The silence was good, however I do wish the military summoned to listen to that absolute rambling nutty speech had all stood up together and turned their backs on Trump. Hopefully at some point they will.

Thank you for the foot print, can use in my own country as well.

Great discussion. Just wanted to let David know I now have a copy of the "Joining Forces: Your Footprint". Been leaving my footprints around but I just lifted up the No Kings Rally coming up to a club I am in. Sort of met with silence and a few eye rolls, but I sort of expected that. I didn't rant, I just invited. Thanks again David and Lisa for all you do. Take care.

Great job Lisa and David. I am as engaged as I can be, gave little donations to Democrats everywhere. But now I am barraged by every campaign while facing overwhelming rising costs in my own home. So I love being a lifelong Democrat, but I want the shutdown to end but with the restoration of the ACA and Medicare spending especially while the MAGA cult continues to hurt Americans.

Saving Democracy is really good. Thank you, I need to read the other one. I will print out your footprint and see how I can do something differently.

When Will Indivisible Become A Terrorist Organization??

It’s clear from Cheeto’s speech that he’s creating a LIE that anybody opposed to his Nazi regime will be called a terrorist organization

So that means if you’re participating in a peaceful protest, he has determined by executive order that he has the legal right as commander in chief to label you and your organization a terrorist who is seeking to interfere with his authority Strongman and intimidation have spoken NONSENSE Cheeto is a bag of hot air He’s scared with the strength and numbers of protesters And he’s losing the public narrative with Colbert and Kimmel still on air

The KEY to resistance is to realize that there are more of us than there are of his own 10 million of us in protest will outman Cheeto’s attempt to control the narrative Being a bully takes shallow arrogance and we know TACO French Revolution 2.0, 21st century style

The full-time nature, the bigger scale of R's assault on democracy is what makes me so despondent about the future of this country, and why I'm actively thinking of being an expat in retirement. They're not going away....and trust me, as a former Evangelical, I know this truth deep in my bones.

I do want to add, though, this guy is GREAT. I hadn't heard of him. This is exactly what I'm looking for, what to do now, and what to do for the long term.

“Footage of troops in cities or fights replayed on loop creates a false sense of collapse for audiences who will never see daily life in those places. Vibrant communities get flattened into symbols of threat, feeding the idea that control is safety. The more disconnected people are from urban reality, the easier it is to sell them panic as policy.”

Yes. This is the amped up psychopathology of every day life in Trump world.

We are fighting that sickness out here in the provinces — locally and state wide — with the twin medicines of fact and truth.

The resolute return to demicracy begins here in the provinces.
