April 5, 2025 was a warm-up for this! I was on the streets in Washington, D.C. with thousands of others who care about our Democracy. LET’S TAKE TO THE STREETS AGAIN!

I agree wholeheartedly. The dem leadership still seem to think business as usual is good enough. IT IS NOT!
Thanks for a thoughtful post. We all need to double down on them AND be mindful of our “satygraha”, firmness in a good cause… protecting our democracy.

At a demonstration in Binghamton, NY on Tuesday, January 6th, asked the crowd, “Where is the Outrage?” Finally we’ve reached the tipping point… Americans are expressing their moral outrage at this lawless regime!
My friend, I agree. However a thick skin is always an asset to embrace.
Brrr…

Canadian Substack author nails it. A must read. Good for the U.S.? Your thoughts…
An astute observation! I’d add ousting Leavitt as well. Unfortunately, as a tRump appointed schill, little chance potus will dispense with a minion who so shamelessly covers his a$&!
Delightful!
Read Kim Stanley Robinson’s acclaimed novel, The Ministry for the Future. It’s no metaphor. It’s reality.
Fallows echoes my sentiments on the “capitulation” of the eight Senate dems. The fight is far bigger than we what we think… the momentum is ON OUR SIDE. We need to seize it!

Tonight was a very bad night.
I agree, but a coin has two sides: “But the shutdown was a skirmish, not the real battle. Both sides were fighting for position, and Democrats, if you look at the polls, are ending up in a better one than they were when they started.” Ezra Klein’s take. Let’s keep focused on fighting & winning!
Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.
That’s it in a nutshell…
I’m not going to say that I wasn’t disappointed by the Senate Dems who “got cold feet” and passed a new CR. This is a long game and there will be times when the losers are Dems with no spine for a fight, and MAGA Republicans who have kissed the Don’s ring. We must be VIGILANT; we must be STRONG!
Tracy - I disagree. We are in this for the LONG GAME… the Dems aren’t inflicting the pain. tRump and his MAGA Minions in the GOP are the source of it all. And people know it. The Don wants you to loose heart. Stay resolute… WE WILL WIN!
Last night NYC met the Don’s personal challenge: “if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.” NY STRONG!
The purposeful use of excessive force by ICE Agents is the violence that must be punished. We must laud the courage, fearlessness and unflagging resistance of those under attack for non-violent, peaceful protest!
Lost his mind? Hardly… gained a conscience and senes of justice!
JC… I wish this were true, but I will believe it when I see see it.
Think globally… yet act in true solidarity… locally. If we fail to restore democracy at its roots, our communities, we will never again taste the fruits of freedom, justice & equality. As Abby says, that’s what we MUST do to stop tRump and his minions… sycophants who destroy our democracy!
Don’t repost about the Epstein Ballroom? Who’s kidding whom here?
I’m IN! Spread the word.
Let’s keep that euphoria from No Kings… if we build it into a GENERAL STRIKE: 3.5% of the working population, we will be a force to be dealt with. We can do it!
Well put… let’s keep that euphoria building into a GENERAL STRIKE! 3.5% of the working population will hit the mark. We can do it!
