No one is situated in the precise community where you live, with the exact circle of influence you have, with the local connections you’ve made, with the specific knowledge of the way the massive national Trump sewage pipe line flows into your little community—but you do.

Well put! I know a lot of people are ready to just say “I told you so” and I am too, but there is definitely an opportunity for outreach. I was raised very conservatively and didn’t question my family until 2020. That year was an unprecedented opportunity for a domino effect on my entire world view

Friends, I know it’s grim and terrifying and batshit crazy out there in ways we’ve never experienced, but that actually good news as far as the something you can do.

I agree. In my town population 43,000. I have attended Townhalls with my MOC, I now go to school board meetings, I’m attending a protest at a Tesla Dealership & a meeting of an Advocacy group that exposed 2 Christian Nationalists men who bought up 120 properties in town with….

….I’ll gotten gains they bilked people out of through a Ponzi scheme (they are currently under Federal Indictment), I pass out Immigrants Rights card to Latinos in my town, I call my MOC several times a week. I’ve dropped: Amazon, Prime Video, WholeFoods, Threads, Instagram & What’s App….

Called Target corporate my family of 5 will no longer step in their stores. We are shopping local except tomorrow as we will be participating in the NATIONAL ECONOMIC BOYCOTT tomorrow by not spending 1 penny on anything. Oh and donated $ to the races for special election seats to be filled.

If it All seems like too much I have 1 effective suggestion. Pay attention to where you spend your money. Spending it on businesses who are NOT funding the Fascists is critical & fairly easy to do. Go to https://goodsuniteus.com Shop more local. Fight fascisim & have more 💰in the bank. 🗽⚖️🇺🇸

1. Most of you are too young to remember 1972 when Nixon was re-elected in a landslide while the number of our guys who had came home in boxes from Vietnam was in the tens of thousands, and Nixon/Kissinger were casually discussing drowning 200K civilians by bombing the dikes (it's on tape).

2. Then Watergate drove him from office. With Trump his undoing with be when the fool wrecks the economy and lies blaming Biden don't save him. Inflation, fears of interest rate increases, stock market sell-off, looming recession. Then the worms will turn.

I was there.
Democrats got us into the war.
Nixon promised to withdraw. Another lie the voters believed.
A trend?
The draft and war ended because a lottery system was instituted. This meant fortunate sons might have to fight and die.
No chance.
The poor have been fighting rich people's wars.
