ACTION KNOWLEDGE: HOW TO FIGHT BACK FOR FREEDOM LOVERS
WHAT COULD BE DONE- By Dr. Pru Lee (correction, not by Liz Cheney)
An amazing list of action items for the Democratic party, the resistance and democracy-lovers . A highlighted version is here.
This post was suggested by a member of our steering committee members. Please join if you wish to plan actions.
DETAILED LIST OF HOW TO FIGHT BACK- FOR FREEDOM LOVERS
1. Form an independent, civilian-powered investigative coalition.
I’m talking experts. Veterans. Whistleblowers. Journalists. Watchdog orgs.
Deputize the resistance. Build a real-time archive of corruption, overreach, and executive abuse.
Make it public. Make it unshakable.
Let the people drag the rot into the light.
If you can’t hold formal hearings, hold public ones.
2. Join the International Criminal Court.
Yes, I said it. Call their bluff.
You cannot control what the other side does.
But you can control your own integrity.
So prove it. Prove that your party is still grounded in law, human rights, and ethical leadership.
Join.
If you’ve got nothing to hide — join.
Show the world who’s hiding bodies, bribes, and buried bank accounts.
Force the GOP to explain why they’d rather protect a war criminal than sign a treaty.
3. Fund state-level resistance infrastructure.
Don’t just send postcards. Send resources.
Channel DNC funds into rapid-response teams, legal defense coalitions, sanctuary networks, and digital security training.
If the federal government is hijacked, build power underneath it.
If the laws become tools of oppression, help people resist them legally, locally, and boldly.
This is not campaign season — this is an authoritarian purge.
4. Use your platform to educate the public on rights and resistance tactics.
If they’re going to strip us of rights and lie about it — arm the people with truth.
Text campaigns. Mass trainings. Downloadable “Know Your Rights” kits. Multilingual legal guides. Encrypted phone trees.
Give people tools, not soundbites.
We don’t need more slogans.
We need survival manuals.
⸻
5. Leverage international media and watchdogs.
Stop hoping U.S. cable news will wake up.
They’re too busy playing both sides of fascism.
Feed the real stories to BBC, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, Reuters, Der Spiegel — hell, leak them to anonymous dropboxes if you have to.
Make what’s happening in America a global scandal.
And stop relying on platforms that are actively suppressing truth.
Start leveraging Substack. Use Bluesky.
6. Create a digital safe haven for whistleblowers and defectors.
Not everyone inside this regime is loyal.
Some are scared. Some want out.
Build the channels.
Encrypted. Anonymous. Protected.
Make it easy for the cracks in the system to become gaping holes.
.....
We don’t need purity.
We need numbers.
We need people willing to burn their red hats and testify against the machine they helped build.
7. Study the collapse — and the comeback.
You should be learning from South Korea and how they managed their brief rule under dictatorship.
They didn’t waste time chasing the one man with absolute immunity.
They went after the structure.
The aides. The enforcers. The loyalists. The architects.
They knocked out the foundation one pillar at a time —
until the “strongman” had no one left to stand on.
And his power crumbled beneath him.
You should be independently investigating every author of Project 2025,
every aide who defies court orders,
every communications director repeating lies,
every policy writer enabling cruelty,
every water boy who keeps this engine running.
You can’t stop a regime by asking the king to sit down.
You dismantle the throne he’s standing on — one coward at a time.
⸻
Stop being scared to fight dirty when the other side is fighting to erase the damn Constitution.
They are threatening to disappear AMERICANS.
A M E R I C A N S.
>>>>>
But when we ALL
speak, it ROARS with pressure that will cause change.
We need to be deafening.
You still have a chance to do something historic.
To be remembered for courage, not caution.
To go down as the party that didn’t just watch the fall — but fought the hell back with everything they had.
But the clock is ticking.
And the deportation buses are idling.

AI Overview
You are correct to identify that special treatment, bias, and corruption are widely cited as significant factors contributing to wealth inequality in the United States
. Here's a breakdown of how these factors contribute to the issue:
1. Special Treatment and Policy Influence:
- Policies Favoring the Wealthy: Ultra-wealthy individuals and corporations can use their influence to advocate for policies like tax breaks that benefit them, further concentrating wealth in their hands.
- Weakening of Labor Protections: Deregulation, a decline in unions, and a stagnating minimum wage contribute to lower wages for workers and increased inequality.
- Cronyism: Businesses securing preferential treatment through lobbying and connections can create wealth at the expense of others, distorting the market and exacerbating inequality.
2. Bias and Systemic Inequality:
- Racial and Ethnic Discrimination: Historical and ongoing discrimination in areas like housing, employment, and access to credit creates barriers to wealth accumulation for marginalized groups. This includes practices like redlining and racial covenants that limit homeownership opportunities.
- Intergenerational Wealth Transfer: Existing wealth disparities are perpetuated through inheritances, where white families are significantly more likely to receive substantial inheritances compared to Black or Hispanic families.
- Educational Disparities: Unequal access to quality education, particularly in low-income areas, can limit opportunities for economic advancement.
3. Corruption:
- Distorted Decision-Making: Corruption can influence how public funds are used, potentially leading to lower social spending and unequal access to resources that could help reduce inequality.
- Unequal Access to Opportunities: Corrupt practices can create unequal access to economic and political power, benefiting the ruling elite and worsening inequality.
In summary, the widening wealth gap in the US is a complex issue driven by a combination of factors, including:
- Policies shaped by special interests that benefit the wealthy.
- Systemic bias and discrimination that limit opportunities for marginalized groups.
- Corruption that distorts the economy and entrenches existing inequalities.
