You are unfortunately, the reality of today….. I am still standing behind you personally and financially! I am 65 years old, if that says any kind of support for you….

They are. Make no mistake. Glyphosates in our food, fast food and junk food. In Russia, there is a ban on Glyphosate and Organic food and produce is the mainstay. Not in the USA. You pay more for Organic and less to purchase food with glyphosates.

You must be kidding… this video is scare mongering… further who would want to live in a world that has had a nuclear attack. I’d rather rather die than wonder around contaminated water food contaminated vegetables, fruits. Contaminated milk and cream and butter. Basically touching and eating and subsisting in a world where humans would become subhumans… like something out of a horror film. It’s already happening. See our brothers and sisters, children and babies being exterminated like animals, being starved to death in Gaza, Palestine, South Sudan,

The current hunger crisis, the largest humanitarian crisis in UN history, Yemen, Somalia, and northeastern Nigeria. Health risks extend beyond starvation, including waterborne illness such as cholera.

There are more countries now. Just imagine how the world would be with death all around us, animals… our pets and livestock… so again why would you choose to show this bizarre message?!

I’m confused. Are you being critical of Aaron Parnas?

I was confused too, but He's commenting on the spam post.. One of those "I used to think they weren't poisoning our food, but THIS" or "I used to think I'd have brain fog forever until this..."

Me too 63. Aaron, I do sometimes have to look away for a bit and find my joy so I can keep going. I trust you to deliver the truth. THAT’S why I can look away, sing, dance, paint, and play. I know you’ll be there with what I missed when I’m ready to hear it. THANK YOU!

75… you’re gonna think you’re running a geriatric News subscription!

I too find that I can rely on your reporting. I no longer fact check everything from you.

I work hard not to be reactive to all the bad stuff anymore because that’s not sustainable, and emotion actually impedes action.

That doesn’t mean that sometimes there’s a story that hits my heart too hard, and I need to take a break, briefly.

For me, you have the opposite effect of numbing exposure.

You keep this news in front of my attention. I’m always reminded there is important stuff to do to help the people who are suffering so much because of my country.

Since I’ve always believed that my country is me, especially in our messy attempt at a Democratic Republic, then it is up to me to do something when my country is so very wrong as it is now.

In a few minutes, you put everything in perspective and in order, and I am so grateful!

I appreciate what you do so much. I don’t always comment but this post hit me right where I live. A constant state of stress. I’ve pulled back from reading every “breaking”

News alert. But I read this Substack every day. But sometimes I have to take a day off just to breathe. It seems like every day there is a new hell. I know intellectually this is done by the regime on purpose. To overwhelm and distract. I know we don’t know all the horrible cruelty they inflicting on the country, but there is only so much evil and cruelty I can read about, or hear about on the “news”. All that aside I do really appreciate the work you are doing.

Subscriber, 66, I know you’re not just reporting to the geriatric sector! But I think those of us in this age group have never in our lifetimes seen what is now going on in our country, nor did we ever think we would. I so very much appreciate your perspective and I know you are speaking the truth. I’ve never felt called to protest in my life, but now I know I can’t just sit and do nothing. You have motivated me. I don’t want to leave this country to my grandchildren the way it is now. It scares me, but it scares me more to keep quiet. Thank you Aaron for all you are doing.

Me, too, at almost 64.

I've lived 63 years and never paid as much attention as these past several months to all the wrongs in which you've been reporting. Thank you for your hard work, the honesty, and the encouragement to not become complacent, and that it's ok to take a break if needed. I'll keep sharing, protesting, and being loud when I safely can. Thank you.

Here too. 65. The cortisol level was getting to be too much. I only read what you and your dad post now. I’m trying to shift my energy to be positive and put out positive. Believe it or not, using our old slang of “far out” and “groovy” is actually making us all laugh and smile.😊 Sending you strength.

I’ve sometimes felt overwhelmed with the amount of information. But, I appreciate every work and every piece of information you sent our way. This new political movement speaks to me personally. As an undocumented person, as a professional, as someone who is afraid.

Thank you Aaron! You’ve build the bridge of knowledge we aim to create. Don’t stop.

I struggle at times to sleep, worry a lot about the immediate future of our country but more so about the long-term future. We MUST KEEP our eyes on the crazy to speak out. In my mind, now is not the time to pause with our democracy being chipped away daily. I think about John Lewis often and if he made it through civil rights horror, we can too!

THANK YOU for being a beacon of light for your readers. I LOVE your quick and to the point updates. Take time to care for you, your wife and family and your physical/mental health

As a feisty, yet short Nana, who grew up with 3 brothers, I’m tough. I have to be for my 2 grand babies and my grown adult children. We MUST WIN THIS FIGHT!!!

There are so many sources of information, even just in Substack, but I wait for your emails. You put things out in small emails and let me know the highlights. If I want to know more, I can do a deep dive. Some days I have the energy to research more, and some days I don’t. But, at least I have some knowledge of what is happening. Please keep it coming!

You are spot on. I have had multiple people in the last week say that they just want to stick their head in the sand. I understand the sentiment but all that is happening is too important. I am a 73 year old subscriber and can’t look away. What he is doing is too damaging. Please keep up the fight!

People won't get anesthetized to the news you're reporting because what's happening impacts ALL OF US. Just wait until a loaf of bread is $15 and a gallon of gas is $8-$10, if we're not there already! Dropping bombs on Iran! Threatening Canada and Greenland! Demolishing the Dept. of Education, defunding libraries and book bans! Holy Shit! And no one's talking about the rift between Pakistan and India, 2 nuclear armed countries. We've got thugs who've just been handed $150 BILLION dollars yanking people off the friggin' streets and throwing innocents into concentration camps ... in America! We need you to report the news, Aaron. And I restack almost every single one of your posts to try to help you amplify the messages! Thank you

Thank you so much for your efforts and hard work, Aaron. While it's generally not good news these days, we can't ignore what's going on, and at least there have been off and on some defeats for Trump, which seem to be increasing. At this point I'd really rather see him impeached or finally removed from office for breaking laws and/or defying the constitution, but I also believe the 25th amendment is in order.

Thanks Aaron. I am feeling this. I am overwhelmed and I have recently been tuning out:(. I want to stay engaged but sometimes it is too much. I am going to unsubscribe to many of my Substacks and keep maybe 3 or 4 to follow on a daily basis. Of course I will not unsubscribe to you. I look forward to your posts every AM and PM. They are short, concise and truthful. And I thank you for that.
