Me too. And a lot of folks are working locally and building community to help us *survive* this at all. Moving resources to those most at risk, setting up infrastructure to replace what we’re losing. It’s terrifying.

The biggest in our history in fact. But protests only work when those in office care about the will of the people. They only work when those in office fear the next election. And I doubt we’ll be having any elections any time soon.

But as we’re learning, the safeguards in ANY country are only as good as the people charged with enforcing them. And so none of our checks and balances mean a damn thing now. But trust and believe, this CAN happen anywhere. And we’re trying to fight it, there are tons of protests everywhere,

Leanings. And then there’s the wankery of the Democratic Party, waiting until the last possible moment to force Biden out so they could shoehorn their hand-selected candidate in without voter input, which rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Don’t get me wrong, I voted for her (and will ALWAYS

Control what counts as “news” here, and on social media, trolls and foreign actors push misinformation designed to confuse, polarize, and radicalize people with inadequate access to quality news sources. The social media algorithms now mean people get very, very different news depending on their

By the votes of those who are incarcerated. There were also some profound voting “irregularities” where somehow, thousands of people in a lot of districts voted overwhelming democratic, and yet somehow every presidential vote went to Trump. Our major media is all owned by like three oligarchs who

Our “justice” system helps by disproportionately targeting people of color for incarceration and disenfranchisement, and then overwhelming puts them in private prisons in conservative districts, artificially inflating population in those districts to give them more power, which again is not offset

Do not be quiet in this moment.

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.
