I have hope that many of the 75,019,616 people who did not cast a vote for the current president will actively participate in some way shape or form to help call out the “waste, fraud and abuse” being perpetrated by this administration.
ngl the shit that in my hospitalization stuff is giving me. radical acceptance. really realizing a lot of insecurity and shit is a learned behavior and theres hope to unlearn it
My students. They remind me that it’s possible to unlearn racism, xenophobia, transphobia, etc. They are ages 8-11. They are learning how to apologize when they make a mistake and how to listen to others. They are learning they can make choices every day to make the world a better neighborhood.
I am patient. Filled with Faith and Hope when I see My God are not leaving us in the dark, enabling these fighters for our Democracy-for us and standing up. We are slowly and surely doing the work, folks. God’s wrath is but a moment away. 👀 @indivisible.org
Over 300 people showing up at noon on a Friday to protest outside our Congressman’s Mishawaka, Indiana office demanding a town hall. And we had all three television stations there to cover it. Michiana Alliance for Democracy can turn out a crowd!
It really was a great turnout for it. It was cold and super windy and yeah noon on a weekday. Count the supportive traffic too !
He chose a few from small downtown business, instead of talking to a large group of constituents. Small business will go under with the cuts they are doing to everyone.
We attended the Central New Mexico STEM Research Challenge last week. Special award donors. Got to talk to lots of smart kids doing science. Loud of young women, too.
I just found out @ericswalwell.bsky.social is holding a town hall in Rep Anna Paulina Luna’s district! I call his office pretty much every day, but this exceeded even my expectations!
The crowds coming out for AOC and Bernie and all the demonstration across the country- and AOC and Bernie-, Mark Elias, the Courts, and strategic, committed activists.
The capacity of some Trump voters to admit they made a mistake. The outcry by people is building. Things have to move faster because we don’t have too much time left to save our Democracy.
yep. i have some family that came around on their own. a friends likewise family starting posting stuff like this below on facebook. take away the agent provocateurs and theres a bunch of people who arent so far away that they are not also we.
Times are dark right now, and hope can be hard to spot. But the myth of Pandora's box is worth remembering: after all the horrors and evil escaped into the world, it was Hope that was waiting at the bottom. Dig deep!
Your organization. Bernie/AOC rallies. 150 people in my MAGA town protesting ICE/Tom Holman. Judges. Tesla Takedown. GOP voters raising hell about Social Security and VA. Federal workers/unions.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
You.
Truth.
All the people speaking out.
Elizabeth Warren, Adam Kinzinger, Robert Reich, Rachel Maddow, AOC, Bernie Sanders, Jamie Raskin, Joyce White Vance, Amy Klobuchar, Adam Schiff, Canada, Jasmine Crockett, many more.
The children.
Court actions.
Other countries seeing us.
Vollensky.
Bluesky.
…Tim Walz, Dan Rather, Joe Walsh, federal employees, scientists, social workers, all non profits, alt national park service, Ukraine, every energy healer, Chris Hayes, Joy Reid, Stacy Abrams, Fanni Willis, John Stewart, Beta O’Rourke, all lawyers and prosecutors that have strong spines….
A bull is loose in our China shop. I will feel hopeful when someone takes ACTION to stop him and reverse the damage. I'm not seeing that happen. Millions protesting, nasty town halls, judges rendering decisions (that are ignored), etc are not having any effect. I feel hopeless.
@governorwalz.mn.gov @aoc.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @indivisible.org but especially the badass federal workers and the attorney generals holding town halls to make sure this administration is obeying court rulings to give federal workers back their jobs.
There will be an end to this. Those I have hopelessness hours, I have faith that the pendulum will swing back. We will clean up this mess. The mid terms are coming. The wanna-be dictator is not a king for life; He can & will be stopped. Someday he will get his due as will all his cronies.
Meeting new ppl at my local indivisible gatherings. My conservative/apathetic neighbors/coworkers are going about business as usual, so it’s nice to be in a room with ppl living in reality who are motivated to mobilize!
I am an elementary school teacher, and my beautiful students give me hope! The America they imagine is far better than the crap being served up right now. And the Civil Rights giants we study never gave up! Why should we?
