Just a 64-year-old U.S. citizen sadly watching our democracy slip away and trying to figure a way to help save it before it's too late.

Proud to be woke, LGBTQ+ supporter, believe in women's right to choose. Moderate left.
Are we to believe that Trump and his associates are investing $200 million in a ballroom that they'll only get to use for a couple of years? That's either a poor investment, or they're planning on staying longer.

Prepare - Organize - Resist: Save our Democracy

I think Trump really wanted the name Gulf of the USA because Gulf of America now includes Central America and South America. We should celebrate his oversight!

I encourage all of you to take part in this Monday. It would definitely send a message to both MSM and D.C.

They want to crash the economy

So they can declare a crisis and state of emergency

So they can suspend free speech -- and imprison and execute people without charges or trials

This is the fascist playbook -- know it so you can oppose it

We are watching the pieces being assembled for us to lose our democracy. We need to:
- Prepare: autonomous, secure communications
- Organize: your totally trusted family and friends, pick a leader
- Resist: save our democracy

Prepare: Setup you own secure, autonomous communications

Organize: Establish a group of your 100% trusted friends and family

Resistance: Interfere with their agenda and operations

Using secure comms we can perform large scale non-violent resistance with the collective groups. Preserve Democracy
This isn’t just The Good Place.
It’s The Resistance Place.

It’s 2016, and Jeb Bush won the presidency. Where do you think we’d be today? Even though there were differences, the two parties worked together for centuries. Someone turned this into an "us against them" fight. We need to ignore the thorn and work towards common ground from the bottom up.

HR 9495 (providing for removal of tax-exempt status for non-profits, e.g., AP News) passed in the House with the help of 15 Democrats. clerk.house.gov/Votes/202447...
This new law is founded on existing laws designed to protect against foreign terrorism. Why specifically target non-profits?

After the 1959 Cuban Revolution, the people of Cuba had neither the intention nor the desire to become communists—but that’s what they got.

I believe many of us recognize Trump’s intentions. Trump won the election because many voters chose to sit it out. We need to wake up and restore the majority.

When I was a child, I hummed "The Halls of Montezuma," watched black-and-white World War II movies, and consistently heard that America was the defender of democracy. We cared about civil rights around the world. Within the U.S., there were struggles to create equality. Was this all for nothing?

Never had a social media account of any type in my life (I'm in my 60's) but hoping that signing up for Bluesky will send a positive message.
