Imagine that women started leading, not from a place of conforming to the male paradigm of power, but from her own intuitive organic knowing about how to care for life; her understanding the group is only as good as the way it treats the most vulnerable; and her knowing that children are the future. Leading, not from ego, but because she intuitively KNOWS the answer, the way, to a better world.
We need a powerful non partisan women's movement to lead the way towards a return to our humanity, which we've lost sight of amidst the digital age. She is a necessary voice that needs be heard and contribute to the direction the world is taking, which has recently been hijacked by some misguided Sauron like characters. The first step is to take part in the Exodus off the Digital Big 5 by EARTH DAY April 22, 2025. Let's pave the way for a brighter healthier future for all.

Thank you all so much for your support and responses yesterday about the Digital Exodus, which may be our greatest leverage point right now. It’s super simple: We’re taking our power back by leaving the Big 5 (Meta, X, Amazon, Google, Apple), at least temporarily, in a united, collective way. And then? We hold steady for as long as it takes.
Now is not the time to profit off what’s happening. It’s time to come together as a community and stand for what we believe. 99% of us want the same thing right now: peace, dignity, democracy, a livable planet. The action plan is here: https://lnkd.in/gQWmbcFX Here’s the part I still can’t believe: the script for the cause of GOOD has already been written. Yes, Project 2025 has been 40 years in the making. But so has this - quietly, humbly - through forces like PBS, Sesame Street, and Jim Henson. And now their message is echoing back to us. This short Fraggle Rock clip says it all: "It's just a dream away... You have to leave (the Big 5 - Meta/X/Amazon/Google/Apple) to stay (in a democratic society, alive) We'll meet again someday." (over on Bluesky/Linkedin) 🎶LET THIS BE ONE OF THE RALLY CRIES FOR OUR EXODUS. I know WE can do this! They need us more than we need them! I promise!! 🎥 Fraggle Rock Song on Youtube: https://lnkd.in/gdnUGpaH 🚫 This is not an ad. Everything we are asking is FREE This is the message of PBS--and all good things. I am not giving up, and neither should you. They need us more than we need them. This is how we take back our power.
🔥 The Digital Exodus We’re watching the foundations of democracy, climate justice, and truth itself be chipped away — and many people are asking, “What can we actually do?” Here’s one concrete, overlooked step: --> We migrate. We unplug. We reclaim our digital and economic power. --> Big Tech companies - Meta, X, Google, Amazon, Apple - are no longer neutral platforms. They are actively profiting from surveillance, division, and in some cases, enabling political and climate collapse. But they only have power because we give it to them. They gave themselves away at the inauguration on the dais. Their arrogance is their downfall. We are going to WIN!! What to do in the next 30 days:
How to PREPARE for the MOVE:
By Earth day April 22nd - we ARE FREE! We will stay off as long as it takes. 30 days, 60 days, 90 days....This isn’t about perfection. It’s about leverage. If I’m wrong, the worst that happens is a long-overdue digital detox. If I’m right, this is how we begin to disrupt the infrastructure of collapse. Like the Last Alliance in Lord of the Rings — THIS moment matters. We still have time. But not much. Let’s move. Let’s take our power back! The power we gave away was over digital. So to get it back, we have leave it. We don't need to part the river - we ARE the river! Sometime between the 1980s and now, America stopped being a democracy. The corporations took over, and we became a corporatacracy under the guise of a democracy.
This seemed bad enough when, seemingly overnight, the corporatocracy transformed into an authoritarian corporate backed regime, with no laws, no justice, nothumanity That is the bad new. But the good news is we can take the power back from the corporations we gave it to. They are nothing without us. They need us more than we need them. We have the power, and we can take it back. Imagine a country where all the working class people rally behind a common vision to reclaim our power, our right to live and thrive that is our birthright by virtue of being alive. Imagine us all reclaiming our lives. We are up against a major challenge: the massive power consolidation in BigTech and its influence in our government and on our minds via social media. We've written books and movies warning us about this moment, and showing epic showdowns between the human and the inhumane. If 1984 and Brave New World can come true, why can't we also have a the Lord of the Rings showdown come to fruition, where the good guys win; where instead of just passing the baton (the ring of power to another party) we throw it away. We throw corporate domination of our politics out the window and bring the power back to the people. Up to 80-90% of Americans are worse of than they were in the 1980s and it is only going to get worse with the direction we are going. We have the power of the majority, if we just ban together. Corporations aren't people. They are machines that maximize profit even when that means harming millions of people or creating an uninhabitable planet. It's time for the people to take a stand and take our power back. Can you imagine it? Back in 2010s, I started noticing how books like Brave New World and 1984 seemed to be coming true. It was tempting to see them as prophetic, but I also wondered if perhaps those books that aimed to warn us didn't also have a hand in creating the future by planting the seeds and making it seem possible?
Was it all really inevitable? What if we started imagining the good news we want to see and hear? More than just broad concepts of "peace," but very detailed stories of GOOD things happening. Would that help usher in a brighter future? Here in 2025, there is more urgency than ever for us to focus our imaginations and creativity towards visions of good things. There is still hope! |
