Dr Phil. A gross violation of human dignity, turning people’s suffering into entertainment. And how people will cheer, popcorn in hand. Absolutely Nauseating.
He is the absolute lowest of low. Even worse than Jerry Springer. Springer didn’t pretend to be anything but what he was. “Dr.” Phil pretends to be an authority on everything. Oprah really promoted some real winners (“Dr.” Oz being another one).
Exactly! This is just a way to privatize it and instead of our tax dollars covering it we will pay extra for it- and you know we don’t see a decrease in our taxes!
TSA does a lot more than just look through people's luggage and watch the X-ray machines. Mike Lee is an idiot. The airlines do not have the personnel, and would not know how to do the training or clearances to do it themselves.
It absolutely has. But this is their goal. Overwhelm us to the extent that we burn out on resisting and we roll over and give up. This is their tactic and is likely to go on for the first 90 days or so. So we have to do whatever it is, to continue the resistance. I’ve read several articles on how to avoid burnout. I’m trying my best to stay motivated and not let burnout or fear change my way of life. 💜
Yeah..I actually woke up this morning wanting to give up. Me!? A decades long radical activist, with ancestral activism in my blood. So I'm gonna stay close in with all of you. Regrouping on self care too.
I heard Trump just hit the golf course! Might be fake news, but if its true, good for us. (Unless this was his reward for being so diligent last week.)
Thanks Timothy..we can uplift and continue strong when we stay connected in appreciation! Honestly I might skim articles, but don't go so much for that as I do for staying in alignment, in integrity with my deepest intentions, every day to live by my dedication to uplift the good and fight evil. I have one on one convos with people in my life, and invite them into the resistance. I stay connected with those inspiring leaders I just suggested above and take action when suggested. One of my main deals/joys is to encourage folx to get and stay engaged. It's easy to get discouraged but as you know, impatience can get the best of us. I rage and complain and cry as needed but I have a 5 minute rule for that! Then carry on...I believe in the long haul..."The arc of the universe is long but bends toward justice"! Community is where I find my roots and daily support in the resistance. Been doing this since I was 14 and I'm in my 70's now. I will never stop resisting hate. Never.

Good sleep! And good. Exercise daily. Stay informed! But take little breaks as needed. Know we are in for the long haul; it’s a marathon not a sprint. Create local real time connections-this is essential! Send lots of likes and appreciations to others, do all the things suggested so we are LOUD! Connect daily with good and reputable substacks; I like Dworkin Report, The Contrarian, Hopium Chronicles, Aaron and MeidasTouch enjoy funny and engaging Netflix or other streaming. Get hugs from family and friends. If I feel discouraged I let others know and get support. We can let our voices out and take all the actions possible. What might you suggest? ✌🏼💙
You rock! I can actually feel your sincerity, empathy and concern. I get so hopeless when I see one after another, people I thought were stalwart and dependable, fall like dominoes. The latest was Tim Kaine, former governor of Virginia and currently my senator. I voted for him.
I have a lot of family that live or have lived in Virginia and they feel that too. If it weren’t for having a liberal governor in KS (and the liberal pockets of Kansas City and Wichita), we would be SOL.
I wish I had saved the link, but I have found that it’s ok to take a step back, to breathe. It’s ok to not read the comments. Pick 1-2 topics that you are most passionate about and focus on them, so as not to overwhelm yourself with the negative on EVERY topic. As I come across more, I will try to remember to come back here and post links (ADHD brain… I’ll do my best). Rely on one another. We must have each other’s backs. When one of us needs to rest, we need to be willing to carry those because there will likely be a time we need to rest too. Organizing on a local level is big and probably needing to move the organizing away from using anything Meta or X, including messengers. There have been several days that I only allowed myself to watch Aaron’s updates and any updates from Under the Desk News. No other reading or watching if I wasn’t in a good place mentally. Take your medicine and drink your water! It’s easy to let it all slip when you get in a funk. 💜
Thank you, Dana, for validating what I've been feeling. Misery loves company; I'm dismayed we are all going through this, but so glad others feel the same way.
I am going to try to find some books that were written by people who lived in Germany during WW2 or at least in Europe. I would genuinely love to hear their perspective and learn how they navigated.
My ancestors were attacked. They knew it was coming so they prepared and mostly took quick action. They stuck together and many of them raised money for the others to escape and net and lived together in tenement houses in NY. They had underground meetings. They persevered or else I wouldn’t be here texting with you! They leaned in with each other and relied on strength and creative action instead of feeling victimized. They worked hard in the face of the moment. 👍🏼
He said, all who dare to defy the American golden age must heed this warning...you will lose- tow ( yes he spelt it like that) or we will run you down. Gloves are off, were not playing around this time. We can and we will do so much more.
Yeah, that and the threat to not provide any federal aid for the wild fires. Does Trump even get briefed at all before he goes to disaster sites? I'm in KY, and even I knew about CA's innovative water system. And putting salt water on wild fires? Maybe in Florida, but not CA!!
Exactly. With all the big tech companies moving to Texas, they need their migrant workers more than ever. If they were smart, all the ICE deportation flights should be landing in Texas! He’d see growth opportunity like never before.
Does anybody know where deportees will be held while they wait for flights out of the country? Are there camps? If so, where? Are there independent witnesses to make sure they are not being treated poorly?
I read that as raids increase, we won't be able to fly them all out in a timely manner so I have heard though cannot confirm at the moment, the people may be held in interment centers built on military bases. Also apparently for profit prisons are salivating at the thought that the government will pay them to hold the backlog of immigrants while they are waiting (how long) to be deported. Beyond that I have not heard but that is not unusual--Trump flying off the handle unprepared as usual to show his base how he keeps (certain) his campaign promises, without stopping to analyze just how many more problems down the road by his actions.
Yep, that's basically what I was expecting to hear. But at this point, just knowing that they are probably at a military base or maybe at a for-profit prison, that doesn't really tell us where they are! Thank you for confirming what I was already thinking though. I appreciate it
No, not joking, of course I share your lack of confidence that this will be done properly and that people will be treated like humans, but the way that we get witnesses and accountability is by asking for it, pointing it out, knowing what's going on. We got to know where the people are so that we can take care of them
Do you have any details on in what manner the deportees were attempted to be sent to Columbia and how that differs from what Columbia is asking for? I'm not entirely clear on this.

