There are some great orgs in the comments to help us resist.
If you are worn out, terrified, angry, worried and feel like America is more and more like Nazi Germany-
Let’s organize, plan and DO SOMETHING. My father was 2 when the Nazis invaded Oslo. He was 8 when they were finally freed-he was malnourished like many children and had to learn to eat again.

Yes! Please give a longer character limit and edit feature.
Dear @bsky.app : the thread composer is great but a 500-character limit is still necessary. The current 300-character limit preempts nuance in replies and leads to typos that are introduced while editing posts for brevity

PS: on a related matter, please add an Edit button 🙏🏽

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

President Trump claims to distance himself from Project 2025, yet key contributors now hold top roles in his administration. Russell Vought (OMB) & Brendan Carr (FCC) are among them. Even Senator J.D. Vance, who wrote the foreword for a related book, has ties to the project.

Let’s talk about gaslighting—a manipulation tactic that makes you question your reality, memory, or perception. It’s subtle, insidious, and often used to gain power and control. Recognizing it is the first step to resisting it.

What happens when a man raised to see empathy as weakness and division as power rises to lead a nation? Let’s explore Donald Trump’s story and how his upbringing shaped the leader we see today.

History has lessons we can’t ignore. Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf laid out his vision for Germany, a roadmap rooted in division and fear. Today, Project 2025 outlines sweeping changes for America. Let’s explore the parallels and what they mean for democracy. #LearnFromHistory #SaveDemocracy #Resist

A failed artist changed the world forever.

I want to share a bit of history—a cautionary tale about Adolf Hitler, a man whose rise to power reminds us of the dangers of unchecked hate and fear. Let’s explore how his story unfolded and what lessons we can take from it.
