The guy spend a chunk of his childhood in an internment camp because our government thought he might be dangerous because he was of Japanese descent. He was also gay when you were forced to hide it. It’s been much worse for a lot of people in our history. George knows what he’s talking about.

Democracy is not dead.
Trump is not king.
Let's channel our discontent into preparations for the 2026 midterms. Our nation is built for self-correction.
There are already many Trump voters feeling buyer's remorse.
Pound away at our keyboards and TALK ALL about just how WE ARE NOT GONNA TAKE IT!!!
And then go make lunch.
And come back to pound on our Keyboards.
TAKE THAT QMAGA!!!
🙄
What is more important, to you?
Kumbaya?
Think mass Deportations ISN’T Nazi Germany?
TF you smoking?
We’re what, 6 weeks out from “Day One”?
“Wellllll…
Sometimes talking is ok.”🤪
We can stop wondering how Jews walked so calmly to the trains, now.
We’re them.
It’s insane.
There aren't many peaceful alternatives.
So, when
You won’t need to vote ever again!”
happens IN 6 WEEKS?
“Let’s have a coffee clutch! Talk about how we TALKED!!👍🏽”
(Bet you’re White)
Excellent advice for my Brown family.🖕🏽
Your train car is to the left.
Say…
You ALSO got a Brown baby to give up

I dunno… Hate has its own allure. There’s immediate gratification and feeling like you’re the one in control and you won this round. But it all comes back to hurt you in the end.
It gives me hope, that my super conservative husband can grow.
We all grow and we move forward. My first election I voted for Reagan. 🤦
By being an example to others who are still too timid to speak out, you are doing a lot.
One Party Trifectas (President + Both Houses) are scary, but they never last long.
Let’s work to elect better candidates this time!
We don’t really have a choice. As hopeless as think the voting public is it is fight or succumb. Much of the media is choosing the latter.
In case you haven't been told lately, you're a wonderful human being ❤️
It's the fact that most Nazis are literally Straight, White, Christian Men, who have been amassing their arsenals of guns and ammunition for the last 40+ years and shoot ALOT.
average ppl = no idea how to shoot
That's something someone with a lot of hate, a lot of rage, a lot of indoctrination can be turned into: a killing machine. It's why our military complex and police don't want people with a conscience, they demand obedience.
"Follow the orders, without question"
No one stopped them, because fear is a helluva drug. No one wants to die when they could run
The fight on Jan 6 was for nothing? Jill Biden invited Melania for tea. What in the upside down, bizarre world is this?
But the dems in current power, are welcoming all these criminals in with open arms. "Trust the system" Fuck that
I’m upset but getting over this. We must get ourselves together for the sake of our country. I’m with and stand beside you too. Together we are stronger.
Or flight?
So, I believe him. We will get through it.
“There is no final victory, as there is no final defeat. There is just the same battle. To be fought, over and over again. So toughen up, bloody toughen up.”

We saw the movie Bonhoeffer today.
The parallels to today are even more stunning when you see in laid out on the big screen!
Definitely see it and take friends!
I did have Bonhoeffer & Niemoller confused at first.
