So proud to live in Colorado (and a former resident of Denver). Let's go!

Need a pick-me-up? Definitely give this uplifting article a read... thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/week-progr...

When are the Democrats going to step up and stop this?

Time to hit the Muskrat where it hurts… “Dampening the positive sentiment around Tesla as a brand can have a huge impact on Tesla the stock.” www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/tesla-is-m...

YES!!! I'm so happy to see some backbone here.

Whoa!!! People are pushing back! www.npr.org/2025/02/25/n...

The tide seems to be turning… “Voters seem to be waking up all across the country, even in red states.” open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

🤦‍♀️🥚😖

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” — Nelson Mandela

Block the SAVE Act! "Fully 34 percent of American women don’t have government-issued ID with their current legal name on it, according to the Brennan Center, along with 25 percent of vote-eligible Blacks and 18 percent of Social Security-voting senior citizens." hartmannreport.com/p/the-gop-ta...

Please take a few minutes to watch this video to the end. He's not as strong as he wants us to think he is. "Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see." www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...

The time for action is NOW. "It’s true that Trump is extremely powerful right now, chiefly because members of his party in Congress fear him. But his opponents also have enormous advantages, too." www.thebulwark.com/p/five-thing...

Upset about the invasion of your privacy at the Treasury Dept? Here's a handy email template to make a civil liberties complaint... www.bookersquared.com/p/time-for-c...

Here is some perspective... "Trump is dangerous. I am not dismissing the threat. It is very real, but he is not the political colossus he claims to be. Democrats can find comfort and develop courage by taking a realistic view of his many, many weaknesses." open.substack.com/pub/messageb...

They've summoned a sleeping giant. It's so great to see people fired up to fight for their jobs and for our country. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Looks like they've figured out a way to avoid Habeas Corpus. This is wrong on so many levels.

Our voices are having an effect. Keep it up!

Well worth a watch… Please repost and share

"It is time for the institutions fighting for democracy to drop the niceties and begin calling Trump for what he is: a dictator." open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

Some much needed wins from this first, very difficult week… open.substack.com/pub/thinkbig...

Excellent advice...

LOOKING BACK: This all began with Reagan's repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. News stopped bring a regulated public service....

Let's remember how we got here... "Don’t blame Garland. Blame Mitch McConnell and the Supreme Court." substack.com/home/post/p-...

"Oligarchy, after all, is usually a transitional form of government because people get so angry about the government doing everything for the rich and powerful and little to nothing for them that they demand change." hartmannreport.com/p/the-planta...

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." — Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King

If you’re upset about Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, wait until I tell you about the time Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the election he lost, plotted a coup & incited an insurrection before deciding not to attend Joe Biden’s.

This is what we're up against... "If Democrats want to slow this speeding train heading toward single-party rule of America, they must get with the program and begin to support existing and build out new and powerful policy think tanks and media operations." open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

So true... we could certainly use his strength now. ☮️

As appealing as it would be for the Orange Menace to have his meeting with the Grim Reaper sooner rather than later, it looks like JDV could be worse... open.substack.com/pub/thinkbig...

Why do they do what they do? This article explains it all... "At the end of the day, all Republican politicians care about is money. Greed is their principle animating force, and what binds them to their morbidly rich donors." hartmannreport.com/p/why-do-rep...
