I watched and really like what they said
I watched that today and it was marvelous! You guys are so good together.👏👏👏
Great panel and discussing. I’ll keep saying this, women will save the country. Or Womensaveamerica!

We need wise women in the mold of these intellectual giants to lead us out of this! We've learned (twice) where old, unqualified, mentally ill populists mismanage economy & global stability. We can't let men f-it up again"
So much brains in such a small square, amazing women they all are, they care they are making a difference, thankyou 😊👍🏻
Fabulous!! But a gathering of women in independent media without Stephanie Miller, is an incomplete gathering!!! She practically invented women in independent media!!!
More please! 🙏
That was really great!! What a fantastic fierce group of woman who every day put themselves out there to help us all not feel as alone in this craziness. Thank you ❤️
I also listen to you and Andy religiously on Sunday! One of my favorite white males .. lol

Ladies..it was great! So enjoyed getting you all together for some positive and powerful moments. Please look into perhaps "guesting" Jennifer Welch ( originator of "Cankles McTacotits) and Danielle Moodie..a very witty and intelligent woman!
All my faves in one place. 💙💙💙
Amazing women! 👏👏👏👏
LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS DISCUSSION!! Shared video with friends via Bsky, FB, email, and text message. Amplify Democracy!
Yes!!! Amazing!!!! Thank you to each of you strong women for this! ❤️❤️❤️
Loved it!
Thank you for this! Next time, plz make sure to invite any and all of the amazing women of color doing this work - I know we often invite who we know - but reach out to brown and black women!!!
I listened to it last night was a great broadcast. Hope it was the first of many.
Yes, it was a good discussion! Encore!
Thank you, ladies!💙

Wow,just wow
Brilliant!
Absolutely stunning and amazing etc
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for all y’all do…

Brilliant women having a smart conversation. Loved it!
Wow! Impressive lineup!
Came here to say this!
Please consider including @rachelgilmore.bsky.social for the next edition! 👍
These are all amazing voices of women who are fighting to elevate consciousness of all who listen. They know what is going down, and they know the demographics of 2024 vote.
@hcrichardson.bsky.social Is awesome!!
Today I was nearly suspended from work do to a MAGA not liking my my TikTok videos. After HR did an investigation, it was dismissed as baseless allegations. So, I am not going to be suspended. But it is scary that they are so willing to try and get you fired with their lies.
That’s quite the all-star panel. I certainly see you all plenty of times in my feed…
Love the enthusiasm, but let's not get ahead of ourselves – what's the next step in making this discussion a movement?
@muellershewrote.com thank you so much for that. The whole discussion was great but that end part, when Jojo started to cry- whew. The truth spoken there. @politicsgirl.bsky.social this IS a very lonely time, even my blue family won’t talk to me because it’s all too upsetting. Needed that ladies 💙
Here hear!!!
📌
This was beautiful! When intelligent women unite, we get it done! We have so much power.
🎓 youtu.be/rydkn13HMiI
It is so heartening to see women at the forefront!
Fantastic women of brilliance! Thank you for sharing.
Must watch everyone. These women are amazing. I follow them all but seeing them work together & listening to them, has lifted my spirits. These are women fighters, no cowardice here, & men, it’s time ALL of you joined in the fight with us women. ALL of u because they will come for u too. Bet on it.
Thank you so much for this. My favorite women in media together. More, please.
You're all awesome.

Thx for link... you and politicsgirl are def in my top 5.
Outstanding !
Hey there your profile picture is very handsome do you mind being your friend?
bsky.app/profile/abdo...
Thank you so much for this ! 🙏. I sincerely hope you guys will do it again soon. Although I sit thousands of miles away in Denmark, I follow the political situation very closely, and although it’ll be a marathon fight to beat this facism, its important to align and feel that you are not alone ❤️
@karaswisher.bsky.social
Excellent. Alison you are spot on. Punish the victim, silence the victim, (try to) discredit the victim—We see this theme over and over and over again. So we must rise above it, call it out, fight fire with the fire of just action. Do the LEAST harm to stop greater injustice violence.
This was a great discussion, and there are rays of hope, amidst the overall despair of what's happening to our democracy in this corrupt and cruel Trump administration 2.0
I loved the YT title of the Sirens Podcast 💞
RE: J 6ers vs normal haters - the question is generated due to the overt presences of white bullies in DC, not an unseen reflection of the others. It's the threat of - "We want retribution. We will prove we were in the RIGHT" and a response to it shown. An 'I see what's going on'.
This looks like it will be great. Thank you
Women will be our salvation.
I watched this yesterday. Great discussion. Thanks, ladies!
did they come up with some action plan on what we can do? other than calling elected folks ad nauseum?
I very much enjoyed reading the transcript
I loved the serious content. I loved how you listened to each other speak, uninterrupted. I love how you supported each other's opinions. I love how inciteful each of you are. I love the personal stories. I love how vulnerable JoJo was with her feelings at the end. I love the sisterhood. More please
Awesome! Thank you for posting.
Warriors: We need to get the word out about the waste, fraud and abuse of Medicaid Trusts. While the wealthy sip champagne from their yachts owned by their trust, they qualify for-and abuse-Medicaid. It’s a real thing. Meanwhile poor people are being booted off Medicaid. Google Medicaid Trusts 🤬
That's a terrible loophole.
Trusts are a useful tool to keep seniors from having to exhaust every last cent of their assets. My grandmother died with $34 to her name. I’m all for an income cap for eligibility or other reforms to keep the wealthy from taking advantage but these trusts do help low and middle income seniors.
What you describe is a very different scenario than what I’m describing. Someone worth millions sheltering their assets in the trust so they can draw medicaid that is meant for poor people. Does that sound right to you?
Like I said, I’m all for some kind of income (or asset) cap for eligibility. The graphic didn’t specify and I know, first hand, how important that type of trust can be.
Thank you for your comment. Perhaps your suggestion would be better. We just need to have free health care for all. This shit is ridiculous.
It’s too laborious and complicated fs. Especially since those are just symptoms of the government’s, past and present, stinginess.
It’s called the 5 yr look back. That needs to be protected, or they can take the money from your house to provide for elder care.
What’s called the 5 year look back? Folks with a lot of money and lawyers in place are more likely to have trusts long before the 5 year look back would be a problem. People with low to middle income, like my grandmother, are much less likely to have a trust to begin with, sadly.
Look it up and it will probably be explained more succinctly than I can here. Basically applicants for Medicaid or LTC can not have transferred assets for less than fair mkt value within 5 yrs of applying for it. So for eg, transferring their home to their children, to protect it.
I know what it is I just didn’t understand the point you were trying to make about it.
I understand the look-back period. This is my industry. I don’t care if they did it 5+ years ago. If they have millions in assets to put in a trust, they don’t deserve Medicaid ….. PERIOD. Medicaid is for the poor, not for people trying to cheat the system.
Oh, I’m in agreement on this. I’m just pointing out that most people need to be informed about protecting their loved one’s home. That’s it.
Yes, fabulous. So glad I caught it.
This was the best thing I’ve watched in a long time.
Same
It's long past time that minds like those took the helm.
Hey there your profile picture is very handsome do you mind being your friend?
Yes it was!!!
It was great!
Goddesses, all. For realz. You all have those witchy superpowers to cut through bullshit and express integrity. Thank you for all you do!
This was fan-freaking-tastic!!!!! Thank you so much! You have no idea how much I desperately need this kind of connection and woman power! Knowledge, inspiration, incredible strength and real power! Thank you so much! You all rock!!! ❤️🥰🙏🏻❤️
💙
Concerning for a couple of reasons, both the location of the content (Substack) and the composition of the panel (I'm blinded by the white). And before you claim Substack had only one Nazi newsletter, please do some reading as that is *not* accurate. See some excerpts from a 2025 Bloomberg piece...
The women have really stepped up! I honor their courage, intelligence and compassion. They are the best of us.❤️❤️❤️👍

