This started with just me and a flyer I made, piggy backing off International Women’s day. Don’t be afraid to utilize social media, piggy back with other organizations, or to use your voice to stand up and speak out. don’t forget!! Together united we will never be divided! Proud of my city today.

Ukraine is severely weakened in its ability to defend against Russia. Removing assistance at a critical moment in Ukraine's war effort; without a clear strategic alternative, is a clear indicator that Trump wants Ukraine to fall. This is direct pro-Russia action to undermine Ukraine and not an action which furthers the cause of peace. Hence Trump is pro-Russia reversing years of US history and against the wishes of most Americans.

Whether Trump is a Russian asset or not is mute - it doesn't matter - his actions is the telling indicator of where he stands which is against the interests of the American people.

So on March 6th, Seth Magaziner (D-RI) introduced the “No Invading Allies Act”, which would prohibit Trump from invading or seizing territory from Canada, Greenland, and Panama. Here’s a link to read about it: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1936

As Trump continues his threats (which are not “jokes”), it’s important that some action is taken. So far the bill has been cosponsored by Norton (D-DC), McIver (D-NJ), Thanedar (D-MI), Boyle (D-PA), Evans (D-PA), Titus (D-NV), Swalwell (D-CA), and Jayapal (D-WA)

If your Representative isn’t listed as a cosponsor, here’s a link on how to find and contact them and ask them to cosponsor it: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/119/hr1936/comment

So I had a friend send me a tik tok about RFKS wellness plans thinking it was a joke and I said no that was a legitimate thing and then we finally started talking about what was going on. She knows NOTHING and I mean NOTHING she avoided politics like the plague and now I’m wondering do we have something that can be a synopsis a baby step into this all? There has been so much happening it’s hard to even start. Can someone give me a good source for a summary and or should we make one? Turning people like my friend over is probably one of the best ways to get more numbers because a lot of people don’t know this isn’t just politics as usual.

Pics aren't great and don't show off the size of the growd well (I'm short, sorry lol) but his staffer told him over 9k came out, so many they had to move a bunch to other rooms where his speech was televised.

Some of my US friends might have seen that Al Jazeera recently published an opinion piece by Tim Constantine, a Republican strategist, titled “America needs Donald Trump right now. Here’s why”.

https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2025/3/9/america-needs-donald-trump-right-now-heres-why

Look, I obviously support a free press and the right to express an opinion. But I also think, particularly now, that the media has a range of choices to make about whose voice it promotes. Opinion pieces are relevant and meaningful when there are nuanced debates to be had or multiple sides of an argument to be explored. I don’t think anyone should be seriously contemplating another “side” to Trump’s actions. I have written to Al Jazeera to tell them my thoughts. You may wish to as well.

In solidarity, from Australia.

r/buycanadian has managed to inspire the creation of other subreddits (I saw one for Europe too). I was wondering if anyone has made one for the us, but specifically something like “buyblue” (not something like buyAmerican, because I think that would spread the wrong message). If one exists, can you post it in here? I think we (I’m referring to myself and other Americans), should be following the Canadians by example a lot more. Idk, I just think having a subreddit specifically focused on it would make it a lot easier for people to boycott Trump supporting businesses, since everything would be all in one place. Also it would be a good way to promote businesses who share our ideals, especially smaller businesses. 💕

This is a repost of my old thread (I deleted and changed the title, thanks to a suggestion 💕)

EDIT: r/progressivedirectory, please give them your support, and help them grow!!!

Regular reminder that when the time comes, they will be the ones arresting everyone for being queer, trans, disabled, a scientist, for just speaking out, etc.

They’re not here to keep you safe, they exist to protect property and power.

Cops are not and will never be safe. They shouldn’t be welcomed or trusted. Ever. Even the gay ones. Even your cousin. Even a woman cop.
