If you don't vote in every single election... you're complicit. If you don't vote, you're exemplifying gross privilege. If you don't vote, you're giving up the only power we have left. If you don't vote, you are the problem... not the solution. If you don't vote, you bought into the propaganda that your vote doesn't count. If you don't vote... you suck. If you don't vote, you're hurting innocent people and that is your karma to pay.

Register to vote. Vote in every election. Go with friends... make it a party. Democracy depends on you. Otherwise we all suffer.

#DavidBrooks makes noise about how many people are moving to #redstates from #bluestates. He is foolish to assume that those people will vote #Republican, especially after experiencing the lack of #services, the horrendous #education, and the erosion of #civilrights happening in red states. #Arizona was reliably red, and then millions of people moved there. It has since passed through purple to blue.

"'Organizers said two-thirds of participants who signed up live in suburban, small town or rural areas. That's a 40% increase over last time in protesters from outside big cities. The left-leaning protests with the Revolutionary-era call against President Donald Trump as a would-be monarch and authoritarian had the broadest geographic reach of any single-day protest in the United States in more than a half-century [that's an indirect reference to Earth Day 1970].'"

"'This time, there were more events scheduled − 3,300 versus 2,700 − and larger crowds were reported in some places, boosted in part by opposition to the war in Iran. In a nation with a population approaching 349 million, the participation of 8 million people means that more than 1 of every 50 U.S. residents joined a No Kings rally.'"

Rachel Maddow looks at the nationwide (and worldwide) No Kings protests and notes that in the US, they were a "kind of a red state spring happening. More signups, more planned protests against Trump in red states and in places specifically even within red states that voted for Trump."

"The weakening of public schools and the devaluing of teachers and the dismissal of the Liberal Arts are part of a deliberate effort to reshape America into a place where fewer people can think critically or organize collectively or question the power of those in power."

"Being your true self is downright heroic. Just opening your mouth in a book club or business lunch takes courage and strength. And tremendous endurance. Swimming against the tide is exhausting. It would be so easy to stop paddling and be carried away.

I believe resistance, however timid and small, is also more consequential there. Courage is contagious."

Holly Berkley Fletcher reports on her recent week in Oklahoma, "one of the reddest of red states." She was impressed by the courage and conviction of people she met there who are resisting Trump. She writes,

"Resisting tyranny feels great here [in DC]. To be honest, it’s pretty easy. In truth, I’ve never felt more energized.

But in Oklahoma? It’s a daily slog."

During the #NoKings protests across the #UnitedStates - even in #RedStates such as #Tennessee - it was clear that there are many more of us #normies than there are #MAGA #cult members.

Additionally, there are only 2 *types* of #MAGA cult members; #DonaldTheDeplorable #Trump the *leader* of the cult, and millions of replicants of this guy ⬇️ #IvanRaitlin , a cult *follower* with #TrumpDerangementSyndrome. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/watch-former-dc-police-officer-get-escorted-out-jack-smith-hearing-after-fiery-clash

Interesting that they mainly appear to be located in #TheSouth & in #RedStates.

Is this just a coincidence or are there specific reasons why this is the case?🤔

Now I understand why #BananaRepublicans in #Tennessee and other #RedStates were so eager to end #CommonCore #education standards, despite marked improvements in standardized test scores measured by #PISA. (Gains were *historic* in Tennessee: https://www.tn.gov/former-governor-haslam/news/2013/11/7/tennessee-students-the-fastest-improving-in-the-nation.html).

Re-election of twice-impeached and 34-count felon #DonaldTrump *after* #AmericanCarnage 1.0 AND a #FailedCoupAttempt required a #MAGA base that could easily be bamboozled by #Trump #MATH.

Look! He lowered price of gas by 30,000%!

@SocraticEthics The #UnitedStates had to ‘make nice’ with #Belarus because the principal soure of #potash for #American #farmers has been #Canada which has its #ElbowsUp 💪 and is selling to other buyers in retaliation to #TrumpTaxes on #Canadian exports into the #USA. https://www.fertilizerdaily.com/20250224-who-wins-in-the-potash-poker-game-played-by-belarus-canada-russia-and-the-u-s/

Red State Workers Could Lose Out on Disability Benefits as Trump Administration Rewrites Eligibility Rules

• No Age Preference: Until now, Social Security disability benefits got easier to qualify for as a person reached 50 and above. The Trump plan would end that.

• New Work World: The administration contends that injured laborers have more access to technology and more nonphysical job options than in the past.

• Red State Blues: Under the plan, millions — particularly in states that voted for Trump — could find it more difficult to qualify for disability benefits in the future."
