Trump opposition finds its footing, from streets to courts to Congress - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC

[Rhiannon12866]

Rachel Maddow looks at the many ways Americans are obstructing Donald Trump's goal of dismantling the Department of Education, from street protests to lawsuits to acts of defiance by congressional Democrats, and notes that the response to the threat to the Department of Education is emblematic of the broader national opposition to Trump's agenda. - Aired on 02/11/2025.

1. #wethePeople need massive, continuous College kids out there with the demonstators!!

The repugs in Congress and WH have not yet gotten the message that we are piss^^!!!

2. We need protests across the country the way that happened when Bush*/Cheney invaded Iraq

Or over TFG's family separation policy "kids in cages." They were very well attended even in my small city. But will TFG make good on his threat that he will send in American troops to break them up??

4. Will the troops ALL go? The UCMJ Article 92 gives them an out by refusing to follow a unlawful order.

I can't be the only person who has ever worn a uniform who would not attack my fellow citizens because a madman issued an order.

Unlawful order!

5. Considering his previous words about our military, I would hope they wouldn't listen.

Thanks so much for letting me know that this would be an unlawful order.

3. How stupid are our Congressioanl elected officials. Look at Trump's history he will use YOU until he doesn't need you.

Play with him, and someday, he will kill you by any means accessible to him. It may mean a challenge to you in the next election, paid for by his billionaires. Use voter suppression to beat you in the ballot box. Re-structure your political district. Shoot you in the street with immunity.

Fight him now, and we will all (including you, Congress members) stand a chance to survive this nightmare. Ignore him, and there may not be a way back. Lots of you will have no choice but to go home and take back your old job. Eventually, he or his henchmen will eliminate you by assigning you a use-by date or discard you as unnecessary.

Watch every success he has and think to yourself, THAT IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO ME.

You are not necessary to his long-range plan—or, I should say, this puppet master's long-range plan.

6. Teachers are in!

As an elementary school teacher in the SPED department in my district, I fight for my students every day. Resist!
