House Judiciary Committee ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) marked Trump's first 100 days by calling out the president for assembling a gangster state.
Jamie Raskin is the person I trust the most. He is constitutionalist of the highest level Trump is an out of control narcissit and needs to be stopped. We can't wait until the mid-term elections. We need to stop him now!
The felon must go. I will continue to strike with my dollar. I will be out and proud on May Day. I have stopped trying to call NC, my causes all got $5 this month.
I suggest that a general strike and only buying essentials (general boycott) must be not be a day or any fixed duration. They must last as long as it takes until our core demands are met.
These must include at a minimum undoing 47’s destruction of our government, his assaults on due process and posse comitatus, codification of human rights and the rapid drawdown of fuels and restoration of biodiversity.
Then some workers who were safely striking at home would go back to equitable work consistent with sustaining limited resources and a livable climate.
Trump and billionaires want to crash the economy their ways for their purposes, knowing it’s causing our people to suffer. If we will suffer let it be on our terms, bringing down the corrupt plutocracy, taxing wealth at pre-Reagan levels, making industries like oil and chemicals and shareholders pay to clean up their pollution, restore ecosystems, cross train workers into jobs in Earth sustainable businesses.
How many Americans must die before somebody in power can get control of this mess? When will the Courts stop supporting him? When the military decides we can’t oppose, will they kill us? It sounds like that’s what he wants. Dead Americans who support the Constitution instead of him.
I was just on Live with Al Sharpton on his show, Keeping It Real. The plans are in the works for a large event in June 14th involving unions and a larger event Aug 28th. I will keep people posted. Fear is a deal breaker!
Shout it from the rooftops! This man is no president! Raskin is 100% right and the repuglicans are prostrating themselves to him in order to feel powerful. They have completely failed as representatives of the people!
Jamie and his team are doing yeomen’s work on behalf of our country and our Constitution. We must all follow their example and call out the Republicans for their cowardly malfeasance. The majority of Americans and the rest of the free world are clearly fed up with this self-serving autocrat, and local/State elections point to a total rejection of Trump and Republicans in midterms. Let’s be done with him, and them.
I love his statement, but enough talking. The federal marshals need to waltz in and take every last traitor including those in the Senate who voted for this shit. Do something for the love of God. I am in a state of panic, and where the hell is our Supreme Court? Total crickets after they’ve been dismissed by this administration, and they can do anything they want including arresting judges. But again crickets from the Supreme Court, who is responsible for this bullshit. I mean, I’m at a point where I’m talking to my family about where the hell we’re going to move to to get out of this country before it turns into Hitler Germany. I feel like we’re getting close. Does anyone know what country wants us or would except us? Used to be the United States was the safe haven. That ship sailed. Sorry, don’t mean to vent on your substack, but I felt like I needed to say it to somebody who’s listening to see if there are like-minded people who are just as scared as I am.
p.s. I don’t know how to make a post that is visible to all on Substack, because there are no directions for Substack. So here I am venting on this page.
Raskin has made a good statement, here. The appalling, ghastly results of Trump‘s behavior are truly sickening. I am grateful to every body person who’s gotten out there to demonstrate, and who is finding ways to sue Trump and his actions in the hope of ultimately correcting The wholesale wrong he is causing. Words can’t express how sad I am that I can’t be 100% active, but we’ll keep doing every small thing I can to stop this horrendous miscarriage. We can’t let Trump destroy us and our democracy, no matter how long it takes us to fix itafter his evil.
I get it, but the waiting-for-the-election response is truly a sad thing to see. “House is burning down, but we need to wait until we hire more firefighters “. Meh.
100 % support, believe, witnessed & know a LIAR NAZI AUTHORITARIAN, KLEPTOCRACY ,
Maybe call it a klepto-kakistocracy !
❤️ me some Jamie Raskin

We are the People!
We need a National Day to strike, but so far, my request has been ignored. We have to go big or go home.

Thank God for Jamie Raskin!

We need to march on Washington. Does anyone remember the Million Man March? We need to plan a massive demonstration
A MILLION MAN MARCH might be necessary!
We need a 2 million people citizen's march.
He can’t wait to declare martial law. Keep your powder dry. 😏✊😎

I totally agree with Jamie Raskin!!!

Hey Chuck Schumer. What do you think about this. Do you just not care? Are you not aware of what is happening to our country.
Men in black breaking into houses. Causing damage and stealing people’s property. Stealing cash that those people will never get back.
Plans to make our entire country a police state. Making any action illegal.
You are culpable, Mr Schumer. You are ineffective.
Chuck’s napping. It’s been a long century for him so far.

Jamie Raskin is a clear-thinking, plain-speaking, hard-hitting American hero. Grateful that he is leading the change.

Spain & Portugal are very accepting.
Well said Jamie! Very articulate and succinct

Raskin is a brilliant man and a tenacious fighter, and i am grateful for his leadership.
