Hey all - Back after a long time away

Y'all are oxygen. Level-headed. Compassionate. Repulsed by the monsters, the inevitable spawn of the Reagan era. I walked away from online universe because my statements were blunt and candid and graphic. It made me anxious and depressed back then. "Here's what's next" type of statements. I was right about most of them. So all that anxiety and fear wasn't just imagination.
But I am hear to say hello again and to warn all. We know what's coming. Gird your loins.
I hope we are all ready to be the French Resistance. I hope we are all ready to take action. I hope we are all planting gardens, storing food and water and medicine, and forming our local networks--but we had all damn well be filling water balloons with sand and motor oil for windshields, loading our pockets with sugar for gas tanks, and adding both video cameras and firearms to our shoppping lists, coming to terms with how far you'll go to protect family and friends.
The Gestapo is coming. Count on it. LA is rehearsal. Be ready to fight, to disrupt, to terrorize them, to burn down the holiest of holies to keep their Nazi mitts off them.
And if you have active duty or vet among you. Challenge them. Make them state where their loyalties lie. Show them the way to refuse to obey. We will need soldiers on the good side. In numbers.
Between now and November '26, we stand to lose it all. The loon will call martial law. The military and J6-ICErs will come. They will kidnap or kill. They dream of it. Their militias forced this all into reality. Putin paid Trump. The Tech Bros paid Trump. They want the US to fall. They already have all the money. They want resistance out of the way. That's us. They want to take it all.
Don't let them.
