For myself, and I believe for many others, this is no longer a political issue but an ethical one. We The People simply don't treat other human beings with utter disregard for basic human rights.

We The People do have the power within us, we always have. So, we got bamboozled for a bit. We made a mistake, and mistakes can be corrected. Just like the song says....

This land is my land, this land is your land.

From California to the New York islands.....

This land belongs to you and me.

I have no doubt that we will not only come out of this, but be better than we ever have been.

We all chose to be here now for this reason, now is our time. Absolutely, positively no doubt about it!!!!!

Conviction my friends!!

That's the point though. The two can't be separated. Every political decision is an ethical one.

…great summary and reminder of the madness that’s been unleashed in less than a year by this criminal regime. It’s up to all of us to resist this fascist regime, and we need many who were somehow roped into the MAGA cult to finally come around and stand up for democracy. We, the people, are all that’s left to prop up our decaying democracy and ensure peace, justice, empathy, compassion, and humanity are our future - not fascist oligarchy.

Persistence. Support each other. Inspire each other. Resist every fascist word. Every fascist footstep. Push back. Push back hard. Envision a much better world. The one we know is possible. Share that vision. Continuously breathe new life into that vision - both for personal transformation and for the nation. Grow stronger through solidarity and brotherhood. The people united, will never be defeated!

We have been ruled through conformity and now we are stepping into our Authenticity in the face of conformity. We are waking up to who we came here to be and realizing WE are the change we want to see in the world.

Show up, be ready, do whatever is before you, any bit of kindness, even being a truth teller, not arguing but stating a fact done over move on to the next right thing! Call a congressman, encourage your service member to follow lawful order. Thank you Marianne for all your encouragement & wisdom, I desperately need and hunger for it 🙏🤍

Breakdowns open futures we couldn’t access before. They expose what no longer works, what’s rotten, what’s unsustainable. Only then does the collective have enough clarity—and enough pain to respond.

Trump and his gang didn’t create the dysfunction; they exposed it. They revealed how fragile our systems were: trust, truth, institutions, elections, information, governance. Once the breakdown was undeniable, people could finally see what needed to be rebuilt.
