Vote in November. Even if Trump and Pulte declare fraud, our voices need to be heard. What other option is left to fight the lies and corruption of our government?
Exactly, Ellen. We need to vote in numbers Too Big To Rig. A 50 percent turnout (our max for midterm elections) ain’t gonna cut it this time. We need to emulate the Hungarians, who toppled their dictator with 79 percent. We can do this! 💙
There are plenty of other options in addition to voting, and you don't have to wait till November (or local primaries) to make use of them. Start by making it easier for other people to vote, e.g., by supporting local groups who provide rides to the polls (for those who vote in person). Find out where the polling places are in your area. If they're hard to reach for people without cars (can't be reached by public transportation, if there is any), call that out -- it's often a technique in Republican-run states to suppress the urban vote, which tends to be Democratic. Contact local organizations (like the League of Women Voters if there's a local chapter) to see how you can help out. Etc.
I love that solar continues to expand! We installed solar panels about 5 years ago, and note they are popping up everywhere. Despite Trump's disdain for alternative energy, we quietly march forward.
Same here! I'm in a blue area of mostly blue Massachusetts, but I love seeing all the solar panels in the neighborhood I moved into last fall. I'm impressed by the stats Olivia provided.
The Texas ruling has me heartsick and furious. And Venezuela . . I can’t even imagine. Thanks for staying on top of this, my dear. I look forward to your posts.
Ezekiel 23 springs to mind... There are so many unsuitable passages in the Bible - unsuitable for devout Jews and Christians, let alone those of other faiths!
One of the week's most disturbing items is the Administration employing the 'scare' tactic authoritarians use. This one by the president claiming Communism infecting this country and its so-called, 'consequences'. Free housing, squallers, etc. Just disgusting tactic. Aside from the outright TPS racism. Thank you for my Saturday morning! Mexico looks good but wary of the group's competition
Thank you Olivia for keeping us informed on all fronts. I truly HATE what is going on in our country this year but I believe that WE the PEOPLE of the USA can change all that by voting in November. If you aren't registered please do it soon and then when November comes you will be ready to vote like our lives depend on it and I'm sure it truly does.
Yay Solar! Did you see the interview with Tara Palmieri and a Republican congress woman who needed an abortion - in FL there is a 6 week hard NO to abortions. She was calling her government officials in the middle of the night to try to get her abortion even though he is "pro" life. Sic. I think you can still see the interview on Tara's Red Letter sub stack., not sure though.
Boy, oh boy do we need SCOTUS reform big time! The illegal 6 are destroying our country as much if not more than tRUMP himself. Term limits ASAP, (although we don't want any changed in this moment when donnie dumb, dumb could put in even worse people! More judges at least 13 to match the districts, OVERSIGHT with enforcement!

Thank you for your weekly insights, Olivia. You are a breath of fresh air and you don’t hesitate to take on difficult topics. Keep up this great work!

“Selected” passages from the bible translates to what aligns with their politics and their agenda. Now that’s indoctrination!

Especially when he declared Communists are Godless. What is Trump’s faith 🤔
He has none. He placates his wretched hypocritical Evangelical fraud base, that donates money including that whacko woman religious advisor.
Cheat, grift, racism, steal, multiple marriages, convictions - not the basic tenants of religious behavior. Disgusting
Could not agree more. Vile and despicable.
:)
No! He called Democrats "godless communists".
Well done! Thank you for another wonderful article!

I have way, way, WAY too many T-shirts, but now I want one that says ESTAMOS CONTIGO on it. Doesn't have to specify who "tú" is. ;-)
