WHAT IS BARB DOING???? I am tired of being told to fight back when the teller never offers specifics. Is it time to risk life and limb? Is it standing in the street holding hands which is nice but ineffective with an autocrat. Maybe the fight back should be directed at the MAGATS who support insanity and destruction!!!! Tell us what how when and with whom or just STFU!!!!! CRUSH THE MAGATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barbara Lee is long time, visionary activist, only person to say NO to post 9/11 invasion. Her statements now are to remind, warn, us, that what looks like an attempted authoritarian take over IS exactly that. We are each given opportunities in our individual circumstances, to both STOP dt's insanity, and to CONTINUE being an active citizen through kindness and awareness of opportunities as they arise. On sidewalks, in stores, where ever there are other folks, every lifted up moment, every kind, generous encounter, resists the spreading menace. Every phone call, even unanswered, to a congressional office, resists the spreading menace. Every thank you to protestors and public space interruptors, resists the spreading menace. We are a Choir, getting louder by every quiet, simple gesture.
