To go down as the party that didn’t just watch the fall — but fought the hell back with everything they had.

But the clock is ticking.
And the deportation buses are idling.

We need to be deafening.

You still have a chance to do something historic.
To be remembered for courage, not caution.

I’ve only got 6,000 followers — but the groups I’m in? The networks I touch? Over a quarter million.
Often when I speak, it echoes.
But when we ALL
speak, it ROARS with pressure that will cause change.
April 17, 2025 at 1:06 PM
We are watching.
And I don’t just mean your base.
I mean millions of us who see exactly what’s happening.

I’ve only got 6,000 followers — but the groups I’m in? The networks I touch? Over a quarter million.

And your biggest move can’t be another strongly worded email.

We don’t want your urgently fundraising subject lines.
We want backbone.
We want action.
We want to know you’ll stand up before we’re all ordered to sit down — permanently.

Stop being scared to fight dirty when the other side is fighting to erase the damn Constitution.

They are threatening to disappear AMERICANS.
April 17, 2025 at 1:04 PM
You can’t stop a regime by asking the king to sit down.
You dismantle the throne he’s standing on — one coward at a time.
April 17, 2025 at 1:04 PM
You should be independently investigating every author of Project 2025,
every aide who defies court orders,
every communications director repeating lies,
every policy writer enabling cruelty,
every water boy who keeps this engine running.

They knocked out the foundation one pillar at a time —
until the “strongman” had no one left to stand on.
And his power crumbled beneath him.

7. Study the collapse—and the comeback.

You should be learning from South Korea and how they managed their brief rule under dictatorship.

They didn’t waste time chasing the one man with absolute immunity.
They went after the structure.
The aides. The enforcers. The loyalists. The architects.
April 17, 2025 at 1:03 PM
We don’t need purity.
We need numbers.
We need people willing to burn their red hats and testify against the machine they helped build.
April 17, 2025 at 1:02 PM
They will have to deal with that internal struggle — the guilt of putting a very dangerous and callous regime in power.
But they’re already outnumbered. Don’t push them back into the crowd.
April 17, 2025 at 1:02 PM
Everyone makes mistakes — even glaring, critical ones.
We are not the bullies.
We are not the ones filled with hate.
And it is not your job to shame people who finally saw the fire and chose to step out of it.
April 17, 2025 at 1:02 PM
Make it easy for the cracks in the system to become gaping holes.

And while you’re at it?
Stop ostracizing MAGA defectors.
April 17, 2025 at 1:02 PM
6. Create a digital safe haven for whistleblowers and defectors.

Not everyone inside this regime is loyal.
Some are scared. Some want out.
Build the channels.
Encrypted. Anonymous. Protected.
April 17, 2025 at 1:01 PM
If the mainstream won’t carry the truth — outflank them.
Get creative. Go underground. Go global.

If our democracy is being dismantled in broad daylight, make sure the whole world sees it — and make sure we’re still able to say it.
April 17, 2025 at 1:01 PM
And stop relying on platforms that are actively suppressing truth.

Start leveraging Substack. Use Bluesky.
That’s where the resistance is migrating. That’s where censorship hasn’t caught up.
April 17, 2025 at 1:01 PM
Feed the real stories to BBC, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, Reuters, Der Spiegel — hell, leak them to anonymous dropboxes if you have to.
Make what’s happening in America a global scandal.
April 17, 2025 at 1:00 PM
5. Leverage international media and watchdogs.

Stop hoping U.S. cable news will wake up.
They’re too busy playing both sides of fascism.
April 17, 2025 at 1:00 PM
We don’t need more slogans.
We need survival manuals.
April 17, 2025 at 1:00 PM
Text campaigns. Mass trainings. Downloadable “Know Your Rights” kits. Multilingual legal guides. Encrypted phone trees.
Give people tools, not soundbites.
April 17, 2025 at 12:59 PM
4. Use your platform to educate the public on rights and resistance tactics.

If they’re going to strip us of rights and lie about it — arm the people with truth.
April 17, 2025 at 12:59 PM
• The plan to hold perpetrators of human atrocities accountable
• The urgent commitment to immediately bring home those sold into slavery in El Salvador
You say you’re the party of the people?
Then show the people the plan.
April 17, 2025 at 12:59 PM
You should be publicly laying out:
• The laws and amendments you’ll pass to ensure this never happens again
• The systems you’ll tear down and the safeguards you’ll enshrine
April 17, 2025 at 12:59 PM
You should already be working with strategists and military minds on PROJECT 2029 —
a coordinated, long-term plan to rebuild this country when the smoke clears.
