Jedi I understand your cynicism. It was shocking! But, it has also been an eye opener into who the GOP are. They are White Nationalists! As in RACIST! And they are serious about enacting everything in the 2025 Project. They are truly terrible people. WE do not have time to be wishy-washy about any of this. You are either with them, or you are with us to take back Congress and take steps to put our country back on solid ground.
It comes from my heart Jedi. We all have to be doing whatever we can to make everyone aware of just what is at stake. This is truly different from where we were last November. Or, at any other time in my lifetime of 70+ years. So each of us must be doing our part to stop this administration's terrible take-over of our Democracy! If one is not feeling up for the fight, they are adding fuel to DJT's fire. It is that simple. DJT has already taken over media news. Tonight it has just been announced that the House has passed a $900 Billion increase in Defense Spending. If that passes the Senate, watch for military call-ups to follow. They are causing job losses to weaken peoples resolve. I could go on and on. Read Project 2025 and see for yourself what the game plan is and if you want to be a part of it or to defend against it. There is no sitting on the sidelines. Use Scott's links to easily contact your congress people. Once you have filled in your info, it will auto fill for most of your future needs. You can add a few words to the form letter or just send it as is. This is easy to do and yet very effective when many of us are doing it. You can contact any other congress people of either party or any state about your concerns! That really helps! I hope you are with us!
Oh I see! My sincere apologies for my zealous remarks. And my sincere apologies for the fully terrible leadership of our once proud country. I am grateful for the Canadian support!!! And quite love your country, too! Admittedly a bit envious at the moment! Love to hear your perspective, any time! Again, my sincere apology.
“When trying to imagine who could be prosecuted for domestic terror under this brief section, practically every American could include themselves in that list.
All LGBTQIA+ and trans people, as well as anyone who supports them in any way, including accepting them
Anyone who accepts any other story of the country’s founding besides “White Christian Nation,” including disagreeing with this story in casual conversation
Anyone who says billionaires and corporations should pay taxes or expects corporations to pay for harms caused by de-regulation
Anyone who doesn’t wholeheartedly embrace White Christian Nationalism as the One True Faith and only possible religion”
Bondi is in deep doo doo by not adhering to her oath of office. Everyone in this administration is not following their oath to uphold the laws and rights of the Constitution.. But she is practically sitting in DJT's lap. UGH! She is not supposed to have a close relationship with the Executive Office. It is important that The Separation of Powers Act is followed. Why bother with Oath's of Office if no one holds them to their oaths?
Thank you for covering the DDD rally at the Portland ICE facility. I was there. I got sick to my stomach each time six or so vehicles entered their gates, or left to carry out more illegal evil cruelty. We must hold them accountable in the future, no matter how long it takes.
Thank you Kristi!!! I love knowing that there is a DDD group!!! I have been asking WERE the AMA is in standing up to DJT's outright meanness!!! I hope to see more from the DDD!!! Blessing to you all!!!
If voters in Miami are noticing what Republicans leaders are NOT doing, there is hope for the whole country. Crockett running in Texas is perfect! As far as don-old and his staff infection, it appears the walls are getting cracks. We must keep up the pressure and expose them for EACH and EVERY thing that is happening. Onward!
I think the Domestic Terrorists are on the government payroll as ICE and Border Patrol agents!! And of course all the J6 insurrectionists that Trump pardoned earlier this year qualify!
I like them both, too, But Jasmine is more experienced and she has savvy as to who and what she is dealing with. And we know she will tell us about it!! :-)
Yes, it's a hard decision. Talarico can possibly pull in the hard right Christian vote, and Jasmine is a force for good with a mouth on her, in a good way.
I love Jasmine! And I live in Texas! But I also know Texans and absolutely no man is going to vote for a black woman. Talerico, maybe , because he’s a white guy, but he’s hyper religious. They didn’t vote for Kamala, either, because they don’t consider women as competent. Particularly women of color! I hate it, but I’m Waaaaaay outnumbered!
I love that Jasmine Crockett is running for senate. She would surely stir things up there but at think this could be a tough race for her. I wish her well.
I’m definitely hoping for a blue wave but after losing to Trump in 2024 I can’t predict. I like Crockett, Talarico and Colin Allred so I will just leave it up to the voters in TX and of course I hope trumpy isn’t able to steal the election
Delighted that Crockett is running for the Senate. She's a clear voice of reason in this crazy timeline. Dems are on a roll and your posts are my go-to for current info. Thanks for all you do.
Whoweee Zoweee!!! Some great margins with wins in Miami and in Georgia yesterday... Those numbers are encouraging, let's hold on to the momentum and keep building for more towards the midterms... Keep on keepin' on!!!
Well to start with, I’ve donated to many groups who are supporting the registration, including donuts and democracy which is very effective in reaching young people. So that’s a way to multiply my effect, giving to people who are doing a great job. And I volunteer to work in my area on registration, including calling Massachusetts state representatives and senators to encourage same-day registration legislation. How about you?
Love hearing this Pam!!!! You have been sounding a bit negative this morning and I was getting worried. I get that all this stuff can be truly overwhelming. I sometimes have to step back and smell the roses, to lift my spirit. Be well and take care of yourself. Love everything you are doing and the Donuts and Democracy plug!!! :-)
PS I am contacting at least one congress person a day. Scott makes that easy with his links!!! I spend a good bit of time at several Substack sites reminding people to protect our Constitution and Our Rights and try to get people aware that we have such things!!! Many people don't know that we have rights. They are blinded by how the GOP is trampling all over them. BUT WE DO STILL HAVE RIGHTS! :-)
I’m negative because of the fire hose of horrible, but mainly I read about 7 substacks everyday, high quality writers. And if one of them covers an important subject that I haven’t seen in another, I like to comment on it to draw the attention of the very active and involved other commentators such as yourself. So when I repeat, it sounds more negative than I mean it. But the Bondi thing really got me. I am a lawyer and find it and her so repugnant. Hate that we share a name..
I realize you can't highlight every Dem win but there was another win yesterday that seems to have slipped through the cracks. Albuquerque Mayor Keller won a third term as Mayor. His opponent was a former Sheriff whose platform was in opposition to Keller's anti-ICE position. These races count but are often overlooked for the races that get the most ink.
I would like to see Jasmine Crockett advance to the Senate but will keep to a "wait and see" perspective until closer to the election. Crockett is a Dem champion but I am not sure how she will appear to MAGA Texans who seem to take great pride in voting against their own best interests.
I love it that the Dems are kicking ass and taking names. I hope this momentum keeps up. People are tired and angry. This is a great step in uniting the Hispanics - all nationalities, especially Cubans, against the Trump policies.
Jasmin Crockett would make a excellent Senator! She's not afraid to speak up and tell truth to power. With the gerrymandering in her state it would have been an uphill battle for her to win back her Congressional seat. She needed to expand anyway. I'm looking forward to her taking Ted Cruz out!
Feels like voters are slowly unplugging themselves from MAGA reality TV and choosing actual governance again. When Miami and a Trump+12 Georgia district flip blue, that’s not a ripple. That’s the electorate clearing its throat. And Crockett jumping into the Senate race? Texas finally gets a candidate who isn’t afraid to speak in full sentences. Blessed be the momentum. Let it build.

