She is absolutely right! I have enormous respect for Martina. She has experienced authoritarianism first hand and knows exactly what trump is doing. Incredible that 40 percent of Americans are embracing and cheering on fascism.
Those people are not embracing fascism - they simply don’t see that it is here. They are brainwashed on Fox News that gives them no information, misinformation and disinformation and leads them down a path of lies and excuses. So when half the population is brainwashed on Trump propaganda they don’t see the magnitude and gravity of our nation and democracy being under threat by the Trump Regime. The key to all this is to STOP the Trump propaganda through state run media. These people need to see the truth so that they can wake up and join the fight to save our democratic republic. 🇺🇸
I’m so grateful that Martina and Home of the Brave were able to collaborate on this project. We need more like her to speak out every day. It makes what people like JD Vance. And Kashmir Patel are doing even more humiliating for them.
Thank you Martina for using your platform to call out what is painfully obvious. Trump and Project 2025 are moving the US toward authoritarianism. Americans must take note and fight it.
This ad (and any similar) needs to blast on the jumbotrons in all sports stadiums everywhere (especially in MAGA-land) until the xenophobia stops! Hey MAGA flyover states, why are your football teams far more diverse than your student body?
MAGA, we see your hypocrisy!
My high school track coach and his wife (a very accomplished gymnastics coach) escaped from Romanian in the 80's. I am a better person from that experience. He was only one of the several people I knew/know personally that got out of a totalitarian regime in the 70's and 80's.
I was a Soldier serving in German when "the wall" came down, I was so proud! America is supposed to a beacon of freedom, no matter how imperfect! What is happening now is not imperfection between ideals and reality, but a destruction of those ideals! It pains me to say that I am ashamed of "the country" that elected DJT...
All of us who love freedom were so proud, so moved when that wall came down. 💙 I truly thank you for serving. My father was a lifer in the USAF, a jet pilot & an instructor. His last deployment before he retired was in Vietnam. All of my 5 maternal uncles served during WWII or the Korean War. I likely would have served in some branch of the military, but I was permanently disabled by polio as an infant. What is happening in our country is just devastating, & I often cry about it; but I’m also pissed as hell & go to every protest. Let’s stay in the fight as long as we’re able to.
They need to tune in to factual media outlets. There are plenty out there and it doesn’t take much to find them or do a little research on their own. Willful ignorance is no excuse especially right now. I agree with your point about not seeing it.
The elected leaders of the opposition seem to lack the courage and/or will to speak up and use the words that need to be spoken and heard. Words like fascism, authoritarian, disappeared, torture, camps, without charges, cruelty, oppression, evil, murder, ethnic cleansing. We can SEE it. When they fail to say it, I lose confidence in their leadership and see weakness in the people who are best-positioned to exert strength. I wish they would send at least one message calling out what is happening, naming the perpretrators, and exhorting people to protect their own rights for every message (hundreds every week) they send me asking for money and crying about the dire consequences should they lose their election. They are always THE ONE whose election will turn the House or the Senate blue. Come on. We're not f****** stupid. Don't offend us. Either have the courage to tell the truth, do what's right, and perhaps lose an election, or get out of out way. Holding onto a seat and remaining meek or even silent just drags out the suffering of actual living humans who are sick, poor, marginalized, oppressed, repressed, and stripped of legal guarantees. Martina is pissed and so are millions of others. Hey, politicians, give us something to vote FOR!
Dear ones, I hope you noticed that you used the words ‘to compel people’ in your mission statement. Be careful, my friends, lest the creep of fascism touch you/us unawares. Let’s please ‘inspire’ rather than ‘compel’ each other…. All blessings!!!

Fascism has been wrapped in an American flag, and the people who see the stars and stripes will not look beyond it.

Great job and great ideas!! Go Martina!!!!
Together…loud and proud. The People matter!
Thanks for fighting, Martina! Many of us are with you, we’re pissed as hell and not going to capitulate!
I’m so grateful that Martina and Home of the Brave were able to collaborate on this project. We need more like her to speak out every day. It makes what people like JD Vance. And Kashmir Patel are doing even more humiliating for them.
IDK if you did it on purpose or just don’t know what Patel’s first name is; it’s Kashyap.
Thank you, Martina and Home of the Brave. She's right, of course!! We have a lot of work to do, friends.
Thank you Martina! I always loved watching you play. So glad you are bringing that same spirit to this fight.
Thank you Martina for using your platform to call out what is painfully obvious. Trump and Project 2025 are moving the US toward authoritarianism. Americans must take note and fight it.
Thanks for your consistent and steady positive voice as well as your courage Martina!

Good points well made.💯🎯🏅
Words of Wisdom!
👊 Martina. Such and importance voice in our fight for democracy. Thank you for your continued courage and speaking out.
My goodness. I love Martina and she is an inspiration and trailblazer in so many ways. Thank you for working with Home of the Brave.
I feel like people are not seeing it. They are not being told what is going on.
They need to tune in to factual media outlets. There are plenty out there and it doesn’t take much to find them or do a little research on their own. Willful ignorance is no excuse especially right now. I agree with your point about not seeing it.
I agree with the will ful ignorance point.

I meant I too am pissed off, not that I'm pissed off with Martina. I'm in alignment with her pissedoffedness!

Good on you for noticing that & calling it out. I hadn’t yet read their mission statement. Your suggestion to use inspire is great.
