Mockery is valuable but the opposition can take many forms. It takes courage to even write here. I am determined to not be called complicit by being silent. Trump wants to be a dictator. We cannot let that happen!
Jim, I really like this piece on the White Rose Society. Back in 2002 an activist friend gave me copies of all their pamphlets. They had enormous courage to do this back in 1942-43! To honor their memory I wrote a few pamphlets modeled on the White Rose calling out the lies leading up to the Iraq War in 2003, and I am starting again re Trump. It's an easy form of activism at the moment (no threat of the guillotine), though it's impossible to know if it has an impact. I guess we'll see.
Thanks for posting their messages. I hear about the Society occasionally but never heard what they wrote. Personally, I'd take their fate over being incarcerated in any of these camps. Thanks for all you do! I know you said you didn't choose this life, but you don't have to keep choosing it. You're doing it for us, and we appreciate it!
We do what we can according to personality. People will also hear things differently. From what I see today, the resistance is working. Keep the pressure on. Thanks for the info on White Rose. It all feels like an echo, well sometimes.
Jim, exactly what I've been waiting for. After the horror of the 2016 election and the reality of a Turmp administration set in, I started screaming that ridicule was the only way to deal with Trump. If you recall, although many of us ridiculed him ever since, all media outlets, both print and broadcast, gave him the deference we always gave to just about any public officer, no matter how repugnant and incompetent the officer. Ridicule seems to be taking its proper place as the most important tactic in bringing down a moronic, malignant dictator. Thank you, Jim.
I had to pay so I can make a comment.

That’s awesome! You’ll have to share when it’s finished 🙏🏻🙏🏻💙
My wife copes by watching Seth Myers, Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Jon Stewart. That's pretty good mockery at least mockery is alive and well...for now.
Unfortunately CBS just canceled the Late Show and Colbert has less than a year in his contract. A huge loss.
That's not good, it's creeping sensorship, and the corporate media is on board with that.
