Bravo Mitch Jackson, Esq.! Our words - written or spoke - are the most powerful tool we have to support the resistance. Let's flood the internet with our Calls for Action. Use every means of communication you have. For the sake of our democracy, our civil rights, our bank accounts and the future of our children, share your knowledge! Restack and forward this message with everyone you know and ask them to do the same!

This needs to be said. Outloud. By all of us who want to rebuild a better, stronger, more resilient great American experiment. We have just over 100 days. Let’s make sure we use them all well!

“Be the spark!”

"Silence is a vote too. Silence is a vote for whoever already holds the gavel." Yes, and we need to talk about it.

Thank you, Mitch, for offering encouragement to those who do speak out. I don't mean to intrude on your space, but I thought this a perfect place, for those who'd like to to back up their positions, to offer this 3 part series on Despots, Deceit, and Kleptocracy - all running rampant through this government. https://merrittq.substack.com/p/corrupting-america-part-1-despots?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2

Very happy to hear that, Nina. It's critical that more voices speak out about the corruption running rampant through this administration. I'd love to read what you will post.

My mother never kept quiet and I learned at her knee. This was the time of people dropping in, unannounced, for coffee, raspberries in cream or a slice of homemade bread with butter and the kids played outside, except sometimes I'd sit silently at the kitchen table and hear my mother support MLK in a small rural northern town, years before before Memphis.

It works differently now. Folks are rabid online and some aren't much better in person. Attending a garage sale to see a a giant F Biden flag on the wall aren't the people I'd advise it's high time to 'LeavingMaga.org'. But connecting with a remaining vestige of their former humanity is the advisement.

NOBODY IS COMING TO SAVE US.

Be coherent, don't rant, don't berate, don't accuse.

Question the insanity.

Yes, Mitch! Speak up, it needn't be loud, probably not loud but clear. We don't need to reach agreement with others to plant seeds that will grow with time. Most Trump supporters are good people but pride gets in the way of admitting they have been wrong.

Another barrier to self-correction is their feeling of belonging to a group with shared beliefs. Best to give them a receptive alternative to MAGA.

Thank you, Mr. Jackson ~ I feel more hopeful every time I read one of your posts! It makes standing in the rain, cold or heat at rallies more worthwhile!

Thank you for being the spark, Mitch. 💯 Here’s to sparking the rest of ‘U.S.’ to do the same.

I speak out where I can - in my business and in private. Wherever I go. Whoever I meet - even at Walmart! :-)
