... but the number of organizations and people who are immorally choosing to self-censor, settle, or otherwise give in to a psychopathic bully who doesn't have a legal leg to stand on is very, very discouraging.

Somehow, we must focus on progress -- and when an individual or organization fails us, make the level of our disappointment/rage/fear for the future of the nation, crystal clear.

Such pressure can work. And we have had successes.

I just wish more of those who are choosing surrender would recognize that surrendering to this regime does nothing but encourage ever greater corruption, illegality, baseless claims, and escalating crimes against sacred values.

They are committing crimes against the third estate, which is essential to inform We the People. They are committing crimes against the processes and institutions by which our will is measured. They are corrupting and committing crimes against the institutions that make our will manifest.

Trump and his cronies are doing everything in their power to cut the will of the American people out of the equation. They will not succeed. The people are saying NO. They are stepping up in so many ways. And we are seeing the regime weakened as patriotic forces push back. I have no doubt that we will ultimately send these criminals packing and build back better.

However, the task would certainly be supercharged if more of the organizations who are surrendering without a fight would chose instead to step up -- if not on their own behalf (because they will pay a SERIOUS price) but on the behalf of the people (i.e., every person within our borders) that they are directly, or indirectly dependent upon for their profits. It is up to us to help them see the error of their ways!
