On March 15, many people will mail Donald Trump a postcard that publicly expresses our opposition to him. And we, in vast numbers from all corners of the world, will overwhelm the man with his unpopularity and failure. We will show the media and the politicians what standing with him—and against us—means. And most importantly, we will bury the White House and post office in pink slips, all informing Trump that he's fired.
Each of us—every protester from every March, each Congress calling citizen, every boycotter, volunteer, donor, and petition signer, if each of us writes even a single postcard and we put them all in the mail on the same day, March 15, well: you do the math.
No alternative fact or Russian translation will explain away our record breaking, officially-verifiable, warehouse-filling flood of fury. Hank Aaron currently holds the record for fan mail, having received 900,000 pieces in a year. We're setting a new record: over a million pieces in a day.
So sharpen your wit, unsheathe your writing implements, and let Donald Trump know what you think about his actions.
Spread the word. Everyone on earth should let Trump know how he's doing. They can't build a wall high enough to stop the mail.
Then on March 15, mail your messages to President Donald J Trump, the White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500.
Strongly worded memos. Classic. But it only works on democrats.
So, how many of those postcards do you think DeJoy and his christian army of mail sorters will let through? How many of those missives will reach DJT so that 'he will know'?
Good people always assume all the rules and accepted protocols, all the best practices and faithfulness to the institutions that's required for your postcard to get from your hands to His Majesty will...just...happen. Despite. All. Evidence. To. The. Contrary. Forever.
At least mail them to Mar-A-Lago!
So so naive.
How about Snakes-in-a-can? Put some grass in there before mailing.
I hope my post ages badly and the postcard writing campaign KILLS it.
Well, you may be right. But we need to keep testing multiple forms of resistance to see what works. What's the alternative, take Carville's advice, roll over and play dead?
Resistance is not futile, and silence is acquiescence.
I just wanted to personally thank you for your invaluable contribution to the absolute annihilation of the United States. What you are doing is unforgivable.
I’m originally from TN, and I would like to thank you on behalf of myself and my TN-dwelling family for that concise yet excellent description of Andy Ogles.
I hereby formally request a TFN and/or JL inquiry into Gluesenkamp-Perez. Where the f did this monster come from? She squandered a kajillion dollars on non-stop local TV ads to "urgently" defeat a regular-style Trumpist moron. Turns out she just a lipsticked version of the same GD thing. How does this happen? Is her whole "I own a repair shop and turn wrenches" thing phony? Who TF is this personage? What fresh Hell is she from?
Sometimes I chuckle to myself when I think of something that I hadn't heard anyone else say and then along comes Jonathan, who writes it later and I think "wow, that's a great idea!!" 😅😉
This time, it's the idea of laughing at the lies, in unison. I am planning on going to a town hall with our senators next weekend (if they show up) and thought what all of us should do is just laugh at whatever idiocy they come up with. Booing just seems to make them mad and shut down. But laughing at them may make them realize we just don't think they are serious people.
My favorite thing is to get about fifty agreeable folks together, go to a local or town hall meeting and, when the pre-selected trigger word comes out of the politician's mouth, all fifty people fall down 'dead' on cue. This is usually linked with how their thoughtless and greed-lust decisions are gonna kill people.
You are a stand-in for those deaths. You make those abstract deaths real and visceral. There may be some short-term disruptions. You may get scolded by other supposedly caring people for being 'disruptive'---those people should be laughed at, in unison.
…and fuck Gavin Fucking Newsom too, for his fancy dinner party in the pandemic and for attacking the FIVE transgender collegiate athletes with POS Charlie Fucking Kirk.
That slick-haired guy has sites on the presidency. Newsom will NEVER get my vote because of this. Dems that bail on the transgender or any other community of people under attack by these soulless monsters will never, ever get my vote.
I am fucking LIVID!!! It is way past time to primary the shit out of every fucking “centrist” Democratic Senator and member of Congress.
We may not win many of these battles, but we are going to go down swinging. Progressives have been the driving force behind every single good thing this country has ever done for its people. So fuck them all…we are coming for them.
Now, fellow Newsfuckers, please start sharing any information you have about organizations who are leading this effort. Thank you!
After him, fifteen feet behind each other, one at a time. A continuous conga line of silent, distracting, united Democratic party disruption. Displaying solidarity instead of simpering surrender.
So loved the fire showed by Hakeem Jeffries in response to the pathetic Andy Ogles' threats to remove Dems he objects to from their committee positions. I have long believed that this bold truth teller was lurking somewhere beneath Jeffries' uber-chill demeanor (something he doubtless learned growing up, in order to navigate life in Whites Only America). Boo-yah. More, please. This is such a good sign.
There is a fraud by Trump and Musk. Musk is demoted because he does not enjoy legal protections that Federal employees have. Musk is subject to civil lawsuits for damages. Tens of thousands of lawsuits are coming by damaged Federal employees. . Americans are being played. Illegal actions are not savings, they’re crap. We are being distracted by hundreds of line item veto “ex post facto” savings, all of which are illegal. We are being distracted by Federal employee firings, all of which are illegal. We are being distracted by thousands of cancellations of grants and contracts, all of which are illegal. The courts are intervening now.
The Fraud on America: Trump, Musk, and Speaker Johnson are trying to ram through the tax cuts, before:
• the courts cite them with civil contempt and levy huge financial penalties
• the impact of their illegal actions are reversed, and their “savings” flip back to $0.00.
I call for immediate full disclosures of what currently is in douchebag Musk’s DOGE bag of findings. He is hiding that at the moment since the courts have stifled his efforts. Let us make him certify his cost and pricing data, so that it comes under the Truth in Negotiations Act, now the Truthful Cost or Pricing Data Act (Title 41 U.S.C., Chapter 35). That must be required. I also call for Musk’s testimony under oath before Congress.
I call for Musk to divulge the truth of what he found, after he deletes what the courts say he cannot do. He cannot fire. He cannot cancel a single contract or grant. He cannot impound funds. Johnson intends to use Musk’s currently bogus data in his CR bid. Crook.
Spare me the BS braggadocio about saving billions and billions. Illegal actions are not savings, they’re crap. I don’t buy crap when we are talking about a $4.5 trillion tax cut. I say Trump and Musk’s ploy is all a fraud founded on a bag of smoke and mirrors, now a hidden accounting not corrected by current court edicts, and a “bury you in paper” con job.
Let us see it. Empty the douchebag’s DOGE bag. Transparency now! Don’t let the douchebag hide it another day. We cannot shoot any line item down until the residual data is displayed.
All too true, Carl. And here's a burning question you might want to explore: Who, what and when will any law enforcement officers move to ENFORCE all those judicial attempts to uphold the rule of law? I stay up nights wondering about this, as it seems so central to the crisis we're facing.
Jonathan, I was unexpectedly overcome by a wave of generosity towards your TFN after reading it and straightaway decided to upgrade my free sub. However, it took so fucking long to get to the money shot on the app that the old Yiddish guy who lives in my head managed to say "do you want the shirt off my back?" and the wave of generosity withdrew across the drear shingles of my dessicated soul. I will make another attempt if my forthcoming PET scan is good news. But I do love what you're doing, for what that's worth.
It’s not for nothing that I am an unaffiliated voter. While republicans are generally reprehensible, democrats are failing to meet the moment. It’s time to get rid of the bipolar system altogether.
National ranked-choice voting and the end of Citizens United would kill the stranglehold of the two party system. Which is why I don't ever see us getting either.
So the transgender mice are now stealing the jobs of white men. What is this world coming to? (I loved the joke - making fun of the stupidity is the best medicine.)
Further evidence that 47's "speech" was composed by AI--couldn't tell the difference between "transgender" and "transgenic"? Just like the AI data told them to ban images of the Enola Gay bomber because of the word "Gay" on the plane.
It helped me vent. I want to replace our Democrat “leaders”. I want to call them names. I want to blow them raspberries. I want to fart in their general direction. I’m going to write them now but I can already recite to you the patronizing letters I’ll get in return. It’s like that.
"I want to fart in their general direction."--Now THAT would have been an appropriate response by the Dems during 47's address Tuesday night! (The "Blazing Saddles" response?)
send this to everyone you know

