The end of democracy doesn’t start with bookshelves being emptied and books removed it happens years before when the movements pushing it come to power. Killing a democracy is a process and we are so much further along it than people want to admit.

@brainnotonyet well said. We are well on the road to a fascist takeover of the nation.
Fascists already run Florida, Texas, Ohio, and several other states.
How we respond is important and telling.
We can fight like hell for a democracy, or we can fiddle while America burns.

Then run for something.

Or get in touch with your county Democratic Party and get active.

There are elections EVERY year. They'll be glad to hear from you.

@PricklyPam @brainnotonyet were I somewhere I could make a difference, I'd be on it already.
I'm in solidly blue New York. I'm not even near the Adirondacks where they have an unhealthy love for Elise Stefanik, not am I downstate where Santos is from.
We have better candidates available.

As an educator, I educate. I use my words, my education, my training to push an agenda. I prepare the next generation to be critical thinkers and open-minded.

I do my part.

That's what's needed most: critical thinkers. Go you!

I'm going to run for school board here in this rural area. Scared. But going forward. 💪
