The Raven And The Squirrel - Making Noise Isn't Enough
I was out for a walk, 6 am, June, cool but great weather, clear skies and the sun rising bringing warmth and the day.
The trees to my left are all pines, a couple hundred feet high and above one of them was a medium sized black bird flying in circles around the top, squawking and making a racket, diving close but never landing. The Bird was panic'd calling for help possibly
Curious... I kept going on my walk which eventually would pass by this particular tree.
Getting closer I could see there was something up on the tree throwing down what likely was part of this birds nest. Something was destroying this birds nest and doing worse. And...most likely a Squirrel. Nature was being brutal.
I kept walking... leaving that scene behind me and it came to me that these organizations and people in positions of privilege and even those that support them are a lot like that predator, that squirrel. They don't give a F about me or you or rights or anything. No conscience at all, just objectives to be met. The Squirrels objective EAT to live. The Anti-Trans, Anti Women Rights, Anti Gay/Lesbian people want to remove our rights our right to liberty and existence.
These groups WILL eradicate us if we let them... Don't believe me. go look at

- look at the supporter list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is sobering...
So what do we; the supermajority of good people do about this threat? do we fly around and make noise and do nothing? Or do we fight it?
I say we fight it.
Here is the fight plan
- Protest often and always (Be Seen and Heard)
- Participate!
- Demand our leaders in positions of privilege act (hold them accountable)
- VOTE in a united way against the Rotten Republican mess
- The people must Act..if we don't then.. its over
- Speak out on social media! AND ask your friends to also speak out
- Call out Bigots and Trolls for what they are
- Someone says a lie or hate based comment call them out!
- Ask for their sources of information and counter lies with facts
- Fly Flags in your yard, Inclusion / PRIDE AND the American flag
- MAGA doesn't own the country flag it belongs to all of us. Make that clear
- DONATE MONEY to legal teams. CRITICAL - 5, 10 more ..it matters
- lambda legal, GLAAD, Rights Advocacy groups, Political groups that are fighting fascism
- Volunteer - help political groups and activist, lend a hand, be helpful
- Be Visible, sticker on your car, tee-shirt, rallies, flags, be your self, be proud of who you are
- Record and Document everything. This is critical and is part of eventual accountability
- Bad people will be held accountable, but we need hard evidence to help with prosecution
- Spread the documentation so it can't be erased
- Demand Religion be separate from government
- There are many religions and belief systems, christian nationalism is a rot
OK regarding fixing the mess.. here is what we have to fix
- SCOTUS must have term limits and possibly more seats added
- DOJ infiltrators must be removed (Trumps appointees)
- ICE Murderers or those involved must be brought to justice
- Those Pardened for hate crimes must be unpardened
- Epstein survivors must have justice
- Ultra rich must be taxed.... the rich have loop holes and avoid taxes. Insanity
- if i borrow against my own resources I pay no taxes....Rich just take loans or borrow against equity or resources. no taxes... so common people get taxed, the rich don't....
- Religion MUST be removed from government
- no more unlimited lobbying and dollar contributions in political races
- Law Enforcement REQUIRED to show face and ID and proper paperwork.
- New Law to prevent a mad president (or maybe puppet president) from running unchecked, start wars etc.
- New Law that prevents felons from holding office. DUH!!!! how the f was this ever allowed. WTF
- New Law that prevents pardoning convicted felons. Each must have a trial.... befoe a pardon can be approved. ie more due process /check and balance
- Electoral college needs to be dumped... its a relic and pure #@%@.
- New Laws against allowing outside influences in
- Nation states like Russia running dis-informaton campaigns to destabilize our country
- New Law regarding using BOTS and synthetic personalties(fake humans) to sway and radicalize base groups.
- Troll groups paid for by shadow companies, data analytics consulting companies and special religious interest organizations like "Heritage foundation"
- New Laws that protect Human Jobs from being taken by AI.
- New Environmental laws regarding AI datacenter pollution
- New Laws regarding usng AI to watch and surveillance on people.
- Stronger laws regarding spreading lies and 1/2 truths - jail time
- New laws that prevent monopolies (and break up existing ones)
- all networks (radio and television/streaming/news) for example are owned by like 5 people down from like 20+ owners just a few decades ago. This MUST be fixed...
