I agree with all your suggestions. For those who may be unaware, Aaron Parnas is a reliable journalist who reports the actual facts here on Substack. He is also a lawyer. He does an amazing job, and I hear of most breaking U.S. political news first on his Substack. I also follow AP News which is free. Two other good sources of news are Straight Arrow News and Ground News. You can pay for extra services from the last two, but you don't have to. I don't. I also sometimes watch news from other countries, such as the UK and Canada. Like anything, just decide if you think the reporting seems factual. I find that it gives a more complete picture of world news especially, and sometimes even U.S. news by doing that. It is much harder to get factual news these days, but it is still possible. You just need to find good sources. Independent media is vital in the U.S. now.
Mary Trump Media produced by Mary Trump and Mueller She Wrote produced by Allison Gill are both excellent independent media sources and need your support. Also on Substack is Erin in the Morning she follows national news related to Transgender Rights and attacks on their community and notifies them. She’s incredible.
I really like Mary trump. Aaron, MeidasTouch, and Legal AF are doing the work. They’re focused on uniting us. That’s what we need right now.
But yesterday, I listened to Mehdi Hasan and Wajahat Ali on Substack (Left Hook), and it was disappointing. The entire discussion felt like a stab at Democrats across the board. Yes, they were there to promote Zohran Mamdani (who I respect and like), but in the process they tore down every other Democrat … starting with Gavin Newsom.
This is the problem with parts of left-wing media. Instead of building solidarity, too many pundits spend their time nitpicking, tearing down, and chasing personal agendas … whether tied to race, religion, gender, or ideology. Meanwhile, the right remains disciplined and unified behind their candidates, no matter how dishonest or destructive they may be. And that unity gives them power.
Right now, the stakes are too high for infighting. We don’t have the luxury of “16th-grade level” complaints or micro-politics. We’re facing a macro threat to democracy itself. Division only helps Trump. What we need is focus, unity, and a clear-eyed understanding that defeating authoritarianism comes before everything else.
Also MTM by Mary Trump (yes trump) and Allison Gil produces Daily Beans (news with swearing) and much more. Both are independent and MTM produce videos daily. Both have podcasts, check them out and subscribe. Thank you for your attention to this matter 😉

