Feeling goosebumps and inspiration reading this! A movement that’s decentralized, grassroots, quick-acting and, of course, focused on helping the most vulnerable, is exactly what we’re doing right now. And, I happen to have a Danish flag flying today 🇩🇰💪
I never knew this story. Yes I have acted to stand up to racist acts to a college professor when I was a freshman in a giant lecture hall. Not one other student supported me as I marched up to the stage to denounce the professor. I was poor, tiny , shy 18 year old girl. The older, very large professor screamed in my face, said he would fail me and threw me out of class. I went to the Dean who did nothing. I went to the local newspaper who told my story. The professor was forced to resign. I am white. The group he was maligning were Mexican women. I knew his words of hate were immoral. Although I was nervous, I spoke out.
Knowledge may be Power but unless that Power acts, apathy sets in. American apathy fueled by Fear is our number one enemy. And That is exactly the result this Administration has planned on. Kidnapping, bombing with no reason, avoiding the Law, covering up rich Pedophiles, scourging government departments, stealing taxpayer dollars, pocketing government contracts, enriching the rich, monopolizing the Media, building Concentration Camps—where have WE United stood against this fearlessly or even ignoring the fear, with Courage? If it’s true that the Best Defense is a Good Offense—we have failed horribly. Remember when we were kids and we were told to hold hands, look both ways then cross the street? It’s time to hold hands again and cross the street.
Yes, working against odds to get a racist police lieutenant out of active duty on our local force with others who were like minded, against the officials in town and popular opinion and despite them all trying to sweep it under the rug to ignore it, ultimately running and getting others to run for town meeting able to weigh in on town issues and override town officials as well as supporting vulnerable communities. Am also doing anti immigrant work now. What motivates me is having had part of my family perish at Auschwitz and having French friends whose parents endured the Nazis.
Once again ignorance and arrogance has placed America at war. Or, wait, not a war, an excursion, so we have another example of the stupidity Trump so actively displays. Can it continue to become worse? Yes, folks, daily. Well on the 28th of March millions of us are defending our freedoms, refusing to kneel to dictatorship, just as citizens did two hundred and fifty years ago. To the world, all of America is not MAGA, we are not oligarchs bent on destroying democracy. We know friendship requires cooperation, not coersion. We ask for you to join us in our defiance to Trump and all he represents. Don't humor him, acquiese to his demands, and expect him to be honest and honorable. He will betray you just as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow. He has a life long record as evidence.
FYI: Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) 2026 is Monday, Nov. 2 -- the day before election day. Maybe we should think about a protest on Nov. 1 or 2 commemorating all who have died at the hands of ICE. It is the season of remembrance: All Saints' Day, All Souls' Day, Samhain, Dia de Los Muertos, and later in the month Veterans' Day / Armistice Day.
Here's an idea: a procession along a major street in each town with each participant holding a placard showing the name and picture of one victim of ICE or another death caused by the policies of this administration followed by a candlelight vigil. Each placard would have the name of the victim and an appropriate caption such as "murdered by ICE".
Trump warns he left instructions to ‘obliterate’ Iran if he is assassinated.
From The Hill, 02/24/25
“When questioned about Iran and proxies threatening to assassinate him, Trump said the U.S. adversary would be destroyed if that were to happen.
“They haven’t done that and that would be a terrible thing for them to do. Not because of me— if they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end. I’ve left instructions, if they do it, they get obliterated, there won’t be anything left. And, they shouldn’t be able to do it,” the president said.
The Justice Department in November revealed an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Trump during his campaign for the White House this fall. An unsealed criminal complaint revealed that Farhad Shakeri, 51, who is charged with murder-for-hire, allegedly told FBI agents an Iranian official tasked him with focusing on assassinating Trump.”
From The Peaceful Solution
So His Royal Heinous wages war on Iran as part of his Revenge Tour, using the U.S. military as his own private army, killing thousands of innocent people, including our own soldiers, with the American public footing the bill.
All to satisfy his fragile ego. He is so pathetic, as are we, for allowing him to continue his atrocities.
We, the people, still have the power of the purse. No one can control our spending, or lack of spending. As all else fails, we can go on a spending strike until the business community stops supporting HRH and the politicians who enable him.
Brave, beautiful, righteous Danes. Now is the time to emulate their courage. We all, especially Congress (because they do hold the cards,) need to do G-d’s work. If we dig in we can make it happen. Embrace and practice the spirit of the Danes - fight MAGA Mike and pay honor to those souls who saved their fellow Jewish countrymen.

This is a remarkable part of our shared history that I had never known about!
Important record of collective resistance - thank you.
