Thank you Michael. This one made me cry. Power to the People. Just watching the video of Michigan Governor Whitmer re gun control. You are so incredible at what you do and your encouragement to the people to seize their power and act on it - to not give up.

Michael was virtually a lone voice correctly predicting the 2022 Elections would be a Blue Wave and not a Red One. It's seemed to me for years that the GOP has been on the path to extinction, as they represent the views of only a small minority of Americans.

I don't know whether this Rumble will make you want to move to MIchigan instead of Canada, but it's a good counterbalance to the crap we're fed by corporately owned news agencies.

Stick a fork in their beyond dead asses!!! BUT- The shit bags want everyone else who isn't them to bare their GD crosses!!! I for one refuse!!! We are going to destroy them at the polls in 2024. BUT, in the interim, be careful out there folks!! There will be many a MAGA moron, alt righter, angry right winger so called Christians and the like looking to get even....looking for your happy ass!!!

I was made to "White" wash my she shed that had many politically charged emblems and sentiments on it. I was inspired the day ROE was overturned. Needless to say, the town of Standish, ME., a very conservative and MAGA populated place, ( WHY do I live here you ask? Long f'd up story-no time) did not appreciate my artistic display. Lot's of trash thrown in the yard and slurs yelled out their loud AF bubba trucks over the past year. My landlady ( friend of 24 yrs ) has been shall we say, influenced, possibly a MAGA sympathizer ( it would explain her red ball cap and American Flag Tees she's been sporting the last 2 years ) ordered me to paint over it all. I wish I could attach a pic of it here, I'm pretty sure I sent Michael a pic of it. It was epic!! I'll change my cover pic on fb, check it out... Vic Symonds- The ONLY one.

I'm serious folks, be careful. They might be DOA but they will not be going down easy. It's us little people that are gonna pay the price for their vengeance. Stay alert, Stay vigilant. If you think you're in a bad situation, Document the shit out out of it and TAKE THEM DOWN!!! DO NOT give those fkrs an inch!!! Stay strong, Speak true , Choose Only Love- Melissa Etheridge

The three most important words of your podcast: "Don't give up."

Hearing a blk repug saying that the people selected their representatives to depress women, depress the vote, deprive immigrants of their humanity is an example of their ignorance of reality. And he wants to be president, ha! This was a moving commentary Michael of the true reality, thank you again and again.

Great podcast as usual. You continue to inspire us to keep up the good fight. Let the Republicans keep imploding themselves.

I have been a fan of Joan Baez since the 60s and have been to 2 of her concerts. Will be definitely ordering her book. That was so kind of you to sing to her.✌️ 💙 ✌️. Be well ☮️

What a beautiful song, Last Leaf! Thank you and Joan for sharing it. Another inspiring podcast to keep me going as I write postcards for the 2024 Activate America congressional elections here in CA. Getting an early start for next year.

Thank you, Michael for a great post. I hope your analysis of the GOP being in their swan song, happens as you have predicted. Cheers to Governor Whitmer, a lady whose heart is truly with America. And kudos to the Michigan State Legislature for having the courage to pass sensible gun control. Most of us, even those of us, who, like me, don't like guns, have no objection to sports persons owning and having sporting weapons. As a biologist I even encourage the hunting of deer and other wild animals, to help those animals with population control. We were stupid in the past to have destroyed all, or nearly all, their natural predators, the only control the poor things have is for good hunters to selectively kill some of them. Most of us don't object to skeet, competitive target shooting, and like sports. We object to the wanton killing of innocents, And don't tell me that guns don't kill people. Yes they do. How many school children could a madman kill with a knife, or a bow and arrow? While as I recently wrote, I would have to agree with the Supreme Court that the original finding on Roe v Wade was Unconstitutional per amendment 10, I also adamantly believe that no governing power at any level has the right to tell anyone, regardless of gender, what they may or may not do with their own body. The government has the right to protect society as an abstract, and to legislate against criminal or felonious behavior, or behavior that may endanger other living beings, but our bodies are the only possession that truly belong to us and no one has the right to legislate how we may or may not use it, whom we may or may not love (except to prevent some of us using force to rape or harm someone else's body). Especially children and others who are vulnerable. Finally thank you for presenting Joan Baez, always a treat to hear.

There is a lot of blame on the Democrats; they haven’t protected our vote‼️ In Florida they tricked and then charged past incarcerated people by telling them they could vote. That intimidation, and manipulation does not go away.
