open.substack.com/pub/robertre... Thanks to Robert Reich for clarifying "who's who" in the power paradigm of the current federal executive branch of the supposed People's govt. Including the motives of the players/usurpers, which are of no value 2 The People. As such, they should be lawfully removed

I'll be there! If Trump's ICE/"gestapo" try 2 arrest a peaceful grandma exercising her right to free speech & paint her as a paid "terrorist" who "hates America," the backlash will be their undoing. They now look both silly & sinister w/ their preemptive lies & illegal, unAmerican speech & actions.

The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rose by the largest amount ever recorded in 2024, the UN has reported, as researchers warn of the dangers of feedback loops that are pushing the climate crisis to new heights and many global powers do nothing to mitigate emissions.

I recommend that every American read "The Hidden History of Neoliberalism" by Thom Hartmann (c 2022, particularly Ch 4. Here you will find what the oligarchs & JDV believe. You'll never miss the opportunity to vote again! PS to MAGA: be prepared for how little empathy the GOP have for we w/o riches.

Well, this is depressing! But there is still a chance to save America from the 39% who are brainwashed MAGA's. At least for now, they are not yet the majority. Register and educate more voters who are dissatisfied with the status quo, and get them to follow through and VOTE for sane Ind's & Dem's!

Physical abuse of a partner isn't "really serious," Mr. Speaker? You are a disgraceful synchophant to the worst POTUS in our history. Your "choir boy" image is so tarnished at this point that no one with two functioning brain cells believes a word you say. You're only a mouthpiece for GOP liars.

open.substack.com/pub/loricorb... If, like me, you're planning to attend a NoKings rally on Saturday, read this comprehensive guide to protecting yourself from surveillance by the administration's Nazis.

Sanctionable language. Zero excuse. Should resign.

If there ARE any paid violent haters at No Kings rallies on Sat, I will bet my bottom dollar that an accurate trace of their funding source will lead directly back to dirty GOP operatives and oligarchs. The ilk that worked for Nixon, despite being disgraced and prosecuted, lives on to this day.

Reaction from our V.P. (whose own heroes, Thiel & Yarvin, adher to racist ideology)? "Vance wrote []a screenshot of the text exchange. “I refuse to join the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence.” Moral indignation is justified! Praying for Trump's health cuz U R WORSE!

Major US Media Outlets, Including Conservative Newsmax, Refuse to Sign Pentagon’s New Press Policy ground.news/article/prom... Even Newsmax knows what Trump is up to...and they're not having it either!

www.politico.com/magazine/sto... Well, no one knows you better than your own family. Read Stephen Miller's uncle's eloquent demolition of the racist's ideology. And remember how YOU got to be an American. (The 79% of Americans against Trump & Miller's immigration policies know this too.)

Anyone else experiencing glitches in broadcast on MSNBC today that is not affecting other channels? I'd like to know if it's a problem on their end, or interference with their broadcast via satellite service controlled by tech companies... Not that I see conspiracies everywhere, but this raises ?'s

www.politico.com/news/2025/10... Yesterday, NPR reported on the mess France is in due 2 their highly polarized & dysfunctional govt. This is likely where the U.S. is headed if we don't WAKE UP B4 IT'S 2 LATE. We must elect SERIOUS leaders with the guts to fairly tax the 1% & spend WISELY 4 EVERYONE.

thehill.com/homenews/hou... Never have I ever...agreed with Rep MTG! If this isn't an early example of GOP reps realizing that even MAGA voters will turn on them at the polls if they callously follow the bidding of Trump and the oligarchs, I don't know what is. Voters, call your GOP reps NOW!

wapo.st/42tq64J Gee, how did DOGE miss this?!?? Vets Admin still (since 1945) "scores sleep apnea a higher disability score than leg amputations." Reforms in THIS system is warranted to reward our real heroes, and screen out those with common problems many Americans live with.

In just nine months, Trump’s DOJ has completely reversed the department’s long-standing role of protecting and defending voting rights, and is now actively working to undermine them. We’re closely tracking their actions. Stay updated below ⤵️

thehill.com/policy/natio... Jarring, indeed, that the 2.4% of Americans who are Jewish are the target in 60% of religious-based hate crimes in the U.S. Patel's "revenge" cutting FBI ties to the ADL is disgusting.

Just discovered an org called Defeat Extremists, which has a great track record of supporting Dem candidates for office in red states. Check them out on Open Secrets.

