We’re eight days away from #NoKings Day, and over 2,500 protests planned in all 50 states and across the world.

October 18 is going to be the biggest day of nonviolent protest in US history — because Courage is contagious.

If you would have described the traits of hard core MAGAs and Trump ten years ago…. Those very same people would have called those people SNOWFLAKES.

Constantly whining, always the victim, always angry at everyone else.

I’d like to know too. Has all this insane bullshit made anyone’s life better?

Answer: NO - HELL NO.

i want to check in with trump voters. i have one very genuine question: it's been 250 days. now that immigrants have been violently torn from their families and communities have been destroyed, now that trans people have been blamed for virtually everything and live in fear, now that free speech is on the brink of collapse for us all - has your life gotten better? have your groceries gotten cheaper? has your health insurance premium gone down? has your work/life balance improved? can you take a vacation yet? are you happier? has the widespread suffering of others paid off for you in the way he promised it would, or are you still waiting?

4) I'll repost their response.
Meanwhile, I will post from varied sources. I have not yet decided if I will entirely eliminate reposting from Substack as people whom I know, and trust use it. The 2 of you who complained are welcome to follow me or not. I hope my followers will continue to persevere!

3) Fascism is a bully that must be met head on by those who are brave enough to do so.

Will you be eliminating extremist right-wing content in the near future?

Thank you for your consideration in this important matter.

I understand your editor's recent comments about the difficulty of curtailing any part of the political spectrum in the interest of free speech. In normal political times, I might even agree with you. However, these are anything but normal times.

2) After researching this issue thoroughly, I am writing to inform you that I will be greatly curtailing my subscriptions and my reposting of Substack content until this issue is resolved. This saddens me as there are many authors whose content I enjoy and from which I have benefitted...
