Friends—
Fascism never storms in with a parade. It seeps quietly, through the cracks of apathy and the silence of those who look away. History has shown us that tyranny doesn’t rise only because of its loudest cheerleaders—it grows when good people decide to let someone else will step in. But this time, we can stop it. This pattern has repeated itself throughout history, but we have the power to stop it.
Despite Donald Trump's presidency, let's be clear: he is no leader. Nearly 80% of people who call America home did not vote for him, and we cannot let his regime define us.
No one can silence us from speaking out against racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, antisemitism, homophobia, misogyny, sexism, ageism, ableism, sizeism, elitism, transphobia, misogynoir, and bigotry!
No one can take away our resolve to demand accountability from our leaders to uphold the people’s will.
And no one can extinguish our movement for progress and empowerment for everyone who calls America home to thrive.
This is our moment to build a resilient and inclusive movement capable of resisting the ambitions of the wealthy, powerful, and privileged few who seek to strangle our rights, freedoms, rule of law, and democracy with greed and corruption.
We will continue to demand accountability. We will continue to demand leaders who honor the will of the people—not the whims of the wealthy or the power-hungry.
This is our time—to rise together, to build a movement grounded in courage, compassion, and collective power. A movement that stands tall against those who would destroy democracy for profit or pride.
So I ask you—will you stand with us?
Will you advocate for integrity, decency, and justice?
Now is the time to act. Let’s show the world what it means when people power unites—when everyday Americans refuse to surrender our country to corruption. Together, we will shape a future of freedom, fairness, and hope for all.

Here’s How We Stand Up to Fascism
Hope
Hope is a powerful weapon against fascism, serving as both a shield and a rallying cry in the face of fear and oppression. While fascism thrives on division, despair, and apathy, hope inspires unity, action, and resilience. It fuels our belief in a better future, reminding us that change is possible when we come together with determination and courage. Hope empowers us to envision a society built on equality, justice, and freedom, motivating us to take meaningful steps to protect these values. By cultivating hope in our communities, we counteract the darkness of fascism with light, proving that love, solidarity, and persistence can overcome even the most daunting challenges.
Respect
Respect is a formidable weapon against fascism, countering its foundation of hatred and dehumanization with dignity and inclusivity. Fascism seeks to divide and conquer by pitting communities against one another, but respect bridges those divides, fostering empathy and understanding. When we listen to each other, honor diverse perspectives, and uphold the inherent worth of every individual, we dismantle the narratives that fuel authoritarian ideologies. Respect strengthens our resolve to protect the rights of all, reminding us that democracy thrives when we treat each other as equals. By leading with respect, we create a society where collaboration and compassion overpower fear and division, rendering fascism powerless in the face of unity.
Unity
Unity is one of the most powerful weapons against fascism, as it dismantles the divide-and-conquer tactics that authoritarian regimes rely on to maintain power. Fascism thrives on sowing division, exploiting differences, and isolating communities, but unity creates an unbreakable bond that transcends those divides. When people from all walks of life stand together, recognizing that an attack on one group is an attack on all, they form a collective force too strong to ignore. Unity amplifies our voices, strengthens our movements, and ensures that no one fights alone. It reminds us that our shared commitment to freedom, justice, and democracy is far greater than the fear and hate that fascism seeks to spread. Together, we can build a future where unity prevails, ensuring that democracy is not just defended but strengthened.

Fascism is hate, and the only way to defeat it and put it to an end, is the hatred of it. I do believe that WWll proved that point. Wishing and hoping, praying and expecting won't solve the hate of a fascist. They are irrational narcissistic people without a soul. So what do we resort to? I suggest a none violent, actively sustained effort in using their own tactics against them. The issue behind their contempt, is nothing more than the gaining of power, and the theft of the nations wealth. Through their wealth they feel the power. Counter that, and the win is made against them.
