Let’s be an example. I’m in Hawaii reading more of Rivera Sun’s wonderful AriAra coming of age series about a young woman who fights back using the way between. Nonviolence. Neither aggression or disappearing. I don’t know what Kanye West posted and I’m not going to look. A 250 year old democracy is worth fighting for. Kanye West and the oglibros are not. Case closed.

OK, what’s the version of this tailored to our MAGA fellow and sister citizens? We are going to need them as they will need us. About damn time….

I come from a maga family. This is a hard one. The MAGA right has been pulled into beleiving incorrect messages. it should not be the goal to move them to the left, or have them become liberal. They are set in their ways. (They are also completely ignorant- likely unaware of all of the destruction that is happening currently.) Them being ignorant means there is vast potential to educate. In this urgent moment, though, we must define Trump like we did more in 2016. That he is not a regular Republican- that he is extreme. We must make this a moral issue - people then will feel alienated if not going against Trump. It needs to become a social, cultural movement. We must unite on similar values, and embrace love above all else to preserve our democracy. I'd love to DM about this if you'd like!

Jessica, I always appreciate your videos. I am so glad you are posting on substance. We will be an example with the leadership of so many brilliant people like our Indivisible founders and you! Keep it up, Jess. Keep telling it like it is with no sugar coating. While what is happening to our country scares and upsets me, I push forward. I move forward and we will win. We have no choice but to win. Thank you again, Jess. I really appreciate you.

Jess, I subscribe to everything I can afford. I write postcards. 10 a day now for Susan Crawford. Post endlessly and make 6 phone calls a day. Please know, I just can't afford to subscribe to anymore right now.

Check out The Baltic Way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_Way

In this demonstration, 2 million people (of a total population of 8 million) held hands over three Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) 430 miles worth of people.

Check out the fourth paragraph :)
