I’m freaking out - but also maybe let’s give it a go?
Joy is a form of resistance.
I should read more and doom scroll less.
eh- it’s sort of the lin manuel “Hamilton” argument … #3 in rank not due to lack of vision- rather that actual practice of the vision being the greater challenge elevates others who were met with a time of great urgency while he practiced with per -your own argument - and element of impunity.

there is an organized effort to keep people from joining together… bots are busy to keep us from being united. no one is perfect - but at least someone is starting to lead against this nonsense … we need to unite and focus.

so you just want to stick with status quo ? there’s no hope for a change bc everybody is bad and no body’s good ?

the people who voted wanted the white man - the white man manipulated their collective internalized racism and misogyny in order to gain power and money -

Someone doing something meaningful is really a boost - we need more of this energy from everyone - I appreciate what you guys are doing too!

i’ve tried that - and been told “satan knows scripture” -being called satan. I guess i’m in a negative headspace- but - I like your point - and I am going to practice being in some positive space for a bit / we can do this / there are more of us than i realize / our goals for democracy are possible

they’ve systematically indoctrinated the rural church - how do we overcome that - the suffering is now seen as part of the grand plan -
March 30, 2025 at 2:57 PM
yeah true - i didn’t read it like that - more like - pointing out our collective indifference-
what can we do ? i feel like marching is a path to martial law - but an economic strike would work - idk - what’s our path forward ?
March 30, 2025 at 2:48 PM
not enough of us are - we need more
March 30, 2025 at 2:29 PM
what do you mean? I feel like reasonable and critical observations from abroad will help us see what’s happening better - we have to get more organized and quickly - we have to change how we protest - immediately- criticism for not doing so is helpful - bc - it verifies the immediate need

it was still 3 hours ? like distance hasn’t changed … my point is … the government would shut down these trains if we organize a DC protest en mass
March 30, 2025 at 2:21 PM
how can gen x women begin to support each other so we are able to use the power of “old white woman” … we are going to have to be willing to lose security in order to gain real democracy- but again, this is new territory for many of us … we were in diapers during Vietnam and Watergate …

i dont disagree -

* 3 hours if he was coming from jersey … or new york …
March 30, 2025 at 1:04 PM
I mean it was still a 3 hour trip one way - it’s just to say it will take some coordination - and if millions are on a train headed to protest - not give a lecturer or go to a job … it feels like the trains probably won’t be running that day … like …. we need to be strategic here
March 30, 2025 at 1:02 PM
It’s a valid point -but outrage over slow response is also valid -coordinating millions of protests requires a level of leadership we appear to lack atm-it is also not a part of our culture-but I hope we are getting there - shaming us will help - actually -be vocally angry at us for non response
March 30, 2025 at 1:00 PM
that being said - you are all still right - and we have to do more - immediately -
March 30, 2025 at 12:54 PM
It’s a 3 hour train journey - one way -
March 30, 2025 at 12:43 PM
women need to run for office - but maybe not women who protect and defend pedoS as the “victim” -
