I'm down here in Salmon and have just started a women's group called Women Who Care. We provide each other support and coordinate efforts to resist. We are a safe group, and will be working behind the scenes and not publicly. Started with 12, and now we're up to 30 after just two meetings. Our list is quite long and I expect more and more to join in. Pretty good for Salmon! Tonight we are all attending a school board meeting, the purpose of which is to discuss a HS English teacher displaying a pride flag in his classroom next to the US and Idaho flags. It's been there for four years. Now all of a sudden it's turning children trans and there is a bit of an uproar about it. We will show up in solidarity and many of us will speak with facts and intelligence.. Needless to say, the teachers are all in with us. That's what I'm doing! Thank you for all you do!!
When I tell you I teared up when I read “the teachers are with us.” ❤️❤️❤️❤️ That is what we need. To look around and see who is being attacked and lock arms with them. Thank you Karen. I look forward to hearing more about Women Who Care.
And this is ONE of the Worse for everyone in America - including those that voted for this they are also going to bet burned and burned very badly!!!!
Do NOT be distracted by the Felon King and his smoke and mirrors with chaos. His MAIN goal is to RIP OFF ($$$$$$$$$$$$$.....) EVERY SINGLE American - including YOU and YOUR FAMILY and ALSO those that voted for him - except his billionaire buddies - and begin the BIGGEST FINANCIAL RAPE of America EVER! "The Oligarch’s Mission: Plunder our tax dollars by privatizing our government and selling-off agencies and public assets to the highest bidder, gutting regulations for corporations and rolling back protections for working people; and slashing taxes for the rich by cutting public programs." This from the Patriotic Millionaires: Over the last few decades, America has witnessed wealth funneling upward at such an extreme rate that a small group of billionaires now own more wealth than the entire bottom half of the country. Contrary to popular belief, this was not the inevitable result of “market forces” but rather deliberate policy choices made by both political parties. Three basic ideas – taxing the rich, paying the people, and spreading the power – hold the key to undoing the damage that half a century of failed “trickle-down” economic policies have wrought on our economy and ensuring equal political representation for all Americans. Inequality is bad for everyone. It’s certainly bad for the millions of workers at the bottom struggling day in and day out to make ends meet, but contrary to what you might think, it’s also bad for millionaires like us. History has not been kind to societies – and particularly the wealthy people in those societies – that have let inequality spiral unchecked. We don’t want history to repeat itself.
I live in a high-rise senior and disabled apartment building, 14 stories in approximately 150 to 160 people. It is not a care facility, yet we find ourselves taking care of each other anyway. I have started a study group for project 2025 in which we will take it one section at a time as you did. We will start with housing and insurance issues because they are the ones that could be most immediately devastating to the resident here probably a little more than half of the people here have housing, subsidies, state, and federal. almost everyone in the building realize on Medicare and many have Medicaid.
We plan to network with others who are willing and able to resist inhumane policies and practices outlined in Project 2025. We plan to support organizations already fighting and network with other mini-communities to broaden and deepen the network.
We've had a discussion with our two oldest about how to be an open, safe space for their friends and to listen for cues for kids who need help (i.e. they're being targeted for by anti-immigration policies or anti-lgbtq movements). Our home is a safe and anonymous place, and we've kept the Kamala signs up in our windows as a dog whistle to anyone who is afraid.
Wow! You are ahead of the game. I still get comments on the HARRIS bumper sticker on my rollator from people especially students from the University of Utah which is across the street from my apartment. I think your sign is a great idea.
My son is 26--and he was deeply disturbed and is deeply afraid for his friends, his family, his job, his future. So, kids of all ages can have trouble knowing how to process what has happened, how to cope and find resilience. We need to exercise the skills ourselves, so we can teach them to our young people.
We have been stock piling necessities for over 10 years. We have solid coverage with savings in various forms and have food and essentials for our families. We raise our own food and meat for the most part and we have maintained our home so there are no huge projects. We have books on every subject in case our education system is taken over by the right. I will continue my resistance of the horrors I anticipate by writing and communicating with people who are wise, like you. Thank you again for the encouragement.
I am checking on friends and making sure I know my neighbors. I am inviting neighbors over for tea once a week to make sure we know the needs of each other and can begin to meeting them. I'm not seeing as much reciprocation because I live in Connecticut and I think many here are complacent that in a blue state "we're safe" from experiencing our freedoms being take away in our schools or in our communities. I know enough about 1930's Germany and also about the wording of many recent executive orders to know prying rights out of everyone's hands is exactly where this is all going.
I also think the needs are going to look different than we think they will or can understand in this moment. I did not have the imagination for the horrific things Trump would do in his first term, and this time will be no different. Creating that network now while people are a little complacent is the smart thing to do.

My new motto is Thomas Jefferson’s “you get the government you deserve.”

I love that you all take care of each other that way. If you need any help with Project 2025, I’m happy to assist.
Thank you Tiffany. If this group takes off we may do Zoom meetings. Would you be interested?
Absolutely!

I 100% agree.
