Some moments in life hit like a gut punch, leaving you breathless and certain that nothing will ever be the same. After more than 30 years of living in Florida, watching the rise of the MAGA cult has been a relentless series of devastating realizations and opportunities to push back against fascism.
I hate what Trump and his cronies are doing to our country. It makes me sick, so sick you feel like moving to another country. Everyone needs to stand up and VOTE THEM OUT. HE TOLD THE PUBLIC WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO, BUT SOME PEOPLE DID NOT LISTEN……………..
… I HOPE THE ONES THAT VOTED FOR HIM, are the FIRST TO GET FIRED. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
I'm guessing that it's not in our blood to side with a despot. When the folk who voted for Don feel their mistake they'll start to wake up. I think we're seeing it now.
I’ve begun writing poems and posting them on my account as a form of protest of the corruption taking over our government. If anyone connects with certain phrases or lines, USE THEM. Put it on posters, post it on your socials, respond with your own writings! The point of these poems is to get people to realize the reality of our situation, these are not “my poems”, these are for the people who need a voice.
I’m on your side!! But I’m being contacted by so many progressive organizations who are asking for money. Action is imperative. What about some collaboration and coordination with Move on, Indivisible and Swing Left?
I was born after WW2 ended. As a teen I read all I could about Hitler and fascism and I still do to this day.It would be more than beneficial for all Americans to take this despot's rule seriously since we are facing another despotic rule in the US....RIGHT NOW.IT IT tCAN HAPPEN HERE BECAUSE IT IS HAPPENING HERE RIGHT NOW. And take a look at the Third Reich and see how it devastated an entire population of people that Hitler decided HE hated. And in doing so he placed his own people into world hatred and deprivation; of murder and bigotry that informs our own world today. It can't happen here you insist???? IT IS HAPPENING IN THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE. We cab stop but first we must believe it is true. Trust me. It's true.
Keep posting these ground-level views of the cluster-fu** that is the current state of our union. FREE AMERICA from malign corporate operators. barking mad tech bros and the bought and paid for 19th century-headed members of congress who have been bought and paid for by them and are of exactly ZERO USE to we the people.
Oh my goodness! We were signed up for the postcards last night and thought it was tonight. I’m honestly trying to get the hang of this and realized the Substack went with the email. Sheesh see you Sunday!!!
It's unclear where in Florida you live. You've mentioned various parts of the state. I live in the Miami area. You did not mention the surprisingly mindless and soulless Ronnie DeSantis and the Florida legislature.
All we can hope for, I'm sorry to have to say, is that Donnie and Ronnie will hurt enough of their own supporters that even the supporters will turn against them. Yes, of course the rest of us are going to get hurt, too, as are many other people around the world, but we have elections, and we take the consequences with which those elections leave us. It would certainly have been better if Donnie couldn't run, as the state of Colorado, and temporarily the state of Maine, said he couldn't, but the SCOTUS were sucking their thumbs, and didn't enforce US laws.
So everyone gets hurt until 1) special elections (two in Florida) go our way, or 2) people finally figure out they rocks in their shoes, and who put those rocks there, in '26. And if all of that doesn't awaken the public/voters, then we are, as the French say, fucked.
Since DeSantis became the governor of Florida, he has turned it into a great fascist state with banning books, pretending to know about healthcare measures, threatening revenge if his rules are not followed at colleges and universities, limiting free speech, making voting much harder along with registration, interfering with women's birth control rights, all the usual fascist, racist, bigotry crap normal for a Hitlerian creep.
IMPEACH AND DUMP TRAITOR , NAZIS , FELONS, AND CON REPUBLICONS EVERYWHERE. YES CON REPUBLICONS, CLIMATE CHANGE IS DANGEROUS, REAL, DISRUPTIVE WORLDWIDE, COSTLY, AND PREVENTABLE. STOP DENYING CLIMATE CHANGE AND FACE THE SCIENCE . DUMP THE CON RTRUMP AND CRONIES.

Thank-you!
I’ve been getting your emails and only now realize who you are and what you are about.
Yes, it’s up to us, we the people to build the movement to reclaim and reestablish our democracy.
Looking forward to getting more involved.
Albeit I am birthing my work and I am quite vulnerable to the destructive policies of Trump and his robber barons,
So my work and my vulnerability along with my committment to support equality and a life of dignity for all informs my movements forward.
Glad to have found this group.
We must organize and plan effectively .

Putin and his oligarchs privatized the departments of government and that is how they rule, Putin is doing it via Trump, but what can we do?
This is a great post laying out the historical plan and events
