Some positive news His approval ratings are cratering, and united resistance is working. Keep it up, impeachment is imminent.

It's working, guys. Americans are soundly rebuking Trump's handling of...well just about everything.
If you need a little motivation, you have to watch these 2 recent videos from Maddow:
Trump's second term already falling apart less than 100 days in, polls show
And this one, about how the mass public resistance is successfully forcing him to reverse a bunch of major decisions, including: Reversing cancelations of thousands of student visas. Reversing the firing of FDA food safety workers. Walking back RFK's "autism registry" where he wanted to track a bunch of private medical data for a population he has zero understanding of. Restoring the Crime Victims Hotline. Resuming non-English translations for the National Weather Service. Restoring funding for the most successful long-running study of women's health in history.
Protests broke out immediately over the WI judge arrested for "obstructing" an ICE arrest and she was quickly released, prompting the governor to officially limit cooperation with ICE from state employees. Trump is drowning in lawsuits over small businesses and state economies hurt by tariffs. Lawsuits from schools and research institutes over funding cuts. SCOTUS is not greenlighting his witch-hunts, and his DOJ is not going to avoid a contempt charge over the Abrego Garcia case.
100 days in, and he's absolutely lost the public. An increasingly united refusal to comply from every level of government and civil society will absolutely be the end of his wannabe-dictator reign. In fact, it appears to work much better than capitulating in fear, and a new ad campaign is resolved to make that clear.
Do not break stride. Keep showing up. Keep refusing to accept any of his blatantly corrupt actions as legitimate. Keep demanding the attention of the media, lawmakers, and the public. It's working, the tides are turning, because we've kept showing up, speaking out, and refusing to give in.
We're witnessing the last tantrums of a doomspiraling administration. The delayed effects of this tariff war will become visible on the shelves within the next 2-3weeks, and the trucking industry is going to take a hit with the 30% drop in cargo too. It'll suck but it will also make it impossible for Republicans in Congress to keep defending him...
Impeachment is imminent.
Let nothing slow this movement down, flow around the twists and turns like water and keep moving forward. Trump's regime is too incompetent and reckless to hold itself together in the face of united resistance.

They won't. Republicans had their chances and failed at every turn. The GOP favour power over all else. Mid term Dem success is needed to take majorities.
I know the Dems are uninspiring, but hold your noses, smash the fascists and then turn target on corporate Dems.
Don't hold your nose.
Target corporate Dems with primaries.
Get better candidates that are anti fascist and support ideas that inspire voters from independents and progressive left so they actually come out and vote like their country depends on it.
Don't let the uninspired Dems in for one more term, it just leads to more fascist backlash when the do nothing but hand everything to their donor oligarchy.
Fair point and I agree with this. Primaries are a good way to get good candidates. However, when the dust settles, whoever wins, back them because they're better than GOP and may provide a vote that tips the balance in certain key votes.
Then when the next primaries come, rinse yourself off, repeat, organise and improve. See if success comes then.
They might. Most of them see how damaging and dangerous this is. Less than half are on board for full fucking Nazi fascism if they think they have an out.
"Imminent" is pushing it. Impeachment by the end of the year is more likely than not.
No, because any GOP that goes against Trump suffers electorally or get booted out. They're spineless and scared, so will not, even if they want to. They know how their bread is buttered. At the first impeachment, they failed to stand up when they could because Trump supporters deeply infected the party at all levels. They could have stopped this before it even started.
Don't get me wrong, I want this as much as you, but unfortunately it's naive and not based in reality. It'll only lead to disappointment and a feeling of hopelessness. Organise and effect the change you want to see, don't hope leadership comes from elsewhere. It comes from each and every one of us taking steps to do the right thing, regardless of the discomfort.

I completely agree, but if they're offered an actual opportunity, they'll likely take it. Things in the first term were easier to ignore than this term. They're not all idiots.
It needs to be coordinated so we don't blow one at a time. But not every GOP congressman wants to betray their country. We should allow them some leeway for their cowardice if it leads to using them to save the country at a smarter time, if we can coordinate them to actually accomplish impeachment.
If Trump is actually impeached and convicted, it might blow up their party temporarily. But they can split and lead their party in a new direction. One where they can be more honest about their politics. A smarter, better, more honest, actually patriotic Republican party. It's possible. I wouldn't start with Jim Jordan though.
We've beat the Nazis before. We've beat the Soviets before. We can beat them both again, even if they're already inside the House.
Impeachment without removal only emboldens him. Who are the 20-ish Republican Senators who aren’t traitors to theirs oaths and this country that are finally going to do the right thing this THIRD time?
Impeachment is not imminent. Wtf are you smoking? The republicunts control both houses of congress. Even if he were to be impeached, he would never be removed from office. Impeachment without removal only means that he can flaunt it even more. Impeachment without removal is essentially saying you did something wrong but there's not going to be any penalty for it.
Moreover, let's say he were impeached and removed from office. Well then you have President JD Vance. This guy actually has a semi functional brain unlike Mango Mussolini. Vance could end up being infinitely worse than Trump.
Okay by some miracle you managed to impeach JD Vance and remove him from office.
Hello President Johnson! Who is probably even worse, because not only does he have a brain, he was mentored by fucking Mitch McConnell who is probably the most evil and shrewd politician any of us have ever witnessed.
This is not quite approval polling, or election intentions for 3rd term. This is opinions of those who consume and understand the news, if their understanding is framed on one key issue. If Trump actions are framed around their hatred of hispanics or muslims from different origins than them, then we get different answers.
We also see headlines like "Trump support cratering among hispanics". 32% approval rating still, which given plans to send all hispanics to death camps without expense/delay of due process, is like 32% of Jews for Hitler.
Somehow, there are still too many people not paying attention, or whatever news feed they do consume, makes things seem normal.
I guess that push polling disinformation can help us win, but does not reflect well on democracy.
I read 80% of republicans still like him
