We can’t be scared of fatal outcomes because this regime is killing us for less. Sounds dramatic and scary but we gotta start standing for something or we’re going to fall for anything

They are going to try to implode everything by November. They are speeding through timelines and ideas because they see the changing tide. But what is the cost of the damage we’d have to repair by November. We gotta get active we can’t wait.

We must demand impeachment now. Waiting until midterms is too far. This administration is moving like a boxed in animal. More dangerous and unpredictable/nonsensical by the day.

What will it take for the American populace to commit to a large scale act of civil resistance like a general strike? They are already taking away food assistance, so let’s take it a step further. Show these billionaires that they are nothing without us. Now is truly the time.

Sappy, and probably not well said because I have had many restless nights recently - but what I truly believe and am willing to fight for. The Fight Continues…

And what I want is a world that values the best of our “humanness.” Not money, not technology, not how much we can produce, but how much we can understand we share this same experience of floating on a rock in the middle of an endless expanse and we can make the best of it for everyone.

I think that more people need to believe that real change is possible. When you reach the top, things/bad actors will always try to set you back. That’s a thing we’ve all learned, right? And we are then taught to keep going, keep fighting because nothing should stop us if you we want it bad enough.

I say all of this to say, I want more people to believe that all is not lost. Yes, I can (and often does) feel that way, but if we all have the energy of hopelessness, then it will consume us. We may not live long enough to see the change, but I am not going down without a fight.

I would not classify myself as a Christian or a religious person, but having grown up learning a lot of the parables, almost by osmosis, I will say that this feels like the evil humankind was warned against. And wasn’t it noted that many people would fall for this evil because of its slipperiness?

I feel defeated now. However, I will not let this feeling be a permanent state. I firmly believe in energy and that almost anything *can* happen. I refuse to let this world succumb to, let’s just call it, evil. Evil that is trying to dress itself up in a sleek package.

Sinners is a fantastic movie! I was skeptical, as I often am when everyone is saying something is good, but this movie good! Looking forward to seeing it again, and I rarely feel that way about movies in the last 10 years.

Vice chair Hogg has people in a tizzy. Many of these dems are looking funny in the light and deserve to be replaced if they will sacrifice this country to stay nearer to power. I’m in support of his efforts. Now, are there any up and coming dems we should note?…

And the most disappointing offenders are every single democratic politician who is still trying to play nice. The people couldn’t care less that “you don’t have the numbers…” Try having a spine first! Except that you are okay with what’s happening because it benefits you in some way… Make it plain.

They know what is up and are okay with sacrificing this country and the very real human beings who live within it for rich, racist, (mostly inept) white men to try to create a new world order. Folks gotta stop himming and hawing about it and call it out - plainly.

Every single media outlet, education institution, company, etc. that sees what this administration is trying to do and is either bending the knee or staying silent is complicit. We can’t keep talking about it like it’s a shame - it’s a choice!

Wish those living in the US that feel overwhelmed the rampant corruption & fascism could go to some other country for just a bit. It would give more gas in the tank to keep going. Though our world is spiraling the rest of the world keeps spinning. The break I took rejuvenated me. The fight continues

Why must we pay into a corrupt system? Especially if there aren’t enough people to put out every fire? I do understand that people rely on federal money, but this administration is not going to give it to those people, so why pay it?

Serious question, if the IRS is being gutted AND we know that this administration is doing everything in their power to steal federal money and line their pockets - why are we still paying federal taxes?
