He is a person to listen too. Yes, we all have to dig deep in ourselves, to RISE UP.

being willing to kill for freedom?

Because being only as courageous as I can be won't spare me from living under tyranny.

A better rallying cry might be to get as angry as I can be.

And impress the public figures I oppose with my numbers and my willingness to physically harm them.

That's what I learned from Jan6 and Trump's pardons.

Am I to profit from what Timothy Snyder says to me or what Donald Trump has shown me?

The Montgomery Bus boycott targeted 1 company. Musk will be losing it when Tesla falls apart. We need to try to find ways to stop public money from going to Space X.
We need someone to lead and coordinate.

This is it! Where are our leaders? We are so infiltrated people are scared of even putting a bumper sticker on their car. All the folks who used to rally the troops are either dead in prison or in recovery having survived the 60s. Lots of people in recovery are conflicted because they bought into the dogma. They are complicate in my eyes.
Universities are now boot camps for programmed people that do not have the abilities to question WTF is going on? How did this happen? Its complicated. But yea lets do this just waiting for the other shoe to drop like everybody else, Im ready.

Anyone remember Grand Master Jay, the leader of the NFAC? They scared the crap out of Trump... and for his trouble Garland put the guy away for 10 years for misusing his rifle scope as a flashlight at a protest. Would-be heroes were paying attention... Jay, Manning, Werner... people know what our country will do now to those who stand up meaningfully to tyranny. There is no one else...

It's hard to believe that we are at this point today, but we are. It's going to take all of us to resist this hostile takeover of our country.

Flat-out reject a lie. Flat-out refuse an illegal or immoral command. Ignore and deny illegitimate power. Make the criminals put forth the effort of dealing with your simple acknowledgment of reality.

No matter how crazy they are, they have backers who are less crazy and don't want the hassle. It adds up.
