We are fighting for the soul of our nation, the heart of our democracy, for the here, now, and beyond. 💙✊ When rich men look sad and ruffians dance and leap, we will know the death and fall of "kings" is nye. #ResistLOUDLY #RebelCONFIDENTLY #DefyFIRMLY #DivestFULLY #ABOLISHtrumpREGIME

I would rather it say "Who aren't you" in general, but yeah. We are stronger BECAUSE of our DIVERSITY, not in spite of it. EQUITY IMPROVES independence by ensuring everyone has what they need to succeed. INCLUSION is a fundamental HUMAN RIGHT. This abomination of a regime has got to go.

It is abundantly clear that the rebellion is up to us. We the people need to make this happen. I am reading a book with great info for protecting yourself while rebelling and protesting, as well as being an active bystander and ally. I will be sharing some key points in the coming posts.

I wrote this, it's called Unprecedented Undoing and helped me put into words what's happening. But really, please don't sugar coat- things are shitty, describe them as such. ✊💙 #ResistLOUDLY #RebelCONFIDENTLY #DefyFIRMLY #DivestFULLY #ABOLISHtrumpREGIME

We are in a time of unprecedented upheaval
Unbalanced equilibrium, unlawful dismissals
Unelected oligarch undoing democracy

We are in a time of unilateral impositions
Executive orders stripping freedoms, illegal disenfranchisement
Unprecedented demands carried out by the inept and uncaring

We the people are called into unprecedented action
Have the duty enshrined by the founders
To unseat any government undoing our rights.

We are called to stop this unprecedented undoing and save our democracy.

Take to the Streets🔥✊💙 Enjoy another rebellion based creative flow from yours truly. See you there! 🤟 #ResistLOUDLY #RebelCONFIDENTLY #DefyFIRMLY #DivestFULLY #ABOLISHtrumpREGIME

Take to the Streets🔥✊💙

We take to the streets with souls ablaze,
Demand a change in these darkened days
Strike the match, ignite the flame of liberty.

We take to the streets where truths convene,
Our patriotic duty, sharp and keen.
Fight for rights returned and justice upheld.

We take to the streets where hearts collide,
Our rage and passion reflects a surging tide.
To wrestle the power from their greedy hand.

We take to the streets where chants ascend
Diverse in our lives but united voices transcend.
Expose their hatred and speak truth in our cries.

We take to the streets to reclaim our nation with iron will
To refuse their calls for silence and chains that hold us still.
We the people take to the streets because we must.

After that absolute shit show in the Oval Office today, this Harvey Milk quote felt appropriate. Ukraine is not for sale. #AbolishTrumpRegion #StandWithUkraine

Harvey Milk resist 1972
"It takes no compromising to give people their rights. It takes no money to respect the individual. It takes no political deal to give people freedom. It takes no survey to remove repression."

Several of these stood out- especially Oskar Schindler. My takeaway is a call to use privilege to fight for those without the same privilege. This feels especially relevant with the removal of civil rights protections for our #trans loved ones, among other current atrocities to #AbolishTrumpRegime

Black background with white text. A quote: Those who progress to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation... Want rain without thunder and lightning. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. - Frederick Douglas

I am not a public speaker, just a 40 year old suburban mom and public school special educator. I am passionate about advocating for my students, my rights, and my country. This sort of post is outside my comfort zone, but the time for embracing ALL the tools for resistance and rebellion is NOW. 1/4

@aoc.bsky.social is right. The whole fucking regime has to go, but she's right. #AbolishTrumpRegime

Picture of AOC with text and quote "He can stay, he can go. He can be impeached or voted out. But removing Trump will not remove the infrastructure of an entire party that embraced him; the dark money that funded him, the online radicalization that drummed his army; nor the racism he amplified and reanimated."
