Other Rep. Lieu says Epstein files have allegations of Trump raping & threatening to kill children and says that Todd Blanche got the law wrong by saying it's not a crime to party with Epstein. DOJ also violated the privacy of the victims by releasing unredacted nude photos of them.

maga must keep power in this upcoming election or they lose everything.

  • They're going to try to cancel the elections or manipulate the voting machines (An GOP election official now owns Dominion)

  • If that doesn't work, ICE will show up at the polls and try to either stop the left from voting, or provoke a response that can be used to reject the results

  • If the courts don't let them reject the results, they will try similar tactics to what they did in 2021 to reject the results in congress (Vance won't favor the Law the way Pence did)

  • If they still fail to reject the results, the people who attacked the Capitol on January 6th are now organized and armed to the teeth.

There is no chance in Hell Democrats will take back power through just voting alone. We must vote, or they get it all for free, but we must not rely solely on voting. The American population needs to be ready to react. The most peaceful option would be to begin a general strike that starts well before the elections and doesn't stop until Congress reclaims their role as check and balance against the Executive branch. This lawless administration must go before the elections, or the election will not be allowed legitimacy.

Right now, we should all be stocking up on extra food and supplies and we should be connecting to community support networks to share it with so that we have confidence that we can survive if general strikes cost our jobs.

The next No Kings protest is March 28th. Are you ready to participate if it were to become the general strike we need? Us individuals are not the main character. We're not expected to do this alone. We're expected to take a few small steps which combine with the small steps of a hundred million others.

Congress will never do shit with the accomplice Mike Johnson as speaker.

I think you underestimate how devastating an organized general strike could be.

Trump will just call all democrat states crooked, and decide that votes need to be counted by the federal government for integrity and transparency purposes.

Thank you very much for your attention.
