Head of Social Security and FDA step down because of Musk's illegal access for your personal information. Make a call ( 5calls.org ) & protest. And write! Paint! Make music ! #writingisresistance

#Writing A crowd of Looking Glass people gathered before the stage...The White Rabbit unrolled a long sheet of paper signed RQ."Bring out the prisoners!"yelled the White Rabbit in a squeaky voice. "I will read you your crimes...the trials will commence after your death to ensure we did not err."

#writingcommunity The White Rabbit glared at Alice. And Hearne kicked her... "Quiet. This is how the Red Queen ends her parties. To remind everyone of her control."..."why doesn't someone DO something?" "No one wants to lose their heads, my dear," said Caterpillar,munching a fly.

"I still feel quite dizzy. I think I lost time... ," Alice said,holding her head in her hands as she looked down at the growling grass. "That's not surprising," said Hatter, taking a sip of tea. "I am always losing him. He's very secretive about where he goes. He must have lots of hiding places."

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

The logic of the coup that is going on now. And how to resist it. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Since life is so gloomy right now, here is a picture of my lab- terrier mix dog,Winston, as a puppy to make you smile. He’s bigger now.

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

#writing Remembering that the White Queen had once told her that one’s memories should work forward as well as backward, Alice said, I have tried to remember things that have yet to happen, but I am just not any good at it. Oh well, forward-memoring takes some practice…Hatter said, sneezing.

#writing …the Rose, flick[ed] away a fly with a disdainful look…Humph! Children are such bothersome and vile creatures. They go around grinning and pulling us up by the roots, said the Rose. If she pulls us up, she will be sorry said the Rose to the Oleander.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

A criminal pardoning criminals. Biden preemptively pardoning those who investigated the criminal felon now in power. Yeah, this isn’t normal. Keep up in between selfcare. Read #OnTyranny if have not. Now.. to #write.

BREAKING NEWS: President Biden has just awarded PREEMPTIVE PARDONS to Liz Cheney, General Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, and the entire January 6 Committee. Good!

Unplug or watch MLK ceremonies/you tubes. Read. #write. Play cards. Listen to music. Do yoga. Donate to charities. Progressive causes. Walk in Nature. Bake. #selfcare.

#writing …Great War. A war between the dark and the white witches. Ozma and her army…”That goes back to the story of the green witches,” said Elsbeth, wrapping her grey, silk robe tighter…” and the white witches claim elf ancestry. And for most a thing is true if one believes it so.”

#writing Elsbeth stood by her enormous crystal ball by the window. Cradled by a large wooden hand. With crooked fingers. She waved one scene away after another. Like turning pages in a book. “ I cannot see,” Elsbeth said, turning back to Nebbish. “It is a Great War. And it will not be the last…”

#writingcommunity 2…”And a human baby at that. What could she do? She hasn’t any magic.” “How do you know she doesn’t? piped the Violet… The Daisy looked up at the dancing clouds, and replied, “I love all babies.” The Violet, purple and guant, said,” Oh please. All they do is scream. I can do that.”

#writing 1.”She will upset everything one day,”a pretentious, white Tulip said, frowning. “We need to get rid of her while she is still a bud.” Daisy said, “She is only a baby,” swinging petals out of her face. A petulant Rose powdered her stamen and sneezed. “

#WritingCommunity”.”… the time wiggle engulfed him. A tunnel of time. Time ripples and variegated colors cascading over him. No certain time settled. He floated past them all. An unending sea of time. Where and when am I? …He fell on grass that muttered something unintelligible and spat dew.”

These confirmation hearings are just theater. Do you honestly think Republicans, the party that thinks toxic imbecile Donald Trump is qualified to be president, is going to find *any* white person unqualified for *anything*?

How I #Resist: 1. #writing ! Goal: writing a #bannedbook 2. support progressive institutions & 3. independent journalists that don’t bend the knee. ( Me: #PlannedParenthood & #MotherJones).

2… #writing “But he knew he would face death either way. If they didn’t go, the Red Queen would execute them. Or put them on slow reversal. A torturous death…And then keep their heads alive as a curiosity in her gruesome Cabinet of Heads. Maybe he had a chance in the tunnels.”

#writing #writingcommunity “We could backward time trek,” Hearne said… “Are you mad?”said Teigue, eating the last of the Grimmish eggs. “You are as mad as the Mad Hatter… You must be at least level 6 for that with a government assigned air carriage.”

2. #writing “For such accidents, the cleanup crew, or unreversed workers, were called to remove what was left, if anything, of the travelers from the other end of the continuum. Most Looking Glass and Wondrish citizens looked at such workers with disdain.”From Elsewhere to Neverwhere.

#writing 1 “Despite the dangers, people from the High-Country had been coming to the Low country for eons. Some by magic. Some by accidental time slips. Or by invitation with gleaming, golden tickets. But however they came, it was no simple matter to pass through one parallel universe to another.

Preparing for the next four years. Here is a practical guide for coping with and getting through Trump 2.0.

2. #writingjourney #writers “It began like any other thunderstorm. Then large, furious, golden balls of lightning tossed everywhere. As if by some mad magician. And anyone, or any house, touched by them changed. Permanently…this happened to the…N’s. And so…others…lived in a different time.”

#writingjourney #writing 1. Time loops take one into a circle, and time slips, or wiggles, can take you anywhere. Time storms were the worst. Magic gone awry. One house, one village, might get caught in a time storm. Where time moved more quickly…”

OMG!!! Ariana Grande in #Wicked! Just saw the movie. ❤️❤️❤️Holiday madness, illness & a sprained arm got in the way.

2…”Their parents the Wicked Witch of the West, Elsbeth; and the Black King, Nash, who had died in the first Great War against Ozma and her army.”

1. “Warning to unreversed travelers. Molecular dissemination may occur. Welcome to Wonderland.”The sign was for High- Country people. But they were Ozian witches. Two of the three N’s: Nebbish and Null. Netta on other business…

No jail time or penalties for F %#king Frump but still a #convictedfelon. When will this madness end?

“The mirror rippled. Layers upon layers. Like an ocean. Unfolding one parallel universe and another. Each illuminating the room in a myriad of colors. Unstacking beneath the next like pages in a book. Alice had to step quickly. Or there was no telling where she might go.”

If you try to steal a loaf of bread, and hurt no one in the process, America will throw you in prison. If you try to steal an election, and hurt lots of people in the process, America with throw you a party, give you its most prestigious job, and millions of dollars to squander on your vulgarity.

January 6th was a coordinated attempt to kidnap members of Congress, overturn a free and fair election by its people, and install a president whose criminality is simply unprecedented and whose involvement was complete. johnpavlovitz.com/2022/01/05/a...
