We do reject Trump and his horrifying support for Putin! We are struggling to reach those who have drunk his Kool-aid, but they are beginning to see.

Those of us who have seen through Trump for many years are also struggling to find the tools we need to drive this Putin tool from office. Many of our courts and the Executive branch have been taken over by Trumpers and the Project 2025 people. They are well funded and well-organized, so it is not easy.

And with Musk wreaking havoc with Trump's blessing, we have money against us. Money long ago became a god here, so Principle has a weak footing.

Thanks for your comment Cheryl. I do not envy American citizens like yourself who stand up for their principles. I agree that Trump’s support of Putin is absolutely horrifying. Hopefully, you and many other concerned citizens will succeed in persuading a number of MAGA zealots to re-think their positions before it is too late.

Wishing you well! I truly believe you will succeed.

ok BUT SCOTUS just this morning voted to actually pay $2BN to contractors whose work has been completed. Of course Trump will continue to appeal this (almost, though delayed) just result, at our expense; but it's too early to give up on the Judiciary.

Today’s SCOTUS ruling is encouraging. Hopefully, the courts will support USAID as well and will stand up for Justice as often as 47 runs rough shod over democratic values. As Trump shows - literally EACH and every day - the forces of oligarchy (chaos?) don’t take a rest. Ergo, principled Americans still have a huge battle on their hands - each day right through the 2026 mid terms. North of the border we Canadians will fight the unjust and destructive Trump tariffs. Together we can accomplish great things. In MLK’s immortal words, “Let Freedom ring!” Let those bells of Justice toll. Best wishes!

I have not given up on the Judiciary. We still have so.e very principled judges and Justices. But Trump has the power of the Executive, and that's where the enforcers of the law reside