Agree
Dr. Phil. How disgusting. 🤮
The TSA? Like… I’m not fond of them but that seems wild…
This is TERRIFYING
Mind-blowingly WILD 🫠
Then the airlines pay for it and they free money up for themselves
How good of security is an airline like Southwest gonna pay for? Also they’ll probably just tack on a 150$ security fee.
Exactly! This is just a way to privatize it and instead of our tax dollars covering it we will pay extra for it- and you know we don’t see a decrease in our taxes!
Trump has to have some way to decrease the massive increase in debt he is planning on saddling us with.
TSA does a lot more than just look through people's luggage and watch the X-ray machines. Mike Lee is an idiot. The airlines do not have the personnel, and would not know how to do the training or clearances to do it themselves.
exactly--costs getting passed on to the everyday consumer yet AGAIN.
Only one week. It feels like it’s been much, much, MUCH longer.
It absolutely has. But this is their goal. Overwhelm us to the extent that we burn out on resisting and we roll over and give up.

I absolutely agree. What are some articles that you find most helpful?
If you could share some links I would be very appreciative.

Thanks for ALL you do!
I support Scott Dworkin-he is that positive energy, too!
I will check out the other two.
And follow you!
☮️💙& 💪‼️
In solidarity with you!
Please share any tips and tricks!

It is so sickening and disheartening.
Thanks for speaking up.
I have a lot of family that live or have lived in Virginia and they feel that too. If it weren’t for having a liberal governor in KS (and the liberal pockets of Kansas City and Wichita), we would be SOL.

I am going to try to find some books that were written by people who lived in Germany during WW2 or at least in Europe. I would genuinely love to hear their perspective and learn how they navigated.
I struggle with wondering if this will turn more into WWII Germany or modern day North Korea. Neither appealing.
My ancestors were attacked. They knew it was coming so they prepared and mostly took quick action. They stuck together and many of them raised money for the others to escape and net and lived together in tenement houses in NY. They had underground meetings. They persevered or else I wouldn’t be here texting with you! They leaned in with each other and relied on strength and creative action instead of feeling victimized.

TSA? Do we not remember 9/11?
Thank you! Can you provide updates on Ukraine and Gaza?
Yes. We need to keep eyes on Gaza especially in light of DJT comments about relocating them which is wild and 100% wrong.
I want to emphasize that, Aaron you are doing great work! You will also be figuring out a new platform in real time with a following.
Pretty much, you will have some growing pains to muster through!
I believe he has in one of his tiktok videos or on here on substack.
Thank You Aaron. Please report on Eric Trump’s tweet that was taken down 20 minutes after he posted it. Pure evil!!
What was it?
He said, all who dare to defy the American golden age must heed this warning...you will lose- tow ( yes he spelt it like that) or we will run you down. Gloves are off, were not playing around this time. We can and we will do so much more.
I'm seeing different sources on the internet saying that it was a doctored screenshot, but I'm not 100% sure.
What tweet? You mean Eric was allowed near a communication device?? Breakdown in Trump security!
Yikes. Just read about it. 😳
What was the tweet?
Love these updates!
Will the WASP videos also be returned to the airforce curriculum?
Yes!
My concern also ⚘️
Same
This is what I came to ask!
Dr. Phil trying desperately to cling to relevance. Pathetic old sack of skin and bones.
They are FILMING the raids??!! That is repulsive !
Was never on the Dr. Phil bus, but my God. These people have literally sold their souls.
I wonder how Abbott is feeling about the ice raids in Texas? It’s going to shut down the construction industry in Texas!
It's not even just tech companies and construction, we have a unique economy here because of the agriculture as well. This is going to be very bad.
I live in California and it’s going to get really bad here especially for our agricultural industry.
Yeah, that and the threat to not provide any federal aid for the wild fires. Does Trump even get briefed at all before he goes to disaster sites? I'm in KY, and even I knew about CA's innovative water system. And putting salt water on wild fires? Maybe in Florida, but not CA!!
I'm in CA too...bracing for the destruction here but since so much produce comes from here, the entire country will suffer.
Meh! He'll just find a way to blame Biden. 💁🏾♀️
That asshat is on board with it. He agreed to have the 'detention centers' here. He is a vile man. We need to get him out!!
Exactly. With all the big tech companies moving to Texas, they need their migrant workers more than ever. If they were smart, all the ICE deportation flights should be landing in Texas! He’d see growth opportunity like never before.
Does anybody know where deportees will be held while they wait for flights out of the country? Are there camps? If so, where? Are there independent witnesses to make sure they are not being treated poorly?

You're joking, right? We don't have enough "independent witnesses" to cover it! Too disorganized.
No, not joking, of course I share your lack of confidence that this will be done properly and that people will be treated like humans, but the way that we get witnesses and accountability is by asking for it, pointing it out, knowing what's going on. We got to know where the people are so that we can take care of them
Do you have any details on in what manner the deportees were attempted to be sent to Columbia and how that differs from what Columbia is asking for? I'm not entirely clear on this.
you mean Colombia; or are you a plant??
Yes, we mean Colombia. A little bit of kindness goes a long way, Geri.
Wow, letting airlines be in charge of security... this will be interesting
