ICE is out today in NE. The outrage of our government rounding up the hardest working people in the country, who make our economy run, who care for our kids and labor in our fields and build our homes and serve our food, on this holiday and every day. This Labor Day, commit to fight for them harder.

The entire fascist plot relies on us being terrified and sad. This is why they’re constantly trying to scare everyone with theatrics. They want you to see him as unstoppable and not as a 79-year-old with severe health problems who will die soon.

Horrible 🙁 In was definitely the sickest I’ve ever been in my life, but I’ve had no lasting effects except the knowledge that I never want to get it again! I’m reading that blue states are putting together a plan to provide access to their residents.

I don’t think it’s something that can be rushed. The fight is building. Whether or not you see that depends on what you’re paying attention to. It took a long time & a lot of complacency for us to get here. It’s going to take time & a lot of people waking up to get out.

I also live in a deeply blue state & I know our governors are building a bulwark against the regime. Idk what’s going to happen but something’s going to happen… which in some ways is better than just going along with the deeply unfair & broken system we had. There are 350 mil of us tho… and guns.
Shelly Threw the Looking Glass🪞 (@shellygee.bsky.social) reply parent
But I also have faith that Americans will stand up & a revolution will happen. Unfortunately, the comfortable middle class is still too comfortable. It’s coming though. Watch.
Shelly Threw the Looking Glass🪞 (@shellygee.bsky.social) reply parent
Well then we 100% agree. I go to protests & I call my electeds. I’m deeply frustrated by how checked out most people seem. We’re highly complacent because we haven’t faced a crisis like this in the lifetime of most adults currently living. We are also grounded by our need to just survive.
Shelly Threw the Looking Glass🪞 (@shellygee.bsky.social) reply parent
So why fight if it’s over & there’s nothing we can do? We should just lie down & accept it all? I don’t understand your motivation in trying to convince me there’s no hope.

He announces a lot of things. He is a paper tiger caught between fits of childish tantrums & a deep need to be liked. He’s also DEEPLY in over his head & an old, ill man. Don’t give him power he doesn’t have by assuming the worst is going to happen. Is Canada a state yet?

Believe it or not, nothing he’s done with the National guard has been illegal yet. Dc is not a state & has different rules. No military has moved against civilians. He’s posturing & threatening, but hasn’t crossed that line. I’m sure he’s wildly frustrated that protests have remained peaceful.

The regime also had not had time to fully capture the state, and don’t forget in America STATES have power & the people vastly outnumber the ruling class AND any brainwashed military.

An enraged middle class who’s had their lives destroyed for the greed of the ruling class will not sit quietly in this country. This whole episode has exposed the true predatory nature of our capitalist system & I’m choosing to have faith that people will rise up.

I know. But also successful fascist regimes strive to create a functional system to lull the people into obeying. These fools have done the opposite by trying to destroy the things that people need to function.

I am just going to say this again bluntly: Blue states are going to need to become the federal government. Mutual aid compacts, mutual defense compacts, healthcare, taxes, trade the whole deal. Literally create a new system outside of the fascist federal system.
