We are building a massive, visible, national rejection of this crisis—and today’s numbers are proof that the people—the majority—are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover.
Because let’s be clear: We do not have a functioning democracy anymore. Trump and his billionaire allies have dismantled our system of checks and balances, stacked the courts, silenced dissent, and declared themselves above the law.
They are disappearing people, attacking universities and the free press, and purging agencies meant to protect the people—from the environment to civil rights to public health.
This is not politics as usual. This is a hostile takeover by billionaires, corporations, and authoritarian enablers.
They are gutting the country for parts—and selling us out in the process.
They are not leaders. They are traitors to the people of this country.
So we are building a People’s Movement. And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.
But we have to earn it. And we have to fight for it.
We may no longer have a functioning democracy—but we still have a chance to restore it. The window is closing though. And we are the ones who must rise to meet this moment.
So here’s what you can do: 📱 Use the 5 Calls app or Resist Bot to contact your elected officials—every single day.
🎤 Demand town halls. Show up at their public appearances.
🚫 Boycott the corporations funding this hostile takeover.
🗣️ Talk to your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors. Don’t let them sleep through this moment.
📸 Share protest footage, updates, and facts on social media. Amplify the truth—because the billionaires are trying to drown it out.
📲 And follow us to stay connected, get updates, and join future actions.
We are not alone. We are not powerless. And we are not backing down.

No, that is just providing an opinion. If every option/observation were shut down with this "do not talk unless you have it solved", there would be no progress ever
If I took your pedantic stance, I would say you are simply insane as you want a different result by trying the same thing again and again and again... maybe the 20th time is the charm?
Today? sure, but your system is broken and you should probably focus on fixing that, instead of expecting the cancer is suddenly going to kill itself
What progressives? AOC and Bernie are the only ones that raise a voice and they have been (unfortunately) 100% ineffectual. The Democrats themselves have made sure nothing AOC or Bernie push gets anywhere
Again supporting my point that you need electoral reform
And you want to give those progressives that have been and continue to be disenfranchised a vote which would mean what? they cannot act and there are not enough of them....
I'm starting to think you are projecting your own "actionless criticism" on me
I’m simply saying your opinion is useless without a plan for action. The only way to get electoral reform without violently overthrowing the government is by electing more progressives. The action I’m suggesting is progressives voting for more progressive candidates in Democratic primaries to replace the centrists. Progressives have been unsuccessfully voting third party for decades, so that’s the one way we can be certain it will not happen.
Only Bernie and AOC? You’re not a US citizen, are you? There are many progressives in the House. The problem is there is only one in the Senate, Bernie.

You write a lot of words in condemnation, but offer no real substance for action. Please keep to yourself about politics that you are neither informed of nor impacted by.
as are all opinions, are you new to social media?