There’s hope with this. Too many bros in media giving free passes to tyrannical child kings.
I was watching. Thank you all.

Is there a written transcript?
Made my day
This! Filled my cup today. When JoJo cried and Leigh said we are all lonely and Dana said there are no ugly crying only people who dont have empathy to do it had me 😢. Thank you all. 🥰
Wow, what a lineup! Definitely going to check this out sounds like a really insightful discussion on media and democracy 👏🖤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Putting jojo in the same sentence as HCR is criminal.
📌
This was amazing. Thank you so much. I’m crying too now… It is so true, but it’s such a little time right now. Especially for those of us that have many family members that are Maga, and no real outlet to talk about these things.
This made me so happy! All my people talking to each other. I'm right in your ages-range and watching all of you together felt like a hangout with smart friends. 🥰😎
📌
Ahhhhh this was so incredible. Thank you all for coming together 💞 what a perfect way to start my day
Happy 19th amendment day.

Loving it. More, please.
This was an excellent "fireside chat"...the women in ages past used to band together for the good of the tribe as well. It is time. ❤️🔥🐉
More of this
Fantastic panel! 💙
Excellent forum with some very knowledgeable participants, the kind of political disquisition I've been hopping for on this platform. Many thanks to Heather Cox Richardson, Leigh McGowan/Politics Girl, Joanne Carducci/JoJofromJerz, Dana Goldberg, Allison Gill/MuellerSheWrote!
What a brilliant group of perspectives! Feeling less alone as a woman in this unhinged world. Thank you.

I loved this conversation- more of this! I cried with JoJo
I really appreciated the talk—watched as it happened. I valued Joanne’s vulnerability at the end and the authenticity throughout. I also liked how Heather listened so carefully.

You missed the ladies from IHIP Ya know Jennifer Welch, and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan?? Where are they??
OMG, it's all my favorite people!
I came here to say the exact same thing! You have great taste 😁
NGL would like to see more diversity of women, but I think they all do great work. Is this a thing? Are you guys trying to make a safe space to draw more white women in, specifically?
What an amazing group!
THIS WAS EXCELLENT!! I feel like I can sleep tonight for the first time in months. I don't feel like I'm alone in how this administration has so stripped joy and peace from my world. Thank you ladies!
Than you! 🙏🏼
A great group of intellectuals - thanks!
Thanks it was great . Look forward to more.✊🏽✊🏻✊🏼
JoJo girl is a fraud.
Just shut up and move on. We kind of have BIGGER FUCKING ISSUES TO DEAL WITH RIGHT NOW. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO CHANGE IT?!
Wow
No she’s not. And it’s telling (and insulting) you’d trust some right wing troll over the women in this panel
I’m sorry I just seen all the scams she had over on X. Asking for money for this asking for money for this I mean, if you ask me, that’s a scam
Listen also to podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...
Love love these women!
I have not watched yet, but knowing this group of kickass women got together- I am fired up to resist. Thank you!

Yes it was! Hopeful, hearing strong women’s voices standing together. Appreciate all the work you all do! Would be nice to have some black and diverse women’s voices in the mix too.
Would it be okay to share clips of it? I know HCR encourages sharing. ?
Damn. This is a power quadruplet if there ever was one.
Quintuplet, but spot on
Hey there your profile picture is very handsome do you mind being your friend?
I follow most of these ladies on youtube. I'll look up the others.