The tactic against them is the cutting off of current and forseeable future wealth. How to. The use of the financial weapon that 98% of Amercans process, time and labor. Cut that off in a proactive consertive and sustained activity of simply not participating in their abusive use of us for their desires. Us being the US Laborforce. Corporate profits absolutely depends on us, whether we be the current, future, retired, and unemployed Laborforce. We provide the production, distribution, and consumption, and therefore we hold the power in our hands over corporate profits, but not just those, we hold the power over the US GDP and GNP. A dramatic change in the availability of labor can and will start those crashing towards the bottom. It's a counter attack on their threat of a corporate induced depression on us. It's an attack on their corporate induced inflation, by reducing our consumption of goods to those of our daily essential needs. The air traffic controllers are already showing the effectiveness of that, by merely calling in sick.
There's the backlash I get from some, that the low income working class Americans can't afford to lose a day of work. That's true. However they can slowdown their productivity, and with no one else willing to replace them, they now have the power over their employers. It's a organized collective action. All for one, one for all.
We have been in a Class War for the past 45 years, that started with a letter, come Lewis Powell Memo ten years earlier. The result was the adoption of Milton Friedmans "Trickle-down Economics Theory" as the US economic system under Ronald Reagan. That system eventually instutionalized Citizens United, aka money equals personhood in not just our elections, but a bigger corruption of our representation in government. Yes, the Republican party supports the fascism of the Trump Regime and Heritage Foundation, but the bigger issue is the Class War that's put them all in place, including the six Republican Fascist sitting on the Supreme Court.
A simple understanding of what fascism is as described by it's inventor Benito Mussolini is, the corporate and state consolidation as the power of governance, and the control over the mass population. The Powell Memo was based on that. It has evolved to include the the mass population control ideologies of Russias Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin. All of that has evolved into our two party corporate duopoly system of government. A couple of examples that are plain to see in retrospect here in the United States, are: Lenin, "The easiest way to control a population is to distort and deny them the knowledge of their own history." Salin: "The easiest way to control a population, is through State induced random acts of violence, that force the population to, for fear of their own safety, run to the State for protection." It's not all that difficult to see those tactics being used on us in this Class War. In the art of war, the first imparitive is to know your enemies whether they be from without, or within.
Within, we are up against 813 billionaires and those they have financial control over in corporate ownership and public service. The in our service, sould be Public Servants to We The People, and not to those with the most money. The saying that "Money is the source of all evil" applies here. The person's in our country who wish to subjugate and destroy as collateral damages to their profiteering off our lives time, have taken to themselves the creed to abuse everyone of the Seven Social Deadly Sins.
Let's get together on the bottom line here. That being the weapons we possess to lay a counter attack against this Class War being waged on us. Number one: Do we understand who the enemies within are, and what, and how much are we willing to sacrifice over a short period of time in not just our defense, but more importantly, victory in this war. Two: Are we willing to set aside our propagandized differences in persuit of victory? Three: In doing so, we build a consolidated collective within the so-called class system, that has reduced us from humans, to nothing more than the working class citizens. Personally I find that discrimination in relationship to the Constitution's Preamble. Three: Are we all willing to be generous with what we have and can obtain, inorder to keep everyone in the fight? Four: Are we all willing to sustain our fight towards liberty, prosperity, in the persuit of happiness? Five: Do we all agree that the only good government, and subsequently governance, is one that as it's first and only object, is the care and happiness of we humans, and not our continued destruction under a corporatized State government? If we can agree on those, victory over the repression of voice and prosperity is ours. To this, I see no other action to be taken than a General Labor and Consumption Strike. It is in my not so humble opinion, the best counter attack for us. It's our none participation in all that makes this country under the unfettered capitalistic control to exist in domination over US, the people, the humans, that make the whole thing go 'round. Without us, they are just a bunch of savages feeding off one another.
We all need to get on board. If not the consequences are far worse than those of our working class ancestors who had to deal with the Great Depression. The cult of billionaires are already talking about mass round ups of our working class homeless, and putting them in forced labor camps. As wage slavery, corporate induced inflation, and tech bro automation continues, we all will be eligible prey, no matter our current social status. All it will take is the participation of middle management down to say no more.
