The January 6th lawbreaker President, day 38

Notes of day 38 of the presidency of the power-crazed, January 6th lawbreaker, 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.

An email that came to my attention
Date: February 25, 2025 at 3:02:02 PM CST
To: Admin 
Subject: DEMOCRACY IS  QUICKLY DYING IN PLAIN DAYLIGHT. LET'S DO SOMETHING!
 Dear Friends,
    I am trying to reach as many people as possible as quickly as possible, so I went through my entire email list letter by letter and picked adresses from over 70 friends and acquaintances that I felt might want to DO SOMETHING about the current political meltdown. 
    I am a member of Indivisible, but this is a personal initiative to help the few people out there that are actually trying to do something. 
    For street protest to be effective, the rule of thumb is that it takes a SUSTAINED ACTION of roughly 4% of the population. That is over 12 million people, not achievable right now. Too many people don't care, or don't even pay attention to the Coup d'état unrolling  in Washington. And most Democratic leaders have been pitifully meek and ineffective, seemingly just throwing their hand up and hoping the whole thing will crash under the weight of its own incompetence and excesses(dixit James Carville). 
    I strongly disagree. One only has to read the history of Hitler's dismantling of the German Republic  in less than 2 months in 1933. That is the playbook Trump and Musk are following step by step. The messy chaos is actually created on purpose to destabilize and scare the civil servants into falling in line to keep their job. 
    If nothing is done , we will in short order find ourselves in a police state with a corrupt DJ and a mean vengeful Kash Patel in charge of the FBI. Think Hoover on steroids and more. 
    Soon, they will criminalize protest, declare Martial Law, arrest people and completely knee cap the opposition.
    The only way to fight back is to STRIKE and SHUTDOWN the country. The goal is to disrupt the economy and hurt big business where it counts, their pocketbook, to push them(even coerce them may be) to do the right thing, stop supporting this Fascist regime, and find the guts to speak out and stop the abuses of power and the wholesale dismantling of the US government. Same goes for the lame politicians and the mostly ineffective media that would have to report on it. 
     There are actually three  major actions planned currently, and I think they are great ideas. That's all we got anyway... And if each one of you did the same I did and forwarded this email to all their  friends, family and acquaintances, we can exponentially reach millions of potential strikers in a matter of days.    
   The first is promoted by a group called The People's Union USA:
     It is now also now pushed by Reverent Al Sharpton.
     On February 28, for a full 24hours:
                Global Economic Blackout
                No spending, no shopping, no use of credit cards.
                No going out, no Starbuck, no Big Mac, no Netflix, NO Social media
                Turn off your smart phones completely off if you can.
 The second is pushed by a group called SHUTDOWN315 :
     On March 15, 2025 ,  Total Shutdown: 
                      No work, No shopping, No travel, No school
                      No compliance - Everything Stops, no Netflix, nothing.
  The third one is organized by General Strike USA:
            https://generalstrikeus.com/      
    They ask you to commit to the strike by signing a "Strike Card. There is no date set because the strike will only take place if they reach the critical mass of 11 million signatories. I think it is a long shot, but why not try anyway. We got nothing to lose.
    The ideas seem to be percolating on Substack, Facebook, Reddit, Bluesky, Signal and TikTok.
    I feel we all need to do our part at this critical time and give it a big push. 
   WE CAN.
   The best way to grow the audience is to harness the power of exponential growth, like a pyramid scheme for good trouble.  
    If each and everyone of us emails or texts or calls several friends and talks them into joining the movement, and if each one of those friends does the same with their friends, who themselves keep doing the same, we can reach millions of people in a matter of days. 
    Please, let's get this going.
PS: Some of you are close friend, others acquaintances I may have not seen in a while. So I am sorry and apologize if this unexpected email bothered, angered or distressed you in any way.
      I welcome answers, comments and suggestions.
  There are other actions and boycotts popping up every day, all along the same lines and the same dates, like this one:peoplesunion.com/
