First, thank you author(s) of 50501 for your informative posts and guidance through 2025!

Shutting down wind projects from Virginia to New England is just intentional punishing of blue states. Connecticut is heavily invested in wind turbines in LI Sound. AG Tong and the AGs of other affected states will come out swinging. But meantime, energy costs remain high, part of the “affordability hoax.”

Well written! I read our cruel and Scrooge-ly modern tale in a mulled wine fog but it still brought a tear. May the redemptive ending be forthcoming soon. Thank you and bless us everyone.

Walking out at 2 pm is such a disappointing idea for a national response -- too little, so late. I think many of us are in the mood (nationally) for something big, preferably creative. Locally, we are involved in many, little, time-consuming efforts of questionable effect. They are not unimportant -- but nationally -- something big, preferably more often than once in 6 months!

Very difficult to be merry and light with all the evil and darkness that is emanating from this administration. 😞

Twas the night before Christmas in the house of injustice. The creatures were pedophiles, drug lords, thieves, con men, oligarchs, ICE, lizards and snakes roaming the Whitehouse grounds. Our good nights will be the apprehension and conviction of these creatures. Our Christmas will be following the teachings of Christ. For real.

I’m so ashamed of this government. You’ve touched on all our failures as a nation to be proud of.

We need to March to the Whitehouse. Tag it with the 1/20 walk out. 1/24 walk to the Whitehouse, chronicle your journey there. 20 million people surround the Whitehouse and demand the removal of The entire Trump Administration.

We don’t have more time.

Ukraine took down Yanukovych against these same bad American and Russian actors in 2014. We have to do the same now.

Non violent march to the Whitehouse!!

Please embrace this action!

Plan it! Promote it. I can’t take any more ICE stories or videos

I beg you 50501. Please advocate for decisive action.

This shall be a year to remember. Unlike the Dickens book, this IS " the worst of times, the age of foolishness, the epoch of incredulity, the season of Darkness, the winter of despair."

I appreciate all you do but just a few “walkouts“ won’t change anything, I can tell you that. This needs to be much bigger and more frequently or we will go under.
