What’s happening? a coup and/or a revolution. If we don’t adequately respond, it will be a successful coup. If we respond adequately, it will be a revolution.

We can do many things to stop the destruction of our nation. They must witness that we will gain control by ANY means necessary.

We’ve never been so far up shit creek (maybe the last civil war?) We’re so inexperienced dealing with a coup, we have no idea what to do next. Our jaws drop from the shock of the criminal acts we are witnessing. What we have to do now is way outside our comfort zones. We’ll act while afraid.

You idiot.

When war-mongering dictators take over any nation and people, they take the exact actions musk and his lackey are taking. These are acts of war. We have been invaded and we are at war, but only the invaders have taken up arms.

On Tyranny is my favorite. I’m reading Snyder’s book “On Freedom” now.

Senators Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott you are now proven cowards. We always thought so but your votes tonight to sell out our military to a white nationalist, alcoholic, sex abuser, seals it. May you hang your heads in shame as our men and women will be required to stand up to unlawful orders.

Hegseth’s nomination puts the lives of so many U.S. citizens at risk. His actions can kill our service personnel and I’m afraid his actions can kill peaceful demonstrators and so many of the rest of us. He has a history of violence as a civilian.

I can’t say my next thought.

Mississippi politician files ‘Contraception Begins at Erection Act’ "People can get up in arms and call it absurd but I can’t say that bothers me.”

A Mississippi state senator has filed a bill called the “Contraception Begins at Erection Act,” which would make it “unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo”

I’m old, sick and reducing my focus of resistance:

-Take care of family & family of choice;
Support LGBTQIA2S+; support freedom/equality,
/reproductive freedom for all females; support Ukraine; Fight racism; fund legal actions against trump.

If you are willing to say, where are you focusing?

Good morning, comrades! It’s a bright sunny day in musklandia—if you’re a white hetero male with money who’s certain that you deserve more than most!

Responding to a comment about 47 breaking his promise about ending the war in Ukraine on Day 1, Asa
Hutchinson gave his vague Arkansas version of “That’s just trump being trump.”

Translated into English: “My breath smells like trump butt.”

When 47 commuted/pardoned 1000 J6 terrorists he sent the message: “Make certain that there is no 2028 election and you won’t face any consequences.”

“We haven't learned how to be just, honest, kind and true and loving. And that is the basis of our problem. The real problem is that through our scientific genius we've made of the world a neighborhood, but through our moral and spiritual genius we've failed to make of it a brotherhood.”

If you had any hopes that the lies would stop on Jan 20, those hopes have been dashed already. At least he’s consistent.

In honor of Dr King, John Lewis, and women’s freedom of choice, I’m out creating good trouble by buying all the Plan B I can get in case it gets banned today. If you need it, you know where to find me and it will be no cost to you.

No, musk, it won’t be awesome to have “American” astronauts planting the U.S. flag on another planet for the first time. I admit that the conversation is a fabulous smokescreen for your plundering of all people.

“Awesome” is freedom, equality, and humane treatment for all.

Stopping them is an enormous call to duty so late in my life! At a moment when I want to rest, hold my friends, and discover beauty around the next curve, my internal defender of freedom and equality is sighing and suiting up.

I’m not complaining, but I’m so close to crying for us all.

I’m nauseated and ready to take every action I can and spend every dollar I can to render this administration useless for the next four years.

“Oh America, how often have you taken necessities from the masses to give luxuries to the classes. If you are to be a truly Christian nation you must solve this problem…You can work within the framework of democracy to bring about a better distribution of wealth.“

It couldn’t hurt: if you can get your hands on cash today, get it (ideally a lot of it and make certain you get $20s, $10s, $5s. If you can go buy groceries, stockpile some food. If I’m wrong, you’ll have a little pile of money and food.

I think the ban’s a smokescreen for what tik tok will be once restarted & ownership is switched to US oligarchs, or gets nationalized or 50/50 of both. If China gets paid for it, what will be used as the payment currency? Taiwan? US national security secrets? China influence on US policy decisions?
