Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Most of the people that follow me here probably agree with me that trans women should absolutely be allowed to participate in women's sports. But for once, I want to hear from people who disagree with me. Why should trans women be banned from women's sports? What are your concerns? 010

Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 02/10/2025Do you think that your healthcare costs are too high? DJT and Republicans in the House and Senate think that they are not high enough. In fact, Republicans feel so strongly about it that they would rather shut down the government than negotiate 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 28/09/2025Nonviolent resistance deprives the Trump regime of what they want. 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 19/09/2025Here's a thought. Instead of October 14, which is super close to Columbus Day / Indigenous Peoples Day, let's make Charlie Kirk day the 2nd Tuesday of November. 010
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 19/09/2025Here is video of Trump declaring "Antifa" a "terrorist organization." In other words, if you are against Fascism, you are against Trump.

Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 13/09/2025I propose that we flood our social media platforms with messages of love, compassion, and empathy. Starting right here, right now. Post your stories and memes of love and kindness in the comments below. (Negative or hateful comments will be deleted.) #EmpathyAndCompassion #PayItForward 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 13/09/2025I believe that compassion and empathy will ultimately win, but we must stay the course. We must unite. #EmpathyAndCompassion #PayItForward 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 13/09/2025Thank God the killer revealed himself and he wasn't one of us. This should serve as a reminder of why the resistance HAS to remain peaceful. Their weapons are fear and hate. Our weapons are compassion and empathy. #EmpathyAndCompassion #PayItForward 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 13/09/2025An unknown shooter unalived a far-right influencer. The people on the far right blamed the left and called for civil war. Meanwhile, leaders on the left told us that despite our deep philosophical and political differences, "There is no place for violence in America." #EmpathyAndCompassion 300

Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 16/04/2025Why isn't #ImpeachAndRemove a trending topic. Or how about #CongressDoYourJob 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Hey, #CongressDoYourJob #ImpeachAndRemove Hey, everyone else, #ProtestCongress on the 19th. 010
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 14/04/2025The protests on April 19 should not be an exact repeat of April 5. How about finding ways to remind Congress to do its job. #DoYourJob #Impeach 020
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 14/04/2025How to remove a stubborn orange stain: 1. If the stain remover you have isn’t working, you let everyone know that the stain remover isn’t doing its job. 2. Then you replace the ineffective stain remover with one that WILL work for you. 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025I did a quick search for pro-democracy groups in northern IN. I found Michiana Alliance for Democracy. I found an email address and a FB page, but no URL. 230
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025See my other comments of other actions that I think would be more effective than more mass protests. #Boycott big corporations, donate to organizations like PBS & Planned Parenthood, pressure your electeds to do the right thing, support reforms like #RankedChoiceVoting 010
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025If we are SMART about the resistance, we will be more effective and there will be less temptation to resort to violence. 100
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025Learn about reforms, like #RankedChoiceVoting, #BallotInitiatives, #TermLimits, #BetterBallotAccess, #OpenPrimaries, #CampaignFinanceReform, #NationalPopularVoteInterstateCompact. Then educate others about these NON-PARTISAN reforms. 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025Make sure that your voter registration is up-to-date and that you haven't been purged from the system. Find out if the requirements for registering and voting have changed in your area. 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025Join the effort to make our elections free and fair. Support the work of organizations like Indivisible, Represent Us, and the Peoples Cause at the national level, and similar organizations at the state level. Remember, elections still happen at the state level. 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025Continue to put pressure on your electeds, at the state and Federal levels. Show up to town halls when they happen. Voice your opinions when you go. Continue to make phone calls, send emails, and visit their field offices when you can. 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025If you can afford it, give extra financial support to organizations that deserve it, such as Planned Parenthood, PBS, the Trevor Project, the ACLU, and Democracy Docket to name a few. 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025Rather than more protests in the streets, I want to see more financial boycotts of big corporate retailers, like Walmart, Amazon, & Target (because of their policies). I would continue to support Costco. We can find stuff we need second hand, which would help us save $$ in this tanking economy. 010
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025If nothing changes as a result of the protests, resisters are going to get frustrated and cynical. That could result in people giving up, or it could lead to violence. There are other forms of resistance that could be even more impactful. 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025I am in the process of explaining why more public protests on 4/19 are a bad idea and what I think we should do instead. 100
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025April 5 Hands Off was effective because it was the first protest of that magnitude in several years. Having another protest a couple of weeks later will not have the same impact. I doubt that it will get as much media attention, as people will say, "There they go again." 100
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025I have been hearing rumors, that DJT will declare martial law on April 20 and that more protests will take place on April 19. IMO protesting on April 19 would be a huge mistake. Even though they are likely to be peaceful, DJT would love to use it as an excuse when declaring martial law. 100
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025The "Hands Off" protests were also well-timed, being shortly after the tariffs were implemented and the stock market started its free fall. We even got some attention from mainstream media. 010
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025IMO, the protests on April 5 were highly effective. There were thousands of organized protests, attended by millions. Those of us who went felt the camaraderie & expressed our frustration. As far as I know, all of the protests that day were 100% peaceful, as they should be. 1000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 07/04/2025Remember, our true enemies are the oligarchs that pit working class people against each other, to distract us from how they (the oligarchs) are screwing us over. To defeat them, and restore our democratic republic, we must work together. 8/8 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 07/04/20257. Whatever you do, avoid being rude and insulting to MAGAs (even if they are rude to you.) That gets us nowhere. In fact, it "proves" to them that the left is "bad." Refer to step 6. 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 07/04/20256. If you find yourself talking to a crazy cult member who does not listen to reason, they just repeat far-right propaganda, or they are just plain rude, skip steps 1-5. Tell them to have a nice day and walk away. 6/8 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 07/04/20255. Talk about non-partisan grassroots organizations that are trying to eliminate corruption and make our government work for us, hardworking citizens. Like The Peoples Cause, Represent Us, and (in NY state) Unite NY. There are more, but those are some examples. 5/8 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 07/04/20254. Then talk about non-partisan reforms like #RankedChoiceVoting, #TermLimits, #OpenPrimaries, #BetterBallotAccess, and #VoterBallotInitiatives. 4/8 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 07/04/20253. When you talk to MAGAS, talk about how the middle class has gotten screwed. How our "sick care" system is broken. We pay more than any other developed country for worse care. It's hard for so many hardworking people to retire. They should not have to live paycheck to paycheck. 3/8 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 07/04/20252. Talk about WHY the system is corrupt. Politicians (on both sides) are "bought." The two-party duopoly is being reinforced by the spoiler effect. Aging electeds are no longer effective. Corrupt corporate media favors billionaires and large corporations. 2/8 000
Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 07/04/2025What should we say to MAGAs (or cynics that choose not to vote) when we meet them and the subject of politics comes up: 1, Agree that there is corruption in the Democratic party as well as the Republican party because the SYSTEM is corrupt. 1/8 710
