This is a great question. I know we’ve been boycotting, protesting and calling/emailing our elected officials. But honestly it feels like we need to ramp it up.

I think we need to pay attention to other countries for ideas. I just read in Substack that bus drivers are on strike in Japan, still working but not collecting fares. So the people aren’t getting hurt. That to me is thinking smart.

I had suggested holding back federal taxes but that time has passed.

I think posting publicly all the dark money some congress members are doing would be something we should do…we also have to make sure the public knows what the trump family is doing behind the scenes with all this crypto shenanigans.

Problem is getting corporate media to grow some balls. I wish I had better ideas, but again see what other countries have done is my best suggestion. We can and should learn from each other. This is a race we cannot lose. Thank you Jane for all you do.

Thank you for your courage over the years. My sister and I marched in Washington against the Vietnam War.

This situation with the Trump administration is worse because along with the Republican Party they are destroying our Democracy.

Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...

Jane,

I took your climate survey. I would like to privately donate to your pack. Do you have a post office box that you use? My concern is that ACT BLUE is being investigated - I have always been a private person and would like to remain that way. Please reach out to me where so can send a donation check to.

What about lobbying together with other democratic organizations? Corporations contribute so little in order to affect such large dollar amounts. Let’s take the opposite side and lobby for good!

Jane, consider changing the format for donations. You have a global audience. There’s no capacity in your present process to allow foreign donations to be made. And they need to be firewalled. Many people may want to travel to the US and don’t publicly support SubStack contributors for fear their details could raise red flags with immigration enforcement agencies.

Great statement—a chorus of many voices, not single voices isolated from each other.
