The only thing we should not do is do nothing.

It's a FEW against MILLIONS of us...

The time to do ANYthing and EVERYthing we can, no matter how small, is NOW!!

1. Do NOT OBEY in advance, they're counting on that

2. Stay focused. This huge sh*tshow is meant to paralyze us.

3. Do NOT COMPLY w/o resisting, make it hard to FW

4. SPEAK OUT, silence is acceptance

5. SHOW you can be COUNTED on / a FAFO attitude

6. Seek information and SHARE it with everyone

7. Undocumented or not, KNOW & EXERCISE your rights

8. Resist: prepare to act and STOP/SLOW them down

9. Organize, plan, be ready to take RESISTANT action

10. Be team up with like-minded people, Bluesky… we’re stronger together

Act as if we were invincible... because we ARE.

We WILL win this. We WILL win!!

"When someone SHOWS you who they are, believe them the FIRST time." - Maya Angelou

It's time to show them who WE are.

** News sources, and how much we consume… refocus now and then on what matters most

** At any given time there’s chaos in the world, executive orders can/are being sign into being

** What’s for SHOW/INTIMIDATION (deportations in Military planes), and what is actually taking effect?

** Let not our peace be stolen… while STLL letting our voices be heard… because silence is acceptance

** Budgets being cut, FDIC being done away with, DEI being cancelled… most, if not all of these, are being challenged by lawsuits having been filed.

** Read/Share information on anything that matters to you, your loved ones, and your community.

** Stay loud, make as much noise as possible!!

These are not so much “show notes” per se, but just MY bullet points, which I use to try and stay on track as I speak.

** Take it one day at time… are you ok RIGHT NOW?

** Do NOT obey/submit in advance.

** Stand up for those who cannot… if we (those who can withstand the winds) do not stand up, what does that make us??

** Support/back those (back the blue) who risk everything to protect us…

** Silence is ACCEPTANCE

** Why risk it all… we’re going to die eventually, I would rather die for a good cause than just die.

** Even if it’s “not you” right now… one day it will be you/us

** Know your rights, make it HARD to be harassed… arrest me, jail me, for doing nothing… SUE THEM!!

** If we give in, we empower them over us…

Recent events have gotten me thinking more about the meaning of neutrality than I normally would.

It’s so easy for our brain to spiral into darkness, fear, sadness

So, how do we bring it back to a neutral zone as soon as

One thing I know for sure is… life will always throw us

Here are some things I find helpful:

* It’s ok to be/feel negative emotions… fighting them too

* It’s always been this way

* It’ll always be this way… more or less

* Refocus on all the beauty and good in your life

* Sometimes we have it wrong… our imagination at its best

I’m seeing, and feeling, more fragility in the last couple

Is ignorance bliss?  

If ignorance is bliss, do you remember a time in your life when you suffered greatly, only to look back now and ask yourself… “what the heck was I thinking?”.

During the depression not everyone was poor… who prospered?

During the pandemic not everyone was lonely… why were some people not lonely?

Who is sad/mad/afraid/ now? …

Who is happy/joyful/excited with the election results?

What to do in the next 4 years (or in any difficult
