I am so proud of my son Derek for his work as Cinematographer on this documentary that just won the Golden Globe at Canne. This is how we will defeat fascism. We will repeat the truth over and over.

A typical road in Vermont. Sixty percent of Vermont roads are dirt. They are smoothest during winter. That's when they get iced over. Don't worry, we covered the ice with sand.

ICE out! Following our success with the Tesla protest, it's time to turn our energy toward a new challenge. ICE is doing online surveillance out of 2 national facilities, one in Vermont! Stand with your fellow Vermonters to defend our values: a place where all people feel safe, welcomed, and free.

I joined the progressive party this year just because of this kind of nonsense. Many of the old school Democrats are tone deaf right now.

It amazes me how many people question that this is real. Obviously they've never been to Vermont in the fall.

I blocked the people that say this is AI. Their arrogance is outstanding. Obviously they've never been to Vermont in the fall.

I used to attend that car show as well. It's too bad they stopped.

I agree. It is going to take national strikes to shut down this authoritarian government.

The Trump administration is now going to track all of your online communications. When a dictator seizes power, they do try to control information. Make sure to join your local resistance movement.

Excerpt from Anne Frank, Diary of a Young Girl: "Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes...
Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared..." Sound familiar?

Dear America. You are waking up to the fact that 1/3 of America supports a fascist dictatorship and wants 1/3 of America killed while the other 1/3 watches and does nothing.