Every single Dem should have walked out with Al Green, but that would have required balls.
After him, fifteen feet behind each other, one at a time. A continuous conga line of silent, distracting, united Democratic party disruption. Displaying solidarity instead of simpering surrender.
Thank you for always making me feel better, justified, empowered and grateful!! Have a safe trip. Looking forward to the next issue!

Upcoming test of this is three house seats up for grabs, if progressives can win these they become the majority.

At least the Democrats created transgender mice. They can replace them as Congresspeople and as Governor of California. Huge improvement.
So the transgender mice are now stealing the jobs of white men. What is this world coming to? (I loved the joke - making fun of the stupidity is the best medicine.)
Further evidence that 47's "speech" was composed by AI--couldn't tell the difference between "transgender" and "transgenic"? Just like the AI data told them to ban images of the Enola Gay bomber because of the word "Gay" on the plane.
And this comment helps who, exactly?
It helped me vent. I want to replace our Democrat “leaders”. I want to call them names. I want to blow them raspberries. I want to fart in their general direction. I’m going to write them now but I can already recite to you the patronizing letters I’ll get in return. It’s like that.
Forget the “general direction”. I want to fart right into their faces. I want even worse for the Republicans.
"I want to fart in their general direction."--Now THAT would have been an appropriate response by the Dems during 47's address Tuesday night! (The "Blazing Saddles" response?)
I was thinking of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but thanks for reminding me of Blazing Saddles!
It helps people like me. It’s funny.
Maybe lighten up, Leigh.
