I’m in several rural organizing groups. I can tell you that the Midwest “radical leftists” are planning peaceful July 4 protests and also giving away squash and zucchini.

Jess, what is the difference between a leftist and a Democrat. I see maga talk about leftists and I am not sure that I know what they mean. I've asked here a couple of times but no one has answered me. Maybe a lot of us would like to know. Thanks.

I think labels are pretty much pointless at the stage, with things evolving as fast as they are. It won't be long before reading certain books will get you labeled a radical or a terrorist by the government. Scratch that. We are already there.

It all depends on who’s using the terms, and who they are applying them to. The classical definitions you can find by doing a search. But, these days, all the various political, philosophical terms have become bastardized. I assign myself no label. I just know what’s right from what’s wrong. 😁

Exactly. Look at the word 'woke.' It was started by the black population but evolved to mean 'being aware of your government' but then the right took it as a catch word and now it just means liberal.

Meanwhile Republicans will be giving away tax cuts to billionaires on July 4 (However, hoping the bill doesn’t pass today in the house)

That’s why you all need to bone up on how the Dutch, French, Czech, Polish and Uk organized resistance movements against fascism. Start with hardware stores. Start strategizing. It’s going to get violent.

Agreed. I’m not trying to be a downer but peaceful protests never work against violent authoritarian regimes. The US is a fascist country. It’s not going to stay peaceful. ICE is going to start arresting & jailing US citizens, it’s going to escalate. Please understand this.

Good, and any they can't give away can be donated to local food pantries. They usually love fresh food. If you can't find one, Marie Wilkinson in Aurora takes fresh foods.

If the turd signs the bill, better be careful as your first amendment right just got signed away. Demonstrations or even gatherings can be made criminal now. This might get ugly with a supreme leader that gets pissed off with a wrong word.
