We must start thinking not just as subjects within in impersonal, inexorable system, but as free agents joining together to fight other human beings in an epochal, even species-defining battle over which system is going to ultimately decide our future on this planet.

I don’t know what that battle is going to look like yet. I don’t know how we will defeat them. But I can see that the backlash Trump and Musk is already starting. Their betrayal of their voters might be a millennial opportunity. Let’s get ready to grab it!

To that end, I’m going to invite you to do something if you get a free moment. I’m going to invite you to imagine Trump’s defeat. Your fantasy does not have to be plausible. It does not have to be elaborate. It does not even have to be possible! But it does have to be vivid and pleasurable.

But that's just one's person's imaginings. We need as many people as possible to play with these ideas! Once our collective vision is really concrete and vivid, then the strategizing can begin: working backwards, what do we need to do to get there?

It definitely can't look like Bernie speaking to majority white people...again, and sheep dogging them back into the clutches of an unmoored and intransigent Democrat Party...again.

Help needed! URGENTLY!
Adolf 'Dodgie Donnie' Trump has published a Puff Propaganda piece about what a Good President Best In Creation' that he is and appears to have gathered a cluster of his arsekissers to agree! Pop over and put them right! Be the Resistance!
