OMG. I was listening to this live when I got a phone call from my son. He was on speaker phone with Joe Biden. He was calling me so that Joe Biden could say hi to me. He was speaking at a small event at Harvard. My son works there so he was able to say thank you to him from me. Then Biden said, what’s her name? Let’s call her. Wow. I’m still shaking from the call. What a genuine nice person. Needless to say I didn’t watch the rest of your show. 💙💙💙

I miss him no matter what anyone says… I’ve followed him all my life, including watching him fight like hell to keep Clarence Thomas off the Supreme Court and I wish everyone had listened to him and Anita Hill. But anyway, congrats.. that’s a lovely story!

Wow! That's fantastic! Such great news for today! Joe is always a gentleman and I don't care what anyone says I respect his humanity and dedicated years of service. I miss him, glad he came out, and wish him and his family all the best in his well-earned retirement! Thank you for sharing this. Happy your son is at Harvard holding the line! (:

There are a few we can count on that genuinely love this country and the people. I would love to be friends with Joe, Bernie, AOC and Jasmine Crockett. I have always been super interested in politics and have been family friends with several truly honest politicians. Those are the people who keep our Republic functioning.

Military secrets given to Musk, Xi’s baby boy, leading to a brave American telling the truth, but then gets Trump’s wrath…where is America’s 4th Estate? Bought and sold. Bought and sold. But not a reporter has resigned in protest. Not a one!

Missed the biggest news of the day

Nazi DOGE Communicating US Government Information With Russia

WOW!! Whistleblower Dan Berulis has come forward despite a threatening letter emanating from somewhere within the Nazi regime Mr Berulis who is/was in the IT dept of the NLRB has evidence that its secure computer systems were breached by DOGE Not only has sensitive data been exposed to the public space but there have been attempts to download information to Russia through Starlink, Musk’s satellite system

Of course there are several aspects to this whistleblower information Berulis suggests that the NLRB system is not the only agency whose data has been compromised With his network of IT government employees who do the same thing that he does at NLRB there is strong suspicion that what has been modeled at NLRB has been taking place throughout the government agencies Now that all this private citizen information is in the hands of the Nazi party(aka GOP) what will be done with it? Use the data to hurt people, particularly oligarchs who have unfair labor practices like Musk and Bezos But it’s suggested that DOGE is in cahoots with the Russian government, a direct pipeline of information to the Kremlin This is constitutional and international terrorism

For what purposes would the Nazis want this private information? Some come to mind Death Master File(DMF) to affect immigrants and other people whose social security numbers can be deleted so that the affected can no longer function financially in the country(being wrongfully identified as dead leads to benefit termination causing financial hardship and distress) But another more insidious reason for the future, VOTER SUPPRESSION folks Pure and simple We are living in a police state creating a community of fear This is not only national security but a domestic security risk as well Could Berulis be sent to El Salvador?

Do not fight alone Better together than alone as we see protests unite us WE the People

Alright people....wake the hell up

Quit paying attention to the stupidity of the Cabinet. We have told you hundreds of times to keep your eyes on the money.

While the Cabinet are distracting everyone DJT, his sons,select members of the Republican Party and a few of Trump's mega donors are robbing the citizens blind. There is no such thing as the " Art of the Deal ". There is only the " Art of the Distraction ". When you don't hear anything from the thieves they are quietly raking aside large sums of cash in a variety wsys. For example when we hear nothing from.Stephen Miller pay close attention to where he is at and who he is with.

We in the Meidas Mighty need a designated crew tracking the various groups of DJT's money griffters Large amounts seem to be unaccounted for on the down low. This is criminal behavior that we can use to clean hiuse in the upper echelons .so that we won't have to track all these greedy addicts until they can be removed after the midterms.

Listen to Liz. You guys in Substack and Meidas+ can lead this:

Like her or not, we're now on the same side and this woman knows what she's talking about. She suggests actionable steps steps we must take to win ourcountry back from the fascists.

From Liz Cheney

Dear Democratic Party,

I need more from you.

You keep sending emails begging for $15,

while we’re watching fascism consolidate power in real time.

This administration is not simply “a different ideology.”

It is a coordinated, authoritarian machine — with the Supreme Court, the House, the Senate, and the executive pen all under its control.

And you?

You’re still asking for decorum and donations. WTF.

That won’t save us.

I don’t want to hear another polite floor speech.

I want strategy.

I want fire.

I want action so bold it shifts the damn news cycle — not fits inside one.

Every time I see something from the DNC, it’s asking me for funds.

Surprise.

Those of us who donate don’t want to keep sending money just to watch you stand frozen as the Constitution goes up in flames — shaking your heads and saying,

“Well, there’s not much we can do. He has the majority.”

I call bullshit.

If you don’t know how to think outside the box…

If you don’t know how to strategize…

If you don’t know how to fight fire with fire…

what the hell are we giving you money for?

Some of us have two or three advanced degrees.

Some of us have military training.

Some of us know what coordinated resistance looks like — and this ain’t it.

Yes, the tours around the country? Nice.

The speeches? Nice.

The clever congressional clapbacks? Nice.

That was great for giving hope.

Now we need action.

You have to stop acting like this is a normal presidency that will just time out in four years.

We’re not even at Day 90, and look at the chaos.

Look at the disappearances.

Look at the erosion of the judiciary, the press, and our rights.

If you do not stop this, we will not make it 1,460 days.

So here’s what I need from you — right now:

1. Form an independent, civilian-powered investigative coalition.

I’m talking experts. Veterans. Whistleblowers. Journalists. Watchdog orgs.

Deputize the resistance. Build a real-time archive of corruption, overreach, and executive abuse.

Make it public. Make it unshakable.

