Philadelphia police, who sometimes get a bad rap did a great job of NOT making protestors feel like we were under some "lock and key" and stood very casually close to buildings, out of the way of protestors. Because of the current political situation and 47's threats to send National Guard to 5 Blue states (fortunately for us, I was expecting that we may see some overtures, I was on high alert. I had my eye on a couple of guys wearing long masks, a fatigue vest, and putting on gloves (why?). However, we had an amazing moment (fortunately for us, we have Shapiro to champion our cause!), filling Benjamin Franklin Parkway and Museum of Art outdoor location. My sister found a GREAT picture online looking down from that area all the way to city hall. We filled the streets!
Michael, DO NOT BEAT YOURSELF UP about being there. YOU USE YOUR VOICE EVERYDAY, ALL DAY! You INSPIRE us, you motivate us, you help lead our cause! Because of this, you are more targeted than people like me, who are "soldiers" of democracy. You lend your voice and showcase others' VOICES. I am an Independent who votes for character not Party, and I look to knowledgeable principled Republicans, Democrats and Independents to inform, support and challenge "We the People"! PLEASE continue to champion this righteous cause. You are inspirational, Michael!
Michael, anyone with half a brain, who knows your history with Donald Trump, would excuse you for not showing up yesterday‘s protest. The resistance needs you.
I do care about the contractors because I am from South Jersey and those people were part of my community. I did heckle the orange one when he came to the Taj Mahal. He was so mad he turned purple. It was delicious.
What’s on my mind, besides that I’m sad to hear you so upset with yourself for not physically attending the protest, you were there, on Substack Live, but even more so, you were there, protesting physically years before all of us, back when you were involved with Trump, and you took the fall for what HE should have. On top of that, I’m fucking scared!
The VA no longer has to treat Democrats. I think we should have protests all over the country about what they are doing to our Vets. trump calls them suckers and losers. I call them HEROS. With huge protests across the country we could get the word out and Honor our Vets at the same time. I think it would help the National Guard to see what trump is really doing and where he is heading, too. Please give your thoughts on this. It's important to me and I'm sure it's really important to our VETS.
I trusted my online sources for this information. Places that I had always found to be truthful. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I talked to the VA today and found out I was duped as were so many others. The VA has been receiving a lot of calls about this and said that it is not true. I am so sorry that I led anyone astray and did not do it intentionally.
THANK YOU Michael. Finally subscribed because I have time to listen. Hope you had a good Fathers Day. thanks for all that you do to bring awareness to everyone.
I love this, Michael! It was said perfectly!
Thanks Michael and Happy Father's Day 🏆
DOGE is an abomination .
What should We the People do besides marching?
He is making lots of money on Crypto and is being manipulated
St. Louis had a lot more than 10,000 protesters collectively.
tRUMP has never lived with a budget in his entire life. He doesn't know how to cut back on expenses.

I’m awake. It’s 2:05amCST.
I read today that 25% of the people in the US are unemployed.
