Quote #1189 - #TakeAction #StaySafe

09 Jun, 2025

TAKE ACTION - STAY SAFE


"Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses -because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower

"For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other."
Thomas Paine

"In America, we don’t do kings. They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings."

Some day they will say this didn't happen?
Right now.
Right now he's calling it what it isn't,
calling out the National Guard,
threatening the Insurrection Act,
calling out the Marines
to arrest people protesting his unlawful arrests.

The grotesque military parade on his birthday this Saturday
is to feed the narcissistic hunger
because nothing he does
makes him feel loved and accepted,
because of course he's not,
and because he can't love or accept anyone else.
So we all have to make sure he knows how much
he is loathed
and resisted.

Now is the time.
We are at a breaking point.
We take action now, or
there may not be a chance to take action tomorrow.

We must act, but
we must also stay safe.
Take every precaution.
No phones (or change settings to protect your stuff),
phone numbers on your arm,
the ability to stay calm and centered
(sit or lie down if there is any violence).

I'll be out there June 14--
I hope you will be, too.

But please stay safe.
We need us all.
