Just a suggestion. We need some way to display the size and solidarity of this movement. In days past, people wore armbands or badges.

It needs to be simple that everyone will be willing to display it.

It needs to be seen over and over again and not just by readers.

My suggestion is removable car window stickers. But you may have other suggestions. Others need to know how big the movement is. https://wedidntwantthis.com or make your own. I don't get a commission, but if you make your own sticker, you can add a commission on each sale to help defray your cost of this substack..

Likewise!

I do think it’s critical that people speak out loudly, protest constantly and communicate their objections to the fascist/oligarch agenda now. We may prevail in the courts (eventually) but that will take time. Congress needs to realize that it has more to fear from an enraged electorate than from Trump’s usual threats.

Dems need to stop taking the bait on “men in women’s sports.” It is not an issue and we don’t want them to keep lying about us. We are focused on saving democracy from a fascist monster. When Congress holds fake votes on this (and other random topics),Dems are no shows or they abstain. Stop engaging on minuscule and extreme issues. WE CANNOT AFFORD IT. Sorry, but this is how Kamala lost. They flooded the zone (football game commercials and bro podcasts) with her benign response on women in sports, thus allowing GOPMAGA-holes to broadly and incorrectly stamp Dems.

DEMS ARE THE ONLY PARTY WORKING FOR THE WORKING MAN AND NOT THE BILLIONAIRES. STOP IT DEMS!!!
