😂 As the U.S. slaps outrageous tariffs on the whole world & threatens to invade all democratic nations.

They're seeing a takeover of all media by a brutal regime & are goin' old school to evade the machine.

There's really nothing peaceful about fallen democracies. As the world has seen in the States, peaceful resistance is met with brutal violence. Americans need to ask themselves if they're willing to die for their freedoms and/or others' freedoms or if they're willing to go along to get along.

There are hard questions we need to ask ourselves right now. But no matter what this administration is planning, we know who we are—we love democracy & plan to fight (peacefully) for it. In a moment where knowledge is power, here is what you need to know. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Are We the Nazis Now?

Thoroughly expecting armed U.S. paratroopers to rain down on lawns, busting down doors & spraying bullets into sleepy neighborhood homes. Oh wait - they kinda are doing that in Chicago. I guess drone strikes are next.

I have a faux acct just for Marketplace - the few times I scrolled through my home feed was nauseating. Last I saw, every NFL quarterback (story tailored to IP location) supposedly had stepped up to the plate to financially support Charlie Kirk's kids for the rest of their lives. 😂

Sail off into the sunset, with no land in sight, total reliance on wind, sun & water, conversing with marine life (especially dolphins & octopuses), feeling absolute freedom exactly 12 nautical miles for any shoreline in the world - how I wish it was infinitely sustainable in the modern world.

So an ambush. All the more reason for medics to stay away.

If they’re threatening lives of medics, they won’t go in until area has been cleared of mortal threats. U.S. armed forces & protesters alike could be left for dead.

OK - then they are refusing medical care for their own, too.

Wouldn’t count on having a congressional body as part of their regime structure.
