Young women in red states live under a massive cloud of uncertainty that just needs to be lifted away. Keeping up the faith that we landslide the orange Fuhrer to insignificance and hopefully finally that he get the deserved jail time.
I can vote (and talk to everyone I know who might need a ride), but after that, I can cross my fingers and hope that women (and the men who aren't intimidated by them) give Rump the final kick to the courts where true justice can be served.
Swear to Gawd? You say that in 23 days "they will have their bigoted, hateful asses handed to them on a golden platter." I hope you have prognosticatory powers. Though maybe that's just a look at what should happen.
Yes! Take that tape off our mouths and get LOUD and CLEAR!!!
All women and men who believe that we can do better than this world of brutality, violence and the domination of one group over another which I believe STARTS with men over women. Thank you Stevie and Michael!
I wept when she sang. First, just to see her and hear her singing in SNL was magic. Then THE SONG. Like you said, one verse after the next. Brutal. Truth. Amazing. I was so thrilled
Here is the crazy part--after Roe v. Wade was overturned, I was convinced that these hateful Republicans had played their last card--really F'd up by overplaying their hand. I told my Republican family members that women would be in the streets with pitchforks, blocking traffic, demanding their rights back... and to my amazement and disappointment that didn't happen. Then I thought for sure, my daughter is in college and the young ladies there would be protesting, shutting down the school, but no, nothing. Not even the purple hair girls with nose rings... So imagine my surprise when the only thing that motivated my daughter's college friends to take to the streets and block traffic was to protest a war started by terrorists 6000 miles away--that made them block traffic--they were motivated to "protest" for Palestinian rights over Israelis, but not their own bodily rights. Honestly, confused. Is anti Israel hatred more motivating than one's own right not to be forced to carry a pregnancy to term by a bunch of men. Help me understand Michael, since you seem to hate Israel defending itself and R's taking abortion rights away in equal measure... I seriously don't get this.
I wonder if it was males who initiated the anti-war protests and the females joined them. Males have much less to fear in our society and testosterone makes them more aggressive. Too bad they don’t start protests on our behalf.
Thanks for this post! The huge, dark medieval implications of it landed differently with me (this time). I hope you're right that humanity in us can climb out of this hole, shake off the dumbed down state, and move forward. Unfortunately, I can't view the SNL links as it diverts me to a different page. The last music video of Stevie Nicks song worked.
After all these years of despair 😞, for once I have moved to such excitement and driving momentum. Victory ✌️ is within our grasp. Let us not take eye off the ball, we still have game left, nothing is in the bag until every last possible vote is counted. Do not listen to the polls or talking heads. WE THE PEOPLE have the POWER, do not let anyone stand in your way, we can push on and on as our lives do depend on all of our efforts. I spend the weekend with Stephanie Miller and the Sexy Liberals in KC. Never before have I been in a place of such overwhelming optimism and DRIVE. Glen Kischser reported this orange monster will soon be incarcerated to deter future criminals from stopping the peaceful transfer of power ever again. Our future has a shining light of justice for all. JUSTICE IS COMING! Make it happen with pride. Thank you Stevie Nicks, Michael Moore. Taylor Swift, Obamas, Clintons , THE BOSS, on Stage in a Final PUSH, hosted by Howard Stern and Michael Moore and Bernie Sanders, and Thom Hartman.
We need some Military Retired Generals too to show the World 🌎 WE THE PEOPLE are in CHARGE!
Hello. I live in Arizona. There are many organizations that are working hard to help Arizona and other swing states get Harris elected. Please help, no matter where in the world you live.
If you would like to work with a non-profit or other groups that want to elect Harris and are not funded by the Democratic Party, I created the list below and sent it out to friends and family all over the country. I hope this list is helpful to you as well.
I welcome you to copy and share this list with others.
I am going to post this list each time Michael sends out one of his missives, adding to the list whenever I learn of more options to share.
Please make me and everyone else aware of any other groups/organizations that have campaigns or mobilization efforts going to prevent Trump from getting elected by posting the information as a comment to my post. Thank you.
Experts who study these things have seen that such simple actions as personal postcards, phone calls, or texts to specifically identified voters can and do make a difference. The organizations below are either the experts or are groups that partner with the experts. Some of these organizations promote who to vote for, while others just encourage infrequent voters to vote, knowing that the people they contact typically vote Democratic. All of these groups can benefit from your time and/or your donations (some of which can be tax-deductible).
The ENVIRONMENTAL VOTER PROJECT identifies millions of non-voting environmentalists and turns them into consistent voters. I have done postcards and phonebanks with them.
THIRD ACT and ELDERS CLIMATE ACTION primarily recruit Seniors as volunteers, but all are welcome. Their campaigns include helping young people get registered to vote.
SEED THE VOTE teams up with organizations like PEOPLE’S ACTION and SHOWING UP FOR RACIAL JUSTICE (SURJ) with Phonebanking campaigns of volunteers calling voters in Swing States.
THE CIVICS CENTER organizes high school voter registration. A huge event they do is High School Voter Registration Week, which will be Sept. 23-27, 2024. They can use volunteer help with that and other events.
THE ARIZONA DREAM ACT COALITION provides assistance to DREAMERS. They also contact legal Latino voters and mixed-status families to help those who can legally vote to register to vote and then encourage them to vote.
As Michael has shared, VOTE.ORG will give everyone all the info they need to register and vote — and to double check their registration: https://www.vote.org/
VOTE 411 is similar to VOTE.ORG and a good resource about registering to vote anywhere in the USA.
LEAD LOCALLY does their best to provide a list of the various organizations and events around the country working in favor of the issues you and I care about.
LOVE THIS. I am in N.C. and am canvassing for HW. Would love to see folks in solid blue states take this on!
I wrote postcards from N.C. to support Stacey Abrams in her last gubernatorial bid. Doesn’t matter where you are: you can help swing a swing state! Great work, Roy!
The Harris/Walz campaign needs to license this song and start cutting ads with it. Like, YESTERDAY.
Get Nick's permission of course. Great song. very appropriate.
Thank you Stevie! How fantastic! And thank you Michael! ❤️❤️
Eerie.
Sobering to imagine my beautiful daughter -- who resides in Austin, Texas -- has less rights than me and my mother before me.
Everything instrumental, important and groundbreaking women have done to ensure our reproductive freedom and health is literally on the ballot.
These angry, old and out-of-touch men trying to dictate what women do with their bodies -- ENOUGH!
Thank you again Michael Moore for being so many people's spokesperson and voice of reason in pointing out the injustice and sheer idiocy of it.
I appreciate you.
Yes. Thanks to republicans and liberals she has less rights. Liberals destroyed another civil right Title IX.

Thank you Michael we need the pep talk. We have to do everything we can to get the vote out.

Yes! I saw/heard that SNL performance! Stevie really nailed it! Thanks for posting the lyrics and video @michaelmoore.
I felt that POWER!

Love this so so so so

Noting like a good protest song.
