Ben, this movement is stronger than MAGAts will ever be, because we have values of respect and shared humanity. Corporations that are scared will be left in the dustbin of history for their cowardice.
And we will not forget who supported or stood by silently while a fascist sociopath and his followers tried to destroy out country and the world to satisfy his vanity, resentment and greed.
"[V]alues of respect and shared humanity" don't win elections, as we saw in 2024. And what do you mean by "this movement is stronger than MAGAts . . . " How do you define strength? Wish I could agree with you, but right now the MAGAts are stronger than the pro-Democracy faction with control of the Senate and House and Presidency.
As Trump’s poll numbers go lower and lower, the coalition that put him back in power is collapsing. My view is we will be back in power with the help of independents.
So true. This movement has been in the works for a long time. Hopefully we have learned that we should never feel safe, because we never are. There will always be evil lurking in the background. We must always remain vigilant.
Ben ain’t lying ya’ll this is one of those stand tall or crumble moments. And let’s be real, corporate sponsors will bend faster than a Trump lawyer in front of a judge. But we? The people? We don’t bend, we don’t fold, we don’t disappear when the pressure’s on.
Fascism always starts the same way: shut you up, wear you down, make you think your voice don’t matter. That’s the trick. But here’s the punchline. We’re still here, still loud, and still fighting. You reading this? That means you haven’t quit.
So yeah, Ben’s right. It’s ‘no retreat, no surrender’ time. You can’t outsource democracy to corporations. It’s on YOU. On ME. On US. If you believe in building a wall of truth too strong to silence, you’ll find us stacking the bricks over at www.xplisset.com.
Let’s be louder, sharper, and harder to ignore than ever.”
Xplisset. Yes. Spot on. I think it was on this site, I don’t remember who the guest author was. I think maybe Michael Cohen? Talking about participating in resistance movement. I don’t know if my quote is completely accurate.
Cliff Cash is a hilarious comedian who is also a political activist who does targeted action. He works with a few organizations, including FLARE & does congress visits, foxtakedown, protests at the Heritage Foundation, & more, all while still touring his live comedy shows. He's actually trying to do something instead of just sitting there waiting for someone else to fix this mess. There is big stuff coming to DC in the next few days & weeks. Look him up, help him out, get on board 💖🇦🇺
I watch MSNBC, they seem to be covering the protests more than any other legacy news, but of course, not near enough! Social media is the best resource & at least most of people under 50 are getting the news.
Shawn, I don’t watch MSM due to the fact that they aren’t presenting all of the facts or information that they should be reporting. I’m concerned that the younger generations that utilize Social Media aren’t getting all of the truth either, due to the fact that many of them are using AI with “key words” to remove or allow free speech and expression.
I definitely agree with your statement. I get most of my news from podcasts/YouTube & I do a lot of my own research. I don't think there is any place to get "truthful" news. I watch MSNBC because they seem to be at least a little bit better at showing what I am most concerned about (along with PBS & local) and to see what legacy news is talking about, then go from there. MSNBC is not covering enough, you are absolutely right!
I don’t know who if anyone will ever see this, but the selfie videos coming out of DC right now need to be amplified, especially to show how MANY faces and voices of residents are trying to show the world that DC is safe and the NG has noooo business being there. Please look at this and do an episode to show hundreds of clips like this. So important. United we stand.
This is great!!!! I encourage everyone to watch it..it's not very long. Good job citizens of DC! And the occupation is just one more example of the economic illiteracy of the trump administration. Instead of studying real crime statistics to see exactly where crimes are occurring and where maybe a larger law enforcement presence would be helpful, they are spending our tax dollars to have National Guardsmen just walk on very safe streets. Sort of like DOGE spending lots and lots of money to "save" us a tiny bit. Or imposing tariffs that cost the consumers lots of money, not the sending nation.....or doing some blanket cutting of medicaid without any data about just how many able bodied men are on medicaid, how often they use their medicaid benefits, how much each use costs and what will they do with no medicaid( still go to the ER but now insured folks will pay for it because of higher premiums, states/counties will have to increase their tax base to keep the ERs open or the hospitals will just close). and I thought the GOP was supposed to be the party of businessmen who understood expenditures vs results.
After that disgusting display of obsequious arse licking by Putin’s bitch on Friday I was in despair and fearful for Zelenskyy walking into a Putin/Trump trap they had prepared for him on Monday. But thank God the European leaders won’t let that happen and will go with him to confront the Orange monster in person. America we Europeans are on your side and on the side of Ukraine and we will try to help you rid yourselves of this diabolical regime that has taken control of your country. Keep up the good fight for democracy and justice.
I sent a note to ABC and NBC urging then to cover it and I've shared in two other substacks...the more word we get out the better!!! Do you know if there are any organizations that are planning on attending and might need help like with gas money? To me, this is worth putting a little more on my credit card!
Do you have any idea how we can support these victims? I will contact MSNBC, ABC and NBC and maybe CNN to encourage them to cover the news conference. If anyone has any other thought please share with me!!

