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…

open.substack.com/pub/deanblun... 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! open.substack.com/pub/fallows/...

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!

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!

Oh, my! Who would have guessed? Great sign for No Kings

A great day being an American!

Just watched All the Presidents Men this evening. So happy to have Bluesky, Substack and so many excellent alternative media platforms doing TODAY what the Washington Post (mainstream media) did then. What a strange new world!

Disconnected for a few days… ADK hiking & camping. No ICE on Kane Mountain or at my campsite!

Fr. Michael’s words are a call to RESISTANCE of this lawless regime and its Fascist tactics as we approach No KINGS Day, October 18, 2025!

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror." ( ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social )

open.substack.com/pub/theorytr... Rob Marek has a Substack: theorytriagetilt. Definitely subscribe, if you have an account. His first piece “Authoritarianism…” is excellent. If you don’t have, consider setting one up. Substack provides some of the best alternative thought for our troubled times.

This is what country riding is all about!

Great idea! I’ll be on my LeMond Zurich road bike this morning… two plus hours of hills, valleys and late summer sunshine! That’ll be my world! (PS - No batteries… just muscles!)

This story needs to be kept front and center.

Thanks for posting… EVERYONE needs to know how vulnerable their personal information now is, thanks to this lawless regime of miscreants.

Michele - I agree. You’ve captured the essence of NYC. Oddly, the near empty streets heightens the sense of isolation that I feel when I sit with this. Thank you for sharing your vision… your talent.

“You own this.” When a former Republican federal legislator speaks this plainly and openly, it’s our responsibility to listen and to pass it on. RESIST the tRump fascist regime!

Well put, Congresswoman Crocket!

Yes, I was a college Junior when the Kent State shootings galvanized my generation to resist. It will take more atrocities like that to bring down this fascist regime.

My wife and I successfully joined in the training on #onemillionrising while driving home to the Binghamton, NY area from New York City. Great job to the presenters for a thoughtful & thorough session. WE CAN DO IT!

Just do it. Allison Gill is here for ALL OF US!

Meidas+ www.meidasplus.com?r=yzy1&utm_c... Cohen is spot on! When the grifter dismisses the grift as bullshit, reality collapses. Thank you for this, Michael.

This cause speaks to the absolute cruelty of the tRump regime - please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/st...

Thank you for sharing. I use Libby and love it… glad to know about the impact of funding cuts. One more item to add to me list1

"Trump has spent half a year boasting about how he is withdrawing our collective ability to help those facing personal and collective emergencies. The result is that everyone — local officials, mainstream media, social media users, even Grok — thinks of him as soon as there's a disaster." EXACTLY!

Lovely… whimsical!

we can confirm that hillsborough, chapel hill, pittsboro, greensboro, asheville, and durham NC (and the outer banks) all had #nokings protests - none of them are on the NYTimes map.
