Subject: Last week
Last week, in individual comments I put on the posts of about 45 others on Facebook, I said the following (or a variation of the following):

Please don't assume that because FB is our only regular means of social interaction that it also happens to the the only 'silo' I'm using to oppose Maga Trumpism. We've attended rallies at RR Park (didn't see you there), meetings of the Vestavia Democrats (when we lived in Vestavia - didn't see you there), etc., etc.

Removal of name from above list
A person, whose name is no longer on the above list, requested the person's name be removed, and I have done that.
The person said to me, "There are Democrat Facebook group chats and it’s normal for people to want to feel safe. I don’t think you should have created this list without people’s permission first."
After I created the list, I started posting individual comments informing about the list and asking people to tell me if they wanted their name removed from list. I posted only about 10 of such individual comments and, for now, don't intend to post individual comments to the remaining 35 or so persons on the list. If I receive any more requests to remove a person's name, I will do so.
I think it is fairly clear Trump wants to intimidate anyone who who doesn't agree with what he is doing to the country and who speak up publicly to that effect. Trump's intimidation or attempted intimidation extends to lawyers and law firms, universities, and political opponents. Trump's scope of intimidation grows by the day (John Brennan and James Comey being yesterday's Trump target).
It is understandable for Trump resisters to feel unsafe and to want safe spaces.
As equally understandable is that the Trump resistance needs those with courage and who will speak and act publicly with courage.
My list only reveals only the communication I made to them. Whether Trump resisters who appear in public at protests somehow feel fearful about being on "public' social media (such my list) outside their Facebook safe space silos is something I would be interested in hearing about.

Subject: Breaking people out of their Facebook silos
I have written you several emails about the need, I think, for Alabama Trump resisters to break out of their Facebook silos and take up, among other things, organized, targeted emailing that I am pushing for in order to grow Alabama public opinion against Trump. These emails, other emails, and the reasoning for what I am urging, are posted at Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: What to do after yesterday
Yesterday and today, I have been posting individual comments on people's Facebook posts, saying "Please, please, break out of your Facebook silo. Citizens Acting to End the Trump Presidency: Last week."
Given how much I am bugging you and others about this, might you please express your opinion about this, favorable or unfavorable or indifferent, if only for the benefit of other people seeing what you think in making their own decisions about the matter?
Thank you.
You are trying to get people to stand up to tyranny but we are already standing from jan 2017 we have been fighting this insanity of hate and lies. It is a shame there are so many caught in the undertow of trump deceit. There isn't a time we need the Fairness Doctrine reinstated. So lying becomes against the law again. We have not only the most corrupt president in history we also the most corrupt congress and senate. My mother was in concentration camp in WWII. That's why I know this country has become a Nazi state. And now it's being hollowed out and all the good is being sucked out of it. Democrats get up off your knees fill your hands for the fight for your right to exist. If you can't see that is the next step in the evil plan from a from this evil regime. They can't afford any of you to stand against their machine. But I say throw a rock of dissention some things are worth dying for. And truth is that thing. We need to teach the fallen how to love again. All life matters are none of us do. We must reinstate the FAIRNESS DOCTRINE. And put a lid of all the lying.