I certainly hope you are right!
💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you boys for all you do. Democracy depends on you 💙
Democracy depends on *all of us*!!!
Democracy depends on all of us raising our voices.
Yes indeed -- and the reason it's in so much trouble is that for decades too many of us weren't paying enough attention.
So true. This movement has been in the works for a long time. Hopefully we have learned that we should never feel safe, because we never are. There will always be evil lurking in the background. We must always remain vigilant.
And girls.
Thank you I was going to say the same! 💙
If you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything (Malcom X) and if you choose not to decide you still have made a choice (Rush).
Thanks, Mike!
So true about choice! I hate it when people try to excuse their bad behaviour by saying, "I didn't have a choice."
Perfect.

“BE A LEADER. IF YOU CAN’T LEAD, FOLLOW.”
Intimidation techniques. That's all it is. Since that's how he controls maga, he seems to think we are ALL pussies.
THEY GOT ANOTHER THING COMING!!
The person I admire is the one that stood up to this PIG.
EJ Carroll.
JavaJunkyMonkey,You are absolutely correct! Hopefully she can collect the money sooner than later!
TY.
Oh gosh me too.
💯💙💙
Mussolini, Stalin, Hitler… —>Trump
The tactics and desires are all the same.
In this rendition, first Washington DC.
Next, a city near you!

Todd, you are correct. It could be any of us! We can’t just ignore what’s happening.
Keep talking, sharing just don’t be silent about it, too many have their heads in the sand.
Sadly, that seems to include a lot of elected Democrats....seems most are very very quiet.
Actually it won't be any of the cities in red states that support him even though that's where crime is the highest.
We will NEVER give in, no matter the costs. Freedom, justice, democracy are all worth fighting for
Thank you for fighting for our democracy and never backing down on speaking truth to power. You deserve the Medal of Freedom. Godspeed.

✊ I gladly stand with the meidas mighty
Me too, been supporting them for a while now. Best money spent!
It is sad and shameful how corporate media caved to this administration
I think they are all afraid of being on drumphs list of media kill. It’s a shame mainstream is so weak. I get my news right here.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
If not now, when? This has been my motto for almost 30 years now and it means more than anytime in my life.
We all need to stand up to do something, because, if not now, when? 💙💙💙
So what are you doing now?

Thank you, Julia!

3. For doing your part in helping us stand United.
Very good, thank you. Have you checked on Next Door to see what they are saying there?

The news conference is scheduled to take place at the House Triangle in Washington, D.C., at 10:30 a.m. ET on September 3
SPREAD THE WORD!!!
I don't exactly have anyone to spread the word to, but I hope others will. I will post on the few other substacks I comment on. This is so critical.
Thanks so much Pat & yes it is!
I sent a note to ABC and NBC urging then to cover it and I've shared in two other substacks...the more word we get out the better!!! Do you know if there are any organizations that are planning on attending and might need help like with gas money? To me, this is worth putting a little more on my credit card!
Do you have any idea how we can support these victims? I will contact MSNBC, ABC and NBC and maybe CNN to encourage them to cover the news conference. If anyone has any other thought please share with me!!
I actually learned of it when Ro Khanna was on MSNBC with Jen Psaki.
We all have to spread the word as much as possible, and make sure thay everyone is aware & connected.
