America, It’s Time To Prove Your Better Self

Zero days to waste

***Please take out a membership to support the light of truth.***

How are you all doing? Feeling alright?

Good.

Shoutout to LB and HiFi for taking my calls.

Okay, we have zero days to waste.

On the ballot in November is Democracy vs fascism — Trump is a rapist, who attempted a coup.

Everything the GOP does has Putin’s hand in it — the Kremlin writes their scripts.

But it’s been eight years since we allowed our own inherent misogyny to defeat us.

A MISOGYNY SELF-INOCULATION KIT: PREPARING FOR DIGITAL GUERRILLA WARFARE — The Curious Case of Douglass Mackey, Russian Propaganda Superspreader

So America, it’s time to prove your better self.

It’s time to overcome misogyny and racism, it’s time to cherish strong women, and all people of all colors.

It’s time to prove we can rise above the wedging of narrative warfare, which is actual war.

Diversity is our strength.

Diversity is a threat to Putin’s regime.

Democracy is our strength.

Democracy is a threat to Putin’s regime.

Putin Needs Democracies to Fail

I ask you each to have a plan.

What’s your plan?

Phone banking, canvassing, postcarding? Old school tactics that still work brilliantly. Supporting democratic candidates, independent journalists, historians, authors, filmmakers who uphold democratic values?

We have an opportunity to prove to the world that we will not accept a fascist America.

We have an opportunity to prove to the world that we believe in Democratic principles.

We are imperfect, but we can improve.

Join me in fighting like hell to defend the US from attacks within and without.

Zero days to waste.
