Flood THEIR Zone: Daily Acts of Resistance

Forums:

IMG_0268_0.jpeg

Zoner sisters and brothers, it makes me feel better to do a daily act of resistance against the fascist regime.

Add yours here!

This morning, I created and used a blind email address (easy to do on ICloud) to send an email to [email protected] with some choice thoughts about DOGE.  Federal employees have been instructed to send a list of "what they did last week" to this address by midnight tomorrow or else it will be considered a resignation.  Let's flood this inbox!

 

Remembered this from years ago and looked it up yesterday. Iris Dement. Time for it again. Here's a link to her doing it. I capo the first fret and play DGA.

We Won’t Keep Quiet – Iris Dement

D             G                      D          G

We are a nation     in a bad situation 

D             G                      A            D

so many folks        are under attack

D                  G               D                       G

We’ll stay together     brave this bad weather 

D                             G                A      D

We’ve come too far now   to turn back.

 

Chorus

D                        G                    D                      G

We won’t keep quiet, no      We won’t keep quiet, no

D                         G               A                          D

We won’t keep quiet, no matter what they do.

D                         G                 D                       G

We won’t keep quiet, no     We won’t keep quiet, no

D                         G         A                D

We won’t keep quiet, how about you?

 

We’ll stand with our neighbors with   or without papers

We’ll stand with Muslims, Palestinians, and Jews

We won’t be scattered   and yes, black lives matter 

And we will defend LGBTQ

Chorus

Truth will be spoken and     we won’t be broken

Our doors will stay open        to the refugees

It’s a revolution in defense of the constitution

What we are fighting for is our democracy 

Chorus 2X

Thanks, will check it out!

Here's the AP story with the background on the latest letter to federal employees: https://apnews.com/article/musk-federal-workers-trump-demand-firings-065...

“The reason this matters is that a significant number of people who are supposed to be working for the government are doing so little work that they are not checking their email at all!” Musk wrote on X. “In some cases, we believe non-existent people or the identities of dead people are being used to collect paychecks. In other words, there is outright fraud.”

^^^^^^ heart 

that idea wins the day

I love Iris.

I've been doing most of those boycotts everyday.

I love that they hung the flag upside down on El Captan, but the scale of that pic is really deceptive.

Sometimes, all I can get are flag stamps. When I use them, they are upside down.

 

Mark, you can also go to https://store.usps.com/store/home to buy stamps. They will be mailed to you, the usual shipping/handling amount is like $1.75 for a few sheets. This is how I buy stamps and it works out very well. I can choose ones that more reflect my sensibilities, lots of art, animals, locations, and more.

The Betty White stamps either are or should be out soon. I've been asking. I'm pissed I'm almost out of my Pete Seeger stamps.

Betty's doesn't look like this, though it oughta.

Thanks judit. Ordered Pete Seeger and Bluegrass stamps.

Have been collecting badass stamps forever

I used to feel like supporting my local post office meant something but in all these years they still have Louis dejoya in charge 

Didn't think to look for alt national park service on Instagram. Thanks for the tip 

Just remember, not everybody was on Hitler's side in the '30s in Germany

.

Also remember to support Costco and Apple who both refused to openly embrace racism in their work place. 

I will never shop at Amazon again unless there is absolutely no other choice. Also a list of the other companies they own. The consumer facing ones are Zappos, Whole Foods, Audible (rent from the library), Twitch, Ring, Washington Post, and One Medical.

A better play would be constantly ordering from Amazon nonstop and constantly returning the order on their dime. 

It's working. We hold the economic power in this country. As someone who spent way too much of my life in corporate meetings about hitting revenue goals I can tell you a 10% drop is a huge deal. The biggest thing it means is no bonuses for the C level.

Next level thinking Trailhead

>>>>>they still have Louis dejoya in charge 

Pretty sure he just quit the other day.

Now Donny can get the really bad guy he really wants - to privatize the whole thing.

 

Re. flag stamps - my PO always has about 20 types of stamps available.

From a Portland Activist Friend.... Zoners will excel at this activity.... post a photo before mailing!

 

On March 15th, 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 post office in

pink slips, all informing Donnie that he’s fired.

 

Each of us — every protester from every march, each congress-calling citizen, every boycotter, volunteer, donor, petition signer, and ANYONE opposed to

the cruelty and illegality of this "administration"— if each of us writes even a single postcard 

and we put them all in the mail on the same day, March 15th, 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 aiming to set a new record: over a million pieces in a day, with not a single nice thing to say.

So sharpen your wit, unsheathe your writing implements, and see if your sincerest 

ill-wishes can pierce Donald’s famously thin skin.

 

Prepare for March 15th, 2025, a day hereafter to be known as #TheIdesOfTrump

Write one postcard. Write a dozen! Make them pink if possible, a pink slip, "You're fired!" Take a picture and post it on social media 

tagged with #TheIdesOfTrump ! Spread the word! Everyone on Earth should let 

Donnie know how he’s doing. They can’t build a wall high enough to stop the mail.

 

Then, on March 15th, mail your messages to:

President (for now) 

Donald J. Trump

The White House

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW

Washington, DC 20500

 

Please copy and Share. 

Very cool Surf. Down here is pretty rural. They always show me when something new comes in that's interesting tho

I feel like there won't be real resistance until things get really bad for a lot of people.

Still giving kudos to those who are active now
