Ch 20 of "Regime Change" clearly reveals why GOP Congress members have fallen in lockstep w/ Trump2.0. He runs our govt like a mob boss, wooing wide-eyed new reps by using their first names, lobbying the oligarchs to fill his coffers w/funds he uses to unseat anyone voting against what he wants,

If the GOP congress does not find the guts to reign in and prosecute the outrageous grift of the Trump regime, anyone who voted them in and has half a brain will vote against them in November. Only a blue wave can save this country from a total economic meltdown and a lost democracy. WAKE UP!!

Fascinating explanation of why the idea of "socialism" is different among age groups, and education levels. Can't wait to hear what my kids in their early 40's think of this discussion. open.substack.com/pub/anandwri...

Given Kavanaugh's opinion, all Americans who respect the contributions to their communities of BOTH their current immigrant neighbors AND of their own immigrant family members in long dead must send Dems to congress by their votes in Nov. A GOP majority in Jan = the death of citizens' birthright.

substack.com/@rawstory/no... Have Republicans finally seen the "writing on the wall?"

www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Wow! I thought the Catholic church was behind the times, but the Baptists seem to be just as stuck in the Dark Ages!

Fight back, we shall!

This is so egregious, stealing tax $$s to distribute back to ONLY STATES WHO AGREE WITH TRUMP & HIS BACKWARD CRONIES! Trump's U.S.A. is no longer the home of a freedom-loving people. Under the control of Trump & his fascist regime, our democracy is crumbling. Fight back @ the polls & in the streets!

youtube.com/shorts/MnA1E... There are no "American Americans." We are all Americans, by birth or naturalization... or waiting to be. Whereas our neighbors passed a law to recapture their "Lost Canadian" citizens, the U.S. today chases people away based on color or creed. Just like the German Nazis.

A picture worth a thousand words! Highlights the need for impeachment of CJ Roberts and immediate legislation to reform our Project2025-captured SCOTUS once Dems get control of congress. Vote for Democrats up and down your ballot IF the candidates pledge to vote in favor of this important reform.

Exactly! Anyone paying attention knows what is at stake. The "frogs" who perish in the boiling pot (read: MAGA) will realize too late what Trump & Co are doing to destroy our democracy. Don't be one of them!

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, & the U.A.E. could soon influence: CNN CBS HBO Nickelodeon Comedy Central MTV & more Why? They’re dumping $24B into Paramount’s bid for Warner Bros. We can't let countries with a record of censorship dictate what you watch. I’m pressing for accountability.

open.substack.com/pub/dworkin/... Even as the GOP controlled US Congress does Trump's bidding at 5 a.m., CA passed a bill to shore up protection of their vote. If you live in a red state, call your Sec of State, and your reps to demand the same protection for your vote in your state.

substack.com/@snyder/note... If this was the opinion of an unproven commentator, I would dismiss it as histrionic. When a serious student of authoritarianism and democracies worldwide, and well-known author Timothy Snyder says it, it is chilling and predictive. Because it makes sense of the lies.

It's about time! Every disenfranchised American needs to call their rep & senators today in support of this action by congress. If this vote actually happens in the House, and/or Senate, it will be as seismic as the vote on the Epstein act. It is our duty as citizens & federal leaders to act now.

Every time I see the clip of Trump calling Pulte "a very smart guy," my brain hears "a cunning, unethical & useful guy, who will rig the election for me." Maybe it's just poor hearing. But it might be my skeptical brain, trained over 10 years to identify Trump's many lies--plus truths: J6, etc, etc

No, they don't care, which is enraging! Turn your rage into action at the next protest rally and the next election. They will try to steal it, but with the amount of scrutiny under which Nov elections will be held, and honest Secs of State, and judges, they will not be able to hide the true vote.

Amen, James! We need more candidates with your beliefs who have PROVEN TO LIVE by them every day. Readers, if your rep or senator has not lived up to this standard, vote him/her out and work to elect someone with proven character who will. America needs leaders with integrity, not greedy grifters.

Absolutely disgusting!

If you're discouraged and think Trump's GOP synchophants are unstoppable, read this entire post and consider subscribing. DON'T BELIEVE THAT FIGHTING WILL BE USELESS. They win only if WE give up on our democracy!

Thx for letting us know, Jon. Best wishes, Ukraine! You have suffered too much and your resilience in showing the world what successful modern warfare looks like (and at a bargain cost) is admirable.

"Weaponization" by Biden's DOJ is ANOTHER Big Lie by Trump and his cronies that is finally breaking through the consciousness of all Americans. NO ONE with a conscience, whatever their religious affiliation or lack thereof, believes that cop killers should be pardoned & compensated. It's just WRONG!

Take a moment to scroll through Zack's graphs. You don't need to be a scientist to understand the trends...all you need is to see the change in color gradients to understand that global warming impacts on our continent is no hoax. It is ominous for life on our planet, for us and future generations.

Yep. They've sold their souls to the most corrupt POTUS in U S. history for $$ and power. They should instead share his shame and legal consequences.

Mobsters are undoubtedly running our country. Where is the outrage from MAGA's with a sense of morality???

open.substack.com/pub/populari... This apple didn't fall far from the tree! Kushner's actions make Hunter Biden look good by comparison. Are his children old enough to read and comprehend what Daddy is up to? I do hope they haven't inherited the tendency for corruption from both sides of the family.

