To add to Stephanies question "What Do We Do?"

A fact-based media system is absolutely necessary.

Staying informed is crucial. I must admit, watching his address last night left me questioning some of the "facts" presented. His presentation style can be persuasive, making you doubt your own understanding - just as Stephanie pointed out. 🤦🏻‍♀️

This is key: those negatively impacted by Trump's executive orders will be "triggered" by a need. They may not understand why their benefits were cut, premiums increased, electric bills rose, or parents' assisted living costs went up. We need to be there for them, with empathy rather than saying "I told you so." Our goal is to draw the connection back to the GOP, neighbor to neighbor. Direct them to fact based media sources.

Thank you. Very clear and very direct - just what we need now. Nuance is the enemy. "I told you so" is now the enemy. We're way past that. More than ever, our lives are on the line.

Simple messages, indelible images. We are "We the people" - and we're standing together to save ourselves. We'll sort the other stuff out once the rule of law returns.
