+Gaza!! Which threatens the middle east and includes carte blanche genocide. Those poor people. Jordan agreed to take a certain number of children. But not what the rest of those who will be displaced for Trump's Riviera. That of course leads to separation of child and parent; talk about nurturing terrorism. And Israel wants the entire nation wiped off the Earth as well. It is disgusting and equivalent to Hitler's agenda for people who got in his way. It cannot happen. It must be stopped.

250 years ago in 1775 to be exact the Revolutionary War started because nobody in the colonies wanted to live under the rule of a King. SO HERE WE ARE!!! Before we have Revolutionary War II we need to try this:

1. Protest ---------------- https://bsky.app/profile/50501movement.bsky.social - --------------------------- https://events.pol-rev.com/

2. Boycott --------------- https://www.goodsuniteus.com/ also companies that CEO's & Exec. Officers who attended Inauguration: Tesla, X/Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Amazon/Amazon Prime, Whole Foods ,Zappos, Apple Computer/Apple TV, TikTok, Google, Fitbit and Nest

3. Call/E-mail/Message -------------- all Senators & Congressman tell them how you feel about these important issues.

4. Donate ---------------- If you can afford it donate to the organizations that are doing the legal fights. https://democracyforward.org/ - https://www.citizen.org/ - https://www.citizensforethics.org/ - https://www.aclu.org/ These groups are suing the Trump administration virtually every day. Credit to Jan.

5. Join -------------------- https://www.country1st.com/ - https://indivisible.org/ - https://www.commoncause.org/ - For Veterans, https://www.taskforcebutler.org and https://commondefense.us/

6. I hope we never have to get to this option because it's the worst option of all, which I won't mention here. "Freedom Isn't Free" Vietnam Veteran

Thank you. I copied and pasted your post onto an email addressed to myself. I have a meeting tonight my first with the local democratic activists, and a protest on Monday night at Plymouth Rock! I found my local group by attending a meeting hosted by Common Cause. They in turn sent me loads of information of what is happening in my local area and how to contact my local democratic group. Just sharing my experience for what it is worth.

It's worth a lot! I'll add https://www.commoncause.org/ to the join list.

He gave away the store and never talked to the store owner.

Zelensky said today - we are an independent country and we will be involved in ALL negotiations.

The best move though bold but certainly the nation of Ukraine has earned it -- is bring Ukraine into NATO as a member post haste. Putin is very scared of NATO; and Trump is scared of his own shadow. It is the only move. We should be pushing Congress to support it.

I vote to disband NATO, Trump wants to withdraw anyway, he can go join BRICS, and Ukraine can join a new alliance. Europe needs to grow a backbone again, it could dominate the world once more - using it's powers only for good or for awesome.

I'm a proud member of Adam's substack. Thank you Adam for recognizing trumps part in allowing the talaban out of prison, which jump started the chaos in Afghanistan. Also, as Trump tries to take responsibility for ending the war in Ukraine, let's remember Lev Parnas, who has the receipts proving that Trump tried to get Valdimar Zelinski to come out with disinformation about Joe Biden and because he didn't agree to do so, he lost the election and therefore doesn't give a S*** about Ukraine and I know firsthand from talking to some Ukrainians that they are scared to death of Trump because they know he is not in support of them

Thanks for doing this!

My heart breaks for the Greatest Generation whose sacrificed so much for democracy

That was fun Adam. I subscribe to Meidas too, so this was a conversation between friends. I woke up and donated to United 24 to let Ukraine know I care Then I called my Senators and asked them how I could move to Ukraine because they know how to live for Democracy. Didn’t get an answer but that’s my message. It’s a Coup. What are we going to do?

Thank you Adam!

Guys:

Great job. But, I think the way to push back against these Oligarchs is to boycott every company that these people touch. Do not buy Tesla, do not buy Amazone, and do not use Paypal, do not use x, etc. We need to shout this out every day and every where. Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Love Kinzinger, long-time subscriber, always good to hear him.

Re Meiselas comment: What Hegseth did is flipflop. That's what Trump and his henchmen do. Flipflop. Say it every time it's the right word - which is several times a day recently.

Great to hear Adam say exactly what he said from day one. Save democracy then we’ll discuss policy 👌

We had day of action and are good ideas about coordination . A group called National Strike has some ideas on pushback and also many brought up voting with your wallet. Don’t buy their stuff, go one their media. I know it’s hard but we’re in a dangerous place 🙏🏻
