We aren’t defeated...

The cheats and liars are in control now. But not forever.

It’s not over yet.

We aren’t defeated yet....they will push hard to unravel more and more worker’s rights, and stifle the mechanisms that can challenge them. Unfortunately, many poor people will continue to vote for selfish rich people at the expense of other poor people. We will resist. We must resist.

We will not be cowed, This is where the new line is drawn.

What we can all do to help…. is to not give up.

We need to remain enlightened and informed and continue to share this... carry on…

To look around to notice we are surrounded by beauty,

We aren’t defeated yet.

Let's celebrate and strengthen communities.

Positivity and organising ourselves… community strength and what humanity we have in common keeps us strong together...more than alone.

The system is definitely fucked. Neutered court system. On the one hand, Trump's republicans want to control all the levers of governmental power. On the other they have created a popular base by playing on the notion that government is innately evil and must not be trusted. The contradiction was made manifest in two of Trump’s statements on the pandemic: on the one hand that he has “total authority”, and on the other that “I don’t take responsibility at all”. Caught between authoritarian and anarchic impulses, he is incapable of coherence.

There are very powerful interests who demand “freedom” in order to do as they like with the environment, society and the economy. They have infused a very large part of American culture with

the belief that “freedom” is literally more important than life. My freedom to own assault weapons trumps your right not to get shot at school.

We live in a pantomime democracy where they like us to think we have a choice when we really really don’t.

Except to strengthen and celebrate our communities.
