Hello 50501, I heard your valuable feedback and am back to present the redux of this design. Not much change, just some words. I included the original next to the new one just for reference. And now with color! I'm gonna call the colored ones the "marine edition" because my partner and his fellow marines said they liked the design but they'd like to see some color because "we like flashy stuff". Not sure how the felt about the use of "fall" or "die", so I included both.

To everyone in the original post, thank you so much for your feedback! I hope this does justice to your expectations. Any further feedback is encouraged! I want this to reach as many people as it can, so let me know what I can do to encourage you to share this amongst whoever you think needs to see it. Thank you guys, let's stay UNITED!

Trump signed the EO in front of a bunch of children to dismantle the DOE. My mom is a university professor at a state college that receives federal funding from the DOE. She works in the science department as a PhD theoretical chemist. The university admin that has taken over the establishment in the last 10-15 years has constantly put pressure to remove the sciences from the gen ed curriculum. This may be the push that lays her off at no fault of her own, simply because she is the longest tenured professor there at this point. However, she does not have the same protections as full professors because she opted to not do research. She opted instead to teach and has been one of the best teachers I've ever met by far. I might be biased, but her students say the same. She made it her life's goal to provide education to any and everyone and has always been in the side of the students. She's tough, be she makes the time to be there and teaches true understanding not just assigns homework. I've watched her dedicate her life to what she believes in. That is now at risk.

My father, as of this morning, was just admitted to the hospital. I don't have many details as my parents and I live on opposite coasts now. But my father was a carpenter, and a damn good one. Due to work conditions he lost his hearing and has emphysema and is disabled and unable to work given his condition,, receiving disability. He is currently in the ER, the doctors wanted to call an ambulance, but they waived it away as they wouldn't be able to pay for it, if that gives you an idea of their financial situation.

If my mom is laid off, they will lose their insurance. Depending on what my dad's condition is, they very well may not be able to cover the expenses. With the upcoming cuts to our countries social services, it's unlikely that the treatment my dad may need will be covered.

How the fuck can anyone support this bullshit? How can two people who gave their bodies, minds, and souls building homes for people to live in and educating our future workforce be left in the dust to fend for themselves when they've don't nothing wrong? They've done nothing but support this country and the administration would rather take more money from them and let them die? This is a dystopian nightmare and I cannot fucking believe anyone who is a working class citizen votes for it. I get you want change, but what the fuck are you doing? Voting "for" change? That's laughable, get off your ass and do something rather than blaming hardworking people for your own problems. Grow a fucking spine and fix things you lazy assholes, my parents shouldn't have to be broke and die for your shitty self to complain that you don't have enough money and your city isn't taken care of. It's the people at the top who keep your money, wake the fuck up.

Thank you for letting me rant. I hope you all have a good day. And I hope my dad ends up ok. Get up and get out there if you haven't. This is the reality we live in. We have the power to change it if we don't just sit complacently and tune things out hoping for the best. We have to make the best.

This is not a joke. This is not hyperbole. Trump is openly calling for 20-year prison sentences for people he deems “terrorist thugs” for actions against Elon Musk and Tesla—and he is suggesting they be sent to El Salvador’s infamous prisons, known for their extreme human rights violations.

This is the language of an authoritarian leader consolidating power.

It is no secret that Trump and Musk are deeply intertwined, with Musk being granted unprecedented influence over government functions through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). But now, Trump is not just calling for harsher penalties—he is advocating for punishment that mirrors the worst authoritarian regimes in history.

There are clear historical parallels here.

Putin criminalizes opposition under the guise of “terrorism”, jailing political enemies, protestors, and journalists under extreme sentencing laws.

Erdogan has systematically used mass incarceration to silence critics and those who oppose his consolidation of power.

El Salvador’s Bukele has turned his prison system into a dystopian nightmare, locking away thousands in inhumane conditions under a vague “anti-gang” crackdown, which critics say is being used to imprison innocent people and consolidate his rule.

And now Trump is invoking these same methods, explicitly praising El Salvador’s brutal prison system as the model for his vision of justice.

This is not about vandalism. If it were, he would advocate for the standard legal consequences for property damage. Instead, he is laying the groundwork for a state of exception—one where political enemies, protestors, and dissenters are labeled as “terrorists” and locked away under extreme sentencing.

We need to be crystal clear about what this means.

This is the public justification for mass political imprisonment.

It starts with those deemed criminals.

Then it’s the protestors.

Then the journalists.

Then anyone who dares to oppose his administration.

There’s a fascist playbook for a reason. Repression doesn’t happen all at once—it happens step by step, always justified, always framed as necessary. People don’t willingly give up their freedom unless they are made to believe there is no other choice. This is the only way it works, because no other way would people logically let their rights be taken away.

And once they realize what they’ve lost, it’s already too late.

We just going to keep letting this happen?

A veteran FBI agent who blew the whistle on alleged political bias during Donald Trump’s first presidency was arrested at New York’s JFK airport moments before boarding an international flight.

It is being reported that Chainsaw-In-Chief is pleading with his employees NOT to sell their TSLA stock. This is despite a $200/share price drop since Elmo started slashing the Federal Govt apart with a chainsaw.

What this tells you is that, the pressure from Americans and those around the world, is having a MAJOR influence!

It is proof that the little guy can make a HUGE difference!

100,000,000 millions little guys can beat the world's richest man.

Keep it up. Boycott Tesla. Sell TSLA. Close X accounts.

Keep up the pressure! He’s tanking and tanking hard.

I do want to open up discussion next on what - if anything - can be done against SpaceX. Obviously cancelling anything Starlink (if you haven’t already) but unlike Tesla, SpaceX is propped up as a government contractor. I’m imagining he doesn’t have near as much monetary freedom with them?…

Tesla backer says Musk must reduce Trump workforce as 46,000 cybertrucks recalled

Tesla and Elon Musk are embroiled in a “brand tornado crisis moment” and the electric carmaker’s chief executive needs to cut back on his work for Donald Trump to stem the damage, one of the company’s biggest supporters has said.

We should have all our representatives out there circling the country. They could rally up the whole country against this madness. Call and encourage this, the country needs rallying and organizing.

Listen to that crowd! This is the energy we need. Don't give up, we need all of you right now!
