Can we limit speaking times, get a focused agenda comprised of directly impacted people across 1-3 big issues, and actually march next time?

I want to hear less from paid staff/organizers and more from people whose families have been torn apart by ICE.

Also maybe try finding out why eligible voters aren’t eligible voters aren’t participating and try to mobilize them through the art of persuasion. The gap between Trump’s approval among all us adults and the 2024 electorate is rather large. But they don’t pay me the big bucks to lose elections!

gotta wonder how long it is before SCOTUS just stops issuing majority opinions altogether. Their docket is already quite full and stopping the entire federal circuit court system from meaningfully constraining the power of a Republican President is hard work!

because guardrails and institutions protect low-info voters from any meaningful consequences for putting a psycho in charge. Maybe democratic strat of helping Republicans delay implementation of republican policies until the dems take office isn't so smart?

Fascism is never full. It eats laws, neighbors, memory, until there’s nothing left but the chewing. It will never stop on its own—only when enough people say “no” together, loudly, stubbornly, even stupidly, refusing to be swallowed. Mass noncompliance is the only diet fascism can’t stomach.
