All states should be following Newsom's lead by deploying their Guards for humanitarian work. Not only is this a really good thing for the people who need help, but it leaves less of a state's forces for trump to commander. Plus, the states that don't deploy their Guards to provide humanitarian aid will look bad ... but that's not a very humanitarian outlook, is it? 😕🤔🤭

Newsom is so good at this. And yes, I’d rather see a pumpkin than trump any day. 🎃

Although we DO need to see it, as it exposes the truth behind his lies. It infuriates, & that is what we need right now: true fury, at this power grab.

Let’s turn our fury and rage into nationwide boycotts of those businesses that support what his regime is doing. There’s no time to waste! Boycotts and the threat of specific boycotts brought Kimmel back almost immediately. Boycotts now will hasten the end of this whole nightmare.

Thanks, Bill, for your post. What companies/businesses do you know of that support trump/administration? I'd be willing to boycott. Thanks!

Channel it, Margaret! Put it in letters, postcards, phone calls, petitions and protests! That is what I do and as angry as I am, there have been a lot of those sent from me! I won't let them silence me. I refuse to accept they will tell me how to live my life, what I can say, who I can love, what I can read and where my money is going to be spent! I will fight it every single day and I won't let up until he is gone!

Already doing all that, Peggy! Also donating all I can to certain causes and candidates. I'm STILL furious.

Peggy Freeman's avatar

I know, Margaret, I am, too! Every single day that idiot does or says something that absolutely makes my blood boil! I do all of those things and I am still angry! I think about the movie "Steel Magnolias" when they are in the cemetery and Clairee told Maylynn to slap Weezer. She said half of Chickapen county wanted to slap Weezer! That's what I would tell you to do, Margaret! Slap him! Half of America wants to slap the orange man! Not really, of course, but hopefully you understand what I mean. Many is the time I have beaten the hell out of my pillow imagining it was his puffy orange face! I guess we'll need to figure other outlets to channel that anger! Stay strong, Margaret!

I'm with you (and SO MANY OTHERS) utterly furious! I think there should be a RECALL ELECTION!!! To remove him (and his sycophants) from office. I believe it would be overwhelmingly carried. I consider him a traitor to the Constitution.

Margaret, Now that baseball season is over for my Detroit 🐯, I picked up some feel good library books and pulled out a knitting project. Have to make myself concentrate, but I am not going to let the wannabe king and his court control my emotions every waking moment!! And I will be cheering for the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series ⚾️ starting tomorrow. We’re gonna get through this. ❤️‍🩹🇺🇸

If trump can knock down the people's house to put up a ballroom that most of the people will never set foot in, we the people should knock down one of his houses to put up affordable housing for people who can't afford housing. Question is, which of his houses should be knocked down?

How can those disapproval %ages still be as low as they are? Why are things relatively even? I’d rather see 70% disapproval, or 80% - but truly, only around half the nation is paying attention? Or do only half recognize the severe danger we’re in?

I think some of those who still approve are either hardcore MAGA and/or their bruised egos, knowing the country hates their dear leader and resents them for voting for him, won't let them admit their mistake.

So many people don’t vote they work for their paycheck, and struggle to provide their families with basic needs. They don’t pay attention to political news, or they only watch FOX. They have no idea that our Country is being destroyed. The question is, how do we reach them?

That is exactly how the National Guard should be used by what Governor Newsom is doing and he is probably making sure they are being fed. As for the Nazi withdrawing his name, I wish the same could have been done with Hegseth, Noem, Kennedy and all the others.

And now the frightening thing that is happening, the billionaires are trying to take over our voting rights before 2026 elections. All I can say, there is more of us than there is of them. We should start mass walk away from purchasing from them - Amazon, Starbucks, Home Depot, Lowe's, MacDonald's to name just a few.
