On 11/6/2024, I woke up to a world I didn't recognize. A world I never dreamed I'd live in, not here, not ever. I grieved for three weeks, then I got pissed off in a way I'd never been before. I know this cannot stand, it is unsustainable, I am not alone, we are not alone. We are building a tsunami that will not only wash away this present regime but also will never allow anyone to pull this on us ever again. We can never again take our Democracy for granted. This is the lesson.
Yes! This is so powerfully written. It's filled with vivid language and strong imagery, (political pinatas, policies like bludgeons) i will be quoting from it, i may even be able to find a quote for a poster for my next demo. Thanks, Michael, and bravo!!
It’s not like we were not warned about this ( Michael you were the first god only knows that you put every ounce of strength into warning us)it was “ Never here” not in our community.I would see someone being arrested states away from me and feel sorry I myself felt that Never Here until I saw ICE arresting parents ( that I know and were a great part of our community) at my grandson’s ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.Yes in front of small children screaming and crying.The principal and three teachers that helped the children in this horrific situation were FIRED our local school board had been replaced with MAGA they have left no floor boards lose. You know it’s wrong without any legal education you know it’s only brown people and not you because your white although in two weeks we have been told that “ helping them in any way we will be held accountable “. You can’t believe your own eyes and ears. You cry you can’t sleep it wasn’t until I found a group in my own community that I can work with we have contacted attorneys we have met for meetings that go into the wee hours of the night we have protected others that are in the line of fire and it’s a longer list than you ever could imagined. Not one of us in our community have two cents to spare just somehow it appears more food more clothes with each small gesture you begin to hold your head higher you begin to feel a purpose to life other than your own family and friends you are learning what it really is to be a American not just a consumer.
Your writing is excellent!! I discovered your substack three days ago and immediately realized I now have two substack writers that are my favorite. I love your honesty and your ability to capture many of my own feelings and clarify them so I can better understand what they are and why I have them. Thank-you so much for honestly sharing your experiences and feelings despite the darkness they evoke. They resonate with me as I'm sure they do with other readers. In that way they draw us all together. I look forward to reading more of your work & will definitely recommend you. Thank-you for all that you do!
Any Latino, any non-white that votes again for this regime just shows how dumb people are! Did you have it so bad under the previous regime? At least you were not facing deportation
Michael, I watched your interview with Ben on the Meidas Touch Network this morning and it led me to your Substack and this article. How wonderfully written it was and such a powerful piece of truth. People are waiting for it to happen and it’s already here! I’m in Montreal and everything is Made In Canada everywhere and Elbows Up… our election is coming up in like 10 days and it’s a very nervous time… Polievre SAYS he’s against Dump but I don’t trust him. Pray for us… I’m also worried Grump is not talking about Canada lately cuz he’s been planning our invasion. As a Montrealer, we’re one of the first on the list, I’m sure, due to our proximity to NYC, Maine, Vermont… it’s not looking hopeful. The population doesn’t look prepared, to be honest.
Please, God, if you can hear us. Please deliver us from evil and protect those who fight for the better of us all! Be safe, everyone, on this Good Friday 2025
tRump will never do what he said he would do when he was trying to collect votes. He lied then and is still lying. He and his regime needs to go. We need our Country back. We need rights for everyone. We need honesty and our Constitution back. We need Democracy. We need food that we can afford. We need the right to live in a Country that wants the best of its people. We the people, do not want to live like this. Only tRump, his regime, and some of his maga do. And only some of his maga. Are you listening, Johnson? Start doing the right thing, because, this is coming down on your head because you think you are tRump and want to be cloned. I think you used to probably be a half decent man, but now you are no longer. Just a wantabe clone. How disgusting. How can any of you look your spouse in the face. How can you look at your children and grandchildren and wish any of this on them. Your money will only take you so far. After it is gone because of the economy what will you do then? You will become a jester in tRump's court, shining his gold trinkets, wiping his shoes and kissing his feet. When, he not longer has any use for you, you will be pushed aside And the Supreme Court, you gave him all this control, without any consequences, why not admit that you made a mistake and take all of this control away from him before we don't have a country. You have made mistakes in other cases and have corrected them. Because if you let this go on, there will be no need for a Supreme Court. What would your next job be? I bet it would be one of court jester. I plead with all of you to do your jobs, that you were appointed to, elected to, before the America that we know and love no longer exists. Stand up for the people, not the unamerican people that are trying to ruin our Country with lies, torments, stupidity.
I have been avidly listening to your podcasts and to several others I also follow. I am impressed and very moved by the sense of urgency and emergency you all have conveyed throughout. You are realistic and advocating for resistance and more when necessary, a direction I support and completely agree with. This is not the time for silence or hiding. We must shriek loudly and ceaselessly or risk losing all we hold dear. Thank you for articulating each horrific event so very well so we have no misunderstanding of what is at risk. I appreciate your efforts.
Well Put Michael! I have been following you for a while and you are always right on point and very compassionately eloquent!!
I believe you when you say that this is not the same Trump you knew when you were his fixer! He has devolved for sure, demented and MEAN SPIRITED!! And the creeps around him are worse for following him!! And So self righteous and twisted!
His reaction to the campus shooting yesterday made me so sick 🤢!!
Who cares what he ran on anymore, it seems irrelevant if you consider that he also ran in lowering prices and making life easier for the American people!! So hard to believe that there is not ONE conscience among all of them!
Michael, this sounds like a novel one would read and couldn't possibly be true. How well written, it moves the heart with compassion. Thank you.
Agreed! It does sound like a novel. It could be a movie that Michael Cohen could make someday.

You are so very correct
Thank you Michael for saying it like it is. I so appreciate your direct candor. We need your clear analysis. I so appreciate you!
Wow! Besides the passion in that relevant content, that is some incredible writing. Way to go, Michael Cohen!
I agree! Truly inspiring, Michael. Raw, gutsy and from the heart!
Go fight the good fight, America.
From an Aussie friend…👏🙏
I love "he barely knew the difference between a visa and a MasterCard."

isn’t there enough to charge Trump with treason? Actually pretty much his whole cabinet should be charged.

Great post Michael. Thank you and, Chag Pesach Sameach!

Michael, I was deeply touched by your latest post. It was spot on. Thank you for all of your thoughts. Peace.
