Boy have I got some phraseology for you, Sarah. Roosevelt gave us the New Deal. DJT is saddling us with #TheRawDeal. FDR introduced social safety nets like Social Security, adding to America’s greatness.
Now Trump is #SquanderingAmericasGreatness
while a cowardly complicit Congress rubberstamps the #ProSTRIFE agenda within the BBB.
Let’s make sure that every politician that voted for it hears it loud and clear that they will be an #FTR
#FinalTermRepublican
They’ve now proven that they are not conservatives, they are #CORPservatives, acting in full servitude to their billionaire and corporate donors.
Meanwhile, we have to look towards the #22ndCenturyThinking of progressives to lead us out of this #PeriodOfEndarkenment.
Please consider using these hashtags and phraseology on all of your platforms! Framing the truth in unique ways always broadens our game.
Really good. I tell people ... ' never repeat trump's slogans' And look up George Lakoff's Truth Sandwich.
And my thoughts
A THOUGHT:
With the loss of mainstream media, we need more TOWN CRIERS. Indivisible and others you are coordinating with can become the TOWN CRIERS.
Few people kNOW what’s in the Bill. Now is the time to educate local people with SPECIFICS and not generalizations.
No media is really informing people. TOWN CRIERS were the MEDIA!
We need them now. We need ’teach-ins’ locally about the very specifics of the Bill. We need signs that specifically say what the Bill with do. We need slogans and verbal messaging about the specifics of this Bill.
I'm a Medicaid recipient I need my Medicaid due to me. having multiple illnesses that hinder my days. I am on multiple medications. I am on SSI RECEIVING $795. due to SSI saying they overpaid me and everyone else. I'm supposed to be on SSDI clearly. MRI'S, CAT SCANS, AUTRA SOUNDS AMOUNGST other test don't Exaggerate. Thanks for reading.
2 of my favorite and trusted people - Reverend Barber & Sarah Longwell. Thank you for coming together to share Sarah's initiative to share first person accounts of the cruelty of our current Executive Admin and GOP policies.
I honestly wish I could be alone in a room with Donald Trump. I held off the Boise SWAT team here in Boise. I was not armed and stood out in the open. My son had schizophrenia and Boise police have a history of shooting unarmed people with mental illness. I had called for an ambulance. My son had kidney failure. He was unable to sit up. But the SWAT team held off the ambulance because they wanted to search his home (without a warrant). I had offered to take them into my son's home. I wanted to witness what they would do. Boise police entered my property, came up behind me, and handcuffed me. They gave me a ticket for “resisting arrest, and forced me into a squad car. By the time they finished searching my son's home, he was in complete kidney failure. I contested the ticket and the judge threw out their case.
I only tell this story to illustrate that I am brave and I would gladly face Trump. Nothing scares me anymore. I find it impossible to believe that nobody in the GOP, the fools he has appointed to his cabinet, or anybody in Amazon, Meta, or Tesla will stand up to Trump. I will turn 77 this week. I taught young children with big problems big problems for 32 years. I am not rich, nor am I powerful in the conventional sense of the word.
The government could take away everything I own, but NOBODY could force me to bow to Donald Trump. I have morals.
Power is drawing your own lines and being strong enough to risk everything (even your own life) to stand up for what is right.
What a great idea that the politicians should listen more and pontificate less. Keep harping on this.
Also, after another video, a list was given of every marginal group needing defense was given, but the LGBTQ group was left out. Please include them, too.
Sarah - Great Program! My current concern is: Marital Law and NO Elections - the folks behind DJT are not stupid. They know next election they will get clobbered - so they surely are planning ways to scuttle future elections. We ALL need to know how to prepare to counter this - what to do if this happens. Can you please start talking about this repeatedly - so we can be prepared?? Please?
Everyone needs to read the article that Judge J. Michael Luttig!! He now has a Substack and he is the one that told Mike Pence in 2020 that the Constitution did not allow him to not authorize the vote for Joe Biden when Trump asked him to that. He is a very well known and respected Constitutional scholar that knows what is happening is very wrong. When you mentioned the 27 asks in the Declaration of Independence that article breaks it down. He also wrote about how those asks were needed in 1776 and how closely it resembles what is happening today! I highly recommend everyone taking time to read it.
The stories are important but I'm m curious to see how information is going to be distributed to the rural res areas that are really isolated and every house and store has the fox propaganda playing 24x7

Sarah Longwell’s Home of the Brave isn’t just another platform. It’s a megaphone for the silenced. When regular people share how radical policies wreck their lives, it cuts through spin like a blade.
That’s how democracy stays alive—not through pundits, but through testimony.
This Moral Monday, those stories march into Congressional offices. Truth dressed in everyday clothes.
Thanks for this inspiring conversation from the three of you!! Forward together indeed! My local Indivisible chapter is becoming my forward together team…

Those are GOOD. I hope sara reads the comments!
Thank you! Kind of hoping that they find their way to Ezra Levin of Indivisible as well…

You have been through a lot! Thanks for sharing your story and giving me a bit of your courage from your sharing.
Courage is contagious! Forward together, not one step back!
That was amazing. Three of my heroes together on one podcast….

Rev. Hartgrove & Bishop Barber I'm so grateful for you ❤️ 🙏
That was just lovely to hear. You all are inspirational people. Thank you.
The stories are important but I'm m curious to see how information is going to be distributed to the rural res areas that are really isolated and every house and store has the fox propaganda playing 24x7
The million dollar question. How? And esp. since local news medias have folded in these areas so they have little other than Fox.

Because courage is contagious.
And silence is how injustice survives.
We need to surround the White House with thousands, a permanent, in his face, protest 24/7 365 until he's gone
