Miles, I am so grateful that you spoke up, spoke the truth and will not be silenced! I am following in your footsteps and will not be silenced…I will not watch this man and his spineless minions destroy the country that my family fought to free from a King 250 years ago become a dictatorship! We all should follow your example and stand up for the truth, for our democracy, our Constitution, our country! Submission only leads to further oppression…he will come for us all, for one reason or another unless we stop him!
My husband worries about me speaking out against Trump and his minions, but I absolutely will no stop Sharing facts and speaking truth.
Your eight solid points to defy the current regime are all spot on. I'm particularly glad you said "I will not fear." Fear is not only the fuel feeding autocracy, it is the fuel that keeps so many silent. I've spoken with people who, in their first words, say they are afraid to speak out. One friend said, last week, "everyone is afraid."
I've no doubt Jews were afraid in Germany. That Gaza's citizens are afraid. That there are those in other autocratic nations who have retreated behind a wall of silence. I can understand it, but, as you hinted, it signals a retreat.
This quote, from Frank Herbert's "Dune," keeps me going and I quote it often.
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain".
I stand with you, Miles, and with all those who are being intimidated and threatened by this regime.
I wish there was more I could do to help you, but I subscribed for a year to help you fight regardless. That said, have a plan to keep your wife and child safe (just in case). Godspeed Miles.
Love your courage to stand up to that orange tyrant and his cult!
I feel so help less over here desperately wanting to do something to help. Subcribing here makes me feel like I'm helping maybe just a little bit. Then yesterday canceling my Hulu and Paramount accounts along with not only those in our country but other countries as well Woop woop!! The numbers are growing against this orange tyrant and I have hope this nighmare will end sooner than later.
We boomers, I believe, have little to lose at this point. All of us should be standing up and doing everything we can to get our elected representatives to do the same…especially Democrats, frankly. No Kings Day demonstrations are coming up soon. Fight the fear and be there. If you live in the DC area, that is the place to be. If you don’t, show up,at a local demonstration. Believe me, this administration will try to minimize the numbers, but we all really need to be there. https://nokingsday.org/
I wept. Because of hope? I do not know how Miles can be so defiant and stay strong, I’d probably fold like a cheap suit. Of have a … “seizure” when they get down to coming for the hapless commenters, and my phone is full of the best memes. The videos showing us how to deal with this horrifying reality are crucial. Setting up a command for one-click enabling of the phone cam and livestream sounds good. And as Dr. Johnny Fever once said, last century:
“Wake up, sucker, this is the phone company we're talking about! They see everything, they know everything, they got their own covert police force! I'm probably wired for sound right now! I gotta get out of here!” And we laughed.

Miles, I am with YOU! There is strength in numbers.

There is an army of resisters out here, Miles. We are with you. You lead by example with your patriotism and perseverance. We will prevail.
If our voices held no power, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to silence us!! GET LOUD…REFUSE TO BE SILENCED!
Defy, Defy, Do Not Comply!

Your courage!!!!! Thank you. Thank you from all of us real Americans.
Thank you, Miles Taylor, for this inspiring call to defiance of this corrupt regime!!

I don’t call it treason. I call it patriotism.
