This one hit like a flare. No fluff, no filler—just a direct line to what matters right now. You can feel the stakes in every word. The kind of message that doesn’t just inform—it ignites.

It’s not about waiting for a perfect moment. It’s about using the one we’ve got. About turning belief into motion, and momentum into muscle. Every share, every dollar, every voice—this is how the tide turns.

If you’ve been looking for a reason to step in, step up, step louder—this is it.

History doesn’t write itself. We do.

Totally agree… this is a time where anonymous, everyday Americans, by standing up for what’s right can make a massive impact. Think Rosa Parks, Cesar Chavez, Paul Revere, etc.

Exactly this. Moments like these aren’t calls for comfort—they’re invitations to courage. Every step we take, every voice we raise, every 1% we give—it all becomes part of the ripple that rewrites the story. This isn’t about watching history. It’s about composing it. Karma Infinity is built on that truth.

Actually, the founders pledged their fortunes to establish this democracy and I think the American people have fallen so far into “being entertained” that few see the immediacy of the moment!! Really, nothing is truly free; the question is: “what are you willing to give” to put this toddler down for a nap??

The leader of the Meidas Mighty, Ben Meiselas, informed all of us of the following. I woke up at 3am to the best news I have heard in years. At 1am on Saturday morning April 19th, 2025, the Supreme Court had finally ruled against and stopped Trump and his fascists from deporting another plane load of migrants to El Salvador.

Justice Thomas and Justice Alito dissented on the ruling. The two of them need to be deported.

Justice Thomas is a perfect example of what happens when rot isn’t stopped at the get go. I well remember his hearing and Anita Hill. I sat there with my now-dead father and he said, “Well, the man is a respected judge. She’s not credible.” My dad was a man of honor. Were he still alive today he would be admitting his error.

I’ll call my Senators (NC-Budd and Tillis) and send an email as well. Since you have to select a subject from their list, and “Authoritarian President” or “Extreme Gaslighting” isn’t a choice to select, they email back a standard response that explains their rationale which reads as vague, off point and pure fluff. It’s disgusting and maddening at the same time.

I email my GOP Congressman Juan Ciscomani regularly and am on his mailing list. Two weeks ago, I happened to glance at my email at 6:20 pm to see that his office had sent a message that his “phone in town hall” had been set for 6:15 pm. Like NOW. Perhaps I missed an earlier message—doubt it—but that message had been sent at 6:05 pm. But what can you expect from a party whose Administration isn’t following due process anyway. Still I called in and listened as people were allowed to voice their question, were then silenced while Ciscomani gave a smooth, pat answer. And there was no response allowed from the questioner, move on to the next question please.

The final question was about the unelected Musk and why does someone who has not been elected have such power. Another smooth answer about how a President has the right to appoint “special advisors” and those people aren’t elected. Yuck.

I'm sort of in the same boat except I call instead of email and get voice mails. I live in Missouri and none of my members of Congress care about the Constitution, their constituents or have any compassion, they only care about their loyalty to trump and none have any fear of not being reelected but I call anyway. And wen I have a chance I tell them since they will not do things that help Americans rather than billionaires, I will be supporting people in other states who have a good chance of flipping a seat and after 2026 they will no longer have any power and they will quickly see that trump has no use for them And I also call Democrats who have done good things to thank them for their service. And I actually even call Murkowski when she actually stands up to trump. And I often call Susan Collins and remind her that actions speak louder than words and in the past despite all of her "well this might not be good" type of comments she always votes to support trump and I find that despicable.

I live in a red city/red county. When 400+ people still turned up in this city of 44,000 to protest two weeks ago, our local newspaper took five days to cover it. And then it was on page six. There’s a protest today which I fear will get very ugly. Last time, the MAGA crowd didn’t expect that many Hands Off would show up. But there were still a few big trucks with big flags and horns blaring that zoomed by as close to the sidewalk we were on as possible. I pray that today will stay peaceful—the MAGA crowd down here can be vicious.

All this is welcome news. Here's a hopefully helpful list of what malignant (vindictive)narcissists like Trump do under pressure: 1. Get angry and act out; 2. Make enemies lists and plot revenge; 3. Criticize others to deflect taking blame for their own mistakes; 4. Weaponize information via smear campaigns; 5. Belittle/make fun of/insult others; 6. Find some person or some group to villainize and punish; 7. Gaslight everyone by trying to make them unsee what they see and disbelieve what they know.

Weirdly enough, a so-called 'personality disorder' like malignant narcissism is often considered a lesser mental health problem than something like Schizophrenia or a severe Biplolar Disorder. And yet, what sort of person is really the more dangerous--someone with a brain disorder, or someone who is just plain evil, selfish, and motivated to seek power over others?
