Yes. This is the time to stay strong, stay loud, and stay united. Every voice, every action counts. We are in it to win it—because the stakes couldn’t be higher. Let’s keep showing up for each other. 💪🔥

The regime has been ramping up its immoral and despicable tactics against undocumented immigrants across the country in the last week. A high school senior on his way to volleyball practice of all things has been detained. A restaurant in San Diego was raided due to undocumented immigrants working there. A young girl is about to be deported and she’s here for medical treatment, she can only get in our country. These people aren’t hurting our country, they are the fabric and backbone of our country. Stephen Miller belittled Homeland Security employees for not doing enough to demonize and deport immigrants. We are in a long fight to preserve our country from the tyranny that Miller, Trump, and company have unleashed.

I just wrote about Steven Miller's tyranny yesterday! Despicable! He's such a little weasel! He puffs himself up like a Bantam Rooster & crowd to whoever will listen & gets louder if they don't! He has "Look at me" a syndrome, just like his dear leader & boy, can he lie just like him! He must be stopped!

Absolutely—Stephen Miller has been a dangerous architect of cruelty hiding behind a smug, performative facade. His policies and rhetoric have caused real harm, and his ongoing influence should alarm anyone who cares about human rights and democracy. Calling him out matters. Shining light on the truth matters. You're right—he must be stopped, and it starts with refusing to look away. Keep speaking up.

Apologies for any real architect's who read this. It's a convenient word, but this person has not considered all the ramifications of his actions as much as an architect would in his designs. He is one of many who are functionaries that can be described as a henchman...though I don't know what a hench is.

Without question he’s the second most reprehensible person in this regime. He’s the one behind most of Trump’s awful ideas

But we have to say loud and clearly and politely that the GOP supports him 100%...they share his values or they would do something about him.

In place of a Bible they have indeed sworn an oath to its philosophical

and religious opposite by not speaking up.

Expand full comment
Pat Robinson's avatar

Well said, and likewise with the Constitution, except they really did swear to uphold that in public and have ignored that oath, so oaths, like honesty, mean nothing to them. And yet Americans will still elect them. Let's just hope not quite as many.

Lifting others is not a concept to people who act and think in these ways, yet there are far more people who DO lift others everywhere they go, in little ways that have no greater significance than to acknowledge someone's presence...and THAT can be a major experience in some people's lives.

I’ve seen video of neighbors and restaurant workers flooding the street, but then eventually move out of the way as the kidnapping vehicle slowly rolls. I wonder if the next thing I will see is French Revolution style barriers like people using their cars to block the kidnappers.

It’s insane that you don’t even know who is taking these people, where they are being taken (habeus corpus) or that no one answers the phones at Black ICE, Faux FBI and Homeland Insecurity. And when they do respond they say, “yes that was us” and then later “no, that wasn’t us.”

It could get to that breaking point for a community. As you see friends, neighbors, and people who work in the community disappear it will have a mental impact on many people.

Pat Robinson's avatar

As sad as it is, I hope you are right...so many were fine with the mass deportations and cruel round ups as long as it was somebody else but now it's their family, neighbors and employees, folks they've known for years. Maybe that will result in some of them actually doing something.

Here's a list of other ways you can support the protection of our Democracy. Everything you say, every time you speak up, everything you do is a plus for our team. Pick something out that you feel comfortable with and do that! It is as equally important as supporting any and all independent media.

Take Back Our Country!!!

Unite For Veterans Unite for Americans Rally

Friday, June 6, 2025 in Washington, DC! Be there to support Veterans, Veterans Families, support each other, support our Democracy! https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/04/17/veterans-organizing-call-action-rally-d-day-anniversary-nations-capital.html

Get Into “GOOD” Trouble – Every Day, A Sit In – Join Us In Washington, DC!

Check out more on the website: https://democracycalendar.org/event/mayday-24-7-national-mall-sit-in/2025-10-28/

Run For Office, Join a Group, Start a Group, Make Your Voice Heard!

If you want to join an established group, then look at the links below. Please do not wait for some leader to pop up and tell us all what to do. Be the leader!

If you cannot find a group, then form one and take action in your local area, keeping safety in mind, of course. When you take action, report it. Spread pictures, videos, write-ups, whatever all over the Internet in every media that will take it. If the horses won’t come to the water, we will take the water to the horses and when they are thirsty for ratings, they will drink!

We have to reclaim our local communities and all the boards, mayors, council people, district boards, school boards, library boards, water boards, recreational boards, city planning boards, county commissioners, sheriffs, county election boards, state legislators, AGs, Sec of State, Governors and everything else in between. We have to push out the hatred, bigotry, racism, phobia prone whackafools who want to tell everyone else how to live and get the message to go live your own life and let others live theirs. We can do this - this year, next year, and the year after that - and for years to come. Keep running our "freedom & democracy" candidates until we have it all back. If you cannot run for office, support someone who does that believes in equality and freedom!

You want a TOWN HALL MEETING? Don’t Wait for A Leader!

Set up a Town Hall Meeting without your representative. Hold the meeting and let everyone share. Take notes/meeting minutes. Send a copy of the official Meeting Minutes to their offices. Post them in newspapers and on every social media or other media you can. Make sure to put at the top who the representative was that did not show and where the town hall meeting was held. Then just report on what happened and all the concerns and questions. Hold these meetings weekly or regularly. Keep the pressure on even if they want to hide and pretend we/you all do not matter!

Then go out and contact a Democrat in your State and invite them to come talk in your district to answer questions. I will bet you they will show up!

Stay Engaged, Keep Learning, Keep Thinking Outside The Box

We all know how critical it is to stay engaged, stay together, speak together, rally together, write together, call together, and keep up the pressure everywhere all at once. There are a lot of us, so we can share the responsibilities, thus exerting more pressure than any one of us could do alone, or any small group. We can do this! We Are Democracy! We Are The People!

As Trump peddles his tariff tantrums as patriotism, consumers foot the bill while CEOs raise prices. It's time Democrats fight fire with three-word slogans that stick.
