In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

A little goes a long way. I support the free press and so should everyone else who is able. Fight back any way you can. Stay joyful everyone. 💙

I’m pulling back from spending in 2025, the state of our nation is to chaotic. Also not spending at any fascist supporting organizations if I can help it. Shopping local, thrifting, and keeping spirits high to battle against this threat to our democracy. Appose Chump at every opportunity.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.

You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.

Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten
