What chance do we have? The question is what choice? Run, hide, plead for mercy, scatter your forces. You give way to an enemy this evil with this much power and you condemn the galaxy to an eternity of submission. The time to fight is now!
Every moment you waste is another step closer to the ashes of Jedha.
They have no idea we're coming. They have no reason to expect us. If we can make it to the ground, we'll take the next chance. And the next. On and on until we win... or the chances are spent.
“Hope knows that unless we physically defy government control we are complicit in the violence of the state. All who resist keep hope alive. All who succumb to fear, despair and apathy become enemies of hope.”
Hope is the most powerful force there is. Stronger than love even. Hope is so powerful that so long as a single solitary being keeps the flame alive it can always be kindled and spread to others infinitely.
As they say, all the darkness of the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.
And finished by force.
Once a dictator gets a taste for unlimited power, the only thing to stop it is brute force.
If you're squeamish about that, please just keep it to yourself. Don't destroy hope.
Take care of one another. Improve our quality of life. Create a shared economy of fairness. Educate and feed kids. Protect our human rights and our dignity. Nothing is more patriotic. We accept the grace we are given for our role in this task. Steadfast and sturdy is our duty to defy traitors.
It was just one extremist feminist trying to ram her beliefs down our throats when there should have been a balance. There's a reason why no one wants to work with Lesyle Headland these days.
Amandla Stenberg calling the entire fandom "racists" with a shitty music video didn't help either.
This video came out some months ago, but i think it fell through the cracks, because it only got 1K likes. This needs more attention. Evidence of collusion between church and state. Please share this, thank you ❤️🤍💙 https://youtu.be/PY_chqyaRHo
Remove him. If the majority of Americans don’t want him leading, then he’s already lost the job. Being president isn’t a right it’s a responsibility. He doesn’t just get to strut around for four years unchecked. He works for us, and if he’s failing, we have every right to fire his ass.
I’m putting this on myself in DEEP RED SARASOTA. Please join me. I will have cases of water and extra signs on hand. Plus I’ll throw in a super-fun dance party with #Resistance jams new and old.

I vote this song to lead the Revolution.
Aurora, the Seed,
"You cannot eat money, oh no
When the last tree has fallen
And the rivers are poisoned
You cannot eat money oh no"
Hope always!
And to everyone--do not comply in advance, do not allow them to overwhelm you, that is what they want.
Remember, every action matters.

I am finding rebellion also comes from having a stick poked at you too many times. The Fascist Nazi stuff makes me angry. I find these emotions get me moving. I stand with you guys. I love National Parks.
We are with you & there is absolutely hope. We will smash these cowards & properly build back our republic. We the people!
Thank you for your endless courage & commitment Alt National Park Service ✊
No they r build on REALITY. From people that don't take it anymore. Everybody has a barrier where they get triggered so hard, they have to do something with it.
But,.. the brain is not so smart itself. So when we write on the internet, the brain gives the same sensations. You ventilated your mind.
Hope is when your not sure of the outcome. and hope it will turn that way somehow. We r WAY past that point in time, is my guess.
A revolution starts when the people r angry for a long time already!
Fight the 1%, unite red and blue, and after that, we can fight each other. but will we then?
Rebellions are built on indignation and courage.
It is people with nothing left to lose but more than willing to drag down the ones who took it all away from them.
If Felon 47’s weaponization of the justice department against attorneys is a crisis worthy of SCOTUS intervention. He is trying to deny Americans from legal representation & intimidate attorneys so they won’t accept cases. All bar associations should come out strongly against this & petition Scotus.
We need a secure way to determine how many people are against Trump & GOP. I don’t trust the last election. We saw record new voter registrations from young people & record turnout overall. Early reporting projected dems ahead & the down vote ballots don’t match the presidential.
I don't know much about community organizing, but respect those who do. Chris Jones advised us at the NWA Townhall to "find your tribe, those with whom you share similar values and goals. Support one another. Move forward."
Hope, if you ever lose it, should be the last thing to go. The fight for our rights and the survival of our democracy is just getting started! Let’s go! 💪
Translated: When we hold onto hope, believing change is possible, change really is possible. It means we haven't accepted a tragic version of reality or capitulated to it in despair.
Authoritarians rely on people caving or buying into a fabricated reality of their power.
Some strategies they might use include propaganda (you don’t know what is true anymore), divide and conquer (play groups against each other), indifference ( trust that nobody cares enough). Do not let the rot spread too far.
I feel like Caroline Dweck’s book “Mindset” might be useful. tldr: I can believe that all my skills are immutable and fixed or I can believe that I can grow & change them. There’s consequence to each belief. Choosing growth has better outcomes.
It’s a tricky balance. We have to see what’s actually going on and understand it. We can’t let that feed into the oppressor’s narrative. They don’t have the control they think they have but they do have enough to do a great deal of damage.
Hug! It's a rough time. But you're right: someone will get through it. (I hope it's you too!)
Trumpism has hurt so many people, its downfall is built in. He can't fire countless federal employees, destroy families, deny people rights, and impose heartache on a whole planet without it boomeranging.
All comedians know that humor has an element of violence or hurt. They skate up to the edge of a painful truth, but make us laugh instead of cry or run out of the room. Humor keeps us from collapsing under the weight of bitter truth. We stay mentally in control even when hit in the face with a pan.
Humor is survival. In my cancer support group there is a lot of humor. In eastern Europe, there was a lot of humor. I agree with you. Humor is powerful and it’s important.

And maybe burning teslas.
But what does Crane Brinton know?

Trump is throwing a full-size tantrum on X about this portrait in #Colorado.
But even better in 2018, Rs couldn't raise enough money so a prankster put a Putin photo up in place of Trump 🤣

Do or Do Not. Thank you ALT NPS for DOING. You could be our "New Hope". 😊
Makes me think of the open letter I wrote the day after the Inauguration

The same problem the Russians have, but for different reasons.

I’ve seen Andor 3x and can’t wait for season 2.
Also hoping the General Strike is big enough and long enough to dislodge this “old”garchy.
Rumors says he's gonna take the reins once Kennedy retires at the end of this year.
Manny Jacinto was an enjoyable actor in the show. I like the mercurial character he plays.

rise and resist
and give it your all

Everyone is rolling over. And if a rebellion ever occurs. I will just be a sacrifice for the greater good. The billionaires.
As a gay Native American... I am a natural and expected sacrifice, always have been, always will be.
There is no hope
Not for me.

Which I actually thought was just sloppy writing, until this past election.
He’s dead, period.
You need to fuel action, and properly directed rage is a powerful fuel.

🤔 Hmmm... In this case! Maybe that's what "hope" is!
RESIST your hearts out!

I could learn from this.
I believe in us. The outcomes are better.
Here, I often paint a dark picture of reality to show what's going on in the world, but always believe in our ability to turn it around.
I certainly hope I’m there, everyone I care about is there, people I don’t even know and care about are there.
Someone will be there, this administration will end
We do it for us, but not only for us. We do it for them. We do it because we believe in other people, and in ideas bigger than ourselves.
