I just saw the demolition started on the east wing of the WH. That's hard to look at. How can the Trump regime justify not working with the democrats to end the shutdown, while he moves forward with a $250 million ballroom?

Especially if you're a hypocrite, and don't walk the talk.

And we outnumbered them so it doesn't matter what they can.And can't handle. They are clinging to the last vestiges of power.

30,000 protested!

Cindi @cdeby.bsky.social · 1d

Not one speaker ir elected official has suggested a return to democratic norms, in any of the 5 protests I have been to since March. What planet are you living on?

Well that's where you're mistaken. Yes it's about unity. We can't win without unifying for the better of everyone. What are you doing to resist???

Cindi @cdeby.bsky.social · 1d

I am surprised by that number. It doesn't seem to fit with the images we're seeing on videos. And how many deportations have there been?

Cindi @cdeby.bsky.social · 1d

It was a protest against dictatorship and for democracy, equality, the rule of law,due process,free speech, to protect our planet.....

But they are losing.

We definitely don't return to democratic norms. All those who are winning special elections are young progressive candidates.

And by electing progressive leaders which has to happen first.

TX has more democrats or independents then you would think. Protests are happening in every major city. We have 3 great democrats running for the US senate next year, so it is time to get rid of Cornyn.

Protesting with like minded people. Following spiritual leaders and astrologers who are explaining the quantum upgrade that the planet and everything on it is undergoing right now. The sunshine in Austin. My 2 wind chimes constantly singing to me. The best public radio station in the world, WXPN.

Cindi @cdeby.bsky.social · 1d

And building community, educating others, general strikes and voting for the right people to name a few more.

Cindi @cdeby.bsky.social · 1d

I haven't seen one counter protester in Austin and i've been to about 5 protests.

Of course, it was the radical right causing all the problems.

Of course they were the violent ones.

These are not ordinary times.

Cindi @cdeby.bsky.social · 1d

You'd be surprised. People are ready to end this regime.

I love the Austin sun even though i've had three squamus cell skin cancers since moving here. PA wasn't as cold and snowy as Ny but I don't miss winter. I do miss the beauty.
