Today's podcast with @aaronthequill.bsky.social is going to be focused on rebutting common MAGA talking points.

Join us at 4 pm CST on the Tube of you by searching for our podcast name. :)

I posted this 11/6. True then, true now.

I am hopeful. I have hope. I CHOOSE hope.

I will NOT give in to hate & fear; let pseudo-Christians bully the vulnerable; acquiesce to this administration or apologize for being 'woke'.

I will NOT lie down, go quietly, or be silenced.

RESIST.

It was because of due process that trump was able to run for president. Without it, he would have simply been arrested and shipped off to prison.

I am hopeful. I CHOOSE hope.

Compassion fatigue is real; we've been inundated w/ chaos, confusion, and one manufactured crisis after another.

Rest & RESIST. Engage w/orgs that make it easier to pursue Hopeful Resistance.

I am extraordinarily proud to be part of the "Panican" party.

It's neither weak nor stupid to panic when the house you're in is burning to the ground.

I will proudly wear "Panican" and "Woke" as labels that identify me as a critically-thinking, constitutionally endorsing, America-loving patriot.

"A democracy is based on trust; a dictatorship is based on fear."

Resistance can feel overwhelming.

LET ME HELP YOU reframe that mindset with three words:

RESIST --- REACH OUT --- RENEW

Every day, do ONE thing to resist, ONE thing to reach out to your community and ONE thing to renew yourself.

@resist.bot @5calls.org @goodsuniteus.bsky.social

"Do your Best!" It's a temptation to compare our best with someone else's best.

Don't do it. Right now, make a commitment to do your best IN THE MOMENT YOU'RE IN.

Not the best you've ever done.

Not the best you'd like to do.

The best you can do in the moment you're in.

That's enough.

This short vid is my response to those who say that resistance doesn't matter, or that's it's not enough.

My friends, it all matters.
@50501movement.bsky.social protests matter.
@5calls.org phone calls matter. @resist.bot matters.

We are fighting for democracy, and it's a worthy fight.

A friend asked if I was worried I might get in trouble for speaking out against the current administration.

The fact that I was asked such a question is proof that we must.

We are not alone. There are 75+ M of us working together to save democracy. And more every day.

Don't lose heart or give up.

There's good in this world, & it's worth fighting for.

"When we fight, we win."

@5calls.org @resist.bot

Follow @ariellaelm.bsky.social for daily wins.

We can do this.

It's nearly midnight where I'm at, yet I'm excited about the project that my son @aaronthequill.bsky.social and I are doing to push out #hopefulresistance.

We'd be grateful if our fellow blue dots would take a minute and visit our p0d cast page on Y0u tube.

Your support is most appreciated. Xoxo

It is no secret that spiritually bereft and emotionally immature people confuse bullying with strength. Willful is not powerful.

It's bad enough to see it in children, it's heartbreaking to see it in adults, and it's devastating to see it in the leaders of our country.
