We’re yelling and screaming and calling our senators and representatives until we’re literally filling their voicemails. We’re being dragged out of hearings. We’re protesting. We’re boycotting. We voted.
Or some of us are. The ones who see.
But it’s not enough. What else are we supposed to do?
So often between 2017-2020, I'd see people on social media asking "why isn't someone doing something about this"??? We all need to know who is empowered to take action instead of just shouting at the heavens.
The tea party was an astroturf 'organization,' w financial backers holding political power (monetized).
Occupy Wall Street was organic activism, receiving donations empathetically & doomed to failure. If OWS could have been monetized & had financial backers w actual political power, who can say?
It’s almost like we are frozen by our fear. But I think, in part, it is because we don’t have a leader who will take the risks to lead us out of this. I keep asking “what can I do?” I’m a 72 y/o retired cat lady. I’m doing what I can w my limited resources. We need voices to counter the lies.
I live in CA and my Senators and Rep are already on it. Unless you can call to other states but I don’t think they give a flying F what someone from CA thinks. I remember calling when T got elected the first time—I just sobbed. I was so upset I could hardly talk.
When the fight takes to the streets, when politicians finally realize they can no longer pretend that this is just another swing of the political pendulum, when anti-opposition forces are rolling through major cities and towns, when opponents are banned, leaders jailed, will people finally wake up?
Only if we win, if we don’t, the history, books are not going to say anything about it. Certainly, I’m only learned about the Tulsa massacre in the last few years. It’s never been in one of my history books so remember history is written by the winners.
And we will have to explain that there were no checks in potus and scotus other than honor, which ceased being currency in politics decades before Trump.
Excatly..what are we actually doing..we had better get our act together..find leadership and take to the streets...talk..BS and fun and games are over..shock and awe..we are capable as well....
The time is NOW..
FIGHT OR FALL.....................
I remind my students that Martin Luther King Jr.'s fight for civil rights isn't ancient history. Ruby Bridges is 8 years older than me. Then they are shocked. Not sure if it is because i'm THAT old or it was THAT recent. I'll take either.
Had a great convo with Mom (b.1926) regarding what she heard as a teen around the Holocaust as it unfolded in her real time-surprised by how accepted the "rumors" of what was happening in Europe were. No longer surprised. Now understand how it all played out. As a Canadian, I am sadly looking South.

So much time, money and effort lost. When all of that, could have been applied to acquiring actual political power & widespread personal wealth.
Occupy Wall Street was organic activism, receiving donations empathetically & doomed to failure. If OWS could have been monetized & had financial backers w actual political power, who can say?
I feel like if they had leveraged that energy into acquiring some political power themselves, they would have gotten some actual results.
But who knows
So the dictatorship begins
"The incoming Trump administration is planning a large-scale immigration raid in Chicago next week"
We need a national strike IMHO
Nothing short of the complete undermining of the top's source of power and control will beckon change
The time is NOW..
FIGHT OR FALL.....................
He handed off the football and nobody knows what to do
