Even as we fight and try to stay positive, it's critical that we prepare for the worst. We don't have time for head-in-the-sand optimism.

Here are things that are already a reality, things they're attempting to do, and some crucial steps everyone must take NOW:

Fanny Cäcilie Mendelssohn Bartholdy (November 14, 1805) was a prolific composer, producing over 450 works, including Lieder (art songs), piano pieces, chamber music, four cantatas, an orchestral overture, a piano trio and quartet, among others.

Fanny Cäcilie Mendelssohn Bartholdy (November 14, 1805) was born in Hamburg, Germany. She was the eldest child in a culturally affluent family. From a young age, Fanny received thorough musical instruction—first at home, then from teachers such as Ludwig Berger and Carl Friedrich Zelter; her younger brother Felix Mendelssohn shared much of her education.

Fanny was a prolific composer, producing over 450 works, including Lieder (art songs), piano pieces, chamber music, four cantatas, an orchestral overture, a piano trio and quartet, among others. Despite her talent, much of her music remained unpublished in her lifetime, and societal norms often constrained her public role as a musician. At times, works by her were published under her brother’s name.

In 1829, Fanny married Wilhelm Hensel, a court painter. The marriage did not curb her musical output—she continued to compose and also hosted “Sunday concerts” (Sonntagsmusiken) at her home in Berlin, inviting friends, extended family and musical peers.

She died from a stroke on May 14, 1847 in Berlin; she was 41. Her brother Felix died less than six months later.
After her death, much of her music was either unpublished or wrongly attributed, but in recent decades there has been growing scholarship and performance of her work. In 2018, the Fanny & Felix Mendelssohn Museum opened in Hamburg to honor both siblings and their musical contributions.

PLEASE stop saying "we won't have elections".

That is fearmongering, and completely impossible. States run elections, and there's no mechanism for yam tits to "stop" them.

He may/will send troops/NG to intimidate, etc., but he cannot stop them from happening.

People are going to fight back one way or another. We can do it now while we still have power, or we can wait until we are utterly powerless and only have our lives to give.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

I've been Charlie Brown/football too often. As much as every cell in my body wants to believe there's a line, I simply won't until there is one.

Americans are now aware of J6, and won't be caught by surprise again.

And then *everyone* who goes to #NoKings must keep doing something besides an occasional rally.

This is the repression that we knew would come from Trump. We need everyone to attend #Nokings next Saturday to let the gov’t know we won’t back down

#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished.

THIS IS FASCISM. FILM EVERYTHING.

At least one of the 3 women in LA is still being held. Does anyone have any info about that? They wouldn't continue holding her to cover up injuries, now would they? Unknown who has what footage of the incident.
