Absolutely! But it looks like we have to again, and for our ancestors who fought and died for what we have lost and are still losing.

Consider an Empty Chair Town Hall if your congress-critter isn't holding them. Advertise. Invite the Media. We did this in 2017. #resist

& what about all the data & systems created & professional staff who knew how to use it for the benefit of the public? How many DECADES of our TAXES paid to build up systems, repositories of knowledge that MUSK DESTROYED? How many people went to school for years, got specific work experience & 🗑️?

Maybe not in recent American, but our government is controlled by a Nazi government, who isn’t shy about extortion and violence.

But in the world we're living in, it is an act of bravery.

💯 THIS. I am old and my joints hurt. Irritated to have to do this again, and I'm only GenX (ie I only came in for the tail end of the fights).

Whoever tells you that's it's not is a liar.

It’s an act of outrage. It’s absolutely outrageous that I have to go into battle for the grandchildren I should be telling stories of previous battles they would believe were greatly exaggerated. Now they think I didn’t finish the job, I left too many embers of hatred smoldering, not smothered.

Exactly. I always wondered why I got more militant with age, when I thought all old people were conservative.

It’s yet another euphemism to protect the fragile sensibilities of the cowards who are determined to be collaborators.

Glad to find you here, Randy.
I still owe you that book.
Can you email me your address?

It’s time to make a stand and draw a line

It is in fact an act of cowardice to give it up for the wrong reason

Really? Ask a woman that needs an abortion. We must continue fighting for all of our rights. Trans rights, women’s rights, black rights, children’s rights, et al.

It should be considered an act of craven, cowardly treason to take away what we already fought for.
