Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.
So, I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own.

Where are YOU going to be on January 4th? Join us in Las Vegas at 2000 Fashion Show Drive, Las Vegas. Outside Trump Towers 2PM - 5PM Peacefully protesting Trump's legitimacy to hold office. Uphold the 14th Amendment.
Please share and attend; contacted police and local news.
Until you lost.
Democracy isn't magic. It's a choice humans make.
-- Joseph Goebbels
We must own the street. The Civil Rights and Anti War movements of the 60s and 70s got their strength from the street.
What can we do with this fact?
Vox Populi, Vox Dei.
We need to find a way.
Either way, though - we need to DEMAND it, and be loud and hard-hitting enough that we CAN'T be ignored!
Resist. We are 100s of millions. Congress will notice.
Keep this in mind as you do this.
I am not spending a second of my life worrying about what might be coming.
I will deal with it IF necessary.
I am fine living in ignorant bliss.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
I respect you stance. I wish you the of best luck with your journey.
We just stay on course and fight against evil that had infiltrated the office of the presidency among other offices in our government. We can't be complacent and turn away!
Win, lose, it's a game to them. Voctory or defeat they still have more than comfortable wealth, health, homes.
The only thing of theirs that gets inured is their pride, while the everyday people live in fear of losing everything up to and including their lives.
Their accomplishments will, sadly, evaporate in a year
So grateful for you! 💙💙💙💙🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Remember that most important 2nd part.
Hold on, and don't break rank.
Plan and Prepare.
It is as bad as it seems, actually worse people just refuse to see.
Per laws already written Trump should not have had any chance at a 2nd term.
Then the highest court granting king like powers.
It is a direct attach on our Constitutional Republic.
Turns my stomach
Yes, we are on our own.
But take heart and remember the pendulum principle. When it finishes swinging further to the right than it has ever swung…it will go flying back to the left in a way it never has before.
Hang in there until it swings back.
Commercial television had a major impact on manufacturing consensus in the last half of the 20th Century. That Era has ended, thanks to the world wide web.
Now we need to figure out how politics has changed. Is manufacturing consent possible?
& is hellbent on making America a theocracy. See wikipedia.
Dems are better, the lesser evil, but as this article talks about... some stuff we gotta do ourselves, 'cause the system is NEVER gonna do it for us.
Not very reassuring but hopefully we will get back in safely!

Now is the time to double down on truth, love, and community.
they hurt you.
If they can't hurt you,
they debase you.
If they can't debase you,
they defame you.
If they can't defame you,
they fucking buy guns.
Just now read your article. That sentence is what's staying with me.

We are on our own.
Together.

writing a post
is not "saying it out loud".
you're a fucking lawyer. lol.
social media seriously compromises people who have a predisposition of need for attention.. maybe
but ignore me ..hehe ^ 😁
this is as antithetical to *galvanizing* as could possibly be
when we desperately need inspiration, focus, galvanization, unification
stay off of social media and be an attorney, this is ignorant and lame
But much of us in the rest of the world are horrified by Trump and the wider implications of the maga cult on the USA.
We stand with you too.
And I hope that it isn't permanent. And that they will be able to rid themselves of the maga cult eventually.
2nd..my genuine feeling on what our future will look like.A generation will be raised in this climate of dictators (yes plural)racist hell.Many/most will suffer in at least one way or another. Finally after a few elections of felon45 cheating 10yrs or so. 1/2
Learn 3 things...educate kids on importance of fact seeking &critical thinking in schools.Secure your elections!
It's also a call to action.
You want freedom?
REAL freedom?
Americans have been on cruise control for too long, had it easy for too long.
Well, it's not being handed to you on a plate anymore.
Now you're going to have to FIGHT for justice.
This election nearly broke me.
But I'm back, FIRED UP & READY TO GO!
Lead by example!

We gotta fight for ourselves, not rely on any lofty higher-ups.
Venezuela recently had another "election" in which those with power simply declared "I WIN!"
This is not America anymore. I always thought this country capable of overcoming anything.
I don't believe that anymore and what's worse, I have zero idea what will change that.
We've lost our way.
But that’s not happening here.
Here, Trump will be sentenced but he won’t do any time. Instead, he’ll be president. 🤬

The Civil Act of 64 and the Voting Rights Act of 65 didn’t initiate from Congress but only after the nation saw the violence against African America’s on the nightly news and forced them to pass it
If the spirit's sleeping then the flesh is ink
History's page will be neatly carved in stone
The future's here, we are it, we are on our own
On our own, on our own, we are on our own
Grateful Dead
The correct combination of monetary resistance deployed in synchronization by the underdog-
Served with penache, catching fire.
Always two steps ahead as we sneak up on them from the rear.
Get ready to both release & be the secret weapon we are all hoping for
They fear trans people, not Musk or Bannon whose goal is to take over the world.
You gotta have a gimmick
Added to the Mafia code
IF we know what to do with our liberation from those who serve themselves, not their constituents…
Damn that felt dirty coming out of my fingers.
So we are on our own, but we are educated and will learn what to do.
We are all 💙

We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drummin',
More dead in the protest zones.
Gotta get down to it,
Coming to cut us down
Should've been done long ago.
What if you knew her &
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?
