Don't fall for it

In case folks misunderstand... I have seen too many examples of non-violent protest working to ignore its power. Civil Rights. India. Vietnam. Yes, protesters were brutalized but they showed the world there was a different way to build allies. Violence is my last resort. Peace is power.

Yep. Would be a good idea.

I employ a variety of sources & not just social media. I can play the "I'm smart" game too. No need for my resume. Does it matter? No. Does spelling matter? Marginally. What matters is fighting back. IMHO, targeted peaceful protest is best

In the 1960s redneck precursors to MAGA were beaten by organized, peaceful protesters. In 1930s-40s, a small, charismatic leader in India beat the largest Empire in the world through non-violent protest. I guess it depends on what you pay attn to. I have read On Tyranny. I choose peaceful ACTION.

Taxation without representation

You pay taxes so he can illegally weaponize that money against you and your community

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

Sorry. I was an English major.

I do, but I also see that the more he does that $#!+ the more he loses support amongst his base, Congress, Senate and nations around the world. We've been to this rodeo and we ain't riding. I am neither blind nor stupid. I'm a cynical optimist.

Love this, @peggystuart.bsky.social succinct despite 24 frames, informative and documented. Everyone should read the whole thread. As an Oregonian I knew Portland wasn't a hellscape (I live in state capitol 40 miles away) and suspected it was more about political retribution.
THANKS!

A thing to remember when posting pics. Include today's newspaper or other means of demonstrating these aren't pics from ten years ago. Post not just on Bluesky where audience agrees, but TikTok, FB, etc and start sending pictures to Red State newspapers (we know it's BS but they can be convinced).

Jenifer Kay Hood @jeniferkayhood.bsky.social · 21h

Well, given that he's not I guess we should prepare for WWIII.
