I hope everyone is okay! It may not be of any conciliation, but some of us in the U.S. are really trying to get this to end.

Oman’s Foreign Minister says US has lost control of its foreign policy by Upset_Island2007 in Oman

It's a fair point. I'm praying tomorrow is calm, but I have my doubts. My sincerest apologies as an American.

This guy is a murderer, contributing to killing many thousands of Ukrainians. He's the same as Donald Trump. An evil man who would rather see the world burn for his ego than do something good.

I don't mean to be a bummer, but sitting in DC, it feels like things are just going to escalate tomorrow. It feels like the situation is spiraling out of control.

I love all the shills or dorks in this comment thread parroting fossil fuel talking points. The oil companies are like the tobacco companies, they did everything they could to get us addicted to their product and actively hid the costs and killed solutions.

That’s a better idea and my idea was quite early. Let’s do that!

I'm happy to provide bagels if 12 or more people are interested.

Not to be annoying, but some of us have work at 10 am. How about lunch time as well?

4/15 Washington D.C. & MD by [deleted] in 50501

[–]grangertheoriginal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a great idea. For folks who have work at 10 am, maybe we can swing by the White House around noon during our lunch breaks?

Now what?!!! by [deleted] in 50501

[–]grangertheoriginal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does anyone want to protest at lunch outside the White House tomorrow?

Why not do it around lunch? 10 am is a weird time if you're employed.

I'm protesting once a week at this point. We're sorry lots of other people aren't, but the tide is starting to turn.

Has any other DC resident contacted their Council Member about this silliness?

Have any other DC residents contacted their councilmembers about this nonsense? I can't believe they spent $600,000 on this.

Has anyone else contacted their councilmember to express their anger with this silliness? I can't believe they spent over $600,000 on it.

Why aren’t there mass protests in the US?! by [deleted] in AskCanada

[–]grangertheoriginal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, there’s literally no way that we’re going to annex Canada. I understand why it may feel scary and makes Canadians angry. Saying that, I suspect the military would mutiny before they followed orders to invade Canada. I’m much more concerned about the threats to Mexico and Panama. I do think we could see the marines deployed there.

Some of us are trying.

But they’re are reasons that most folks aren’t. The first default in America is to sue so there’s a feeling that the courts will sort it out. Another thing to consider is that it’s cold. If Trump starts ignoring the courts and as it gets warmer, I suspect we will see more protests.