Hegseth is clueless! He has fired military leaders who are respected, not merely for their gender or their race, but for their leadership and competent service, regardless of their personal theology and faith. Pontificating is NOT the key to effective leadership.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_... When a POTUS spews hate & breaks our laws, all citizens of faith can see he's dragging the country down. If 12 white men in IN in 1925 could convict the Grand Dragon of the KKK, US senators should be able to convict this man who warps & threatens our civic life.

Backed by science, common sense, and experience in a rural community of <500: we can come together as Americans if we start with mutual respect and listen to one another.

I have a lot of respect for the group that put this together. Every American should ask themselves why Trump is not releasing the Epstein files. (Also, we can take a lesson from the Brits and use our free speech rights to broadcast TRUTH.) substack.com/@jonathancoo...

Hey, Kash! It wasn't just the cops and all the other assets you cited in your remarks. You forgot Tyler's family and friends who were the catalyst that allowed the cops to take him into custody. Proof that one person w/ a conscience is more valuable than 100's w/ guns. Might does not make right.

"We hate to be treated horribly by bad politicians, like a guy like Pritzker, he ought to spend more time in the gym. He is a disaster.” Um..have you looked in the mirror lately, POTUS? How can anyone doubt that his mental acuity is diminished when everything he says is an OBVIOUS, self-serving lie?

Corporate news is failing to meet the moment. These guys are telling it like it is. They get REAL about 20 mins in. Worth your time. open.substack.com/pub/telos/p/...

“We’re all a bunch of half-breeds up here,” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/20/m... Aren't we all? My kids are probably related to >50% of Canadians in Quebec, having many ancestors among the original settlers of New France, and 3 Mayflower settlers. Respecting boundaries & ppl, we can all live well.

Trump makes stupid and easily explained and illustrated unforced error by going after the de minimis tariff exemption, affecting tens of millions of “ordinary Americans.” Democrats (so far as I can tell): 🦗🦗🦗. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Just discovered this resource, The Daily Yonder. Here, we find the real stories of rural communities across America. dailyyonder.com?utm_source=s...

Anyone with an average IQ, upon hearing the effusive denials of convicted perjurer/sex trafficker Maxwell of ever seeing Trump doing anything "inappropriate" should immediately recall hearing his taped admission that he grabbed a woman "by the p***y." Todd Blanche can't rehabilitate Trump w/ this 1/

wapo.st/3HKgmeX If anyone still believes that DOGE's theft of our personal data is a non-issue, note that the true purpose is to root out anyone who opposes their draconian takeover of our democracy. When ppl who came here LEGALLY are gone, you and I will be next.

Read in a Dem Docket newsletter today: "Jamelle Bouie’s latest New York Times column succinctly summarizes what Trump is really up to in Washington: 'This occupation has a different purpose and sends a different message. 1/

indivisible.org/resource/red... Stop the Trump Takeover! If you've awakened to the very real possibility of losing democracy in America, look here for what you can do BEFORE it's too late. Let your voice be heard, while you still can.

open.substack.com/pub/robertre... The smart Republicans of old (i.e., pre-MAGA & non-MAGA) are rolling over in their graves...those who still draw breath are acting like cowards. Their silence is deafening.

I've always said American women would save this country. First, because we think critically and have great BS meters. Also, we can admit when we are wrong. Here's a great example. substack.com/@demwinsmedi...

The discussion re "Dem states" meeting fire w/ fire in extreme gerrymandering is a sad state of affairs. But when I reflect on WHY it's previously been employed by each major party, and WHAT was accomplished, I must acquiesce to its use in this moment to blunt a GOP power grab IF....1/

Last month was the 3rd lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of July. This was 1,130,000 km² below the 1981-2010 July average. Data from the nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

This is what is happening right now.

A metaphor--and an inspirational lesson--for dispirited U.S. citizens in despair for our democracy. See you at the protests and the polls! substack.com/@deanbowen/n...

open.substack.com/pub/contrari... Thx to J.R. for this piece re the righteous tenacity of Dem state A.G.s in defending the rule of law. In so doing, they are defending our democracy as GOP elected officers, incl state & federal members of Congress & the courts, fail to stop the autocrat in the WH.

www.propublica.org/article/prop... When will Congress accomplish SCOTUS reform? When it is no longer dominated by members with the same problem: the outsized influence of oligarchs' money! VOTE for candidates with integrity, and small donor-financed campaigns, not "yes men" funded by billionaires!
