When Donald Trump floated the idea of running for a third term this morning—despite the Constitution’s clear two-term limit—it wasn’t just a rhetorical provocation.
I get this is gonna be an unpopular opinion and this is nothing against you, but I watch MSNBC as Republicans were on consistently rarely saw Democrats. I believe the media is responsible for not calling MAGA what they really are and they are fascist and if we keep pretending saying that they’re people with grievances or some other bullshit like that You will intensify their control and personally I blame the media. So if the media gets attacked a little bit maybe if they start calling MAGA what they really are which is fascist then perhaps we can go ahead and get to a better point. Maybe the press should take advice from the 1930s in this particular case. MAGA is no different than the silver legion of America.
Mainstream media has been muzzled and cowed. They’ve been warned. Just look at the fact that mainstream media is not reporting on any of the marches/protests or rallies that are going on all across the United States. Pretty much the only one I’ve seen that is doing that is Rachel Maddow. How long will that last, I have to ask myself? If you attend a march or protest, take video and post on social media so others can see they are not alone in their distress and can then be inspired to join one so feel the community that is pushing back.
That’s why independent journalists like Aaron and other Substackers are so important. If you are able, support those you want to see continue reporting and share their platforms.
I believe it is Holland that has enacted into law where any comment made and published if false the author has 7 days to correct themselves. I'll look for it. Posted it on Home page this morning. As to American media each one is owned by an oligarch other than the public broadcasting radio and television which is funded by, we the people, and is now on the chopping block; but I think we can hold them up when the time comes. Trump holds much less power than we do together, and he knows it and fears it. Remember your worth and don't let anything or anyone or any EO chip away at it. There is power in a collective response to a shared experience such as this; we have witnessed it in our time. Believe we will get to where we deserve to be. Just show up and keep the faith.
It doesn’t seem like writing to our congressmen, congresswomen, and representatives is doing much anymore, especially the Republicans. What else can we do about this issue? It just keeps getting worse, and it doesn’t seem like they are listening to the people.
That is false the phone calls to Congress are actually the most powerful tool. The organizers of activism stress it so much that at a meeting today we were asked to take ten minutes every day and call. The EO's are written every day which gives us an instant script.
And there is plenty more we can do. Do you need direction? I started by reaching out to INDIVISIBLE and that participation in a zoom meeting led to my receiving an e-mail listing all the activities of what I call my "local tribe" of activists. I try to participate in two activities each month in that I also work full time with a long commute.
It will get worse, but this is not a Netflix series that wraps up with a happy ending while we eat popcorn. The reality is you are correct it is a big deal, but we will prevail.
There is so much untapped power we will discover as we show up in greater and greater numbers on the phone, at protests and rallies and in the background doing what needs to be done. In fact, this may even be a gift in the end because it has been a master class for me certainly and our children as to the power of not neglecting our civic duty and the importance of voicing our concerns relentlessly into the ears of those holding elected positions.
They work for us! And we work for our democracy. In some ways we have neglected that.
If you have any suggestions of additional actions we can take I am all ears. This is my list so far ------
-calls using 5 Calls free app to call Senators, Rep - almost daily
not daily but mixing in regularly:
-Emailing reps
-Small donations to substacks, candidates (FL this week, WI this week, etc), people's town halls (Chris Murphy, Maxwell Frost, AOC, Bernie....) (I'm eating out less so I can do this)
-bigger occasional donations such as Democracy Forward, ACLU, Indivisible
-Rallies we are attending most weeks
-hosting a sign making party this Thursday for my friends etc
-we have a Democracy Action bulletin board on our fence with rallies and qr codes for indivisible.org and 5 calls app
-I talk w people and show them the 5 Calls App and we download tog and I show them how to use (if they are interested :)
-phone banking indivisible hooked me up w I called Wisconsin re the Supreme court race, very interesting phone banking, talking w people
-join Days of Action with Country First on some weeks
Kid items
my kid made a flyer with qr codes and we give them out here and there and pin some up for folks to scan or take
my kid bought a flag to hang on the fence and a bulletin board so we could keep our neighbors informed if they want to act
organizing a run for democracy
attends rallies
...
I would love to add to this list and am very open to ideas. I also ask bc I'm trying to gather my mom friends and help them be able to take manageable actions.
Wow! You should post a photo of that fence!! The fence idea is excellent and in fact I've used it myself when influencing and fighting against imminent domain that targeted my property but would have had an effect on the properties surrounding me as well as the entire community with roads widened. Love that your sweet child is right there in the thick of it. Amazing.
Ideas: Maybe cards drawn by your child and then posted to the Prime Minister of Canada and other nations our former allies from your child. It is a good geography lesson as well as a good lesson in addressing an envelope to a dignitary. Google how it is done but the card or whatever your child creates is perfect standing on its own. He could post to Canada, the UK, Denmark, Greenland, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Lithuania and the surrounding members of NATO within Europe from an American child and family who along with millions of other American children and their families want to show support for our allies. Not that your child needs to write at length but that would be the intent or theme. A reaching across the divide to our allies from the families and children of America.
