They currently have Candance Cameron Bure trapped in a Severence building being trained to tapdance for the MAGA elite.

Breathtaking!

I think there are lessons to be learned from the French Resistance. ChapGPT is handy if you ask, "How can lessons from the French Resistance be applied to resisting the current coup on the United States Government?"

I don't think people are willing to submit to anarchy, at this point, though I would not be surprised if it comes at some point from Trumps own base when they realized they've been had. Like many in Albany, I am looking and planning for ways to help my community.

I just think that is oversimplification and certainly there is all sorts of people. Jeremy is technically a state worker and works about 60 hours a week, often is dual tasking going over stuff on his laptop on the weekend, and all I have met in management have similar workloads.

I think there is a sense too that Magas seem to feed off the tears and outrage of liberals and grow (I have seen a gremlin analogy) and everyone now is trying to figure out how to work around that.

There are many government workers I know who are using their jobs to create change from within. They are generally pretty intense people both within their jobs and the community. Some of them are also the people at protests or the people packing lunches in the summer for kids in need.

There was a rally, but it got very poor media coverage and, I believe, was partially inside due to the cold. There are a lot of people in the community working hard, I saw it firsthand when J worked at the AGs office and saw the process of lawsuit creation against the federal government.

That would work if there was empathy. The stringest forced here are mighty dollar and a nationalistic feeling. Taking our money to businesses that care about the public and supporting local communities will talk loudly. I have pulled the $1200/month I spent at Whole Foods.

It was condoned, and I was immediately treated like a departmental outsider. I thankfully befriended one professor who, for personal conflicts amoungst the same faculty, had moved his office into the geology building. He took me under his wing, and I am forever grateful. RIP Dr. Richard Andrus

What can't be explained in the limited words here is the abuse and sabatage that followed. I went from always finding success in academics to have every road block put in front of me. I still have flashbacks of some of the things that occurred.