The RECKONING has begun Part 1. - UNTIL IT HITS HOME, TRUMP VOTERS WILL KEEP LOOKING AWAY—BUT THE RECKONING IS HERE. This is long but will finish in part 2
Chump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” isn’t a budget—it’s P2*25 turned into law. A blueprint for authoritarian rule disguised as fiscal policy. And the damage? ———It’s about to hit YOU.
Here’s how it’s coming for YOU:
WHEN THE STORM HITS & NO ONE COMES - NO FEMA!!!!!!Sec. 80307–80309: Slashes climate resilience + FEMA funds. Hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and wildfires will leave your town in ruins—and there’ll be no help coming. Just ask North Carolina and Kentucky.
WHEN YOUR MEDICARE/MEDICAID IS GONE - People will D!E Sec. 44141 + 44122 + 44131: Medicaid work requirements + limits + blue state penalties
Can’t prove you worked enough hours? Say goodbye to coverage. Missed the
paperwork? No backpay. Live in a blue state? Tough luck.
WHEN YOUR MEDICARE, MEDICAID, & VETERANS CARE DISAPPEAR Sections 44141, 44122, 44131, 44125
Work requirements kick seniors off Medicaid…many will die, become homeless
Blue states lose funding for expanded coverage.
Gender-affirming care banned—even for veterans who served this country.
Retroactive coverage is eliminated—so if you got sick before paperwork cleared, too
bad.
And veterans? They’ll face longer wait times, fewer providers, and reduced support for mental health, PTSD, and service-related conditions—while Trump brags about giving billions to his golf resorts.
WHEN YOU CAN’T AFFORD A DOCTOR Sec. 44110 + 44125: Cuts all care for undocumented people + bans gender-affirming care
Your local hospital shuts down because funding dries up. You get in line—and find out your service doesn’t exist anymore.
WHEN YOUR GROCERY BILL DOUBLES Trump tariffs + SNAP cuts in Sec. 10008, 10012
Your produce costs more, your gas costs more, and your neighbor just got kicked off food assistance at age 64.
WHEN YOUR PHARMACY, POST OFFICE, OR BANK VANISHES Budget austerity + deregulation (Sec. 50002, 50003)
The institutions holding your small town together disappear—and with them, your access to medicine, checks, and mail.
Trump said it himself: “I have the right to do whatever I want.” This bill gives him that power—with your tax dollars.
This is not a warning.This is happening.Its theft wrapped in a flag. It’s censorship, cruelty, control—and collapse.
CALL YOUR SENATORS CONSISTENTLY : (202) 224-3121
Tell them this isn’t patriotism—it’s pillage.
And if you’ve been silent? Now is the time to speak. THIS BILL CANNOT PASS!
Because soon, this won’t be about politics.
It’ll be about survival.
Knowledge is power. Please share this information and educate fellow Americans.
I do not contest any of what you have stated. I would add one more player to the mix of those who stand to benefit; the Evangelical Churches, the most conservative ones who have aimed for and see themselves in the precipice of “a Christian Nation”. As a Christian I have witnessed this movement gain inertia since the Moral Majority, and now with the model and agenda of Project 2025, we are witnessing it, for me as a pastor and Christian, with horror come into power as a pseudo-Christian cult. From the Focus of the Family to The Heritage Foundation, while only a fraction of the Christian population in the US, they have wielded a disproportionate amount of influence over elections, per issues and now, policy. They too benefit from blending “patriotism” and faith and presenting it to a simple minded, uneducated populace who haven’t blinked yet at false theology and misrepresentation of Biblical passages. What this group closely and be informed about Project 2025, they are the driving force against education, healthcare, science, abortion and birth control. Most frightening is their war on women, P2025 contributors believing they should not be educated past 8th grade, should not hold possession of property, bank accounts, the right to vote; basically a “Christian version of the Taliban.
They are taking a jackhammer to wall of separation between Church and State. As someone who volunteered to resettle refugees from the Balkan wars, I know what religious militia can (and don’t kid yourselves, WILL) do to religious minorities. Torture and killings of the most horrific acts. Refugees who came here have witnessed the bodies of people of their faith with their faces split open, have been imprisoned and taken for mock executions (one gentleman still has PTSD twenty-odd years later), have been sprayed with chemicals that burned out his cornea (his American eye surgeon said he had only seen pictures of such damage from mustard gas in WW1). I could go on. Do we really believe that if the so-called American “Christian” nationalists have power they will not devolve into this kind of violence against religious minorities?
Yes, listen up people it’s “if we can keep it” time to stop buying everything on Amazon, support small businesses and farmers. If you an old white hippie then you need to hit the streets and protest, if you can’t do that then write a ton of F—-ing letters. Remember writing and calling your representatives. Run for office yourself if possible. We are losing our democracy, time to shit or get off the pot. If you care,,,?
The Trojan Horse 🐎 hidden by "the enemies within". WILL take down the nation. The diabolical 😈 little ditty known as Section 70302 is the keys to the kingdom. And Section 43201(c) AI will disallow states refusals for 10 years.
No mention of current legal fight or midterm elections. Currently this is the biggest resistance of all. The system must evolve after putting the sociopaths down. Legal AF and MTN are doing much to inform and resist. Embrace their truths.
This explains so many aspects of the nightmare unfolding, but explains the hope we can have by banding together and fighting like hell. Thank you so much.
Use this spreadsheet as a resource to call/email/write members of Congress, the Cabinet and news organizations. Reach out to your own reps, as well as those in other states on a specific committee important to a topic you’re sharing. Use your voice and make some “good trouble.”
I got rid of my Amazon Echo devices: I don’t like the idea of an always-on microphone in my home, that’s tied to a company that’s complicit with the whims of this administration. Especially when _all recordings_ are processed in the cloud.
Nonviolence is a tool, one of many, not a moral imperative. Trump and lackeys are clearly not afraid of being violent: dissappearing people in the night is violence, threatening to and then taking away rights is violence, scapegoating minorities, alienating allies, etc. all violence. Controlled, strategic violence is also a tool, a tool that may have to be used if we are to make it out of this alive. This is already an existential threat for Many people. To cling to nonviolence as the only way forward is to continue thinking "they won't come for me" when they can and they will.
I don't know what you consider evil, but I would say strategic violence should be aimed at infrastructure which fuels the sort of abuses we're seeing. Sabotaging ice vehicles maybe hypothetically. I'm not advocating random acts of violence that cause civilian casualties. strategic violence sends a message, "we're not going to sit here and take this", (the threat of a fight is sometimes more effective than the actual fight) while hurting or slowing down the fascist machine that is gobbling up public safety nets and putting military on our streets. Again, they have no problem using violence in ways that are ostensibly evil.
Suggest adding Meidastouch, Legal AF, and Aaron Parnas to the independent journalist listing
Thank you, yes! We’ll be editing the post soon to add Meidastouch and Legal AF!

We need to promote the correct ones.
Also Brian Tyler Cohen
oh yeah he is great!
Suggest adding Joyce Vance (Civil Discourse), Bulwark, Pod Save America
Yes excellent sources.
BULWARK! Absolutely!
These are great independent news reporters and I follow them for news. They tell you things main stream media won't talk about.

Read Gareth Gore’s Opus.
It’s an eye opener into the fascist far right catholic cult Opus Dei. And learn about Leonard Leo.
I’ve been screaming into the Void about this for years.
Me too
Did you see Pope Leo gave a warning to Opus Dei?
No, I missed it. When? June? What about Knights of Columbus?

Excellent post
They're hiding a little secret
The Trojan Horse 🐎 hidden by "the enemies within". WILL take down the nation. The diabolical 😈 little ditty known as Section 70302 is the keys to the kingdom. And Section 43201(c) AI will disallow states refusals for 10 years.
The signing of the bill is the gasoline.🔥
that will destroy the nation.
And MILLIONS of people WILL die..
ALL by design.
Decades in the making. Now in full fruition.

Is there an organized event in NYC June 14?
Asking for mass transit riders.
Yes! You can find it on the map at nokings.org. It’s a march from Bryant Park starting at 2pm ET.
1,400 protests planned for June 14th throughout the US.
Ty I loved it and appreciate it so much
This explains so many aspects of the nightmare unfolding, but explains the hope we can have by banding together and fighting like hell. Thank you so much.
Yes, you finally and succinctly described exactly what is happening to our beloved country. Thank You!
Absolutely love this ! I know this take so much time to put together I am so greatful for you all
