I am learning how to defend democracy and the humanity of immigrants, LGBT+ community, POC, and women’s rights. I say “Absolutely NOT” to authoritarianism/fascism and all the other similar government types.

Hey! If you are feeling hopeless, helpless and don’t know what to do, you are not alone. But don’t give into despair! There are many small and big things you CAN do!

Pinned at the top of my instagram page is a Long list of things we CAN do!

Want to read the Epstein files? Or important climate reports? You’ll probably need a FOIA office for that.

Use FPF's new tool to help us tell Congress that Trump’s decimation of FOIA offices is unacceptable. Americans deserve access to all their records.

Tell Congress to protect FOIA offices

Use FPF’s new tool to ask your representatives to put a stop to secrecy

This is a cool idea! Can we do something like this in the USA?

Billy Bragg has started a ‘reclaim the lampposts’ campaign and is happy to supply these stickers for you to attach to lampposts with flags on. If you want to call the Xenophobes out then send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Billy Bragg at Bragg Office PO Box 6830, Bridport DT6 9BH

Okay. I will try to do better!

…which tells me we just need to get that kind of information out there more. But what else? What else makes you (or people you know) hesitant?

SLO_resistance_girl @larastheme81.bsky.social · 7d

I have a genuinely curious question for people not yet engaged in any resistance work. What keeps you from engaging? No judgement at all. I’m just trying to figure out what some of the barriers are for people. It seems like a lot of people just don’t know what effective options they have….

On Conservatism

Conservatism is one of those words that sounds wholesome on its face, like a fresh biscuit wrapped in wax paper or a grandfather’s wisdom about how to keep your life steady in a storm.

I understand that deeply! I am tempted to get off Meta all the time. For now, it’s where I am making the most difference locally. So I’m sticking it out. 😬
I hope you can find your place in this civil resistance movement by watching One Million Rising or Resistance 101. I’m always happy to talk

I just got a zillion more followers too. How can we check if we got added to any starter packs?

SLO_resistance_girl @larastheme81.bsky.social · 14d

Hey followers! Are any of you currently living in San Luis Obispo County in CA? I’m just wondering if I should be posting local opportunities for Civil Resistance on here, like I am on Instagram.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database.

Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away.

The cruelty is the point.

My ex-husband used to tell me all the time that I was defiant.

He was right. I will never stop fighting for the wellbeing of ALL of us. Yep ALL. If rules are made that harm any of us, those rules will be met with defiance, resistance, a solid “NO!”

SLO_resistance_girl @larastheme81.bsky.social · 16d

Oh what a wonderful thing you are doing! Thank you for helping with the pets!! 😃 So much is needed right now, it takes all of us doing all kinds of things. I’m so thankful someone thought of this need! 🥰
