Why are the former presidents silent? Why is Kamala silent? If someone wants to be the candidate for 28, they need to jump out now. Newsome has blown his chance with the Kirk interview.

This is what I tell my friends that aren’t contacting their senators and congress members. I can’t do much but I can use my voice and carry a sign at a protest!
Let's join our voices and shake the whole country! https://Generalstrikeus.com Sign on with the nearly 300k who have already committed to fighting for OUR working class! WE are the economy! WE are the builders! WE are the COUNTRY! WE save US!
Agreed.
Tired of hearing so many people say they won’t say or do something because it will fail, because the reaction from others is unpleasant, because… Doesn’t matter. Decide and stand.
How often have we heard words of ENCOURAGEMENT, DISSENT, RESISTANCE, and hoped it would hang in some
minds to be analyzed, scrutinized, admired, doubted. It is a voice that could go from one lone sound to a powerful chorus
This post gives me a reason to keep on. When my Dem rep in Congress was 1 of 10 Dems to censure Al Green, I felt defeated. I had donated, worked on her campaign & consistently called her office before she betrayed Green. When I realized she was a DINO, barely serving my interest, I almost gave up.
This 💯. I would add that one of the joys of growing older is not giving a sh*t about the obstacles the other side tries to throw in your way. Just speak your truth - it will stand on its own merits.
We reach no one with silence. I heard you. 😊 I was reached. Go sign the strike card! https://Generalstrikeus.com I'm not staying silent either. We are currently underreacting to our house being on fire. WE are the fire dept. WE are the heros we're waiting for. 💪
Republicans have this tactic of pretending not to understand something very simply to draw us into explaining and explaining. It's intended to frustrate & exhaust us. Refusing to accept their version of reality frustrates them too. They want to bully people into submission.
Anne Lamott on A.J. Muste who, during the Vietnam War, stood in front of the WH night after night for years holding a lit candle.
One rainy night, a reporter asked him, "Do you really think you are going to change the policies of this country by standing out here alone at night with a candle?”
Fellow Americans! Marjorie Taylor Green refused to come to a town hall to explain why she's enabling Trump to destroy America and help Putin. What is she afraid of? #Accountability
I just wrote to my sister expressing my empathy. For years I’ve wanted to speak my mind to her about trump. I’m finally in a place where i can reach out with compassion for her and the entire country. Whether maga can understand completely yet, I don’t know.
Yes, I think we need to say this over and over since so many people are demoralized and feel like calling their reps who are swimming in the MAGA Kool-Aid is a waste of time.
In GER we tend to say it’s only for the afterworld seeing there was reason and dignity in some of us left. And some thought then, it even was worth giving your life for. Hope it will not come that far
Yes. My Rep is B6. I have called and left messages. I know it won't change her mind. I know her staff will probably laugh at me. I know I have to remain civil when I leave my message, because I would be arrested if I said what I really was thinking. I try to find the strength to continue to call.
It's not enough to just call out how the opposite side wrong. You must ridicule, demean, cat call, boo. The winning bully has his admirers. The bully made to look like a fool loses friends.

It should be crystal clear to all, that Trump's traitorous deception and betrayal of The People will result in the fall of this nation. His motivation is one of greed and corruption. He has allowed a Nazi to buy his election and dismantle our Democratic and financial system. We must rise up!
Yes..but we need action. We need to eradicate all evil in the world. That means Maggots must be eliminated! Not merely beaten at the polls. Taken off the face of the Earth. Forever.. they would do it to us..
I feel this one in my bone. Family members mock my decision to boycott Target and Amazon given one person won't make a difference. I repeatedly explain, it's not just about the companies. It's about me taking back my personal power.
But it's not just about one person. It's about one person, joined by another, and another, until millions have joined. Then change begins. If not me, them who? I ask myself that question a lot.
EXACTLY! But when I feel like nothing matters, it still matters to me. It helps to be a part of what we are doing collectively because I know we WILL force change.
Integrity is doing what matters even when nobody is watching.
That's why we boycott, even when we are only 1 person.
Our family hasn't supported Amazon in years. #VoteWithYourWallet
Americans are the new Russians. Acting like innocent bystanders. So speak up Americans, speak up louder !! Scream and scream louder!!!
Don’t be a Russian.
This is where I’m at. I’ve had to listen to MAGA bullshit for a decade. I’ve been polite, I’ve been patient. No more. It’s coming back at you but much harder. I’ve been charging interest. I can’t wait to find a MAGA POS. It’ll be fun.
For me it used to be option 3, speak because if you don't you allow the opposing side to present themselves to onlookers as the default, as an unopposed majority, and that's probably the most effective propaganda tactic there is... But I like this too.
The same thing with acting, and Americans must act now, in order to stop Trump and the rest from ruining your country and my neighbour’s. This includes Dems, and if an insurrection is needed, so be it. Hopefully, Friday will be a big news day, with the good ones making the news.
Also, they will use your silence against you, and treat it as acquiescence, particularly if you have any authority, i.e., “they must be onboard because they didn’t say anything.”
Always be ready to provide the truth. What they do with it is up to them. Nobody can chance someone else's mind overnight. Many of these people who bought into lies did it over years and need to realize what they've been doing - they can only come to that realization themselves.
Many are still operating under the old paradigm of democracy. However, there has been a shift to the authoritarian regime under which we are already suffering. Who is leading?
We can draw inspiration from those who used to look up to America, but now understand they must take matters into their own hands.
Now it’s up to us to be inspired by our past sacrifices, or as our former allies are saying, it’ll be too late.
Pacifist movement in the West was created by the KGB in 1970s, when Soviet Russia leadership secretly concluded that the USSR cannot win militarily or economically.
A world without weapons, armies or wars is a utopia stocked by wannabe conquerors / genociders.
We need upstanders not bystanders in the world. Speak up. Use your privilege (if you have it) to speak up. Be brave. Your voice will only be diminished over time by your administration.

This is what I got in reply.
Sadly, there were 2 others with a similar reply.
Period.

At least they will have something nice to say in my obituary.

No matter how you divide it, if one part sinks, the other parts are not far behind.
Bail, people. Like your life depends on it.

The visual (mine of a flapping sea lion) is spot on.

Thanks for this, helps get their mung off of me.

"It doesn't change God. It changes me."
Seems a wise viewpoint.
(Part of the reason Black women are reliable anti-authoritarian voters though)

Thank you.
