I have a group of women that I am part of. We have an email chain to share things and ways we can do something meaningful. Let me know if you want more info. It does help to know you are not alone.
Really appreciate your work! My attempt at a little pep talk: I keep thinking this experience we are in now as a country will ultimately be the Phoenix rising from the ashes. Yes, there will be destruction and harm but something good, maybe better, will rise. In order to appreciate and protect what we have, we may have to lose, or almost lose, some of it. This is the true test of any/all guardrails. What will hold? What new protections do we need to put in place once sane governance is reinstalled? All who share info, resist, make calls, file lawsuits, vote against, etc are part of this rising, this history. Feel despair, then get back in the fight. This is what we're called to do.
Unfortunately, China and Russia are posed to take our place in aiding countries to earn their trust while we diddle with suits and pundits telling about all the illegal baloney. We have to be as strong as the Republicans, only we have morals to abide by, which doesn't bother them. If we do not stop this bs now, we may lose more than anyone can fix. I hope some Vets decide to show the way to balancing the scales. I'll be with them!
One more thing. Make sure your state legislators are reviewing and signing the Interstate Compact to abolish the electoral college. You can read about it here and check your state's status. This is doable for 2028. https://www.nationalpopularvote.com/written-explanation
Emily, I am also interested in your group. Tiffany, we appreciate you so much. There are not enough words to commend you on your spunk, energy and boldness and lighting a fire when an issue needs it. I have dropped emails protesting the 10 commandments bill, wanting them posted in our school but, her emails bounce. Or she is rejecting them. So, the Republicans are up to racist bs in Montana.
First, THANK YOU. I write a political blog (WhenWeWerentLooking.com) & also for ForwardKentucky.com. But my kids are grown. It is exhausting, trying to spread Truth and Facts! I think that is the best we can do right now, as the Trump Cult mentality is virtually impenetrable. As Steven Hassan (Cult of Trump book) says, these people have to come to realize they drank the Kool-Aid on their own; I think this will happen when some snippet of Truth conflicts with their worldview begotten from Fox et al; then they might experience Cognitive Dissonance, a crack in the Cult wall. I am sharing your info, so keep it coming! We will persist, and that's how we will win!
Could you please direct me to a group of women who are uprising against the evil man in the White House and his Republican cult followers?

How likely do you think that will happen in red states?
Probably not but we can get to 270 without them.
Here's a link to map of states already ratifying. https://www.commoncause.org/florida/work/national-popular-vote/
We have 209 of the necessary 270 electoral votes. My own state of VA is in the review process. Dems hold the legislature. We have 13 EV.

Thank you Kimberly. And I agree with you. This part especially: “these people have to come to realize they drank the Kool-Aid on their own”
My biggest fear is that Trump is following not only Project 2025 but also the Orban playbook: https://www.vox.com/politics/398068/trump-musk-power-grab-hungary-orban?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dhfacebook&utm_content=app.dashsocial.com/voxdotcom/library/media/498581508 (if you have trouble viewing because of Paywall, switch to Reader View)
What will end us is these 2 things:
1) Using military force to clamp down on protestors.
2) Manipulating news media, to suppress Truth and Facts. That has begun:

We must amplify Truth whenever and wherever we can!
I have some particular insight into the media component that I will share soon. Ultimately, yes, these two elements are already in motion.
😬😢
I’m worried
