"We could have rejected the influence of dictators and oligarchs, created something more fair and more human and moved beyond this awful system." Well, the best time for me to have learned about how to do that and been on the side of doing it would have been, of course, before now. But okay, the next best time is now. So, where to begin?
Friday was indeed a wake up call for me as was yesterday's letter from Heather Cox Richardson regarding Russia's influence especially related to elections and what that says about the prospects of them being free and fair ever again under this regime https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/ . So now four questions have risen to the top of my mind:
1) What's the new plan for resistance and how and by whom will it be led?
2) Will we, should we fight as one country?
3) What kind of world are we fighting to have once we win?
4) How do we survive together until we prevail?
Inside my brain #3 is really #1. So let me ask it then. Jared, what kind of system do you envision that could create something "more fair and more human"? And secondly, who is talking about those kinds of systems that we can glean ideas and maybe inspiration from?
None of this is to say I believe we have already lost; I believe "we have only just begun to fight" (1936, FDR) and I'm just asking myself harder questions than I've sought serious answers to before.
Sorry to say this: military coup against Trump because he is planning to use the military against civilians.
Also: tax revolt for 2025
All media being shut down must come together as their own separate, protected network.
The toxic masculinity is worse than ever. Women are in danger.
At a protest Thursday in NC one of my signs reads, “VANCE IS A HILL BULLY”

What I don't get is this -- there is not a single secret serviceman who is a patriot? Not one?

Powerfully written. Clear and cogent. Thank you, Jared.
Sign me up for the tax revolt.

Excellent, Jared. I am sharing this all over Substack. I provided this as an answer to my own question:
