Please don't forget all the civil servants who are being fired and furloughed. My partner and I have lost our careers because of the fascists. Help us resist so we can stay in the fight as whistleblowers: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/democracy-defender-reader-poem

Currently they have a great video montage posted on the main page (just scroll down a little). It shows still photos and short video clips of protests from around the country! Including from a lot of ruby red states!

I hope it happens. It astounds me to see so many protesting against this horrid regime yet that continues to get away with lawless and blasphemy of our personal constitutional rights. The daunting undercurrent IMO is the power of money. This weekend boosted my hope but quite truthfully, I have my doubts and feel despondent about this travesty of justice. It didn't just happen overnight. Seeing the global response gives me hope but also sheds light on the extent of the universal power of money that excludes powerful billionaires from rules & regulations that we the people respect and abide by.Thankfully I read you everyday, Scott.

I think we all know we are less safe with this regime in the White House… Firing live ammo over a freeway is just another example of how incompetent they are, and shines a light on the pedophile, sociopath and narcissist in charge, and his deranged tendencies.

And yes, ALL of the charges against Comey, Leticia James, and Bolton should be dismissed. The guy who brought the charges against them is the one who should be in prison!

He should also release a Epstein files and stop demolishing the White House.

If we had a semi-competent administration, the commanders responsible for that ludicrous stunt would be facing career-ending charges for gross incompetence among other things. Following idiotic orders is as bad as following illegal orders. Show some spine.

The Bolton investigation started under Garland. He is in real trouble. There is actual evidence against him, and actual prosecutors signed the indictment. Don't lump him in with Comey and James. Just because the indictment happened under Trump you do have to look at the evidence. Bolton may have brought things home that were classified to write his book. Hopefully he didn't, but he is in real trouble. The other 2 it's impossible to get a jury to convict them.

And yet the double standard of this Bolton indictment. Felon 47 had secure documents in hidey holes all over Mar-a-Lago. There was a search and seizure operation with substantial evidence against him, yet the Felon continues to ruin our government with zero consequences.

We still don't know where all the documents at Motel-a-Lardo went? My guess is some of them are in Putin's hands at the Kremlin.

The double standard we live in. On the Left you have to be accurate and look at the facts. On the Right, just make up whatever suits your needs. If Bolton belongs in prison for taking home classified documents, why is Trump in the White House after what he did? The hypocrisy is disgusting and sick. Really makes you wonder how broken is everything.

There is also the “3.5 rule” (Erica Chenoweth) which which states that non-violent protests enacting a threshold of 3.5% of a population has never failed to bring about change. A small minority can change the world. Let’s go y’all time to turn up the volume.

We need to back up the "soft" side of the resistance/non-compliance with its counterpart: economic action through disengagement. People need to opt-out, in as many ways as possible. This will be more powerful than any other peaceful act.

I agree. One good idea that's been suggested is a shopping boycott of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

If you must shop on those days, buy from local small businesses (e.g. a spa or restaurant gift card) instead of Amazon, Home Depot, Apple and other corporate MAGA donors.

The live fire exercise over a freeway was a dangerous stunt, a waste of time, money and effort all to appease trump's vanity. He wants to be like Kim. Not a fan of James Comey, after he lost the election for Hillary with his stunt, but his indictment is clearly just revenge and retribution by the toddler in chief.

The artillery shell detonation is another example of the Trump regime stupidity. With no regard for simple decency. Even though Comey doesn’t always enjoy rave reviews, he does not deserve this Trump legal mess.

One word… Jarhead. Maybe it’s mean, but it’s no less true. My significant other was a marine during the end of Vietnam and is proud of his service, but doesn’t believe voting matters. This is what DC has done to America since the beginning… talking out both sides of their mouths and making excuses for their abhorrent thirst for power.
