#BeTheOpposition #SaveDemocracy
06Nov2024: I lost a lot of my faith that day. My determination to keep on being me, to stay active, to fight the tide of fascism that threatens to ruin us, is strong. To always stand on the side where love, kindness, equality, and acceptance mean more than greed.

I cry sometimes when I look at the news
hear all the lies and wonder what's the use?
It's a little familiar
I see the whole world goose-stepping up in line
Behind a sexual-abusing pathological liar and I
Scream from the top of my lungs what's going on?
What's Up America?

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Yes, I will die on this hill if it saves democracy for future generations. I'm old, I've lived, I had rights my granddaughter does not!
#NoFear means you don't let the fear paralyze or stop you from doing what you know is right and necessary.

exactly, is this the hill i'm willing to die on?
yes, yes it is.
I'm calling on the courage of Ghandhi, MLK, Sophie Scholl, Sylvia Rivera, Nelson Mandela, Ruby Bridges, and the countless others who said no to tyranny.
on Saturday I march with them

Too many coincidences
No camera's
Guards asleep
The guards asleep is the most damning
You expect me to believe that with a high profile prisoner?
C'mon man

Ah NPR, you continue to disappoint with fluff rather than acknowledge we’re heading into a fascist state - one in which, I dare say, an NPR won’t be allowed to exist in any state save one that kisses Trump’s ass

But do go on.

Still No Kings: Millions to Protest Trump On Saturday
A coalition of civil rights groups expects the turnout on Oct. 18 will be even bigger than the first nationwide protest held in June, which by some counts was the largest in U.S. history.

Talkin' colonizing Gaza from the White House lawn
But the people mobbin', and we ain't backin' off
Finally see the oligarchy and men that control us all
Tax breaks for the elite, and then they taxin' y'all
fucked up
