For Those Who Don't Look Up

The sky is falling.

Do not surrender, fight the bastards.

I see Rubio (I'm told the sensible nominee) froze all foreign aid except to Israel and Egypt.
The first item frozen was military aid to Ukraine.

TSF will get all of his nominees confirmed.

Brick by Brick The United States is being shredded.

The United States is an imperialist nation allied with Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, North Korea, and believe it or not, Iran.

If it isn’t, it sure feels like it. We had a long time DUer post an OP today asking if we could “stop with the sky is falling bullshit”?

I'm 77, have no debt, have some money saved up, only take 4 prescription drugs, just had my knee replaced, I think I can weather what's upon us.

If a Civil War starts I will move in with my daughter. She lives on a hill with a secluded driveway, and my son-in-law has a safe full of weapons. I never fired an AR or Ak before but I will figure it out.

I’ve told my adult kids that I will take to the streets and die where I lay.
My grandparents escaped fascism. Other relatives fought in both WW 1 and 2; I now have a grandson.
I will not walk quietly …

This is about human dignity — all humans.

and their future is crumbling right in front of them and they take to the streets. We have good shoes, warm clothes and are ready to join them.

It’s gonna take a while but millions of us oldsters with grandchildren aren’t going to take this shit lying down. Our fathers and uncles fought in WW2 and this is NOT who we are.
