How To Handle What's Coming
มุมมอง 33K14 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Our country is about to go into a crisis. The question is what are we going to do about it? Will we change with the pain, or will we hold firm to what we know of ourselves and find a stronger, better version of our country in the process? The future we’re going into will not be normal so I’m not going to wish you a Happy New Year. I’m going to wish you strength and courage and community, becaus...
Don’t Lose Your Spark: A Conversation with John Pavlovitz
มุมมอง 6Kวันที่ผ่านมา
“In the days when darkness seems to be winning, don’t lose your spark." The future might be filled with bad news, but as guest John Pavlovitz says, it will be less traumatizing if we stay connected to our source - whether that’s our faith, our family, our friends, or our morality. We can’t, as John says, “sacrifice ourselves on the altar of our empathy.” The reasons we’re feeling disheartened a...

What is Real Right Now: A Conversation with David Rothkopf
มุมมอง 12K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
Instead of having a meltdown and getting mired in every potential crisis coming from the next administration, we have to see the big picture while taking action at the local level. Ask yourself: What is real right now, and what can we do about it? That while Trump and his henchmen can do vast amounts of damage to our institutions, our way of life, and our rule of law - damage we must be on guar...
Pains in the Ass for Democracy: A Conversation with Indivisible’s Leah Greenberg
มุมมอง 18K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
The Trump administration’s goal is going to be to divide and conquer. To isolate us from each other and break our resolve and spirit, but Indivisible believes, that if we stand together, we can protect our families, our neighbors, and our democracy. That our shared future depends on every day Americans choosing to fight back. To treat an attack on one of us as an attack on all of us, and they’v...

