THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS! I found it extremely helpful.

I loved the “paint the barn” tactic, the T shirt idea, some creative storytelling that could be done (TikTok where MAGA couple tries to buy food that didn’t rely on immigrants), and public humiliation of greedy billionaires (she calls this the Mangione without murder move). So good.

She reminds us where we have power (local) and suggests we pick a subject we can sustain the fight in and then dig in locally.

I have noticed that many people I know who are rightly horrified by what is happening nationally are not turning to exercising agency locally.

We can’t skip that part.

She summarizes with these three words:

resist, refuse, ridicule.

She closed on a hard but hopeful note that I have also been pondering: ruptures are often catastrophic—but they do have in them the seeds of real, lasting change.

Amidst our grief and fight to stop the rupture, we have to be ready to build a very different future.

Attend local school board, city council, other meetings and learn what’s going on. Speak during public comment portion of meetings about what you want to see, oppose what you don’t like. It’s so empowering

I’m 1/2 way through the interview. It’s late for me. I want to finish this to see where the talking points are going to land.

But for sure the Dem leadership is paralyzed. They are dumbfounded and haven’t formulated any way to effectively counter Trump and Musk’s coup. They are seriously doing it!

This past Sunday was the 6th after the Epiphany/3rd before Lent. The assigned Gospel reading was the Beatitudes from Luke's "Sermon on the Plain". Listen to what he said.
