Love your updates! Recently the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Hometown Association chose this for our Elizabeth Gives Back quarterly donation. We are a small non-profit from her hometown, Johnstown NY, that helps women in need. It wasn't alot but Elizabeth would approve!

We do. 74 yo Vietnam war protester here. One of the best things I did was work to end a war that was killing my generation. No politician (except McCarthy) was going to do it so we got out there. Just like I did recently for No Kings. Stay engaged!

At this point, trump has negative political capital. Why do you think he's slapping his name, buildings, etc. on everything in warp speed? He knows once he's gone nobody will want to be aligned with the trump brand.

Tuesday was not the beginning of the end. It's the beginning of the fight! As hard as you can for the next 12 months. Don't take your eye off the ball.

If trump wanted to nuke NYC (because Mamdani), Mikey would say sure, good idea.

Maybe she's giving him enough rope? The optics of him going to the Supremes & begging them to allow him to deny food assistance to Americans are just horrible.

Totally understand. Hope you are not too badly caught up in the shutdown. I know people are hurting.

True. But yet they did not pull the trigger today as far as I've seen.

My experience - when REAL people gather as they did today all over the US, all are respectful, peaceful & committed to the cause. Kind of hard to start something when we smiled & said bless your trump loving heart to any opposition.

Elise sure knows how to pick her groupies. First, George Santos who is currently in prison and now these disgusting people. Can just imagine what her Governor's campaign would dig up.

However it happened, our country has undergone a sea change & the world sees it. I doubt Obama or someone like him could ever be elected given our current climate. This makes me sad.

No one, courts, press, Congress has yet to hold him accountable for anything. I don't see that changing & it infuriates me! I'm actively involved in our local Indivisible group & it's hard to see where we're making even a dent.

War, assassinations - anything to deflect from bad economy, Epstein, etc. We're in dangerous times. This from the guy who millions of gullible people believed he'd end wars & lower prices.

And why was his widow promoting her a video at his open casket with perfectly manicured nails and giant rings? I've been widowed. Yes, we all grieve differently but really? A lot of dramatic staging going on.

We are broken but I truly believe that the vast majority of Americans do, do better everyday. It's the ones with the biggest mics that fuck it all up. That's what needs to be fixed. And, yes, it's Kirk's kids, and those from Sandy Hook, Parkland, Uvalde etc that are the true heartbreak.

Trump loves a great excuse to juice up his base. So convenient that the Epstein files fell off the news. A good day for POTUS.

I've lived through JFK, MLK, RFK, civil rights, Vietnam War, Kent State, 9/11, Sandy Hook & too many of mass shootings, J6....it's not getting better. It's getting worse. Elections have consequences. Have we hit bottom yet?

No he can't because the only people he sees as worthwhile, his nation, are his base & they love/believe every word he said. This is only the beginning.

MAGA crashes w/o trump.Trump is a historical one-of like a few I will not name. Simply put, we will not return to any sort of sane, legitimate governance until he's gone. Why do you think they're pushing all the shit so fast? They know their time is limited.

If protests become more numerous & loud, will he declare more emergencies & put more military on our streets? Will our military refuse to take action against its own citizens? I know he wants us to have this fear but, sadly, he holds this power & things could break bad...

Kent State redux- here we come! Will our 1st Amendment "right to peaceably assemble, and the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances" be infringed? You betcha. At the point of a gun.
