Esper, U.S. Secretary of Defense (2019–2020), U.S. Secretary of the Army (2017–2019).
The list continues with George W. Bush, U.S. President (2001–2009) (declined to endorse Trump and did not attend the 2024 RNC) and “Darth Vader” Dick Cheney, U.S. Vice President (2001–2009), U.S. Secretary of Defense (1989–1993), U.S. Representative from Wyoming's at-large congressional district (1979–1989), White House Chief of Staff (1975–1977), White House Deputy Chief of Staff (1974–1975)[43] (endorsed Kamala Harris)
The list goes to include over 200 high ranking Republicans. The Donald is going to be very busy.

suck it up buttercup
If you all are so distraught please only take the ARSENIC LIGHT ---we are DEMOCRATS , and proud of it. I am 79 years old lost a wife, went bankrupt, house foreclosed and lost it. So what! I certainly am not gonna let Trumpy bring me down. So no arsenic , just keep up the good work. Think Obama twice. Think Georgia one black Dem senator and one Jewish. That only happened on a rebound. Thank Trump, he will create our next big win.
Is Helene the "October Surprise" for this election ?
The location of the storm damage and the size of it sure make it a candidate.
NYT paywall disappears if you try to read one of their anti Biden stories
I canceled my subscription when my iPhone could not download their stories on the phone itself. However, they continue to bombard me with "newsflashes" on my PC. Click on 'em and their stupid "bad news" about Biden comes out in full. Maureen Dowd has become Maureen Dowdy. Her sister openly supports Trump and doubled down after his 34 count convictions and her GOP brother ghost writes her stories.
It is no longer "all the news that's fit to print" but rather William Gaines, the Mad Magazine publisher said it only all that "FIT"
So maybe Trump is right, it is the "failing New York Times"
This new format is the best I've seen here on DU. I hope it is a keeper.
I tried to copy and paste using "print screen" but could not get it to print on this post
Etta James, Gladys Knight and Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody Business -- A NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM
Reproductive rights are about a hell of lot more than pregnancy termination. The Ohio constitutional amendment ensures, “Every individual has a right to make and carry out one’s own reproductive decisions … on contraception, fertility treatment, continuing one’s own pregnancy, miscarriage care, and abortion.”
For anyone other than the individual making that decision, these three women offer some counsel for you. Maybe it should be a women’s national anthem until it becomes codified nationally.
