Most 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?

If only Liberals are in the Epstein files, why are Mike Johnson and the Trump administration so desperate to keep the Epstein files hidden?

Do 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

Nonviolent resistance deprives the Trump regime of what they want.

Here'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.

Here is video of Trump declaring "Antifa" a "terrorist organization." In other words, if you are against Fascism, you are against Trump. He is basically admitting that he is a "dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism..." youtu.be/psSV-oHTTD0?...

I 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

I believe that compassion and empathy will ultimately win, but we must stay the course. We must unite. #EmpathyAndCompassion #PayItForward

Thank 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

An 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

Who thinks that Lisa Murkowski was threatened with more than just being primaried? She's from Alaska. She knows she will be primaried no matter what.

The 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

How 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.

See 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

If we are SMART about the resistance, we will be more effective and there will be less temptation to resort to violence.

Learn about reforms, like #RankedChoiceVoting, #BallotInitiatives, #TermLimits, #BetterBallotAccess, #OpenPrimaries, #CampaignFinanceReform, #NationalPopularVoteInterstateCompact. Then educate others about these NON-PARTISAN reforms.

Join 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.

Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025
Continue 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.

If 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.

Rather 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.

Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025
If 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.

I 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.

Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025
April 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."

Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025
I 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.

Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025
The "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.

Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 08/04/2025
IMO, 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.

Remember, 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

7. 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.

6. 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

Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 07/04/2025
5. 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 · 07/04/2025
4. Then talk about non-partisan reforms like #RankedChoiceVoting, #TermLimits, #OpenPrimaries, #BetterBallotAccess, and #VoterBallotInitiatives. 4/8

Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 07/04/2025
3. 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 · 07/04/2025
2. 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

Joyceymay (she/her) @joyceymay.bsky.social · 07/04/2025
What 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

NYC could be heading toward a “spoiler” problem in its general election for mayor. The solution? #RankedChoiceVoting in general elections – like the city already uses for primaries. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