Also, perhaps your mom could pen thank you notes to all the law firms as well as the Judges who are standing up to Trump. You could include AGs like Lettitia James who together with other AGs have been doing enormous work. She described it and had words of encouragement for all of us with some direction on a Meidas pod cast about two weeks ago. You should view it and if you need help, I'll find it.
because USAID funded Ukraine's Voice of American and Radio Free Europe as well as supported Kyiv Independent journalists and they are challenged today. Musk pulled that plug targeting Ukraine. The people raised $60K to keep the channels open but that will not last. Kyiv Independent is my favorite source of news and stories. It is lovely. Today I listened to some video interviews. They also sell articles of clothing that reflect their art and culture.
And another idea is to collect whatever you can from the community to donate to Ukraine to help them given we are pulling out our support under Trump. United24 is the web site.
Wow this is so great! I am printing and implement your ideas! So appreciate this!
Once I get the bulletin board updated re the April 5 marches around here, I will get a photo. Not sure if it is possible on here to attach a photo? Thank you!
I'm happy that may be helpful. Just a word of advice. I would not publish a photo of your child if you do send a photo of the bulletin board. Maybe I'm old fashioned but never thought it was a good idea -- I may be wrong. I'm likely old enough to be your grandmother and you know how we can be.
Honest question regarding 5 calls app. I am in a blue state (RI) with great members of Congress. I do call them on some matters so they hear from their constituents but they’re voting as I would want. Can I use 5 calls app to call reps in other states? When I enter zip code, give a different one?
I have wondered the same thing.....my rep and senators are democrats.... I sometimes call to urge/ sometimes to thank/ and sometimes have called other districts but also would appreciate advice on this...
The representatives have a web site for their local constituents and a phone number but a different web site and phone number for their Congressional Washington DC offices. I contacted Schumer who is not my representative and was able to use his web site form that was defaulted for his state zip code but you could change it to your zip code. He also had a different phone number in Washington DC versus his state office. Maybe if you find the people you want to reach and find their number in DC you could put that into the app. It will take a bit of experimentation. I don't think their state offices encourage contact, but the DC offices are different I think from my experiencing reaching Schumer. I know that Aaron Parnas would know. Do you follow him. Beto O'Rourke would know too. Or better yet INDIVISIBLE!! So much to learn. We are doing great though!!
I’ve written to my congressman and senator multiple times, but they are siding with the Republicans and not listening to the people. I received an email from him stating that he supports what is happening and that he is chairing a Subcommittee hearing on FEMA to “bring common sense back to emergency response.” He is also leading a Subcommittee hearing on the Department of Justice, focusing on what he calls the “proven political bias” of media agencies like PBS and NPR.
Why He Says It “Matters”:
His bill, the No Propaganda Act, aims to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. He argues that taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to fund what he considers propaganda and biased media. He claims PBS and NPR have promoted multiple “hoaxes,” including the Russia Collusion Hoax, the Border Agents Whipping Illegals Hoax, and the Hunter Biden Laptop Hoax.
I don’t agree with what my congressman is saying. I will call and message him tomorrow.
I agree that things will get worse unless we unite and fight for the greater good. I will look into ways I can support this more. I’ve never heard of INDIVISIBLE, but I’ll check it out. I’m also new to this, so it’s a learning process with everything going on. The last time Trump was in office, I was in middle school, so I didn’t know much beyond the drama in school.
Whoever it is, they're up for reelection next year. I'd remind them of that. Maga Representatives don't appear to be listening, however, our messaging has been strong. There's no way they're not seeing, otherwise, why aren't they showing up at their own townhalls?
That’s right! They’re up for reelection. Unfortunately, my area is very red, so it’s an uphill battle. I agree—the message has been strong, and it’s only going to get stronger.
Wow that is tough! But then you are all the more needed!
on indivisible.org you will be able to find groups in your state and hopefully area and you can navigate the website to find actions you can take and they also do planning sessions in which you can find how to deal with your district.
We are all new to this! Heeding the call! Sending support and appreciation!
I wonder if letters to the editor of local papers is a good idea there?
I know one of the state representatives listens to the people. I will be going to her event next week so I can talk to her about our next steps. She is a Republican, but she cares about the people and will do whatever she can to protect them.
I also signed up for the Indivisible.org Zoom meeting later this week. Hopefully, it will provide more information.
Town Halls? What is your local activist group doing? I find my by attending a zoom meet hosted by Indivisible after which they sent to all who attended an email with info on local activist groups based on my zip code. I wonder if they or even INDIVISIBLE could help you organize a protest outside the Capitol. I hate what they are doing to PBS and NPR -- My God -- at least they are consistent targeting all that is good but what they are doing in fact is laying the ground work for autocracy where we will be cut off and have no information just like Russians.
