Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

Each human’s government record can become an opportunity to bring another extraterrestrial into the open on this planet. He’s hunting humans.

Joshua Steinman was in the 1st Trump admin. Tech billionaire Peter Thiel backs Steinman’s company, Galvinick, via Founders Fund. Yesterday, Steinman wrote, “Nobody wants to talk about this, but the # of men one wld need to take South Africa right now is embarrassingly small.” He cc’d Erik Prince. 1/

Speaker Johnson has the authority to have Sarge At Arms arrest and bring to Capitol brig ANYONE, even Musk. Convince Johnson!
Better than a strongly worded letter. Not as good as articles of impeachment.

(Yes, I know they don't have the votes to impeach. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be drafting articles every day over & over again. They don't have the votes to pass this legislation either, but the ACTION is what matters."
Schumer: "Today Leader Jeffries and I are joining together to push legislation to prevent unlawful meddling in the Treasury Department's payment systems and protect Americans across the country ... we call our legislation, 'stop the steal'"

Now of all times Susan Collins picks to support Tulsi Gabbard, an unfit and dangerous nominee. Collins is the worst judge of character and ability I have ever witnessed. Everyone from Kavanaugh to Gabbard gets her ok. Maine- kick her out in 2026

Please tell everyone you meet in real world b/c media is not amplifying the most critical news about the coup.

Anthropologists know that phallus worship is not essential to human biology. Neolithic societies enjoyed gender equality. Later cultural developments afforded men advantages to control women, which is called patriarchy . . . no matter how many hyper-masculinized men blow themselves up in a Tesla.

2001: A Space Odyssey showed early hominids dancing around an alien totem pole. Modern humans unearthed an alien obelisk on the Moon. Kubrick asked if human’s phallus worship is itself an alien artifact . . . no matter how many patriarchal sexists blow up their Teslas in Las Vegas.

You don't want to be the Democrat who says, "Maybe the guy who is trying to bring Nazism back to Germany has some good ideas about cutting defense spending," but we've got some!
Glad to see this put in simple terms and at the top of reddit politics. Normalizing Nazism as centrism is his project. And it's working.

The forces of capital could be at least be expressing some revulsion. Instead, we're getting lectures on not using the right words to describe this horror.
The Most Powerful Man in America is a Nazi Sympathizer
Elon Musk is just the latest billionaire to exert tremendous influence over U.S. politics. When he says he supports Neo-Nazis, take him at his word.

Evidence for the extraterrestrial invasion of Earth is on porn sites. Extraterrestrial women squirt like drinking water fountains when they orgasm, which is NOT a characteristic of human females. “Squirt” is a standard search word on all porn sites. So much for SETI.