All the people, D,R,I, who are protesting, AOC and Bernie holding anti-oligarchy rallies across the country and thousands of people attending, the growing criticism of Trump's administration in the media and the people on Bluesky working to fact-check the comments and actions of the president.
My kids, my thoughts on great American resistance leaders/change makers, and the Indivisible leaders that facilitated the Tesla Takedown I attended in DC today.
Rally videos on Bluesky, rally crowds cheering audio on podcasts like O'Donnell and rally numbers reported by podcasters Allison Gill, Stehanie Miller, Bob Cesca, John Fugelsang
I went to a ‘bridge takeover’ today with @indivisibleggr.bsky.social and held signs that said “fuck Musk” - which prompted two other protesters to come sing me a song:
“Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
IMPEACH THAT MOTHER FUCKER
RIGHT NOW”
I’m feeling hope that courts are standing up to the regime, that Justice Robert’s recently spoke out. The people showing up to protest in many ways, the worldwide protests for democracy, the millions showing up against fascism give me hope. My faith in love & goodness gives me hope.
This is a huge problem. It’s the only reason why Chuck Edwards, NC won his seat. He repeatedly lied in his town hall, threw out a. Veteran and was very clear in his long time support of abolishing the Dept of Education.
Started a hygiene drive for a local shelter. The connection with community folks has been inspiring and grounding. Someone on here wrote -action is the antidote to despair- rings true. (So long as you don’t overextend yourself)
Mass. Rep. Jim McGovern @repmcgovern.bsky.social @jimmcgovernma.bsky.social floating a general strike.
Big ask, but there were ~14 million U.S. wage & salary workers w/ union membership last year per the Bureau of Labor Statistics in Jan. (though other ~90% non-union).
Kamala Harris caught on camera saying 'Justice is coming' in January. Belief that there's still a plan to remove the illegitimate regime. Rallies vs illegitimate regime.
Seeing the big turnouts for AOC and Bernie. The big turnouts in Serbia and elsewhere! Puses for the April 5th rallies. Our judicial system holding strong (thus far - SCOTUS may torpedo that).
*!* Growing wealth inequality IS the cause of existential danger for the working class masses.
* tax wealth not work
* get back to 1960/1970s levels of taxation for the rich.
They will still be able to get their golden toilets if they want them.
I have hope that America will again stand for the Declaration of Independence! America doesn't need a KING or DICTATOR! We are the land of the free and home of the brave!
The numbers! Bluesky is growing, Telsa sales plummeting, citizen gathering on the rise, & DJT approval ratings sinking. If there’s enough pressure even a few of the spineless GOP Reps might begin to turn. I know, that last one is a stretch.
@jesscraven101.bsky.social’s and Robert Hubbell’s daily newsletters. And @marcelias.bsky.social and team. All remind me that good people are all around, taking action. And inspiring others to do the same.
All the protests, all over the country, so that those of us not near D.C. can join. The Dem leaders who are stepping up, putting themselves out there, and actually leading. And of course, Indivisible folks who have been there all along, leading the way. Thank you!
RACHEL MADDOW'S REPORTING! 😊 She Reports The Good.The Bad & The Ugly .. After Reporting The Ugly..She shows People around the Country Standing Up to Save It! It is always a wild ride, sometimes very painful makes your head explode but when you see people who are standing up, it gives me GREAT HOPE!!
The people! Doing Town Hall rallies with absentee Republicans, giving democratic Representatives a hard time that they're not fighting hard enough for us and of course AOC and Bernie! Also Rachel Maddow's reporting!
The AOC & Bernie rallies; MTN; Marc Elias; BTC; the AltGov accts; orgs like Indivisible, 50501, and ACLU; people on Bluesky; my Senators; people who show up at rallies; people in the media fighting back... mostly-my dog, Maizy
My belief that the Universe, Karma, God will give us the strength to overcome. And that all this will end with truth prevailing. It may get worse, but always ends with dictators in the same place…
The folks at Democracy Forward who saw it coming and are in the courts working to stop this republican administration’s march toward authoritarianism. 🇺🇸

And that we can build the solidarity needed to win actual progress.
They can see what a mistake that was. They need to act too.
Standing in for our spineless Republican Congressman at a North Carolina Indivisible event!

He chose a few from small downtown business, instead of talking to a large group of constituents. Small business will go under with the cuts they are doing to everyone.
That's hopeful.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
