3. We can't wait for a savior. We live in the crowd source era

and it is all of us who need to participate-even if what we each do seems small. It is still significant. The first step for us is to accept the fact that we are facing a clear and present danger to our survival as a people and as a democracy.

We are in the middle of a coup -a seizure of our government and country by a small group of well connected and inter-related people. Federalist society, graduates of these private grooming schools for the rich , certain billionaires, some but not all corporations. They are not patriots-their allegiance is to themselves and their networks and crews, their materialistic and shallow lives Their only interest in the US is to be a ruling class and enrich themselves at our expense.

Millions of us could die and their only concern would be if it intruded upon or damaged their lifestyle.

They believe there is not enough for everyone to prosper and they want to smash and dash. They do not care about the rest of us and they want only to be the ruling class in an authoritarian world in which life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness is guaranteed only to them

They have been moving ahead or as Grassley says "plowing through" on many fronts. They are attempting to terrorize and engender a sense of hopelessness and inevitability. The grim, dystopian future they want for the rest of us is not inevitable-but we have to unify and fight, and support each other.

they are plowing ahead at the border: hey are still separating families at the border-now focused on the separating of children who are citizens and their non-citizen parents.

They have been packing the courts with federalists for decades and have now been stepping up the pace. They want a corrupt judiciary. They need Kavanaugh on the SC not just to terrorize women but to save Trump and shut down the Russia investigation-

We are being whipsawed by a minority but we are the majority and we can prevail.
