But are we to do. Protest: we are. Writing to our elected officials: we are. Speaking out at townhalls: we are. These things are not making a difference! We need leadership and organizing. Media sources are dispursed and just telling us what is happening but not what to do. What more can we do? We political and military leaders to take a stand and stop this. The media needs to be out there giving the formula to turn the tide. Everyone knows what it is, but no one wants to say or do it. Why? Tomorrow will be too late.
We will not turn the tide in a day, nor a week, not even a month, maybe not even in a year. We need to be PERSISTENT and do it over and over. No white shining knight is going to save us. We need to keep doing all this and encouraging others to. Be that thorn in their side.
Look how long it took the protests against the Vietnam war had to go on until it snowballed and attracted others. Same as the civil rights. And even more recently remember how the Tea Party started as a grassroots movement and grew pulling the moderate GOP party in the direction where it is now. We need to be persistent non stop.
You ARE making a difference...........You ARE the pot of water on the stove being heated.........To bring the water to boil takes time, heat energy and patience........Do NOT dispair......The fascists want you to give up but that is not an option.....The roed to victory is not easy.......Never give up..........
TV media plays it safe. Substack, Bluesky and YouTube has huge voices and audiences. If only they would all keep reminding their viewers of both Indivisible and 50501. The organize and announce rallies, marches and protests all over the country. I recently moved to a different state with no connections and simply googled “protest near me” to find them. They will keep alerting you to upcoming events.
Agreed! I think all of the Democrats should form groups specific to one task, like a group on immigration, another on tariffs, etc. They should be raising hell 24/7. We elected them to their jobs, and they need to buck up!
I personally fear that the numbers at protests and such are starting to dwindle. There were several April 5th protests near where I live. Now when I look for April 19th protests, which were hopefully going to be even bigger, there's only a few. And I live near a major city. I worry that because all of these protests/writing and calling campaigns/town halls aren't working as visibly or quickly as we hoped, that people are starting to give up. I really hope I'm just being pessimistic.
I too often feel that way yet we should continue to do all that we can. Write to those you follow and suggest they promote those organizing activities. Ask their advice…what else can be done other than paying for their words. Not everyone can afford to pay for multiple subscriptions. I appreciate being informed yet it’s beginning to feel like an echo chamber.

Have you seen Bernie and AOC's crowds? I'm 77 and I'm not giving up!
