Bold Action Now Brings Victory Tomorrow All of us who care about democracy must push our Democratic representatives to be bold NOW! www.meidasplus.com/p/bold-actio...
O Happy Day! www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-t....
This article, from The Atlantic today, gives me hope. God bless all the lawyers who are working so hard on all these cases. They are helping to save us! www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Unions are totally vital. Union strong!
Is this what you spend your days doing? Lol!
You're right, Nicolas. I saw Ken Burns interviewed by Nicole Wallace on her "The Best People" show. He also said no one was ever converted by telling them "you're wrong," either. The only way is meeting them where they are & having conversations - even seeing if there are any areas of agreement.
I am a big fan of vaccines also - add in shingles vaccine,
Absolutely. Makes one incredibly angry & heartbroken at the same time to see so many work sometimes 2 or 3 jobs trying to make ends meet, let alone afford a vacation or a new car, while some human beings hoard millions & billions of dollars. This kind of inequity led some straight to Trump's door.
I'm always forgetting about this big swath of people who chose not to vote. Hope we can get them voting blue in the future.
Tragedy Brings Out The Christian Nationalism in Trump’s Administration This is very scary stuff, indeed. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
And so it goes...:(
My Indiana - Ugh! Vote Blue.
Happy Labor Day! Union Strong!
All kinds of folks voted for Trump - certainly Big Corp, Big Oil, Big Tech did & spent lots of money to elect him b/c they knew they'd get big contracts & no gov. watchdogs. Lots of poor schmucks voted for him because they felt invisible to the Dems & believed the load of crap Trump shoveled them.
You are totally right - Trump's - along with Russell Vought's and Stephen Miller's - whole plan was to destroy our democracy, and to shred the Constitution. Their plan is to replace it all with an autocracy of white racist Christian Nationals. Oy vey!
Now, there's an idea! :)
Who's this fool??
Really!!
Isn't that beautiful. Thanks for the post.
Wow! That's amazing! Good on you.
So funny!
Aren't these people the pits? I just heard that a judge also ruled that Trump cannot summarily deport people without due process, I believe the ruling said as long as they had been in the US for at least 2 years. I love all the losses Trump and his felonious pals are getting.
Oh boy, and here we are! Ugh!
He was great! I saw him on MSNBC shortly after this happened. Isn't that what we all would like to see more of - someone who stands between ICE and its victims.
Yes, I read and heard this one today also. I didn't know this history either, and it was, of course, informative and upsetting. HCR is my favorite - she is so knowledgeable and puts everything in context.
Such a beautiful bird. Thanks for the post.
This made me laugh. Thanks for the post. :)
So sweet. :)
Absolutely! Union Strong!
This is a good post. You're right, the "I know a guy" economy/culture is fast disappearing. I'm a realtor & have a list of "guys" for clients preparing their homes for sale & need painters, handymen, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, carpet cleaners, junk removers, etc. I depend on those guys!
I like this thinking.
Awesome picture of an awesome group of friends. :)
That's so funny. I thought it was Stephen Miller at first. :)
Absolutely. I always think of that. Lol!
Amen!
Enjoy your substacks, interviews, etc.
What a mess, no?
This made me laugh. I can identify. :)
Totally agree with you. Today's HHS under RFK, Jr. is a horror show. I keep thinking about his father - in this case, the apple did fall far, very far, from the tree. :(
I think you are definitely right.
I agree with you, Bill. I think so too.
This is great! It's the kind of thing Mamdani wants to do in NYC.
Totally "yes." He looks like he'd be a very careful driver. :)
Good on him! The way this administration of white supremacists working to erase black history is disgusting.
Boy, have you got that right!
I totally agree, and I think the word "sin" is right on target. I saw a video of Karoline Levitt in a circle of Trump stooges actually praying. I can't imagine what she and her compatriots might be asking God for.
It sure is an Orwellian world. :(
Un-f--king-believable.
Totally true. Totally disgusting...and frightening.
Totally agree with you! The MSM has completely abdicated any role it might have played in sounding the alarm. To them, it's just another day in America. Ugh!
It has definitely led to that, and if it's not stopped soon, the America we love will be gone also.
It is so appalling, isn't it? I listen or read Heather Cox Richardson every day. She believes Stephen Miller and Russell Vought are the ones really running the government. Two more loathsome men would be hard to imagine.
You are absolutely right. They are a bunch of pigs.
Everyone who's sane and cares about children and the rest of us.
We sure do live in an upside-down world. :(
They should certainly lose something.
