Yes we know this. Yes we agree; many fools voted for a dictator! But don’t just keep scolding us. Help us figure out WHAT THE HELL TO DO NOW!!!!

Thank you….

Jean English's avatar

I agree other than protesting and boycotting what can we do? I call every Sunday all of congress. Not that it means anything but I do it. I think we need a country wide strike.

Frank Morganti's avatar

A country wide protest is scheduled for this Thursday, May 1. We need 35 million people in the streets with signs.

Candace Lucas's avatar

where do we find details?

Also, check out substack We the People Dissent. Author K. Starling gathers data and provides a regularly updated spreadsheet … great resource.

Thank you Sage, for the link, this is useful and important-, more than just posting "something's happening."

Connie Larsen's avatar

The dickwads want to screw up the post office n medical!

I did not know this! Thank you!!

Viv's avatar

And the media to cover it!! Where will those correspondents be?? Send the veteran journalists. Or call foreign media!!

I seriously want to believe what I saw (with tears in my eyes- for Z) at Francis’ funeral but he’s still peddling RRRsssia’s demands! Call all of those geniuses who are saying he will put a 🛑 to Putisimisimo.

We need more energy out there! Geez people, someone said the other day that Americans don’t have experience with authoritarian regimes so there is no urgency to protest because people think it’ll pass! NO it won’t! He’ll be more emboldened because Congress and the SCOTUS have been bought. Why aren’t all DEMs united to protest ! Are they afraid they’ll endorse someone over the other one?! This is about our future but also about our present.

DeeLion's avatar

We billboards through America. I know it's probably impossible but We need other Countries to help us out, I don't have the slightest idea How. HIT'em in their pockets. Those Republicans need to start thinking about the American people rather their own interests and their jobs.

B Bear's avatar

If you listen to the folks who know the history of overcoming autocracies, it takes at least massive - multimillion people protests in one place to start being more effective in resistance. Walk outs from workplaces the same day.

But where are the former military leaders who were fired, resigned or retired to help lead the resistance?

Bill Riley's avatar

Dems and Repubs could impeach (House), convict (Senate), and remove him from office. This could be done immediately, and be over in a few days. A bipartisan coalition government would serve from now to the 2028 election. Do it now! Do it to protect the Constitution.

Living in the upside down's avatar

The problem with this is Vance. He’s really the guy the Heritage Society, America First and the authors of Project 2025 want. The only reason they haven’t “eliminated “ Trump is he is the epicenter of the brainwashed 42% cult. Honestly, I’d take my chances with a military coup before Vance.

Pjk's avatar

EXACTLY!! He’s far more dangerous than Trump!

Merry's avatar

Agree. And yes, Vance is particularly involved in P2025, bought n paid for by Thiel and other high tech billionaires, specifically to replace Trump. So that has likely been the plan all along.

Ana warner's avatar

and if Vance is impeached, we get Johnson...which is worse...maybe.

Jaime Ramirez's avatar

If Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution expelling government officials who broke their oath of office were enforced, we could get rid of Mike Johnson, MTG & many more congressional parasites. This would also eliminate Trump, Vance & the vast majority of Trump appointments. The remainder could be removed by nullifying the fraudulent 2024 election results. Of course, no one on either side pays much attention to the Constitution anymore, & Trump & Republicans already defy many constitutional rulings.

Bob Rindt's avatar

JOHNSON IS EASILY SLAPPED DOWN LIKE A BAD DOG!! We could work him into what we want!!!!

Merry's avatar

Exactly! What a conundrum!

H-A's avatar

Yes... he wasn't with Trump in the Vatican City. That's one reason why Zelensky was "calm"... not being attacked by that insulting asshole.

Jaime Ramirez's avatar

Zelensky was still accosted by Trump while he was there. Fortunately, Zelensky fended him off.

Sharon's avatar

JD might be easier to impeach because he's such a Moran and will succumb to blatant corruption.

Doc Blase''s avatar

There is no single "problem". Without Dumpty and his Rubes, there would not be ANY of this.

Connie Larsen's avatar

Yes the couch cougar is a problem!don’t like anything about him. Treats his wife like crap. “Their her kids in church “! 🤬🤬

Viv's avatar

OMG yes it is horrible to think we could be left with V as the head of the government but GEEEEZ! Have you ever lived under a military coup? Hope that never happens here. They just have to grab some balls those GOP congressmen and (sadly) gop women.

Jean English's avatar

This is why I spend my Sundays calling and texting them!

Marsha's avatar

Help support them.

If you live in a red state or district, go to town halls.. not they won’t likely hold them . Vote out the right! I live in a blue world, little to none elected Repugs. It’s up to red or purple states to scare the sh$t of the them.

Connie Larsen's avatar

Yes! Love blue state life. Could not live in a red state. 202 225 3121 call n give a congressional member name. Give em hell!

They are trying to eff up our postal service!🤬🤬

Jaime Ramirez's avatar

Hopefully we'll be able to maintain our blue state life, but don't count on it. This government will do everything it can to wreck our states & our lives.

Bob Rindt's avatar

GOTTA TURN OUT AND MAKE ALLOTA NOISE!!!!!!

I always call on week days as I’m afraid no one will notice on a weekend.

Renee's avatar

Seriously— anyone believe that Congress…. controlled by his Psychophants

(misspelled on purpose because they are psycho) will do absolutely anything to stop him and his entourage ??!!! Can’t believe that comment.

The Republicans HAVE to get more afraid of the voters —- than their dear leader!!!!

Candace Lucas's avatar

agree. I think it's time to start acting a little more like Jan sixers and a little less like Michelle Obama's when they go low, we go high.

Call any congressional rethuglikkkrussians and give them hell! Unbelievable, grown, educated, adult men n women kissing trumps ass!

Call! Tell them to leave our post office alone!

Bob Rindt's avatar

AND FIRST WE THE PEOPLE MUST TERRORIZE THE REPUBS!!! Take their jobs and stand in their driveways at home where their families live!!!

PSYCO TERROR, nothing real but mentally intense!!

Craig Rockwell's avatar

The only problem I can see with the GOP initiating an impeachment is the republican majority house , they are all sycophants that would never pull the trigger on it with mouse face Johnson at the helm.

Bill Riley's avatar

That’s right, but a few Repubs are wavering, and some American oligarchs are wavering, too. They don’t like Trump’s tariffs and are ready to pull the plug on his administration, which will make it easier for cowardly, craven Repubs to do the right thing for our country and the planet.

💙💙💙's avatar

The problem, Bill, is that he's never had to pay any consequences... which has been proven time & time again, including having been impeached 2x & being declared a convicted felon.

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

That isn't going to happen unless every GOP mrmbet of thr House and Senate develop spines

RandomHuman's avatar

Yep this. Dem's should be working to get this done by working with R. But R don't want AoC Bernie president so there has to be an alternative offered.

Yes that is what I meant .thanks

And no damn parade on his BD! Hell no!

Thank you for your dedication Jean . 💙👍✌️

Well, for one thing it means they're taking your name down & adding to The List. People snidlely say "hand me the popcorn," but it's looking more like "hand me your passport" at least until we hand them something that's timed to go off once we've gotten far enough away.

That’s exactly what they want. Rest a day or two. Pick 2 things you’re passionate about, I know you’re passionate about everything, but I’m disabled and I know a thing or two about what it means to have worm brain in charge of HHS. Focus on that thing that you have experience with. If you focus on it all, you’ll burn out so fast. Chances are, someone else has more experience than you in those other areas. Find local groups, communities, check in with your friends and family that are like-minded. You’re not alone and your burn out is what they want. You got this.

Heather.B's avatar

We the People need to demand more from our country! Can we PLEASE put an end to this Trump 2028 nonsense?

We are in a constitutional crisis. So many unconstitutional acts... How many signs of democratic collapse do we need? Impeach and remove Trump from office ASAP!

Other Trump ideas that help no one but him:

Renaming Gulf of Mexico; an expensive military parade in his honor; a new Oval Office MAGA hat painting that says Trump 2028; wanting to own Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal; Trump on Mt. Rushmore.

Enough is enough. America needs to fire Donald Trump and his entire administration and stop this self-destruction.

Trumpers saying “I didn’t know he was going to do exactly what he said he was going to do”, I would laugh but we ALL have to suffer the consequences. I don’t care that you regret your vote. I don’t care that you’re finally waking up to reality. We tried to tell you and you spat in our faces.

Thankfully you aren't living in the "apartment above the meth lab" like us! The collective insanity south of our border is encroaching on our polite society. Quite a few Canadians voted for PP (aka TIMBIT TRUMP) and his minions 🙄. We seem to have dodged a bullet for now with Carney at the helm but we are well aware of the wolf huffing and puffing and trying to blow our house down! #ElbowsUpCanada PAY ATTENTION because the battle is just beginning.

H-A's avatar

OMG... that is just too stupid. America... a variation on an Italian's name used to name a "new" land... That's the etymology of "New America". Why not "New Bethlehem" as in Season 6 of The Handmaid's Tale?

you have to be joking? Can you cite a sensible source?

It's perfectly understandable that this rubbish is in the offing, but we should try to cite refs.

John Laughlin's avatar

Since writing letters, holding town halls, phone calls to your representatives, demonstrations, marches, and media is all unresponsive and all law enforcement is biased, except military, and it all has no effect, something bigger than January 6 might be in order except this time, even if both Democrats and Republicans get in on the act, you can bet the media will blame just the Democrats, because the media wants chaos because it’s good for ratings. So yea, it will probably be a civil war. If it’s real, you won’t even see a test pattern on your screen. No sound on your crank radio the electricity will be cut) no gas no cell service. It will be instant Stone Age.

Michael Kent's avatar

Yes, put your amazing energy towards leading a revolt. There are many who would follow, but don’t have the knowledge or capability to lead. I believe you do! Please lead the way.

Just set a date and stay home! I’m in my 80’, I’ll support demos!

I’m engaged as I can be thus far. Protests etc. but now we need to move forward and make a difference. We need those in power to realize we’re not standing around with our thumbs up our asses. We need direction.

Ana warner's avatar

ill be there, but its a weekday, so many people can't ditch work, so I fear the numbers will be less than we want.

Jimmie Lott's avatar

I agree with you! All I’m hearing/reading is about how the orange menace is moving his program forward. If it’s WE, the people, then we need structure rather than criticism! There are many veterans that await marching orders but nobody to lead. To save democracy is going to have risks and I don’t see any politicians, minus a handful, that are using the authority WE have entrusted to them. All the podcasts and town halls will have been nothing more than lip service if WE don’t act. trump, his sorry ass supporters and the loyalists around him count on us not following through with action. I could go on but if reality hasn’t set in yet, then what’s to come will surely make us wish WE had stepped up. Time is not on our side!

I’m a very proud USMC veteran and I’ll be damned if I don’t do something to fight this regime and it’s whiny ass orange emperor. To do nothing makes my active duty life nothing more than a waste since my oath was to the Constitution which these bozos are trying to destroy. Semper Fidelis!

Ana warner's avatar

from the Veterans...I'd like to see a full on sit in and protest clogging the streets of DC so that his stupid 'military parade' (honoring a draft dodger and felon...hell NO). Do not let the parade happen, block the roads. It will save the $ to repair them at least!!

Jimmie Lott's avatar

What really pisses me off is that it’s OUR money he is going to use to glorify himself. A draft dodger, a rapist, con man, liar, traitor,misogynist and also one who denigrates actual patriots doesn’t deserve the recognition and admiration of anyone. Sure, his supporters may have a love affair with him but the majority of US do not! To hell with him and any semblance of a parade at our expense and to hell with anyone that believes he’s what the country needs! His supporters will find out in short order that he doesn’t give a damn about them or the situation they’re in.

BJTS's avatar

Exactly! I see what’s happening! I saw believed what he said! But what can I do? I don’t have a lot of money, I don’t have influence, I don’t have power. What can I do? I keep informed. I vote. I write and call my (worthless) Senators and Representatives. I protest. I vote local. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Agreed.. can we really impeach him and fire all the WH🤡

Yes because we know they could never feel it in their nonexistent hearts!

LuciaRegan's avatar

WRITE your Representatives and senators. Protest at the local republican office.

