In a country where the vote is being illegally undermined in numerous ways, where our money goes is the most powerful tool. I have been asking people to move their money out of fossil fuel sponsoring banks for a couple of years. Here are some tools for readers to use, and lists of the worst offenders.
Considering our tax money is being stolen to fund wealthy tax cuts, and the foundation of this country was based on a tax revolt, that should be in play, too.
Funny that. The people who ARE best represented are the ones paying little or no taxes while the middle class trudges on, hoping to at least tread water in these trying times of no representation.
Bloodless coup, for now. People need to wake up and take action. President Elmo has had years to plan this overthrow and must have more dirty tricks up his sleeve. 315!
Force is not the only energy that could be in play. There's a rightness to come from when you get it, and the super-rich could be those people. Here's what I wrote in my Substack: https://suzannetaylor.substack.com/p/to-getting-organized:
"Where are you billionaires who have the power to reshape things? How can you behave so indifferently? It’s not even altruism that needs to be top of your list; it can be self-preservation. Serve yourselves and you lose your playing field. Instead, create a world where all you’d encounter would be loveliness.
"Stratospherically rich people would start with thinking together. The subject is saving our species. Be the leaders we don’t have. You can do anything. Why aren’t you taking charge of our survival? You have ultimate power. You just filled humanity’s biggest job. Why are you silent now? How can you not preserve Earth? You have children. How about doing the most good as a new category to excel in? Go down in history as humanity’s saviors."
There is so much Americans aren't there yet with, so much that we've been trained even questioning is total anathema. It's true, unless this changes, these social movements will fail.

"No taxation without representation."
We as a population (in the US) are definitely not being represented. So let's not pay taxes. Sounds fair.

Beautifully written.
Is there a “them” in this “movement,” though? It seems more like a meme than an actual organization
