COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS

“Courage can be contagious. It is easier to be courageous if others are courageous, which is why solidarity is essential. Demonstrations show us we’re not alone — that we’re part of a broad movement to take back our democracy. (Mark your calendars for the next No Kings protests, on October 18.)” ~America's Professor Robert Reich

Also:

Boycott Amazon! Boycott Amazon's owner, oligarch Jeff Bezos's and his Washington Post and Blue Origin too!

America's Professor, Robert Reich offers proof that Amazon is cheating it's customers! Plus we should not be supporting oligarch owned big corporations!

I am 77. I protested in 68-72 and then life got in the way but this is too important not to be front and center. Do it for the planet because we may not have one if we fail to unthrone this administration.

SAVE OUR PLANET SUPPORT THE PROGRESSIVES!

The Denomic Destructor of Democracy, Führer tRump cares nothing about animals, the planet, the climate and he especially doesn't care about humans.

He is defunding and plans to sell off parts of our national parks to his oligarch friends for development.

He's defunding Climate Change initiatives, Weather Monitoring services and is spending FEMA money on building detection centers instead of helping victims of natural disasters.

America's Professor, Robert Reich teaches us how the tRump is destroying our National Parks and the process is impacting the economy too.

Many of us are afraid. The unconstitutional and lawless behavior of all federal agencies and Supreme Court that have been captured by Trump/MAGA have stripped away any sense of justice. Talk of resistance must now be couched in careful language and must absolutely remain peaceful as the pitbulls are straining to unleash the Insurrection Act. The division between red and blue is locked in Congress, but not the majority of citizens. Now, more than ever, is the time for millions to make their voices heard.

Truer words have never been spoken. Don’t let fear paralyse you. Let it galvanise you. You can beat this threat if you stop fearing this inconsequential man. He is NOTHING! People all over the world think he’s a danger to your country. So protect other democracies by showing the world YOU WILL NOT SURRENDER!

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." ~John Lewis

It does so feel like America is on a sinking ship. I keep thinking of all the the Jews that lost their belonging their homes, their friends and families, their lives because they couldn't believe the rumors about the evils atrocities their denomic Führer had unleashed. What if more Jews had heeded those rumored warnings? More could have been saved.

They only had rumors - we have the internet! Brave people are telling us their stories every day, warning us of what's to come. Should we all be thinking about packing up our belongings, selling our homes and getting out of the USA while we still can. Before we get rounded up and put on a plane to nowhere, never be seen again.

Führer tRump has already said that he wants to detain everyone who opposes him - if you are one of those people you will be at risk someday. He has already initiated the first steps towards genocide in the USA.

What the fuck are you waiting for? Some other country to start dropping bombs on us like we did to end the evil Dick Traitor in Germany.

Americans will die, our Children too, without the emergency, medical and care services his Big Brutal Bill stoled from us.

Do you MAGAts really prefer that your tax money goes to funding war and ICE instead of caring for your American friends and family? If you prefer that way of life, be easy on yourself and move to an already established communist country like Russia and save yourself the trouble of trying to turn America into a dictatorship.

Leave the USA to those of us that prefer peace, progressive democracy and our American diversity.

If by chance there are any MAGA supporters out there who may be feeling a touch of guilt over the loss, pain and suffering endured by people hurt by the tRump regime - you are not alone.

If you are a Republican and are struggling with the decisions of the current administration - you are not alone.

If you are a friend or family member of a die hard Republican MAGA supporter - you are not alone.

There's hope and support on LeavingMAGA.org. LeavingMAGA is on Substack too.

I have another event that same day, but luckily the event in Edmonds, WA starts at 3pm so I will go to both. I've purchased a "Impeach Remove Convict No King " T-shirt which I plan to wear to my first event. Then I'll be picking up 3 neighbors and we're all going together to the protest.

My primary project is talking with outsiders about the movement and helping others do the same. There’s a huge gap between what participants in the No Kings protest are saying and what the average voter actually perceives. It’s essential to bridge that chasm with conversations in order to build influence and prevent backlash.

Also any black or brown people need to be Ultra-protected! Ask them to join your group and make sure you have their back. Miller will try anything to disrupt the protest and if Patel and Noem’s goons move in you need to protect those and not let them take anybody from your group.

DON'T BE A TRUMP - BE KIND!

Sharing kindness is another great way to support the the Anti-tRump / Fight the Oligarchs Resistance!

What the world needs now is love, sweet love. It's the only thing that there's just too little of.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love, No not just for some but for everyone.

Lord, we don't need another mountain, there are mountains and hillsides enough to climb.

There are oceans and rivers enough to cross, enough to last till the end of time.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love. It's the only thing that there's just too little of.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love. No, not just for some but for everyone.

Lord, we don't need another Meadow, there are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow.

There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine.

Oh listen, lord, if you want to know.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love. It's the only thing that there's just too little of.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love. No, not just for some but for everyone.

No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone.

I agree that we should all feel at least some modicum of “love” for one another. Being a brit I can of course relate to that message when I was growing up because to the Beatles “All we need is Love.” As you know a American took offence at that, then I moved to Canada for a great number of years and visited the States on various occasions and found the Americans I ran into to be “extremely” judgemental. Not all, yet still the majority. I don’t know for-instance why they pay homage to a flag! To them that denotes patriotism, yet I find it “weird” as Tim Walz would say. America has long been polarised. The trump election drove a wedge into that polarisation because to have one half of the country fighting the other half suits him down to the ground. He’ll pick up the pieces to enrich himself, his donors and his family. Until then that wedge he reinforced stays!

I don't want to use the same restroom as ICE agents. (Solidarity with police)

Do what Georgia proposed to do to voters in line at the polls. (Georgia wouldn't let people bring water, cool packs, and food to people in line to vote.)

There might be a revival of the “remembered to bring snacks” from the takeover of the national park. ICE workers can pack lunches!

Columbo adds one more thing. People on Threads are talking about leaving church because of adoration of Kirk. They will have Sunday mornings free plus the energy. I hope to get atheists etc to form teams to recruit from those churches - the taco is not Jesus, the closest Mike Johnson gets to being Moses is a fire. Johnson's pants are not a burning bush!

Make voting against trump a positive moral choice. Not trump or Hell!

Get ahead of Veterans Day. My town would shove me in front of a semi if I showed up alone.
