Hi there! You can read this or skip down to the fun pictures and words.
I’ve been thinking that huge changes can happen in just minutes. In January 2021 we were literally five minutes from losing our democracy and gaining the Donald Trump Circus Executive Dictatorship with the rag-tag Oath Keepers and other groups working to protect him from “the free-spirited we.” And do his dirty work, like VP “hang Mike Pence.”
We are already pretty much ruled by a plutocracy (wealthy/corporate dictatorships) at the moment. It is rather frightening to realize that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg. and Steve Jobs’ Ghost popping up and telling us how it is going to be. Musk had to buy Twitter to let his friend, Donald Trump, back onto the site.
But as we watch the Ukrainians fight for their freedom, their Democracy, we are reminded how valuable a Democracy is and how to keep it. I believe we have forgotten, and just assumed it would always be there for us. But alas, it is not automated. Fortunately, we do not need a war to do it. Just honest elections.
We have 180 days to get our act together, meaning going enthusiastic to inspire others to sign their voting ballots or offer to plant campaign signs in their yards. But not pushy. That is not necessary. We can create coffee groups linked to whatever flavor of coffee you prefer. I can see a motto for all of them:
‘This Coffee Holder Is Hot!’
Have fun with it!
That is far better than Putin’s rape toddler troops. (True) No variety of media, just the state-owned TV propaganda network, i.e. Fox. Hold up even a blank white sign in Moscow’s Red Square and go to jail for 15 years for protesting! (True)
In minutes we will lose the right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. Even more quickly, we will lose our right to have birth control. Gone!
Fortunately, we know that in one single day, we can reverse it. My book Three White Lions is a fun fictional how-to want local, state, and national politicians manual disguised in a lovely Magic Realism dress. We can choose those who will:
Respect Strong Women
Protect our Rights to Birth Control and Abortions (instead of wealthy grey-haired 80-year-old white men)
Believes in breaking up the mega tech companies and condensed Baby Formula companies, as it should have been done long ago. So mothers aren’t seen crying in the formula aisles.
End food companies from manufacturing in China, etc. Bring business home so it is accessible. Then, no bottlenecks.
Listen to what we need.
Like that, only moreso. Okay, enough of that. Let’s go!
Be safe, be well (2nd boosters here!), you and yours
