Newsom AOC 2028! Public servants like me are suffering. My partner already lost her civil service career earlier this year. Your support matters to help us resist fascism: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/government-shutdown-public-servant-emergency

Newsom is certainly stepping up to fight the fascists, which I heartily approve. I would rather have a more progressive candidate for President in 2028, but AOC would certainly move the ticket in a progressive direction, and I will vote Blue no matter who to start the restoration of democracy.

Scott, I’m planning to attend a No Kings protest and I support Newsom in every way possible. I wish Florida had a Governor who supported our democracy, but we have Ron DeSantis. But not for long and I’m financially supporting David Jolly for Governor.

Ron,Rubio, Rick Scott are destroying our democracy & constitution. Along with the pedo in chief are destroying the Everglades with their alligator Alcatraz, . They will sell out or destroy anything & anyone they can. We must not kneel!

I don't live in FL but I also have made small donations to David Jolly's campaign for Governor. He is stand up, intelligent man who cares about the people, not simply political power. About half of my family now live in Florida so I will be sharing my pro-Jolly messages with them until the election ... like it or not, because sadly, some have suffered a horrible case of FOX "news" brain rot and are too far gone to be saved. 😵‍💫

Me, too, Brenda! I have donated to Mr. Jolly and will be talking him up to my friends and relatives! He will straighten out this mess old Go Go boots have left us in!

I like Pritzker’s idea. Remove trump. Let's quit following the “rules” of the majority cheaters. We need to disregard the niceties and get him removed before every US non-Fascist life is changed forever.

And then what? President Vance, with Russell Vought and Stephen Miller still running the show -- and with input from Peter Thiel and the techno-fascists?

Yes - true. But it would still be a plus to remove the cult leader.

JD &company do Not have the sway to hold MAGA together.

The 'cult' won't blindly follow him. Not all the Republican members of Congress will be as enthralled.

Trump/JD? Its worth a shot because what are the other options?

(All bets are off if Trump is assassinated because he'll be made a martyr)

Without the criminally corrupt narcissist,that center will not hold. A cult rquires a leader which is what makes it a cult. Cult leaders aren't successfully swapped out on a whim.

JD, that dear deer boy, doesn't stand a chance.

The pretender-in-cheese has got them (the RW ecosphere's sheep-like cult) cowed (for whatever strange reason) but once he's out of the way, all of the wanna-be-successors will want to play (not together or nicely).

Susanna, I don't believe that Vance has the following of the orange man. Also, he comes across as being superior to everyone else. Some of his comments are really quite icky!

I am definitely planning to attend the National rally on October 18. I am also promoting it heavily through our SURJ and indivisible chapter networks and on social media. I have been participating in protests since the late 60s and I’m not stopping now. We cannot look away and we need to bring everyone along with us. Especially white folks.

Did you see Stephen Colbert last night? He had Lady Gaga on and she had 2.5 million people at her concert in Brazil. If we can have at least 2.5 million in Washington then that will make a huge impact.

Banning billionaire contests etc to sway voters seems to me like we’re finally at the point of “DUH”. Of COURSE you shouldn’t be allowed to (essentially) buy votes!! It’s analogous to the warning on hairdryers, “Do not operate while in the shower”.
