I am 73 years old and tomorrow will be my first protest (and I was on a college campus during the Vietnam War!).

Linda McCaughey's avatar

Never too late, sister!

John Bergman's avatar

I’m with you.

Last time, though, (Kent State) I spent a month in jail. Catholic school was good practice. Just sayin’ in case they start arresting seniors who see through THIS hypocritical mirage they call government. Google: Yuri Schvets

I was just talking to a friend on the train this morning and she asked me where you were and I said probably making a movie – – anyway good to hear your voice. See you in the streets.

I know I am on the correct track if Michael Moore is there too! Thank you for all your work to keep America free and sane. The best thing about being a little old white lady is that I can march to support my black, brown and indigenous neighbors who are at risk. Let's get out there tomorrow and show the world what America looks like. Love wins!

Welcome back, Michael! We have missed you! I'm sure you're doing what you need to do -- but every day I hope to hear from you online. God bless us all!

Michael Moore has been to my Substack. He knows or should know I have easily verifiable proof the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties have been conspiring together to pack the courts with corrupt judges--conspiring together to commit treason. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, he refuses to tell his followers about what is unquestionably the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the United States. Protesting is meaningless if you ignore documented proof of treason.

Craig Barron's avatar

Protesting is not meaningless. If you have the proof, take it to the media. Otherwise it's just empty allegations.

The Illusion of Justice's avatar

I have taken it to the media. They are all bribe taking criminals like the politicians.

If you want to see proof that both major political parties are lying about their fidelity to the Constitution of the United States, go to my Substack and read the two page introduction letter. Only a co-conspirator would ignore this corruption.

...and pray, of course. Maybe God is listening. I’ve been on hold since 1970, but hey, she (they?) could pick up - someday.

No kings.

No Untergropenfuhrer.

No Nether Pig.

No Trumpolini.

No Nazis.

Ooh, the day isn’t over yet, but I learned a new word:

RINONazi.

These people in power aren’t Republicans. Eisenhower was a Republican, just for reference.

I remember Eisenhower.

Trump is no Eisenhower.

John Bergman's avatar

Reagan (even!) would not recognize today’s GOP.

John Bergman's avatar

I would add No Queens, but you saw Trumpstein sprung George Santos. I suggest it was to get public focus offa Adelita Grijalva (THE files). No?

Google: Yuri Schvets. I’m gonna keep saying it.

THREE POINTS: 1. May I suggest that everyone takes the spotlight off Trump and, not forget him, but put him in the background. When media blows up even a bad thing, it becomes familiar and comfortable. The media is still trying to convince us he is bad. Seriously? Media thinks we do not know this!!!??? 2. In conjunction with #1, change the message. Focus on what progressives offer. Part of this is for Democrats to STOP STOP STOP running away from Democratic Socialism. The Dems running away and not educating all Americans, regardless of party, what DS is allowed the Republicans and MAGA to define it their way which was wrong. If Dems had embraced what ALREADY EXISTS in our society that is Democratic Socialism, they would have defined it and revealed, spotlighted the fact that Americans love these programs already. THEY SIMPLY DO NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE PROGRAMS ARE DEM SOC. 3. CHANGE YOUR SIGNS to EDUCATE: Free Libraries: Democratic Socialism. FIRE DEPARTMENT: Democratic Socialism. ROADS HIGHWAYS BRIDGES: Democratic Socialism. ALSO: Democratic Socialists FIGHT FOR FREE UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE. Democratic Socialists FIGHT FOR MINIMUM WAGE that ALLOWS PEOPLE TO HAVE ONE JOB. DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS FIGHT for Free College (NO STUDENT LOANS)! We can't just tell people what to reject. We need to show them what to fight for. Positive reinforcement is far more powerful and longer lasting than negative reinforcement. Americans . . . . it is in our hands now.

There's an old expression, "Between the Republican and the Republican, the Republican will always win." Simply put, when Democrats tack to the right, their base isn't motivated and Republicans will vote for the person with the R by their names regardless. I scoff when people call Bernie and AOC radical because they're basically around where Roosevelt was. That's how far to the right we've gone.

John Bergman's avatar

You must not be a billionaire. Heil Trump!

Gunnar Jensen's avatar

Totally agree! I’m trying to focus more on what we want (back) from our gov’t. Doing so reminds me what’s important, and what we had (not perfect, of course, but on a much preferable course …)! C-ya in OUR streets, mañana!

I think you got something there with that democratic socialism thing.

Either way, beats the hell outta Donmunism.

I'm 80 and hope to be able to participate in tomorrow's event. I never have done this before but this is so important that I can't miss it.

Thank you Mike for letting me find the location close to Flint, Michigan. Another michigander 😊 ❤️

Linda McCaughey's avatar

Don't let that 80 stop you! Get out there and make a stand. I'm off to Ironwood this morning--lots going on everywhere in Michigan!! So proud!!!!

Hello!

I am a singer/songwriter from Kansas City. I wrote a song that you may use at the No King's Rally next Saturday. If you'd rather have someone perform it live, I sent you the lyrics and chords to the song as well. Please let me know what you think!

Thanks so much!
