One thing I wish, amongst the ten of thousands of wishes I have right now, is for the Democratic Party to stop asking me for money and start asking me for action. I don’t know a single person not ready to do different to advance our Democracy, save our planet, protect women, LGBTQ people, minorities, immigrants, and have sane gun laws. Tell us what you need us to do to get there. We’ll do it.

Elon Musk and DOGE having access to Americans' Social Security data isn't just a major security breach. It's part of a deliberate ploy to cut benefits — using the false pretext of "waste and fraud" — and have Congress use the savings to give billionaires another giant tax cut. Be warned.

But HOW?!? I live on an isolated island in Alaska. Most people on my social media are like-minded, I’m only preaching to the choir. Words are fine but what are we DOING besides complain and commiserating with each other?!? Frankly, I think letter writing & phone calls are fine but ultimately useless. If they were effective, they would be working and they aren’t. Nothing changed in the 60’s until people took to the streets and disrupted things. Fill the Capitol rotunda and gallery daily with dis…

There's only one word for Democratic politicians who work with Trump: collaborators.

We can all agree with your comments but we need to know HOW to do what we need to do to stop this. We are frustrated, frightened and sickened by what we are seeing.

I'm all in! But, I also feel that people in general are looking for directions on exactly what we can do to make a difference. Yes, there are the state primaries to support...making donations...calling our members of Congress. But what else? Is this enough? I would like to ask a favor though...could you find other images besides Agent Orange for your postings? Seeing him makes me physically ill. Thank you John for all you do. I follow several on Substack for my news, but you are my favorite and I look forward to each and every update.

Yes, my husband, Rich, and I are with you. We’re praying and paying attention, trying to discern where we are to be, and what we are to do.

The people who will decide the 2024 election are the 33% who DID NOT VOTE in the last one.
