This Memorial Day, Trump and his enablers desecrate the meaning of honor as they gut the rule of law, dismantle judicial power, and pave the way for full-blown authoritarianism in America.
Honor those who gave their lives by speaking up. Unrelentingly.
Use this spreadsheet as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to your own reps, as well as those in other states on a specific committee important to a topic you’re sharing. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”
This spreadsheet is awesome!!!Thank you for giving Americans who stand for the Constitution and Democracy this tool!!!! Something practical they can do to speak up! I’m 🇨🇦 and am standing strong, cheering you on, and refusing to bow to the dick-tator (oops! typo!) that is currently running your whitehouse. NEVER 51 🇨🇦
***For every person who reads this, pass this spreadsheet on!!!
Thank you! I’m SO sorry for our terrible administration right now! Feel free to share it with any American friends! I have shared it whenever and wherever possible for over 2 months now 😅 but I won’t stop sharing!
Besides siting all the horrendous, inhumane and damaging things this bill will do, I asked do they really want this to be their legacy, are they really proud of this?
I am writing to you as a deeply concerned constituent and proud American who values our Constitution, our democratic institutions, and our hard-won freedoms.
I am outraged by the recent bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on May 22, 2025, which, among other provisions, limits federal courts’ ability to hold government officials—including former President Donald Trump—in contempt for defying court orders, and blocks courts from issuing national injunctions to prevent potentially unlawful actions by the executive branch.
These provisions are not just radical—they are dangerous. They fundamentally upend the balance of power that has kept tyranny in check since our founding. Courts must retain their power to enforce the law and defend citizens from abuse. Removing this check is an invitation to authoritarianism.
Even more chilling are the echoes of history that this bill conjures. In the 1930s, Adolf Hitler used similar tactics to dismantle Germany’s democracy. By neutering the courts and arresting critics, he created a regime that silenced dissent and targeted anyone who dared speak out. If we allow our courts to be stripped of their authority and critics of the administration to be vulnerable to retaliation, we are walking a similarly dangerous path.
Freedom of speech and judicial independence are the cornerstones of a free society. No president—past, present, or future—should be above the law or able to rule unchecked. These provisions must not stand.
I urge you to take a stand, speak out, and work to repeal these authoritarian measures and protect the democratic institutions that safeguard our liberty. History is watching—and so are your constituents.
Clarissa. American Grandma. What an articulate, well written and kick-ass letter. I am Canadian and do my best to support our American neighbours. Please let us know the response from Senator Adam Schiff. Grandmas rock!!! 🌷🌷
If you believe as we do that MAGA fails without FOX;
Eviscerate FOX. Deny them ad $ by denying the ad buying company CEO and execs bonuses. For example Home Depot. Boycott them for a full fiscal quarter. Get all on line influencers to post every day for the entire time. See how fast CEO’s stop buying ads - do only ONE brand - do it implacably for an entire quarter. See how quickly you become the new sheriff in town and how fast other CEO’s quit buying ads. See how fast FOX changes content. All they care about is $. Oh - and next generation FOX CEO will be a decent human being if you do this.
Details matter. Talk to me. See Target and Tesla for examples.
The takedown of Tesla was awesome but that occurred with international support. Target on the other hand, has been sheer determination on the part of US shoppers. Perhaps there should be a regular ‘no purchasing day’ across the board each month. Time to hit all of these greed merchants and turncoats where they live, letting them know we’re serious.
June 14. This protest needs to be the biggest in the history of America. A national walkiout is needed. The free world has been doing its part in defeating one fasccist aftet another in elections.
Now the USA must hit the streets in full force......in numbers that will save demorcaty, all the programs for the people. Start the long road back to the final defeat and annialation of MAGA, Christian nationalism and the greedy billionaires.
Frankly, if we don’t start showing up in much larger numbers, we’ll give away the store. I live in a Trump owned, Fox polluted community and state. There aren’t enough serious actors to show in appreciable numbers other than in the two large metro areas. And honestly, many in smaller rural communities are intimidated. Meanwhile the MAGA’s are happily manipulating the vote and tightening the Bible thumping belt buckle while disregarding everything. We have to show up everywhere we can to mitigate this type thinking.
I would rather see if for at least a week or longer. Just say who and if that store is in my small town, I will not buy from them. I have already quit buying from Amazon and will never buy from them again.
I like that. One week a month. But I’m also considering the layoffs for working families who are having a hard time already. Unfortunately it’s suffer now or see much greater suffering in the future, perhaps for decades. Just think of the centuries Ukraine has battled Russian dominance and brutality. Once we’ve lost America, there’s no way to know if it can or will return. We’re running out of time. We must decide and act now.
I know that it could be hard for some families, but maybe, we as a community, could help them out during this time. We need to do something to stop the rich from getting richer and trying to wipe out the rest of us. We need to stop the lies and get the truth out there. We need honest reporting about what is really going on not what trump says and what fox news says.
Yes Jaye! If we want to change the entire narrative we need the CEO and Board of every ad buying company to feel it personally. They make the decisions! So focus on the most evil FOX programming supported by a company like HD and drive this shit home relentlessly. Make them pay for suborning hate, division and fascism. When one company CEO loses his annual bonus the whole world will change. FOX doesn’t give a damn. They’ll change programming so fast our heads will spin when 48% of revenue will be destroyed if they don’t. Strategically change the conversation. No FOX, no MAGA.
Happy Memorial Day and thank you sincerely for all you’ve done to defend us! Also, thanks for sharing Fred Wellman’s video at Jefferson Barracks Cemetery. I have family members there and recall being one of those Black youngsters who left remembrances at their graves and those of others on what used to be Decoration Day. And finally, I couldn’t agree with you more about Fox, the kool aid channel and real enemy of the people. Gives me a great idea for a new protest sign!
The day's not even 1/2 over here in Southern California, and I've watched and heard Trump embarrass himself and our country instead of honoring those who gave their lives for our country. He's provided plenty of proof that he's not fit for office.
He's in his own world and wants the rest of us to be there, too, with him making the rules and telling us to follow them and kiss his ass whenever he says. Not me, Donnie. You can have your own world off in neverland, way far away, from decent folks. Those ones that know what the Constitution says and love Democracy. Donnie, those are things that you don't know about nor care about. We will get you out of the WH and gladly send you and your goonies to neverland to never be seen or heard from again.
I'm telling ya this felon maniac fraud has GOT TO GO!!! Why couldn't these stupid people have some real common sense to vote for Kamala Harris instead who was the RIGHT person?!
I have a small flag I used to proudly put on my front door. I am 76 years old, my dad served in WWII and my children's father in Vietnam. This year for the first time ever, my flag is upside down on my door.
Please turn it upside right. We are still living in America. Right now it is a different America, but we will get it back. We cannot give up. We must fight this regime, with our voices, peaceful protesting, maybe some big parades for our Constitution. Whatever, will work, we must do. I have a large flag on my front porch, that proudly waves with the wind. It's a symbol of what we are and will be again. God Bless
My grandfather who helped plan routes against the nazis, my other grandfather who was relentlessly bombed at Pearl Harbor. My uncles who served, my father who went to the military academy and served, my brothers who served, my husband who served, his brother, father and sister who served.
Every last one of my relatives deserve to have their lives honored and not lost in vain to a dictator, conman who just makes shT up.
Thank you to all who have given their lives in service to our country. Our freedom.
May this conman be put behind bars before the end of the summer.
Amen! For all my relatives and family who served and fought the Nazis and fascism around the world- Thank-you! We will not give up the fight!❤️🤍💙💪💪💪💪💪💪
Thank you Michael. This is what bothers and saddens me the most:
"he’s now surrounded by a cabal of yes-men and ideological extremists who are hell-bent on dismantling the very system those fallen heroes died to protect."
My father and grandfather got all shot up in both WWI and WWII.
Honor those who gave their lives by speaking up. Unrelentingly.

