Alas, at nearly 88 years of age, I admit to no longer being up to date with the newer items of interest. But no matter how it's framed, the concept to never give up defending freedoms in the face of any efforts to destroy them is important. It's tiresome to face the same feeble arguments used against us. We are haunted by failures in the past to keep our freedoms safe. Nevertheless, we don't sit down and give up. Continuing to stand in defiance of the ignorant influences attacking us is the honorable way to protect our future. So however you reach those who are needing encouragement to stand, not sit, go for it. History has a long, excellent memory.
FYI - A large number of protestors were born waayyyy before Netflix existed. So, no, “we” didn’t grow up on Netflix. We grew up on the likes of Leave it to Beaver, Star Trek, I Love Lucy and… The Twilight Zone, the latter of which, for us, is reminiscent of 2025 America.
Let’s make 2026 the year of resistance, the likes of which no one has ever seen before.
Washington Post headline:
ICE plans $100 million 'wartime recruitment' push targeting gun shows, military fans for hires.
An internal ICE document shared among immigration officials details plans to use influencers and geo-targeted ads to rapidly hire thousands of deportation officers.

What if people who think like us were to apply for those jobs?
