They are preparing for violence. But I would imagine that a lot is possible in a rally that promotes human dignity and shared humanity. Not just anger. Disruption is important, but reminding these soldiers there are intelligent, peaceful adults on either side of the divide could blur the moral paradigm. In addition, their service protects our civil liberties and keep our country as powerful and aspirational as it is. That link has to be recognized and upheld, even as they are possibly brainwashed from within. We want soldiers to be thoughtful and contemplative. The speeches need to remind them they are free men and women, not slaves or machines. Even while they work for their paycheck, many of them also want to experience pride, respect and acceptance. We can't do anything about evil people wanting to bully and oppress others to feed their insecurities. But we can strengthen the resolve of people who would rather stand with us.

This weekend we need to respond big. Organize, protest, march nationwide. I'm working in Indy. What are your plans to protest?

It was the most successful protest we've had and instead of continuing protests like that we just stopped. The news actually covered No Kings Day because of how large it was. This whole movement is pointless if we don't get larger protests similar to No Kings Day that get national news coverage.

Back in the late 80s, this was one of the events we talked about a lot.

That moment seems to be coming again on American soil.

Are you ready?

Been following Tad for a while and had to share this video. I'm pretty sure he doesn't mind folks screen recording (🤞).

Hopefully y'all find something that resonates.

Tl:dr Democracy has fallen, but if we burn, they burn with Us!

Our democracy has fallen. trump has declared national guardsmen in D.C, Baltimore, Chicago, Oakland, and Los Angeles.

To the civilians preparing to protest, steel yourselves.

To the guardsmen being mobilized, delay your duty and question your orders.

This moment...this is the moment where the People decide the fate of our nation. They can deny us the Epstein files. They can arrest us. They can beat us. They can open fire on us.

Look to the flag and know that We The People embody the true spirit of Liberty, Freedom and the Pursuit of Happiness. It is We The People who have built America off our blood, sweat and tears. This is not right or left, but only moving forward because the regime will never grant us freedom.

I have a message for donald trump.

You have made history. You have started a spark that is catching. You have united the People more than ever against you and the Fascist regime who pulls the strings.

See the flames licking your regime?

Fire is catching.

And if we burn, you burn with Us!

Do with that what you will. Do not forget this simple truth.

I don't mean to suggest holding meetings about it until the enemy kicks your door in, but there's a specific set of optics he's looking for. We did this right in LA. The troops sat there feeling stupid until he gave up. I think that right now, he's looking for a city that will give Fox News the footage they need to justify escalation. Please, if at all possible, don't give it to them. Stay organized, don't panic, and make them look and feel stupid. He's an attention whore, and I think the right move right now is to starve him.
