Terrifically put. I hope people do realise that no matter who they are they are important. Even if they think they can only do a little, then do that. Don’t let the Bleeps get you down. Don’t let them win. It’s all the people looking out for each other that is going to see this movement successful. Backing you in this from 🇮🇪

As it hit me that I read every one of your Substacks & find your videos so informative & interesting that even if I am living on the Social Security, that that mfer had the nerve to call a Ponzi Scheme (I have been putting money into SS since I was 14!), I want to be a paid subscriber to you.

I was at one local protest saturday, my brother in law was at one for postal service yesterday! There is an uprising.. People are PISSED off and being angry won't do anything and people are getting out and doing something now! I can't wait to see what all this brings! So many people protesting have to be making waves.. that turn into a tsunami

Yes you enjoy your life living in an authoritarian dictatorship and I’ll enjoy my new life of leisure on the island of Phuket. Great beaches, world class scuba diving, superb and affordable medical care, low cost housing of living, and no MAGATS to ever have to think about again. And weed is legal. I’ve got several nice villas picked out to take a look at when i fly over in April to check it all out. Good luck! Hope you’ve got lots and lots and lots of ammo and rice because you’re probably going to need it inside of a year. 👋🏻

appeasement definitely doesn't work nor does ignoring the moment. we fought an entire war over it. if YOU want to give up, just go live in a cave and let the rest of us do the work you refuse to do.

You’ve given up, and you haven’t even tried! And don’t you dare use your Debbie Downer attitude to try to make me & millions of others give up. Go post your crap on X, but not here.

Hardly. Your protests will not cause the burgeoning regime to alter its course. But, good luck!

"...the reality is, the enemy we’re fighting doesn’t care about your age or your race. The oligarchs don’t care if you’re young or old, black or white, a man or a woman. They only care about one thing: power. And right now, they’ve got too much of it. And they’ve got it because we’ve let them." You nailed it right there. Thank you, Mr. Cohen.

Well said. Tucson followed Tempe with over 20,000 people. Nearly 35,000 people in the land of Kari Lake, Andy Biggs and Paul Gossar! I hope the rest of the Dems are paying attention. Kelly and Gallegos held townhalls which is good but so few people know about them that at best 100 people show up. They also stuck to the "we're fighting for you" platitudes. We need more than that from them in this moment. Kelly & Gallegos should have been standing alongside Bernie & AOC.

It is not only a US national struggle, but an international conflict inside the western world. The same division as 1945, but different geographical distribution.

Saw the Democracy Duo in Denver on Friday and while it was exhilarating, but now what? Is Elon simply going to buy off every damn election or fix them with his “beautiful computers?” I’m uplifted and dejected at the same time.

Keep at it, we are in the getting stem phase! In NC we had 250 people. Then 350 people in two consecutive protests at senators office. And then, 1000 people at a cardboard cutout townhall that he refused to attend. When all the steam is gathered we will slowly roll like a steam locomotive. At full speed they will not be able to contain WE THE PEOPLE!

Excellent article! Thank you for the encouragement which we all need right now. Our community needs to feel like we did after 9/11. We have to take a stand. Dammit, I don't intend to spend my last years on earth being bullied.

I really love that Bernie and AOC have teamed up and are attracting such huge crowds. I also love that F-Elon is attracting crowds... of protesters at Tesla dealerships!
