My millennial kids, live in a red state, asked what they can do to resist short of protesting. The fear is palpable. The regime is trying to scare them all into silence. We MUST show up.
They agreed to drive by, honking & waving support. My hope is seeing peaceful protests will give them courage

The man @jollygoodginger.bsky.social is currently in Chicago. He's working with Pilsen defence & Access patrolling schools to try snd prevent ICE from kidnapping parents and children. Not all heros wear capes but anyone protecting kids is a hero in my book.

Our tax dollars are not going to FEMA, USAID, Public Broadcasting, Healthcare, Food benefits or public safety & Justice. Our tax money is going into his regime’s pockets

The era of logic and reason has passed into one of virulent greed that breeds hate & distrust

I hope we will return to a more symbiotic relationship with those of opposing views. Where the greater, common, good, is the goal

These are the criminally complicit along with all those the regime inflicted on us. Every single person in this regime needs to be tried and jailed. Due process for all. Even the evil

Cockwomble is seriously demented. He can’t keep track of time or place, imaginary escalator gremlins attacking him, he has gone into full paranoia mode as do those with dementia. Why is nobody calling out for an independent exam?

When the orange shit-gibbon speaks about ANTIFA, he's speaking about me. I am ANTIFA. So are all of my brothers and sisters who served. More importantly, so are YOU. You are ANTIFA. Stay strong. Resist.

This is the fascist Regime's new propaganda campaign, ala Nazi Goebelles/Schmitt. 24/7. Miller/Noem/Vought all using same language, the 'antifa war-torn ravished cities,' bullsh*t. Big lies over &over on march to plenary authority, Insurrection Act, Martial Law. Dems can't get on top of it.

There is strong evidence that Qatar supports and works with Hamas politically, diplomatically, and financially.

The Trump Organization has entered into a deal in Qatar.

Qatar has increased lobbying expenditures in the U.S. and sought to influence the U.S. policy.

What are we doing here folks?

We have a system in place to enact Medicare for all. Those who want to buy private, can. Just as they do in Europe. Between the current Medicare, Medicaid, Federal coverage & Tri-care (Vets), a large swath of the country is covered. Why not cover all able-bodied Americans as well?

I urge women to stock up on pregnancy tests
Plan B
Contraceptives
Menstrual cup or other multi use products
OTC of whatever works for any reproductive organ issue
Establish if your PCP is a scientist healer or regime doc

I skimmed through large parts of Project 2025 they plan on tracking periods

This seems ominous. Trump just appointed Josh Craddock—who recently signed a letter urging the DOJ to use the Comstock Act to curtail the distribution of abortion pills—to serve as Deputy Assistant AG in the OLC at the DOJ. 1/

Trump’s political instincts have been eroding for years. As he has aged and become increasingly unaccountable to the voters, his second term in office has been a complete exercise in self-service.
