In our latest Substack Live, we discussed why journalists shouldn't believe the Trump Admin, how Trump is stoking chaos to justify the Insurrection Act, and why mass nonviolent organizing is needed.
I appreciate the easy back & forth between you & Don, Ahmed. Something else I appreciate? Your modesty and professionalism, in comparison with Don's...let's just say ego. I know, he's been through it and earned the scars. But I like how you don't make the news about you.
They are all liars - dj tRump must have trained them!
Indivisible is who got the No Kings going and we came very close to the 3.5% during the last one. There are other organizations but I believe they are coordinating together. I don't know when the next one will be but I agree with you both, we need to all come out! PROTEST and write to your Congresspeople and Senators (or call) keep doing it! Civil rights for black people FINALLY won. While not perfect it was a start. It's all lives matter! Black, white, yellow, brown, and red. Did I miss anyone? It is time!
You are exactly right, Ahmed! We need to learn and learn well from the courage, strength, and persistence of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. None of this half-assed, once per quarter white boomers protests. That won’t move the needle. We very much have to be comfortable with the discomfort of constantly saying No to our so-called elected officials. They need to be run out of town. I’m ready to storm the Bastille if that’s what it will take.

That is the point!
