Army veteran 🇺🇸, very anti fascist. Kind of a whiskey snob and maker of awesome hand crafted hot sauce🌶️. I spend time in the garden 🌱 and tend to a small flock of chickens 🐓.

It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant.

I won’t give in to the lies. I won’t give in to the fear.

True on the population but about 1/2 of the states are run by fascists loyal to trump.
We’ll never get much lower than 33% as that is average number of people who are inclined to an authoritarian govt.
I hope non maga don’t forget about 2A.

Just more steps towards turning the country into two halves.

Instead of talking to MAGA or each other, focus on winning the hearts and minds of the unaware and undecided.

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?

How do we meet this moment?

Are the maga-shits nazis? 🤷‍♂️
Are they fascists, 100%.

You posted this many months ago and I’ve been sharing it ever since.
I’ll stand up for democracy, whatever that means. I hope others will too.
Let this be the guide.

You can only treat people like shit for so long until they decide they don’t want to take it anymore.

Fascists treat people like shit. It’s just who they are.

At least the constitution is still in play. For now.

They are the result one of the largest psy-op missions to be conducted.
That mission was to radicalize the right, dehumanize their perceived enemies, and annul the Constitution turning the country into a Christian nationalist dictatorship.

Pritzker needs to declare a state wide emergency and activate the IL guard and them protect protesters.
Let’s see where that goes.

When we lose our capacity to be outraged & shocked by the lawless, corrupt, dishonest, ignorant, cruel, un-American, fascist, & just plain horrible things Trump does every day, he wins. So stay outraged. Stay shocked. Don’t ever normalize him.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

You're Damn Right I'm Shocked

And you should be too. Or he wins.

Thanks. 🤘😎🤘

The divorce is imminent.

In January of 2015 ICE were not masked thugs in our streets body slamming people.
We want rule of law, applied to all. We don’t want “law and order” where we are told how to act and live. There is a difference.
