I want to float an idea. Starting February 1, we unite and unify via a weekly common message [View all]

on our social media.
EVERYONE OF US.
We all post the exact same message one of which is our unified message.
On your FB page
On your instagram page
On your X page
Or if you have no social media, your email.

These are fictitious examples only. Let me say that the spirit of Michele Obama has moved me to do something. That is why I’m proposing this idea. The DU community is perfect. Just think about just once a week flooding our email and or social media with a coordinated message possibility reaching thousands of people via sharing or forwarding. This is my idea to do an end around right wing messages.

(Example)
The fact of the week.
The average price of eggs last week in the trump administration was $5.25 a doz and gas was $2.97 per gal.
During the Biden Administration, average price of eggs were $5.25 a doz, and gas was $2.88
Why are prices in the trump adminstration not down?

(Example)
The fact of the week.
Federal DOJ employees are now required by the trump administration to sign a pledge loyal to trump.
Federal DOJ employees during the Biden adminstration swore an oath to the Constitution not to a person.
Are you ok with a pledge to a person instead of the constitution?

(Example)
The fact of the week
This week, the trump administration withdrew American support for the Ukrainian's and the US will no longer provide money or weapons. This will allow Putin to advance his war into Poland.
During the Biden Adminstration the US gave money and weapons and rallied our allies to also give money and weapons for the Ukrainian to remain a democracy. This helped Ukraine to fight and resist Putin’s killing of Ukrainians and to advance into Poland.

Each week there will be enough egregious examples of horrible policies to pick from.
All that needs to be done is to keep it short and factual.
Resist from our keyboards. Fight fire with fire.
But let me be clear, this is only affective if it is consistently posted by a huge number of D U members. It does not work without big numbers.

Thoughts welcomed.

Peace
Ninga