Wow Scott, homework ! I like it 😅
The blue wave is coming and it’s gonna be MASSIVE!
If we’re not all in jail by then for holding “domestic terrorism view”! In Pam Bondi’s eyes.
While not a win….22%! swing left in Fl Senate District 11 that includes the GOP-hugging Villages.

The same thing was said last year & look what happened. I’ll believe it if/when it ever happens.

Bondi has put it into official territory. Read Charlie Sykes and others, it’s real!

So it’s Bondi against pretty much all of us! Not backing down in MAGA-ville,FL.

Good on them!

As far as don-old and his staff infection, it appears the walls are getting cracks. We must keep up the pressure and expose them for EACH and EVERY thing that is happening. Onward!
Look at Bondi’s list of domestic terrorism” qualifications.
I think the Domestic Terrorists are on the government payroll as ICE and Border Patrol agents!! And of course all the J6 insurrectionists that Trump pardoned earlier this year qualify!
I am happy to say that there are rumors of asking BONDI about some of her recent decisions! Stay tuned!!! :-)
Staff infection! I love it!!
Absolutely essential. I just posted a piece I just read on on the Overton Window & I think that is what is happening. We CAN'T flinch now!
Let’s go! This post has me fired up!
Me too!!!
Ditto!
Me TOO!! :-)
I think Crockett running for Senate is great except there’s such an excessive talent, and I wish they weren’t both running for the same office.
I totally agree. We need her & Talicaro. How can we keep both?
He’s very young, there’s plenty of time for someone with his talent. She has the talent plus experience, they both have bright futures.
Can he run for the House instead?
Crockett is the future! We need more diverse BIPOC women in power. I wrote a ballad for her, inspired by her bravery: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/the-ballad-of-jasmine-crockett-4a5
I like them both, too, But Jasmine is more experienced and she has savvy as to who and what she is dealing with. And we know she will tell us about it!! :-)
Yes, it's a hard decision. Talarico can possibly pull in the hard right Christian vote, and Jasmine is a force for good with a mouth on her, in a good way.

I ❤️ Jasmine Crockett!
Me too!😥😥
I love that Jasmine Crockett is running for senate. She would surely stir things up there but at think this could be a tough race for her. I wish her well.
Donating to Crockett!!
She’ll win the Senate race and in two years she’ll announce her run for President.
The man is an utter freaking disgrace to freedom and democracy…. Pathetic.
I’m definitely hoping for a blue wave but after losing to Trump in 2024 I can’t predict. I like Crockett, Talarico and Colin Allred so I will just leave it up to the voters in TX and of course I hope trumpy isn’t able to steal the election
Jasmine Crockett can be my President. I hope I live to see that day.💜
Delighted that Crockett is running for the Senate. She's a clear voice of reason in this crazy timeline. Dems are on a roll and your posts are my go-to for current info. Thanks for all you do.
Whoweee Zoweee!!! Some great margins with wins in Miami and in Georgia yesterday... Those numbers are encouraging, let's hold on to the momentum and keep building for more towards the midterms... Keep on keepin' on!!!
We need to get more people registered and voting or this won’t work no matter what the percentages are!
So what are you doing to help with that Pam?
Well to start with, I’ve donated to many groups who are supporting the registration, including donuts and democracy which is very effective in reaching young people. So that’s a way to multiply my effect, giving to people who are doing a great job.

big Dem flips are exciting!!!!
LOVE Doctors for Democracy! Just joining now!
Love Jasmine Crockett for the Senate. Hope she can win!!!
I love it that the Dems are kicking ass and taking names. I hope this momentum keeps up. People are tired and angry. This is a great step in uniting the Hispanics - all nationalities, especially Cubans, against the Trump policies.
Jasmin Crockett would make a excellent Senator! She's not afraid to speak up and tell truth to power. With the gerrymandering in her state it would have been an uphill battle for her to win back her Congressional seat. She needed to expand anyway. I'm looking forward to her taking Ted Cruz out!
