Brilliant! I just donated to this Senator Chris Van Hollen (MD) campaign and tomorrow calling his office to thank him! This is the brand of stand our action we need from the Democratic Party. See all of you on 4/19 -- we need to hit 3.5% and get this job done by Christmas! I just recruited someone from the office!

Told him I was going to the protest and then because he was open to having a discussion, I offered it is statistically valid peaceful protests are the most effect method of overturning an autocrat; and it is also true the people bring just the right amount of pressure to overthrow if 3.5% of the overall population are present and out there protesting united.

He immediately looked at his phone and asked me how he could find a protest near him. I told him to go to the INDIVISIBLE web site or just google your city or state and "4/19 protest" -- then I said when you attend bring 2 people with you -- we need to hit that 3.5% and the only way to do it is to show up and recruit at least 2 others -- I told him that on 4/5 five million people across the nation showed and it was noticed around the world; but that represented only 1.5% so we need to expand by 2% very quickly -- hopefully by 4/19.

I agree. As I remember from my childhood, a fact-finding trip by a government official to a destination of uncertain safety could result in a disastrous outcome. I do hope that Senator Van Hollen will travel with federal security personnel.

I wouldn't put it pass this 'regime' to have them assassinated if more made the journey. It's apparent that they are very cruel and callous. IJS Another Jonestown in the making.

I feel afraid for him. I’m glad he’s going, because America needs answers. And the innocent man needs to come home. I’m just afraid for the senator. Probably because of Jim Jones massacre, but can you blame really blame me? We’re dealing with a bunch of gangsters in our gov’t! I’d be stupid not to consider that he may show up to find a bone saw.

Their president works for Trump… and us. Our money pays to keep people in a torture prison. Anyway, they aren’t letting the guy out because he’s not alive or simply because Trump told them to say “no he’s a criminal in our country.”

Trump is going to kill us all. There is no way we can live under this kind of regime. They will take the educated,the sick, the disabled and the old, first. Once those are processed they’ll begin to cull the remaining herd.

Someone please find me a logical explanation for why he won’t actually kill us or make us slaves, ASAP.

It’s almost like he’s brainwashing us! We keep thinking, “oh this will start to get better!” And it is not getting better. It’s worse than I could have even imagined and we’re skiing down hill fast AF! It ends very ugly. But please, tell me some legitimate reason that I’m wrong.

The administration has been losing in court. People are protesting. People are calling their reps. Harvard stood up to him. I think some law firms are standing up to him. It’s these actions that embolden others to resist his tyranny. All hope is not lost. It’s terrifying to be sure but it’s not over. Not yet.

I understand your fear and it is valid. I want to encourage you by saying that you are brave for sharing your inner most feelings, that I believe a lot of us can resonate with. I would like to offer some solace in saying that I belong to a few grassroots groups that are growing exponentially fast. One of those groups is veteran lead. I would implore you to please consider joining the movement as they provide a lot of knowledge and security within that knowledge. They are professionals and extremely versed as well as prepared. The link to access this movement is moneyoutofpolitics.org or if you are on TikTok please look up Quiet Mayhem and send him a message. Even listening in on some of the lives he does and speaking about things that are relevant, like martial law and the insurrection act. The movement itself is non partisan, but the people know the truth about what is happening and that is what matters.

Also, please remember to do self care. We can only help others when we are strong ourselves.

We the people will rise above this! We are many and they are few, I don’t care how many times they say they are more. The cult is Christian Nationalism and Trump is the president they wanted most. He has agreed to their terms, which is what we have seen happening and why it is so crazy. Remember we are many and they are few. The vote that took the presidency was 77 million. That is 23% of the population and 29% of the voting population. They are loosing people every day. I know this because I hear it every day. I listen and learn.

I wish you peace.

I hope he is ok and alive. My prayers to his wife, child, and family.

These motherfuckers abducted him and stuffed him on a plane and left the country. They must all be held accountable for this heinous crime. If God forbid 🙏🏼, he’s not with us anymore, there better be arrests of Rubio and all the way up to Donald fucking Trump. Republicans are guilty as well because they haven’t said a fucking word.
