There are some people we can't reach. These people are fully in the cult. No matter what arguments we make, they'll still believe the lies of the regime. In fact, they might actually approve of what the regime is doing.
And yet, it seems like in general, they seem to be the ones that get targeted by all the memes and arguments and media.
We forget that there are so many people who just don't want to get political. The low-information voters. And the mass media has downplayed and normalized all the horrors. These are the people we need to reach. Because they don't realize how bad things truly are.
And things are bad. ICE arrested a sitting mayor and disappeared him. A woman who was arrested for writing an op ed (and denied her asthma medication, so she was in severe respiratory distress) was finally released, but only after hard fighting to get her out. RFK Jr wants to create a list of autistic people (and why would the government want a list like that?). The regime is ignoring judicial orders. And that's just the things I can think of off the top of my head.
So, what should we do?
Well, first, call your reps and register your opposition to them cutting Medicaid. Then, don't help the regime make any lists. Be aware of where ICE is in your community, and if you see them kidnapping people, do what you can to impede them. (I know, some will only get themselves kidnapped too, so only what you can safely do.)
Finally, I'm including last week's Last Week Tonight (just because)...
...and a video that popped up on my BlueSky feed. It'll be interesting to see who agrees and who is offended by this one.
Take care of yourself. Take care of your community. Stay safe.
We are living in perilous times
ReplyDeleteI'm not at all offended. She's saying what my parents said way back when. He was always trying to blow smoke up the working class' ass. Just like trump only trump doesn't even try to hide his crazy anymore.
ReplyDeleteThe White House has gone rogue. When the Supreme Court gave him immunity, they created that regime. They knew what was going to happen, and they did it anyway. Obviously, they've been bought and paid for. Fortunately, November will give us the chance to get a handle on all of this bullshit. - Also, the 5 Calls app is good to have.
And RFK Jr. should be making a list of his heroin addict buddies. - Another waste of space on this planet.
My first question of the day is always, is the cheeto in chief dead yet? So bummed The Simpson's missed it. Of all of their predictions not to come true.
It's crazy that the mayor got arrested.
ReplyDeleteOk, I know people who don't vote. Which I don't get. But I wish more people would contact their elected officials.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's really hard times.
ReplyDeletethecontemplativecat here. These are crazy times.
ReplyDeleteBirgit here…a mayor was taken? This is , I don’t know what to say, it disgusting, scary and reminds me of Russia. People were taken. Off the streets or from their home on a regular basis. Anyone they deemed against the State. Why are the higher ups put a stop to it? Where are the protests? Why are not the young looking back in time when so many protested? It’s so very sad.
ReplyDeleteYes, all of what you've said and then more. It's gotten me so down that I don't post but once a month. I wonder if the United States can survive all of these terrible MAGAts
ReplyDeletePeople are disappearing in that country too. And I thought such things happened in The East is East.
ReplyDeleteGiven that I have an inlaw who is autistic, the thought of an autism list is absolutely scary. I had also heard about the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sending text messages to staff at Columbia University and Barnard College asking if they are Jewish or Israeli. Who needs to know? That is truly scary.
