From the BBC: Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.
Everyone show up for every protest and rally you can get to! We have to come out in force!
I was 17 years old and still in High School when I began demonstrating against the Viet Nam war. My boyfriend was a radical, and one year older than me. Our first date was an anti-war march in Westwood, followed by a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. The headliners were Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. I think Michael Douglas said a few words. I met Jane Fonda at a rally. She said I should work for her husband Tom Haydn. He had an organization called Campaign for Economic Democracy in Santa Monica. I saw Ron Kovic pulled out of his wheelchair and beat up by the LAPD. Later I arranged for him to speak at my High School, but he wasn't allowed on campus. The reason I'm saying all of this: our current situation is WAY MORE dangerous, and we need as many people as possible to stand against this blatant attack on our democracy. Average people, celebrities, politicians, WHOEVER we are, we must FIGHT BACK.
Wish more people in carson city nv would do this. I'm Democrat and so is my roommate, I'm partially disabled and live on social security I'm also almost 71 I want the USA to wake up and smell the damn coffee. This so called lunatic in office is ruining our great land and the stupid Republicans are letting him.
Yes, the rebellion is growing, thank you God and all who love life, freedom and diversity. There is, however, a good chance that millions of elders and disabled people will be homeless, foodless and lacking medical care within the next two months...unless the rebellion is ramped up. Russ Vought has come right out and said that a) seniors do not want, nor do we care about, social security and Medicare and will not miss it when it is shortly gone and b) anyone who complains about it is un-American and faking it to get money. Elon is expected to get the lions share of the fund because he is sad and needs the money. We, of course, do not need it according to Vought. It may be that my friends and I will be, effectively, disappeared, losing access to internet and food and heat and roofs over our heads. Good thing I am old. If this goes on it will means many deaths. In Elons mind, this is simply getting rid of the weak and useless parasites.
Oh, I stand corrected. It was not Vought. It was someone named Ludnik or some such. Sorry about that. Of course, he and Vought are, essentially, the same person.
Lutnick said "if Social Security “didn’t send out their checks this month,” his “mother-in-law, who’s 94, she wouldn’t call and complain. She’d think something got messed up, and she’ll get it next month. A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling and complaining,”
Yeah.
Because everybody has a billionaire son in law who'll chip in if their SS check doesn't turn up.
And incidentally, why IS his MIL claiming SS? Personally, with access to THAT kind of wealth, I'd send it back, just to help the government out.
I wonder when they will declare that old people and the sick and disabled are criminals for existing and using up THEIR resources. What will the camps look like? How long before they start executing us for existing? After that, everyone will be criminalized. Imagine - anyone who is not a diehard MAGA will be a criminal, just because. I am not feeling really happy right now. This rebellion needs to go on steroids, else we may all be lost.
Yes Indeed it IS Glorious! 🙏Our people are standing and speaking out for justice! This is action for God’s grace to fill our hearts with wisdom, strength and courage. Collectively we will prevail in ending the overthrow of our government and restore the peace that humanity fundamentally deserves and wants. We truly CAN make a difference standing against evil!!
I'm fairly certain Jesus, God, Buddha, Mohammed, Krishna, Odin, Gaia, Isis and every other God with a sense of decency will be there, scattering blessings on all!

Something’s happening here and I’m just not exactly clear. There’s a man with a gun over there telling me I got to beware…

Sad and ironic that the song has become relevant again.
Isn’t that what happens when history is ignored, and attempts are made to erase it?!

Than you, Lord! You give me hope. a light. feels like i’m all alone in this evil battle. Keep on showing us the way !!!❤️🌹
Kudos to an unlikely duo carrying the flag for democracy. Well done AOC and Bernie!
To me, they've always been the MOST likely duo!

Rachel Maddow replayed that interview clip three times tonight. Absolutely chilling. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik.
Chilling that someone in his position has absolutely no grasp, none at all, of how the majority of Americans live.
You can't solve a problem until you realise there IS one. Stay poor, America - the billionaires are doing just fine. . .
Coward Nudnick?

This was Tempe, AZ, rally yesterday with Bernie and Alexandria. Full house and more just outside, I’m told. Let’s keep the pressure on!

Sounds like you're talking about eugenics...scary thought I hope never materalizes