Let the people drag the rot into the light.

If you can’t hold formal hearings, hold public ones.

If Congress won’t act, let the country act.

This isn’t about optics — it’s about receipts.

Because at some point, these people will be held accountable.

And when that day comes, we’ll need every name, every signature, every illegal order, every act of silence—documented.

You’re not just preserving truth — you’re preparing evidence for prosecution.

The more they vanish people and weaponize data, the more we need truth in the sunlight.

2. Join the International Criminal Court.

Yes, I said it. Call their bluff.

You cannot control what the other side does.

But you can control your own integrity.

So prove it. Prove that your party is still grounded in law, human rights, and ethical leadership.

Join.

If you’ve got nothing to hide — join.

Show the world who’s hiding bodies, bribes, and buried bank accounts.

Force the GOP to explain why they’d rather protect a war criminal than sign a treaty.

And while you’re at it, publicly invite ICC observers into U.S. borders.

Make this administration explain — on camera — why they’re terrified of international oversight.

3. Fund state-level resistance infrastructure.

Don’t just send postcards. Send resources.

Channel DNC funds into rapid-response teams, legal defense coalitions, sanctuary networks, and digital security training.

If the federal government is hijacked, build power underneath it.

If the laws become tools of oppression, help people resist them legally, locally, and boldly.

This is not campaign season — this is an authoritarian purge.

Stop campaigning.

Act like this is the end of democracy, because it is.

We WILL REMEMBER the warriors come primaries.

Fighting this regime should be your marketing strategy.

And let’s be clear:

The reason the other side always seems three steps ahead is because they ARE.

They prepared for this.

They infiltrated school boards, courts, local legislatures, and police unions.

They built a machine while you wrote press releases.

We’re reacting — they’ve been executing a plan for years.

It’s time to shift from panic to blueprint.

You should already be working with strategists and military minds on PROJECT 2029 —

a coordinated, long-term plan to rebuild this country when the smoke clears.

You should be publicly laying out:

• The laws and amendments you’ll pass to ensure this never happens again

• The systems you’ll tear down and the safeguards you’ll enshrine

• The plan to hold perpetrators of human atrocities accountable

• The urgent commitment to immediately bring home those sold into slavery in El Salvador

You say you’re the party of the people?

Then show the people the plan.

4. Use your platform to educate the public on rights and resistance tactics.

If they’re going to strip us of rights and lie about it — arm the people with truth.

Text campaigns. Mass trainings. Downloadable “Know Your Rights” kits. Multilingual legal guides. Encrypted phone trees.

Give people tools, not soundbites.

We don’t need more slogans.

We need survival manuals.

5. Leverage international media and watchdogs.

Stop hoping U.S. cable news will wake up.

They’re too busy playing both sides of fascism.

Feed the real stories to BBC, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, Reuters, Der Spiegel — hell, leak them to anonymous dropboxes if you have to.

Make what’s happening in America a global scandal.

And stop relying on platforms that are actively suppressing truth.

Start leveraging Substack. Use Bluesky.

That’s where the resistance is migrating. That’s where censorship hasn’t caught up.

If the mainstream won’t carry the truth — outflank them.

Get creative. Go underground. Go global.

If our democracy is being dismantled in broad daylight, make sure the whole world sees it — and make sure we’re still able to say it.

6. Create a digital safe haven for whistleblowers and defectors.

Not everyone inside this regime is loyal.

Some are scared. Some want out.

Build the channels.

Encrypted. Anonymous. Protected.

Make it easy for the cracks in the system to become gaping holes.

And while you’re at it?

Stop ostracizing MAGA defectors.

Everyone makes mistakes — even glaring, critical ones.

We are not the bullies.

We are not the ones filled with hate.

And it is not your job to shame people who finally saw the fire and chose to step out of it.

They will have to deal with that internal struggle — the guilt of putting a very dangerous and callous regime in power.

But they’re already outnumbered. Don’t push them back into the crowd.

We don’t need purity.

We need numbers.

We need people willing to burn their red hats and testify against the machine they helped build.

7. Study the collapse—and the comeback.

You should be learning from South Korea and how they managed their brief rule under dictatorship.

They didn’t waste time chasing the one man with absolute immunity.

They went after the structure.

The aides. The enforcers. The loyalists. The architects.

They knocked out the foundation one pillar at a time —

until the “strongman” had no one left to stand on.

And his power crumbled beneath him.

You should be independently investigating every author of Project 2025,

every aide who defies court orders,

every communications director repeating lies,

every policy writer enabling cruelty,

every water boy who keeps this engine running.

You can’t stop a regime by asking the king to sit down.

You dismantle the throne he’s standing on — one coward at a time.

Stop being scared to fight dirty when the other side is fighting to erase the damn Constitution.

They are threatening to disappear AMERICANS.

A M E R I C A N S.

And your biggest move can’t be another strongly worded email.

We don’t want your urgently fundraising subject lines.

We want backbone.

We want action.

We want to know you’ll stand up before we’re all ordered to sit down — permanently.

We are watching.

And I don’t just mean your base.

I mean millions of us who see exactly what’s happening.

I’ve only got 6,000 followers — but the groups I’m in? The networks I touch? Over a quarter million.

Often when I speak, it echoes.

But when we ALL

speak, it ROARS with pressure that will cause change.

We need to be deafening.

You still have a chance to do something historic.

To be remembered for courage, not caution.

To go down as the party that didn’t just watch the fall — but fought the hell back with everything they had.

But the clock is ticking.

And the deportation buses are idling.

THANK YOU FOR THIS POST!!! Do you have contact info for Cheney? I think she should organize what she proposes, not just tell the Dems to do it; they'll probably blow her off. Liz Cheney GETS IT!!!