Join the ACLU. Join Indivisible. Join HANDS OFF protests or 50501 demonstrations.

Do an old fashioned sit-in somewhere that makes corrupt politicians SEE you. Heaven knows they don’t listen because they don’t care about you….unless you’re a billionaire.

Give to the local food bank. Volunteer at your local hospital. Take a class at your local community college.

Be kind. Trumpublicans HATE kindness. They really do.

Lenni Nyberg's avatar

I’ve belonged to my local Indivisible chapter for over 4 years. I do all that and donate as well but at this point we need some more decisive and attention grabbing direction or I’m afraid people may start shrugging their shoulders and walking away defeated. It’s my biggest fear.

Thomas Dillhunt's avatar

Most of us who are reading this newsletter are doing things that matter. One thing Ben said was to get people in your circle to get on board. We all know people who are outraged but not doing anything about it. We need to wake them up. Ask them to join our organizations. Ask them to show up at a protest.

Sandy N's avatar

This^. Where are we congregating to formulate a plan to defeat this asinine destruction of our nation? Who is leading this defense of our constitutional rights? These protests so far have not affected him or his followers and certainly our institutions aren’t moved by them, so what the hell are we supposed to do?

James Wilson's avatar

And the Congress and media is normalizing it like it’s no big deal. The Supreme Court gave him immunity and he will do whatever is possible to maintain power.

I was thinking more along the line of "If it hasn't killed him yet...."

Jan's avatar

Where people are getting their news from makes the biggest difference imho as to how seriously they are concerned about what Trump’s regime is doing. The truth matters and many are still not aware of what’s true. The facts need to get out to more and more people one shared newsletter at a time, one town hall at a time, sharing truth with neighbours etc. Keep calling out all these fascists for their lies. Of course when people are affected financially then they will likely wake up!

Doc Blase''s avatar

What's needed is an effort as large and as well-financed as Fox News and its Wall St. Journal, to say nothing of Sinclair, Disney, NYT and WaPo.

Some newsletters and back fence conversations are nowhere near this scale and can't hope to compete.

Jan's avatar

I agree, but where are these wealthy democratic-backed media companies.?? If they existed, the populace would not be so brain-washed. Corporate interests have corrupted everything. Capitalism is basically screwing democracy.

JimNewt's avatar

I’m just surprised at these supreme court judges will allow that kind of thing to happen and then get our democracy. What the hell are they thinking?

THE FIRST 100 DAYS…

…of TYRANNY!

… and it’s just the beginning!!

Since reoccupying the White House Donald Trump had unleashed a torrent of dictates in the form of Executive Orders. By and large these XO’s have been determined by the Judicial Branch to be unlawful, illegal and un-Constitutional.

We should have been prepared for this.

Although Donald Trump claimed no knowledge of Project 2025 while campaigning, his plethora of XO’s are predominantly from the missive of the 900 page plus Project 2025 manifesto.

Today, Congressional Republicans sit around with their thumbs up their butts refusing to perform their Constitutional duty in holding the Executive Branch, Trump, accountable for its highly corrupt and illegal activities. Instead, these same Republicans remove their feces encrusted thumbs from their butts and thumb their noses at We, The People.

If you are as disgusted with the illegality of this Administration as I am, make your voice heard. There are a number of protests occurring frequently. Protest sponsors include the Women’s March, 50501, Hands Off, and many others. A quick web search will enable you to find a protest near you.

And, oh, contrary to the Republican’s claims, these protests are NOT funded by anyone. This is a grassroots campaign. So, you will need to pay for your own fuel, signage, parking…

I’m looking forward to seeing YOU at a protest soon!

In Constitutional solidarity,

Todd

Dee Joy's avatar

Yes nation wide strike this Thursday May 1st. See Move On, 50501, Hands Off, Indivisible

Shelia Corn's avatar

I agree with everything you have said, Todd but I would like to add another point. It is WAY past time for DEMOCRAT leadership to get off of their asses and represent us! Where are they? We’ve got a handful of leaders doing their jobs but where are the rest? Are they afraid of Trump? What’s going on here?Let’s stop giving them a free pass. We are watching you. We are evaluating your job performance, too. You might just find yourself replaced by an eager Democrat willing to work for the people.