Very good point. So awful. I'm not sure why schools can't ban them from entering.
How disgusting is this!!
Ah...now there's something I hadn't thought of. I'm wondering where Trump will be on Jan. 20, 2029. Come to think of it, I'm wondering where I will be. :)
Aw...I thought you were going to say worth giving up your honor (like every single Trump stooge has done).
I do. I do!
And he sure does deserve to receive it.
Totally true. I always say no company ever gave workers the 40-hour work week, health care, OSHA to prevent workplace injury, etc., etc. out of the goodness of their hearts. Those things and more were won on the blood, sweat and tears of union members. Union Strong!
This is very powerful, and I'm sure the French are expressing their dismay with how America (its government) is now ignoring what the Statue of Liberty stands for. I can't make out what that black thing she seems to have in her right hand is.
This is funny. If only all us had the attitude of the people in your post. I always say, "Man is the only species stupid enough to create the means of its own demise."
So glad priests are speaking out.
Love this guy! Talarico for President.
Absolutely!
This is great! I hope the judge gags them all!
You can't make this lunacy up!
Lol, Feisty. Who the hell knows? Again, if this were Joe Biden, they'd be carting him off to the looney bin. :(
Suffer the little children Terry Moran on how our country allows the murders of children. Because our representatives don't represent us; they represent the NRA. Totally disgusting. open.substack.com/pub/terrymor...
I totally agree. Almost anything would have been better than the lunatic in the White House now. I think my point was the Dems have been no shining light for needed change, and I don't think the existing group of Dems will be going forward. I am all for new blood, new thinking, and new energy.
Thanks for your thoughts. You're right - in this administration, cruelty is the whole point. It isn't as if Trump likes his own base & hates everyone else. It's like he hates everyone b/c the awful things he's doing - the destruction of so many government programs, research, services - hurts us all.
I hear what you're saying, but don't think all who voted for Trump did so because of "bigotry, greed and hatred," although some people-maybe even many-did. I stand by what I said - poor and working class folks felt beaten down & hopeless about a better future. They thought Trump would save them.
How to respond to Trump's lies about a "crime wave" Good advice for Dems, and all true. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
Robert - I wish something, anything would be his undoing, but I don't think any of it will be.
I am agreeing with you. Trump and his toadies are horrific and are destroying our democracy and ripping the Constitution to shreds.
I hope he sues this administration for millions. They have put him through hell for no reason at all.
Why, why, why, why why?? Surely no one is asking for this, are they?
Jen Psaki had such a moving show tonight about the shootings. Her interview with the Mayor of Minneapolis was great.
I definitely like those ideas.
I think this is an excellent idea. At least he would be somewhere safe and where the leaders are not Cruella De Ville.
When I wrote Harris offered more of the same, I meant more of Biden's agenda. He didn't do anything to tax billionaires, raise the minimum wage, or offer an affordable housing plan. The Dems are also in thrall to Big Money. We need new blood & new ideas in our party, a la Zohran Mamdani.
True that! :)
I don't think the election was rigged. I voted for Harris, but think Trump was elected b/c people were fed up w/the status quo-fed up w/working hard & getting nowhere while billionaires get ever richer. Trump is a monster, but he reflects pissed off Americans. Harris only offered more of the same.
I getcha - you mean, of course, of all the corrupt individuals in the Trump administration, and of Trump himself. I'm definitely on board.
I love Jasmine Crockett and her passion and courage.
Un-f--king-believable! Although, by now Musk has probably used that data in lots of nefarious ways. I t
Me too.
I like how he's speaking out on Trump this way. We should all be disgusted that a deplorable human being was elected to the highest office in the land & the most powerful office in the world & used that power to hurt as many people as he can, instead of helping as many as he can.
The worst.
This is so interesting. I didn't know those sneaky bears did that. :)
Thank you, Jesus. One of the more ridiculous arrests ever. Maybe Subway can cater the next protest. :)
I've also gotten the shingles vaccine; a couple of years ago, my sister had a very bad case of it. I have confidence in all our vaccines.
Is this disgusting or what? Is it 2028 yet? When, oh when, can all of these idiots, sycophants and charlatans be removed from office?
Lol. I'm not sure it's bad, but it sure is calorie-laden. :)
Very good post, Jeremy, and very true. It is disgraceful how Trump & Co. have demonized immigrants. But, as we know, it's an old tried and true method of dividing people into "us" and "them," when we know there is no them; we're all us.
Gag me with a spoon!
