Thursday

We don't need millions of people protesting on October 18th, we needs 10's of millions.
My greatest fear is that Trump is trying to provoke incidents that will justify a national emergency, and eventually martial law.
He doesn't want there to be an election in 2026, and will do anything he can to justify calling off the election.
The best route we have now is a huge presence in the streets on 10/18.
We need to send a message to all those Republicans in Congress that the tide is turning against them, and they need to make a choice; either democracy or fascism.
And, we need to let them know that fascism isn't a choice we'll accept.