Thank you do much !
I’ve shared this link far and wide, and hope everyone else will do the same!
Thank you!!!!
Thanks!
I’ve been calling the republican senators to urge them to do the right thing and vote against this bill. They’re the ones who need to hear from us.
I agree. Thank you for speaking up right now!
Besides siting all the horrendous, inhumane and damaging things this bill will do, I asked do they really want this to be their legacy, are they really proud of this?
Thank you.
Thanks for speaking up right now!
Michael thanks for your support and message!
Remembering the true patriots and my brother William Julius III that gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe and free!
Happy Memorial Day ❤️💋

The day's not even 1/2 over here in Southern California, and I've watched and heard Trump embarrass himself and our country instead of honoring those who gave their lives for our country. He's provided plenty of proof that he's not fit for office.
He's incapable of embarrassing himself, that's part of the problem.
He's in his own world and wants the rest of us to be there, too, with him making the rules and telling us to follow them and kiss his ass whenever he says. Not me, Donnie. You can have your own world off in neverland, way far away, from decent folks. Those ones that know what the Constitution says and love Democracy.

My brother who served in The Navy, my grandad who served in The Navy, my step-dad who served in The Army!
Thanks for their service.
I'm telling ya this felon maniac fraud has GOT TO GO!!! Why couldn't these stupid people have some real common sense to vote for Kamala Harris instead who was the RIGHT person?!
I will never stop fighting. I will never stand down. There is too much at stake. My grandchildren will know their Oma fought for them.
I have a small flag I used to proudly put on my front door. I am 76 years old, my dad served in WWII and my children's father in Vietnam. This year for the first time ever, my flag is upside down on my door.
Please turn it upside right. We are still living in America. Right now it is a different America, but we will get it back. We cannot give up.

I will be attending No Kings Day rally on June 14th in this small Texas town. How do I send phone videos to Meidas Touch Network?
Yes, I'd like to know also.
My grandfather who helped plan routes against the nazis, my other grandfather who was relentlessly bombed at Pearl Harbor. My uncles who served, my father who went to the military academy and served, my brothers who served, my husband who served, his brother, father and sister who served.

Amen! For all my relatives and family who served and fought the Nazis and fascism around the world- Thank-you! We will not give up the fight!❤️🤍💙💪💪💪💪💪💪
Thanks to all that served our Country. God Bless
Thank you- every word is true . If we don’t act decisively now, the cost to regain our freedom will become impossibly high.
From a family of veterans of the service AND racism. OUR COUNTRY DESERVES BETTER and I intend to keep fighting to defend democracy! 💪🏼🇺🇸💙
Thanks for being willing enough--and sadly, brave enough--to speak the truth on today of all days.
Thank you for this insightful, heartfelt message. This really is memorial Day. We are forgetting why we honor it.
Thank you Michael. This is what bothers and saddens me the most:
"he’s now surrounded by a cabal of yes-men and ideological extremists who are hell-bent on dismantling the very system those fallen heroes died to protect."
My father and grandfather got all shot up in both WWI and WWII.
Trump is just spitting on their graves.