Unfortunately, my congressman only holds phone call “town halls,” and he doesn’t do them very often. When I checked Indivisible, I found a group in my area, but their Facebook group and website don’t align, so I need to look into it more. Our next rally is next week at the Capitol on LGBTQ issues. I also found where to check for upcoming events at the Capitol building. I signed up for their emails—will I eventually get links for the Zoom meetings for Indivisible?
Sorry for all the questions! 😅
They honestly need to back off and start doing their job. Even a Democrat from my state has been siding with Republicans on some issues when he should have held his ground.
It’s crazy that they’re trying to take away PBS and NPR. That’s what I watched as a kid, and it taught me so much—things like counting, numbers, and other basics that helped me when I was first going into school. I guess this is just their way of trying to stop educating people altogether—it’s so messed up.
I don't mind questions. I'm a helper personality!! I can sense the posts are getting more conversational amongst us members and casual as if we were in the same room literally. There is an energy building. It is an organic response to people uniting which then yields that indominable power needed to overthrow an autocrat. Things will get worse. It will take time. But human beings are adaptable and resilient especially if they can lean on each other and work as a group. Your sign could read "Hands Off!! Public Broadcasting!! I grieve at the thought of losing it myself for as with you it has always been the most enjoyable and satisfying source of news, information, ideas, and music. It is so finely curated with no commercials. More relaxed experience. But back to the Congressman -- stay on him like a hair shirt maybe he'll decide to leave politics for some other line of work if you turn up the heat with calls and I do remember reading somewhere to turn to Indivisible for help organizing a protest to get the attention of a "hiding" elected official. I'm sure you will solve it. Take care. Work tomorrow!
PS: And of course, when a Democrat runs against him pull out all the stops and fund raise. You can do so here as well sending us links to their website. I've seen Harry Dunn do that for the campaigns in Wisconsin. As to fund raising for a campaign it is to me passe to focus on fund raising within state lines -- we need to donate and recruit support across state lines. I have been donating across state lines since 2020. I check to see who the candidates for vulnerable seats are holding them or challenging them and donate not much depending on my budget usually from $3 to $5 and then when things get tight, I'll slow it down or stop or just revert to $1. I don't get carried away since I am very limited as to resources. Every nickel counts. I think the person running gets energy from the contributions especially if they come from across state lines. We have an excellent Mayor here. And Boston is a sanctuary city. She handled herself brilliantly being brought before a committee where they grilled her. She had just given birth to her third child weeks before and he infant was there with her being cared for by her husband. She performed brilliantly. Mayor Wu -- you can likely see her testimony using google. So, I sent her $100. I hope she wins again.
That’s a good idea. Sorry I’m just seeing this now.
What Cory Booker did yesterday into today is what was needed to fuel the people in my opinion.
I do have a couple of questions…
1. When the next president comes in can they sign an executive order to undo everything Trump has been doing?
2. Will democrats have more of a chance of winning in 2028 with a male running for office? Because it seems like when Clinton and Harris ran they didn’t win because of their gender…
We cannot let this happen.. and I say “we” as a Canadian. I stand with Americans fighting against this regime. Closing borders, for what? I literally work for a Canadian company that does most of its business in the US. We have done this for 14 years helping small businesses compete with large corporations. We have never had an issue until Donald took office, not once. 0.2% of fentanyl enters the USA through Canada. In fact, more fentanyl comes into Canada from the US. Americans are being lied to and the uneducated cannot see it. We cannot deal with 4 years of this, let alone a 3rd term. He needs to be impeached now. If you’re American and you’re not protesting, you will soon wish you had.
Thank you Aaron for all you do. I’m glad you make it free cause I really can’t even afford $5 a month at this point and I’m worried that my husband and I won’t get our SS check in the coming months. I follow you closely as well as MeidasTouch. The only people I trust
I know it's hard to fight racism and keep the freedom of the press and out democracy, but I want to thank you so much for all the work you have done, Aaron.
As an Australian pensioner wanting to keep in touch with the news, I really appreciate the free accessibility Thank you for your views and the future of journalism. I stand with you!
Thank you for all you do Aaron! You are an inspiration.
I stand with you!
Thank you so much Aaron!

It will be so awesome I believe we will look back and be glad we had been graced with the opportunity to live it!

We have never had an issue until Donald took office, not once. 0.2% of fentanyl enters the USA through Canada. In fact, more fentanyl comes into Canada from the US. Americans are being lied to and the uneducated cannot see it. We cannot deal with 4 years of this, let alone a 3rd term. He needs to be impeached now. If you’re American and you’re not protesting, you will soon wish you had.
Thank you neighbor to the North!
u r NOT ALONE!!!!! 🙏💯🙏
I stand with you!
Thank you Aaron for all you do. I’m glad you make it free cause I really can’t even afford $5 a month at this point and I’m worried that my husband and I won’t get our SS check in the coming months. I follow you closely as well as MeidasTouch. The only people I trust
I know it's hard to fight racism and keep the freedom of the press and out democracy, but I want to thank you so much for all the work you have done, Aaron.