Didn't realize Colbert could move his hips as well as his lips! RESPECT!

Kudos to Rep Thomas Massie, who cites the importance of standing up to bullies. Shame on KY voters who didn't bother to seek the truth, and simply did as they were told by Trump (or didn't bother to vote.) To my mind, they seem similar to clueless Germans taken in by Hitler in the 1930's & 40's.

open.substack.com/pub/heatherd... It's clear: Trump just illegally funded his next coup attempt! Only an overwhelming repudiation of the GOP controlled congress(es), (i.e., federal AND states) by voters through Nov can stop him from realizing his dream of dictatorship. Vote Dems to save America!

When I began teaching Health Ed in E/M/H schools, we taught kids media literacy, i.e., strategies 2 critically examine food, tobacco & alcohol ads. Young kids could understand that ads tried to influence their choices. I'll always remember the 4th grader who asked, "If it (alcohol, etc) is bad for

"Our country is the hottest country in the world." NOPE! Not since wannabe King Trump, the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025, & the GOP Congress & GOP-built, lopsided SCOTUS (aided by the 1%) took aim at our democracy & the rule of law. And they charge Dems w/ treason. Jan27 can't come soon enough!

YES!! And, in the meantime, every time we see a political ad, we should read closely who sponsored it and search the PAC and where they get their funding. (Ironic that they're all into AI to make $$$, but it can expose them, too.)

A legal voice of reason and an unabashed teller of the TRUTH.

True that! As long as free speech isn't totally extinguished in the U.S., our history won't be kind to the Trumps. And if it IS lost, the rest of the world will say what Americans have lost the right to say. Just as ppl in democracies worldwide learned about Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Putin et al.

open.substack.com/pub/heatherd... This is a comprehensive look at the authoritarian playback in action to corrupt the minds of our young people. Teachers of social studies and civics take note...including grandparents teaching critical thinking skills to the next generation so they won't fall prey

Sadly, I haven't seen a truer headline in years. Vote for young progressive candidates with the guts to pass legislation reforming SCOTUS, and the senate.

I kinda like P.H.U.C. (Phony Heartless Undeserving Congresspeople, or >90% of GOP senators and house members who vote for whatever Trump tells them to so they can all get rich, without an iota of concern for the future of their country or fellow citizens.)

Maybe the sticker shock at the pump will finally hit MAGA between the eyes and make those voters realize that they've been duped by Trump and the entire GOP for YEARS! We can only hope they wake up before November.

This is happening in America now. Our best scientific minds are leaving the country to find safety and employment where sanity rules (not here where our "leader" believes he will be remembered as the GOAT of leaders!) Can we blame them for leaving? No. Blame the GOP & the Federalist Society, etc.

open.substack.com/pub/thiswill... BOMBSHELL. READ AND DISTRIBUTE WIDELY.

open.substack.com/pub/amberbat... Well, this explains why Trump is in love with Orban, doesn't it? Americans need to know where the Heritage Foundation (remember Project 2025) is getting the $$ to ruin OUR democracy. Crooks worldwide are working in concert to end democracy in the U.S. and abroad.

open.substack.com/pub/mitchthe... Read. Recognize the truth and the danger it represents for the future of our nation. Spread the word far and wide, or we really won't have a democratic country anymore.

I hear your POV. To answer your❓️: we're posting here, speaking to family & friends, sending small $ donations to those opposing the Trump regime--in the independent press, in the courts, in electoral campaigns, in meetings of local governments & in other community venues. The Resistance is growing.

Exactly! The whole Trump 2.0 admin is "insulting & disrespectful" to their constituents, to our Constitution, & to our neighbors & allies. These shameless liars are NOT who should be "leading" this great country while violating their oath. Nov can't come soon enough. Cheers to my Canadian cousins!

Well said! We all need to wake up to our current reality and vow to be more involved in resisting the threat of GOP fascism now actively breaking the laws that protect our 1st Amendment rights to freedom of speech, redress and fair elections. Tomorrow will be too late.

After reading daily reports of scandalous behavior by men & women "serving" in congress (from both political parties), and reading the final chapters of "Injustice," I have concluded that I will vote only after a deep dive into the upbringing, beliefs, reputations & voting records of all candidates.

wapo.st/4cFyfqO This is what happens when regulations meant to protect Americans' air & water are upended by a Congress & SCOTUS beholden to wealthy oligarchs whose business interests outweigh considerations of our health & welfare. Approx 50% of our kids must breathe air dangerous to their health.

Couldn't agree more vehemently with this assessment! The GOP faux protests (after Dems beat them by turning their own cheating strategy against them TEMPORARILY) is hilarious. The People are sick of lies, incompetence & outright corruption. They are voting for competent & honest representation.

open.substack.com/pub/robertre... Reich has a long, and close, view of Justice Thomas, having been in law school classes w/ him & other prominent political figures he cites. I concur w/ his case for Thomas as worst justice in modern history. But I would call it a tie between Thomas & Alito.

I wonder if Alito is declining retirement because he's smarter than Trump.🤔 What the justice may realize that Trump hasn't as yet, is that leaving the fate of an even MORE lopsided, extreme SCOTUS to a strong Democratic Congress will be the quickest way to court reform, including term limits.
