When I first started Resisting, in what feels like a Lifetime ago, we had a plan. The plan was to use Logic and Reason against a lot of people who seemed to have lost thiers. They still are those people. They left reason, logic, compassion, and empathy in the rearview mirror.
While I'm having tech dificulties on here, I'm still making those calls to MOCs. I'm still sending post cards. Still working with the Dem Coalition in my town. Still Getting the word out that

You women in "Safe States" Calling to Boycott Sisters Who Fought and Continue to Fight Against These Laws: Don't call us your Sisters, Because Sisters Help Each Other. A Boycott won't help. Rise up with Us, Stand in Solidarity. Since When Do we Do this??
Someone I talked to today had 2 valid points about The Second Ammendment. One: When it was written, guns ( muskets) took 6 minutes to load per shot. ONE shot per firing. And was useful and pertinant at that time, because they were used as Defense.
I watch "Hate Thy Neighbor" on Viceland every week. * NewsFlash* If you are Native in Oklahoma, and you protest fracking ( because oil is "god given " there) You face a 1 Million dollar fine or 10 YEARS in Prison.