If only there was anything organic about our elections. Citizens united is a hate crime. :(
Stephen Miller has floated the idea of denaturalizing naturalized US citizens who would be suspected of "fraud" or "criminal activity". Trump has told us that he plans to use the military to go after his detractors and holds animosity towards other elected leaders who want to hold him accountable for his crimes/who won't bend the knee The Trump administration wants you to prove your citizenship status "for other purposes"
Thanks for the info
🎉 happy insurrection day😊
In the Senate It takes 60 votes to invoke cloture and end debate on a bill, to bring it to the floor for a vote. So essentially, bills can't be passed if they don’t have the 60 cloture votes, the republican majority is only 3. The republicans would have to nuke or mini-nuke the filibuster, and Thune has stated that he intends to maintain the filibuster, if that stands, most of this is stuck or dies in the senate. There are 33 Senate seats up for election in 2026. Some of those republican seats that are up for reelection have to consider how some of these bills might play with their constituents, which might add an additional hurdle for some legislation.
Other purposes = Slavery
Appreciate the president you have right now. He is America guardrail right now
Is this ladybug audition for the View 😂
What would happen if we went after the wealth hoarding, the .01%, corporations, private equity, 'churches' brake up the monopolies, conglomerate... and invest in institutions, courts, free health care, mass transit, free university, get people into affordable homes, living wages, alternative energy etc... IE, give the world back its middle class.... upward mobility.... equity...
Dumb post.
Thank you very much !!!
How to go
Happy New Year Leigh. Thank you for your great podcasts. 🇺🇸💙⚖📮🗳
Republicans. The Party of Hypocrisy.
Republicans trying to further lay the foundation of a fascist state with an added bonus of cruelty.
Aussie here who had fentanyl after a serious car accident & surgery. Totally not addicted ! Addiction isn't about particular drugs but more complex issues.
Americans are TOO STUPID for democracy. They've proved it TWICE.
Please contact your representatives to vote no on the horrible rules changes!
Please those who didn't vote because you thought your vote didn't count. Please VOTE BLUE in 2 years! 15 million democrats didn't vote. Trump got a 1/4 of all votes. And Harris got a 1/4 of the votes. Just a little less and electoral college put Trump in office. Only 1 quarter of American voters voted for trump, which means 3/4 of America has to live with this! 3/4s? We can do better. Come together, and make U.S. UNITED AGAIN!💙
So what! Democrat voters can't be trusted to even *vote* ffs! You think they will make any difference in midterms? *No!* You think the donold crowd will have learned their lesson by midterms! *No!*
Thank you. 🎉
Um, I don't know but its 36 pages and you can link it here docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20241230/119th%20Rules%20Package%20for%20Circulation.pdf um have fun?
From Politico Website here is the another section docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/20241230/119th%20Congress%20Rules%20Section%20by%20Section%20For%20Circulation%2001.03.25.pdf its interesting we need to pay attention and show our work better maybe some links would be helpful
We Republicans are having a blast you Democrats are the ones crying like a bunch of little babies.. mad because you can't figure out what a woman is mad because you don't know what bathroom you use.. mad because you can't read dirty books the little kids anymore.. get them tissues out Democrats😂😂😂
We need to figure out a mechanism so states can arrange for us to pay our federal taxes in escrow at times when the constitution is not being observed by the federal government. Two ought to be able to play that game.
Yes!
Hello you Americans, stay away from Europe, please!
If they stop sending federal $$, we will have to stop paying them federal taxes.
BINGO!!
There may even be a conundrum because trying to intentionally hurt blue states will obviously hurt the people of red states most, since poor red states depend on Blue state federal taxes, I believe.
We have lost everything, they just certified a criminal who is unqualified for office. I keep hearing two years, but I have to wonder how many will survive the next two years. I am over 60 and feel like things have gone too far. I have seen so many changes in my life, but none were as bad as it is now.
It's horrifying 😢
I agree, but...there are literally only 2 sexes. If you're born with a vagina, you're female, and vice versa. It's biological fact.
and now google Androgen insensitivity syndrome... it's a shame that biology is complex! it's never binary!
Problem is idiots in this country keep electing weak or AIPAC owned or corporate owned democrats and the democratic leadership keeps undermining progressive candidates. In order to win we need an engaged population that cares about policy, history, and democracy but the last election showed us even the democratic base has morons.
This Republican Party would be so much more comfortable in a wonderful country like Russia or Hungary,but this is the U.S.-so far. Stay tuned. They may get their wish.
Republicans are trying to go to battle with the 5th largest economy in the world.
What will happen IF blue states stop sending federal tax funds back to Washington??
Stop with the crack honey
Who made you rhe expert on anything? A liberal school?😅
The fact that the Repukes were able to hold on to the House does not bode well for the midterm elections. It’s doubtful that the low brow rabble that voted these scumbags in will get tired of getting pissed in the face.
Thank you so much Leigh for keeping us all informed.
It was a coup not a fair election bomb threats missing ballots, hacked machines, voter purge. Trumpy said I do not need your vote. That is an admission of rigging. Why are people not talking about Leo Leonard and Heritage Foundation? They used 1.3 billion dollars to implement Project 2025. Sorry where have you been trumpy plans to be s DICTATOR!!! THE PROSECUTOR DID NOT FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY!!!

Exclent video. Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
This aged as well as your crusty face.
Actually, DJT promised lower grocery prices AND a quick end to the war in Ukraine. I have a subscription to Time Magazine, who named Trump person of the year, with the caveat that person of the year "was the person, for better or worse" the one who had had most defined politics, etc. In their interview with Trump, he admitted lowering grocery prices and ending the war in Ukraine "wasn't as simple as he had made it seem". Wow. What a shocker.
The title of this is useless for sharing - proving once again that Liberals have no fucking clue how to use social media.
Liberals are outraged...😂 What else is new.
Who are u warning...? The voters??who?
Sheep.
Fentanyl is used for conscious sedation during colonoscopies. Maybe the GOP members should have their colonoscopies without medication so they can determine if it’s medically necessary or not…
you missed the main point here... it's just for us, not for them... they rule, they don't represent!
If the corporate democrats would grow a pair and be the Republicans they are so the democratic party could become a true labor party that protects Americans economic interests then something might happen. The working class has gotten screwed by globalization and it's been both parties letting this country benefit the very wealthy only.
Illegal or even green card get arrested for almost anything they would be deported
No more than 22% of the people who call America home supported Tr•mp. Under the 14th Amendment, he should not have been allowed to take office. His is an illegitimate administration.
