It’s not a kitchen-table issue, nevertheless I find myself hoping Democratic leaders pipe up about Trump handing his top campaign donor our contingencies for war against a nuclear power where he makes cars.

The Trump / Musk, Nazi normalization plot has failed for the most part due to Germany who has held mass protests against Musk and the brave citizens in Ohio that stigmergically came together to run parading Nazis out of their neigbourhood. Your actions matter and your voices can drown out the hate.

For Heather and anyone with a large platform, I implore you to think of how to mobilize your audience to fight fascism.

Call for:
Daily. Public. Action.

It can be online or preferably in person, but it cannot be just a phone call, text or email. Each action must inspire others. 2/x

Action in person daily is practically impossible, but online actions can fill the gaps!

As simple as commenting on your congressperson’s social media, or on the accounts of a politician you despise, or the White House pages.
