AG with her investigative reporting and HCR with her historical perspective are a dynamite combination, thanks! I would like to add that I have been watching politics since the JFK days and for the most part I have seen that Americans aren't cowed by intimidation attempts: they are angered.

It’s trumps method. It’s called extortion.

"Five-names-vance" is out there talking on tv about how he's ready to be president, how he's been training for it the last few months. This seems really "off" from the way VPs talk about the president, even if they have to lie about the president's health.

Right. Modeling smartness. There’s plenty of us out here. Just not regarded by mainstream as pretty-sexy-blonde enough to be a smart woman that does not threaten certain men.

I caught the last half of this interview earlier today, and I am so glad I subscribed to Alison's substack so I can hear all of it. Thank you both for this. It gives me hope.

Using AI to determine eligibility for medical care is unconscionable.

You two are a dynamic duo. We the people, benefit from your accurate assessments on the chaos and power grabs behind this administration. Keep up the good work.

We appreciate strong women's voices to offset the misogyny coming out of this White House.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!! WE WILL NOT FORGET. WE BELIEVE THE EPSTEIN SURVIVORS AND WE DEMAND THAT THEIR VOICES GET A CHANCE TO BE HEARD. WE WANT PERPETRATORS TO BE NAMED.

We have two very powerful and effective women who will take issue with troops occupying South or North station in Boston: Mayor Wu and Gov Healy.

Would not suggest trump mess w/ Boston.

My suggestion: treat our uninvited ‘guests’ with courtesy.

We will not give trump the satisfaction or opportunity to militarize our city.

No need to antagonize these people. They can help with picking up litter. Make it all a big nothing.

Corporate media is shooting itself in the foot. They rely on advertising dollars.

You know what to do.

Exceptionally pertinent chat.

And SO helpful from a #mood perspective!

Why? Because this one has well grounded inspiration points that will move others too, I think.

To wit: the historical perspective provided directly alongside of-the-NOW observations showing clear signs of exploitable weakness of regime leadership and architecture.

As we approach the last big holiday weekend opportunity for getting out and peacefully demonstrating - We can try to persuade others that We the People know how to exercise our freedom with intelligence and purpose.

This really ought to be shared with friends & family...

Pass it on!
