Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tom, This is precisely what I have foreseen happening and it is happening day by day. With every outrageous nimcompoop trump decides to place in office in office. I don't think wait and see, or stick our heads in the sand is going to do the trick. I read that a number of State Governments are making resistance plans. If that is true they'd bloody well inform at least some of their citizens what is needed of them to enact that resistence. The main problem in Nazi Germany, there was no organized informed risitance.

Why do you think the Department of Education is #1 on the chopping block? It's budget isn't that large. It's because according to Project 2025 they do not intend to educate, they intend to indoctrinate.

We need a plan that doesn't include wait and see. We have 224 days left and counting.

I have been thinking about that. So many want to engage, but what can we do that matters and how do we organize? I live in NC, where there is now and will be a democratic governor, but otherwise just Republican "legislators" since this state is so gerrymandered.

I am so genuinely sorry for you, Lisa. For States like NC I can think of nothing but staying alive as long as you can or moving to a liberal progressive State if possible.

Boss Berger rules the budget since 2010 starving public education of necessary funds! His son, little Phil, has a seat on the State’s stench court guaranteeing Papa Boss gets his way!

Brava Fay! 2 dem governors

so far have protection plans

for their states and I see Los

Angeles became a sanctuary

city today. But what about

our erstwhile reps we spent

mega bucks electing and

defending- looking at you

Jeffries and Schumer and

so many others!
