Look up Elon Musk favors Drone Swarms-ABC News says they are not from a foreign actor. F*ck ABC - Never watch again. They ARE from a foreign actor. Elon Musk. They are hovering over Democratic states. Governors are Democrats. Trump wants all states to be Republican controlled states.

He’s a lame duck President surrounded by the same snarling pack of perverts, creeps and liars. His only goal is to get more money for the super-rich. All these threats and outlandish statements are just fodder for the media and the keyboard warriors.

Good survival list. Especially this: "Plan... We need a 30-year road map..."

In 1971, the Lewis Powell Memo laid out a plan for Big Business to dominate democracy. It was successful.

The pendulum needs to swing back, and ordinary Americans need a plan!

Call the Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121) every day and ask:

Why isn’t my Senator/Representative calling to impeach?

You swore to defend the Constitution.

We got a dictator problem.

The concentration camps are here.

Shout “Impeach!”
All together.
Every day.

Substack.... Oh the irony of Michael Moore funding Nazis...

I prefer a rope and a sturdy oak.
Americans survive this by standing up.
We do not have to tolerate a coup in our country.

Glad you found me! I saw your handle & went to follow you & then saw you were already following me. It’s good to see family over here!

Big truth we need to hold onto is:

Our government creates our currency when Congress votes to pay for something

It can always afford to pay for anything denominated in dollars

heavydrinking.bsky.social•104 days ago

The democrats held onto truth, norms and see how that turned out.

elizabethrivian.bsky.social•30 days ago

This is excellent advice.

I would change "don't obey in advance" to "don't obey". If what they're doing is wrong, immoral, illegal (for now) fight back if you can. Saying we won't obey in advance is saying we will eventually obey, and if we do that we are done. "We" are in the right, morally, no matter what they do.

Rightwing oligarchs like Musk & Murdoch used their obscene wealth to buy politicians & judges, and consolidated their power by acquiring news & social media to spread lies, fake news and dictate every aspect of our public, political & social messaging.

Strike and boycott. Boycott everything; some exceptions: ethical, POC-owned, local. Many are spontaneously doing it. We need to save our money for the coming catastrophes, anyway. See my feed for more info.

Thanks for sharing this! I’m a professor who studies and cares deeply about democracy, and a longtime mindfulness teacher—it’s nice to connect! I followed you, feel free to follow back if you’d like to stay connected. Take good care!

letatcestmoi.bsky.social•49 days ago

We all need mindfulness now. This fight we’re in is taxing to the spirit. Finding calm is essential to staying in the fight.

jeremydavidengels.bsky.social•49 days ago

Well said my friend. My new book on mindfulness and democracy will be published by Thich Nhat Hanh’s press in February, hopefully it will help! Take good care, and thanks for all your good work here on Bluesky. Cheers!
