That's right! Never give up and never give in the those anti-democratic loonies!

Right on! We absolutely need strong people to stand up and fight the insanity. Please see what Roseann Cash, daughter of Johnny wrote:

“If there are any Trump supporters who still follow me, I would ask that you unfollow me and do it now. I don’t want anyone who supports this malignant, racist, corrupt man and his sycophants to lurk in my feed. I’m so sick of being sickened by them and if you can twist your humanity into a knot to defend them, I don’t want to find ‘common ground’. There is none."

Gotta love it! Amen.

Thank-you for posting what Roseann Cash wrote.

It is a breath of fresh air.

The focus should always be humanity.

And there is no way that the gops on the supreme court, the gops in congress, or the gops in the executive branch conduct the business of our government by following the US Constitution.

Instead, they follow their inhumanity, their need for more power, and their greed. The maga crowd clings to a greatly flawed identity be it the misuse of religion to justify their actions; their degradation, humiliation and lack of care for the vulnerable; or their violence against “others”, be it here in the US or abroad.

maga wants to “belong”. It matters not that belonging results in inhumanity.

They are not the majority of Americans.

Olivia Troye is part of that breath of fresh air as well.

I've been replying directly to these E-mails, because I'm living in Germany and ActBlue isn't allowed to take my money: HOW can I contribute, other than on ActBlue? I'm totally behind you!

I could afford to donate to this campaign. However, I carefully read Ms. Troye’s post and noticed that not once did she write the words “Democrat” or “Democratic candidate”. This has also happened in previous posts. People have assured me that she is running as a Democrat. However, and with all due respect, I will donate nothing to this campaign until Ms. Troye makes a definitive statement to that effect. After all, it is possible to be “MAGA’s Top Enemy”, and to still be a Republican. We need the pick up every Democratic seat humanly possible.

I'm not sure either if she's running as a Dem, but I also want to know how she will vote on things - she is traditionally a Republican, and we don't need another Joe Manchin.

Our democracy has become an oligarchy, a government in which a small group exercises control, especially for corrupt and selfish purposes.  Here’s a significant way to impact this fall’s elections.  Now is the time to initiate a grassroots campaign to pursue the following. Several Democrats and progressive organizations have compiled separate tax reform proposals. I envision having these proposals consolidated into one bill that will benefit the vast majority of Americans. Having a consolidated bill, "True Tax Reform 2026: The Sequel," introduced to Congress well before this fall's elections will very well influence who individuals vote for based on a candidate's view on this bill. Please share this with your Democratic congressional representatives and others. 

This is a list of proposals that can be consolidated into one bill:

Keep Your Pay Act: Cory Booker

Equal Tax Act: Senators Edward Markey, Bernie Sanders, Cory Booker, and Jeff Merkley

Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act: Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Rashida Tlaib

Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act: Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Ro Khanna

Tax on Extreme Wealth and For the 99.8% Act: Senator Bernie Sanders

Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act: Senator Chris Van Hollen and Representative Don Beyer

The Ultra-Millionaires Tax: Senator Elizabeth Warren, Representatives Brendan F. Boyle and Pramila Jayapal

Defund the Oligarchs Resolution: Senator Elizabeth Warren

American Homeownership Act: Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Jeff Merkley

21st Century ROAD to Housing Act: Senators Elizabeth Warren and Tim Scott

Billionaires Income Tax Act: Senator Ron Wyden and Representatives Donald Beyer and Steve Cohen

The Money Agenda 250: Patriotic Millionaires

The Five & Dime Tax: Tax the Greedy Billionaires

Executive Summary: Excessive Wealth Disorder Institute

Court of International Trade Tariff Refunds: Senators Ron Wyden, Edward J. Markey, and Jeanne Shaheen

The Bipartisan Tax Fairness and Simplification Act of 2011: Senators Ron Wyden and Dan Coates

* Review provisions in H.R. 1 and executive orders- void and add provisions as needed.

I said I was finished donating. And rhen you announced. And I donated. Then Trump attacked Rep Omar. And I donated to her. I am motivated by outrage. And hope.
