this is why i follow DEFIANCE religiously! TY MILES! Yes, elections must be the focus. Meanwhile, i've been trying to spread your article about the problems with the 25th amendment anytime I see comments calling for it. You might specifically reach out to DR BANDY X LEE, one of the psychs who coordinated the first report from all the psych pros diagnosing drümpf's mental illness. She's got a big following and is making a LOUD push for the 25th. maybe you should have her on! 🤷🏻‍♀️🙏🏻‼️

🧚🏽‍♂️LINK FAIRY EDIT for your convenience, Dr Lee's article on the 25th: https://bandyxlee.substack.com/p/the-25th-amendment-should-have-been?r=60kbqc&utm_medium=ios&shareImageVariant=overlay

I like the way you think Miles: “defy the destruction of our democracy!”

Miles, Donald Trump has frontal lobe dementia, behavioral variant. It is as clear as day and I believe that we need to put all hands on deck informing the American public and everyone in Congress. It is not a political issue....it's a functional health issue, one that puts the entire world in danger. He needs to be removed from office. To my way of thinking, we need to educate people and especially, educate Republicans that they are supporting a man who is incapable of performing any kind of work that requires decision making. Please help educate ... Barbara Hawkins, retired gerontologist

Donald Trump has been a useful idiot to Putin, Netanyahu and many others over the years. He didn’t have dementia then but does now. He is a clear and present danger but there isn’t any body to stop him! They are complicit and in for the long haul, hoping to retain power.

We must protect our right to vote no matter at all costs! This regime is going to try everything!

Elections must be the focus. We must take over House and Senate in November and everywhere there is an election.

Reminding me of a favorite expression I first heard back in my Hippie days -

If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

We each need to find ALL the ways best suited to us individually to be part of the solution and DO IT!

I'm trying everything I can think of, from donating to 'Many' with Small donations, posting every petition that I think will help, Talking to others in Real Life too. I'm also trying to donate to lawyers that are suing this gov't. And there are SO MANY lawsuits going on that I feel compelled to just give a dollar if that's all I can give. One dollar x a million MAKES a big difference. I've been reading 'different ideas' of using other parts of the Constitution to remove him if we can do it that way.

you and me both. Another old saying that helps me stay sane, because it is SO TRUE

All you can do is the best you can with what you've got. If you do that nobody can fault you.

I just joined because of the respect I have for you. You’re standing up to this tyrant. How I wish the GOP senators would grow some balls.

Yes we are defiant together against the Trump Regime - this entire enabler group of do-nothings and/or asskissers! Let’s also hold to account the do-nothing and no leadership democrats.

Thank you Miles. My subscription to Defiance.org is literally the best money I have ever spent. I mention you and this movement every chance I get on social media to try and bring more people here. I worked polls in the midterms in 2022. I am working the polls at the primaries this year and hopefully these midterms. I will do all I can to do my part to make sure these elections are free and fair. Thank you for the hard work you do, and putting yourself out there.

Dear Canada, your southern neighbor needs a regime change. We could be your 11th province.......

All of your live events interfere with my work schedule (I’m a psychotherapist, which is a pretty badly needed profession right now), but I appreciate being able to read your Substack newsletters. I am grateful for the work you do. I understand his pathology and know we will never be able to sigh with relief and go on with life as usual while he occupies the White House. This is a new and nihilistic ball game.

Before Trump began rage posting his way into genocide charges the Strait was open & gas was 40% less.

Jamelle Bouie: “Forcing others to submit through the indiscriminate use of force does not really sound like war... It sounds like rape.” Trump & Hegseth MO is “the ideology of the rapist.”

Resist MAGA gangster grifter authoritarianism! Vote Sane. #VoteBlue!
