All three of you inspire hope for a future that rights the wrongs of the past.

Why isn’t Rev. Barber and other faith leaders doing a national zoom prayer — together with rabbis priests and so on — yogis. Americans need help in these perilous times to soothe our souls. This would be one of the greatest gifts you could give us — and remember: all other religions are in danger ‼️ unless you belong to the imposter Christian Nationalisn who are not Christian. Pete you be there too. Jesus doesn’t believe in stealing from the poor or the middle class or stealing our lands or destroying our country to make the ultra rich richer

Moral Monday's, Bishop Barber & Rev. Hartgrove in this video work with ALL faith leaders. Every protest on moral Mondays has many different faith leaders coming together ❤️

Most people can't get to Moral Mondays. Zooms are a great tool. But I'll be looking for people to do that nationally.. The audience is small for Moral Mondays. People don't even know its happening. THey don't even know there's been arrests. People across the country are terrified. A Zoom meeting means people in hiding can participate. It also means it's difficult to arrest people. There's nothing more that these Chrisitian Nationalists would dislike. We need to speak to people across the nation.

According to a briefing by US General Dan Caine, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, seven B-2 stealth bombers, each valued at approximately $2.1bn, dropped at least 14 bunker-buster bombs worth millions on Fordow and Natanz.

2.1 billion each...imagine the food and health care that could have been provided...

Yes, but I'd guess that Trump's billionaire "friends" will find some way to survive anyway...

Pete, you're such an excellent speaker. Its so frustrating that none of the folks who support trumps agenda ANSWER questions. I would think that new leaders need to know how to ask a question that forces a Yes or No answer. Watching senate hearings, etc...it's maddening to see them let them get away with not answering questions.

That's what the other side did. They even wrote a book about the policies those in their shadow cabinet recommended and how to implement them. They titled it - get this - Project 2025.

Where is our Project 2029?

Everyone seems to assume that a single person without dependents or spouse can make it on their own. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! I will have to end my life if I lose the Food Assistance and Medicaid. I'm done. And my blood will be on the hands of every single person in this country who never considers those of us who are single and POOR.

Please don’t end your life. There’s no changing your mind once you go forward with it, and you may have a last minute change of heart.

I will never understand why WE the PEOPLE have to tell our representatives WHAT is in THIS BILL - it's their job to read it. I have lived in other country with free healthcare, etc. - a truer democracy - and the citizens do not have to do this -- attending hearings and informing leaders how to vote to represent them. This was never a democracy, and frankly, I prefer socialism. At least its fair.

Why didn't Democrats do this education about the bill? THEY NEED TO START TODAY AND GET IT ON THE AIRWAVES and in every communication venue

Women are a huge voting population and, please--"reproductive rights" is not the key issue that politicians think it is.

Women have been underpaid since the beginning of women being in the workforce. What about violence against women?

Please look at the truth about how men broadly devalue women and that is the basis of how men have treated women since the beginning of human time.

The Senate is scheduled to vote over the weekend. Monday may be too late. As Reverend Barber said, all Democrats must be on every media and repeat the pernicious actions in the bill.
