(25,355 posts)show up in groups in many places to show our disapproval of not only the performance crap from RWNJs, but of practices that are hurting us because of lies and gaslighting on important issues from both the MAGAs and the establishment RWers. It is long past time for public pushback about issues that concern us.
We need to show up at hospitals that price gouge patients or give substandard care when they quibble with insurance coverage for people who come to them in emergencies.
Show up at health insurance companies that scheme to deny coverage.
Show up at RR company headquarters that are responsible for environmental disasters. Ditto for oil companies.
Show up at company headquarters that get tax cuts and incentives and then use the money for share buy backs instead of investing it in research for quality and safety or the jobs creation that they claim they need tax cuts for.
Show up outside SCOTUS when they give insane rulings that take away women's body autonomy, cut away at the Civil Rights Act, and when justices refuse to recuse themselves over conflicts of interest.
Show up outside the Capitol when RWers refuse to act on gun control, try to restrict voting rights, try to restrict women's reproductive health options, show blatant favoritism to media and jeopardize security like giving access to the J6 film footage, etc. Show up also at the offices of individual members who promote this insanity.
Show up at local school boards to oppose RW loudmouths and disinformation spreaders on curriculum and the rights of students.
When we complain about those things here, we share information and views, which is good, but by itself does not accomplish the changes we want to see. Our dissatisfaction expressed here needs the follow up action of taking public stands and getting more people to join us on doing that. Ignore the performance stunts by politicians. Don't give them the attention that they want in order to distract us from the issues. Focus on the issues and on building support for them in the general public.