I knew this was happening. I do not need to be reprimanded. I have been going to rallies. I have been writing postcards. I have been emailing and calling Congresspeople and Senators.

I was born in Canada but have American citizenship. I married a veteran who loved his country but he passed. I am willing to do what it takes to get rid of the vermin in the white house. I have children and grandchildren and everyone else in this country who believes in the Constitution and democracy that I will do whatever I can until my last breath. That is the honorable thing to do.

KayBee's avatar

We know this! We’re protesting, boycotting, calling reps—what do you want us to do? We are terrified! We are not delusional! We certainly do not need a scolding from you!

Janet's avatar

So true! The problem is these great Substack voices aren't reaching the main stream and free media for the kool-aid drinkers to hear. It's too geared to us who already know, so I guess protesting is what we have to keep on doing.

Pete Gorton's avatar

but the substacks, and all the other social media are THERE, and they are part of the foundation. You need these basic enablers to get the bigger things to happen.

The US mainstream media is fairly compliant - so bring further pressure there.

Janet's avatar

The mainstream media is now being pressured and that is a major problem. I just know we need to be louder somehow. I post a lot on my social media to hopefully reach, educate some left over right friends but I don't think they bother to read anything I post. I had one friend say "I never knew you were such a leftist radical" she's known me for 40+ years! I believe she's brain washed by the right to risk a friendship over politics. That's why I say we must be more out there.

Suzanne Jaillet's avatar

Short of civil war I agree. What else exactly can we do? Yes terrified. Do we leave the country before it's illegal to leave?

B Bear's avatar

Sure leave the country if you’re wealthy. For the few countries still willing to let non European citizens buy immigrant visas it will cost you at least $800,000 cash just for a visa. Or try $800,000/ year to live in Switzerland. Emigrating from the US for the last few years at least has only been for the rich, as are most things in life to have a manageable,

comfortable existence. And in the US for a large majority of us, the non top 1% things will get much worse unless and until we overthrow this autocratic kleptocracy.

@KB, I suggest it's not "scolding". Everyone is on edge, and some folks come across a little differently from others.

Stay the course - do everything you think is reasonable. It's worth it.

Thank you! I get tired of being told that we need to do something. WE ARE SCARED AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO!

Joanuvart's avatar

Thank you! I came here to say this. We March, we boycott, we donate, we make signs, we rage in the streets, we lose sleep, we feel ill. And that's everyday. I'm getting a little tired of other countries say Americans aren't doing anything. WTF. Then substacks say "You don't get it! Wake up! You aren't listening! " We have a Congress. Telling my R maga senators we don't want fascism and Doge aren't doing anything. They're AWOL.

We cannot count on anything but ourselves! And NOW is the time!

We The People must take back our country!!!

Before it’s too late!!!

I really like this billboard idea. Something that the DNC could fund?

Joanuvart's avatar

Yes to billboards. Get nasty!

Liz Reinking's avatar

Why not? Maybe with ideas from The Lincoln Project. I cannot think of any other way to get mass exposure!

Karen  O’Quinn's avatar

I’m with you! Have gone to the protests, contributing donations, etc. but what else can we do except to wait for the midterms? Btw, corporate media doesn’t even cover the protests and the media that does cover them is not getting seen by the Trump followers. We need more national recognition!

Dee Joy's avatar

With the way things are headed, there won't be any midterms. Don't rely on being able to vote in the future. The regime must be stopped now.

DON'T wait for the midterms - even if they happen - they'll be rigged. You all need to maintain the rage NOW.

Liz Reinking's avatar

Absolutely! There must be more we can do!!!

They will put you through!

Kevin Clemmer's avatar

His polls have to tank. There have to be large protests. We must go after the people in the House and Senate making this possible. If it takes the more liberal left to fix it I'm OK with that now (I'm an Independent & a vehement anti-Trumper). And we have to clean out SCOTUS. The court can never be allowed to rest for the literal insanity it has knowingly engineered to protect Trump. Alito and Thomas have no right to still be there after their partisanship and likely corruption came to light.

