America is the country of its people. We the people are the only ones that can save our country. We know that there are those who will stand by FDT to the bitter end. They are the minority and really do not count. Our goal is to win over everyone that is sitting on the fence or choosing not to vote.
As Canadians it is unnerving (to say the least) to witness the unraveling of one of the world’s great democracies. This, however, was telegraphed by Trump and the Project 2025 movement. We’ve been asking - is this what Americans really want? “No Kings”give us hope that not all has been lost!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your informative, context-driven, and ultimately, hopeful letters. Thank you for sharing your expertise with all of us.
That we ended slavery and Jim Crow, have freedom of religion and speech, and accept immigrants are what I grew up being taught made the USA great. Most of my elementary teachers were probably conservative Christians. None of that was partisan. It was a shared understanding.
He.. the then King of Great-Britain. "He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers." Becomes: Has Donold obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers?
I rember having a conversation with a young teacher from Moscow. She was born around 1980 & I have a minor in Russian history. When I asked about St Basil's cathedral & if the church had been fully restored for worship, she was puzzled because the church is now a museum & has services.
The young woman had no idea that the Church was once a sacred place & that a museum would have been unthinkable. She also knew no history of the Orthodox faith or its profound influence in Moscow. Trump is out to do like Putin & erase significant history from our country.
It is, but it's also grimly funny. They know it looks bad for him. Let them make their trashy little jokes for the short time they have left in their jobs. Benighted little souls.
Try as they think they must they can’t erase the truth! All will be restored the minute Trump no longer has power. It could be tomorrow if Congress would do their job
I really loved your sign yesterday. Crimes against humanity works for me. But what he did to children tears upon my being. Harrisburg PA showed up yesterday. Rally and march.
Got to this late tonight! Thanks for writing after such a busy day yesterday. True Americans will not forget all it took to get so far. Heck, we elected President Barack Obama! I spent the day with my grandson. He and all our children and grandchildren are the reason we cannot give up this fight!
Everything up until the "But a funny thing happened..." was so depressing. I knew they had done all of it but just having it written down like that. Thank you for the uplifting ending. It doesn't fix it for now but hopefully we get through this and it will all be restored. #NoKings
About 95% of the time I "get angry", it's the same way I feel when my team loses. So unfair, a couple plays here and there... lasts maybe two days and I move on. But not when you lay hands on the History. All that the giants whose shoulders I teach from taught, not there. Real anger now.
I always knew that real historians and other chroniclers of truth would come through for us! But I did not know these specifics! Excited to learn how so many are fighting back on censorship!
This reminded me of the verse from Jackson Brown’s song The Loadout “People you’ve got the power over what we do. You can sit there and wait or you can pull us through” We saw that yesterday 💙
And if you haven’t heard this. Jackson Browne, Allison Browne and Steve Martin’s new release. “Dear Time”. It might make you tear up. @hcrichardson.bsky.social
For me it was his song Walls and Doors: "Ever since the world's existed There's one thing that is certain There are those who build walls And those who open doors..."
Yesterday in West Chester PA the speakers at the No Kings Protest were student leaders from our local High Schools. Attention media--this is not a gray hair or wine Mom movement.
There's MAGA idiots in office now, but I'm hoping the 🌊 will find its way here come Nov. Get career politicians out. (Current governor/🧊 Barbie simp Larry Rhoden & Mike Rounds are running for reelection & Dusty Johnson's trying for governor). 🗳them out
Thank you, Heather 💙. Deep red Martin County, FL showed up. My favorite sign (unfortunately not pictured) was a little girl who was holding a sign in the back seat of a car driving by that said, “I would make a better president…and I am 6!”.
This has been on my playlist for a very long time. I listen to it often. 🎵 😊
"All we've been given By those who came before The dream of a nation Where freedom would endure The work and prayers Of centuries Have brought us to this day What shall be our legacy? What will our children say?"