This isn't just about Trump, it's about everyone he surrounded himself with. MAGA has to become irrelevant now. History will already see them as infamous but that is not enough. The time to be quiet should have ended in 2020. Now it's time to yell.

Dee Joy's avatar

Amen! There's a big dark evil network behind him, trump is just the puppet.

Dark maga, tech bros, heritage foundation, christian nationalists have all formed and organised together for the downfall of democracy.

Leslie Schwerdt's avatar

I understand and believe everything you have said. Now the question is how do we stop him? I’m scared for myself, my children and grandchildren.

The only ones who aren’t listening are the stupid corrupt Supreme Court and our Republican Party. If it wasn’t for them, Trump would be gone!!!

Dee Joy's avatar

They're all in on it. There's a big dark network behind him, working to end American democracy.

Yes we (I) am aware. At 80 years old on Medicare and SSI- I am terrified and I knew it the minute he told his voters that if they voted for him they would never need to vote again. I don’t have money to keep supporting all who as for help. What the devil can we do???

Joanuvart's avatar

Im in the same situation as you. Didn't expect retirement to end this way. Children and grands to worry about before I can worry about me. YES THAT STATEMENT sent chills down my spine.

Here's a question is he going to last long because he's old and his shit diet of McDonald's is going to kill him

Sandra's avatar

He doesn’t have to last. He’s not really running the show. The people who are, they’re using him and once our government and country are destroyed, he will no longer be of any use to him. And they will be ready.

Joan Small's avatar

I tried to tell people the first time around that there were people behind him pushing an agenda because they saw that the guy loves being the one on top, and he would be easy to use for their agenda. And now here we are!

Pete Gorton's avatar

The convenient clown is not the problem. The 'Dark Enlightenment' is the underlying plot. Read Project 2025...

Connie Larsen's avatar

Miller, cheung, heritage effers. And that cabinet. WTH! Incompetent, corrupt lieing, theiving, greedy, grifting po💩. Need to be investigated n prosecuted n jailed in prison

Dee Joy's avatar

This is exactly correct. There's a large, dark, evil network behind him and their plans for us are horrific.

You'll only be safe if you're a strong, fit and healthy male, to be used as their slaves.

This is NOT conspiracy theories, this is happening now, behind the scenes. I'm not crazy - they are!!

Timothy Richley's avatar

He will be 100% insane before he drops dead which will probably be when he is 110

Lisa Baker's avatar

His health is obviously horrible. But, he has The Best Doctors & Healthcare available. I think he has a death sentence prognosis except his doctors make available to him absolutely everything he needs to be able to keep going. Otherwise, he’d probably have passed by now. I would not be surprised if he is hooked up to a monitor when he naps or goes to sleep at night…with a trauma team constantly right next to the Residence or on the airplane. What I can’t understand is why none of the newscasters have called them out. You know they see the medical staff often. Lastly, what happened to Presidential physicals???

Dee Joy's avatar

The corporate news and news casters are owned by the tech bros who are part of trumps regime.

If you call him out, you'll be outcasted as we've seen.

Free speech is dead. This is why independant media - MTN - is so important.

Connie Larsen's avatar

He had one! They lied n said he was a picture of health! I say bull💩

Susan Klemetsen's avatar

He just had one. He says he's in great shape. You can't believe anything he says.

michaelg's avatar

I don't think he is really human

Dee Joy's avatar

He's not, he's a psychopath

Suellen Clark's avatar

Not soon enough. Vance is at least as bad though.

Connie Larsen's avatar

I wonder! Not sure I care!

Dennis W.'s avatar

Again... most of us (progressive, liberals, independents, and non-Trumpers) knew what Trump was/is like. But, he did pull the wool over many U.S. residents. That's the sad part. The other sad part... there were people like Steve Bannon and the Heritage Foundation who knew and wanted Trump to become our president. They wanted this chaos and the inside revolution. It's true and sad; it's really happening.

Justin's avatar

Too many people in this country just don't care. As long as they can spread their hate, bigotry, and racism they could care less. If they did we wouldn't be in the mess were in.

Dee Joy's avatar

They've never really had to care. The majority have been raised in a peaceful democracy and have no idea how bad it will get.
