Time is everything. If you don’t stand up now, if you don’t protest, resist, disrupt and refuse to comply, you may lose your country forever. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now!
Every dictator and billionaire who ever tried to control the people lost when the people fought back. Trump and Musk think they can rewrite the rules.
Prove them wrong!
Stay in the fight. Stand with your community.
I will be wearing these kinds of shirts the next four years 👇
Thank you, Beto! Your leadership and call to action is appreciated! I am a Veteran, Patriot, and I love my country; however, what is happening is straight out of some dystopian sci-fi novel! It honestly scares me.
I used to read a lot of dystopian sci-fi when I was young. Maybe that's why this whole thing is so anxiety provoking? Also, I was told constantly through a good part of my life that I was grossly overestimating the percentage of people with psych/emotional/cognitive issues. I now find that I was grossly UNDERestimating that percentage. I've never been so upset to be proven right.
We all have the sense of everything being unrecognizable. But when it gets to you get out and away and put down the blue screens for a full day at minimum. Take care of yourself. I have a flip phone so just leaving the house even with my phone places me in a healing bubble. Then I turn on music not the news and try to fit in some time gazing at any body of water. Where I live, we have the ocean and bay.
But we are being exposed for four solid weeks 24/7 to very, very sick people. There are quite a few diagnoses that should be medicated and monitored running lose in the White House.
Narcissists (one of the myriad of diagnoses on display) are drawn to positions where they will garner fame and wealth and power. Think Hollywood, Los Angeles, Washington DC. They are CEO's and, in many top-of the-shit-pile roles.
But keep in mind they are not the majority by any stretch; however, they leave in their wake the traumatized and broken. Think Michael Cohen for one. It is not the end, however. In each life there will be one or more of these actors. It is like a car accident you learn to never go down that road again and with support will heal.
Unfortunately, we have a very, very sick and narcissistic actor running the country who has surrounded himself with others of the same ilk. That may be to our favor as you usually cannot put that personality in a room together with others who have the same personality. There is no one around to adore any one of them.
Of course, Trump's administration has the Republicans to lick their boots. As to those nominated, they are of one class only "hanger-on and failed human beings whose only notable characteristic is they are completely and fully incompetent.
Yes, I've taken a step back from the news. Since '22 I haven't had the bandwidth to follow much other than Ukraine and then the election. I have family living next door to Ukraine so my interest is somewhat personal. Lately I've been wondering if I might be better off living there. For the moment I'm focusing on tying up multiple loose ends and minimizing the extent my life depends on other people doing their jobs. I agree that we need to emotionally detach....
You sound strong and emotionally healthy, plus you have options albeit I’m sure you would not have wished living in a time where you needed such options. I admire your strength and the choices you have made to sustain in these times. It is inspiring really. God speed.
agreed. but that is a tall order...Abbott and Paxton and Patrick have the entire state of Texas rigged when it comes to election times, especially Harris county.
Beto. Please keep speaking and leading with confidence. No one seems confident if disagreeing with the administration efforts. We need confident leadership to speak intelligently and to the point of order without getting mired in the misdirection
The citizens of MAGA gripped Iowa send their Solidarity in resistance to school vouchers. Our public schools have been slowly gutted by them. WE JOIN YOU FROM AFAR IN THE FIGHT, AS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE DESTRUCTION TO OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS!!!!! 🤜🤛
I bet the MAGAs did not read or believe Project 2025 contained much else other than what they dream of achieving. That is what is so sad about being conned. A con man (or person) reads the mark brilliantly then grooms the mark and makes them feel safe and comfortable then they act on the knowing what the mark dearly wishes for themselves or their family; fully trusted now they make the move and offer to help -- take you down a garden path while stripping you of everything then turn a corner and they are gone. That is what is happening to MAGAs now. Look at how different we are as a nation of people from let's say 2012 when there was not this divide and so much hate. Amazing.
Glad to see you have joined the fight for democracy on Substack, Beto! You have some valuable name recognition that could help the cause. I am doing my best as well on my own substack- The Uncivil Civilian. Would love to have you as a subscriber because it looks like we share the same concerns. Keep up the fight regardless! -Michael Jaquish
So basically the psycho narcissist orange puppet told his cult "hey go commit hate crimes I got your back" all these is turning into 1930's-1940's Germany
It’s the 4th Reich - with Zionist support. Ironic. A new Axis of Evil? Hitler took 53 days to dismantle the Republic. What will the Deranged Orange and his Oligarchs manage?
Has anyone else noticed sole individuals just outside the lines of a protest walking around with a huge flag that is upside down? I don't think that would be a symbol for a protest against Trump. I saw one in Plymouth at Plymouth Rock and in a photo of the protests around the country on Presidents' Day I saw one inside the frame of the photo of that large crowd. That's MAGA yes? So creepy waiting for orders. God help us.
There's MAGA members infiltrated in every single protest and here too, look for Kris Goldsmith here in Substack, he a his team have a more surgical-tactical approach intelligence wise against the regime, please reach out and join the cause, we need people like you.
Unfortunately Oklahoma has the same problem that Texas does. Governor Stitt has been virtue signaling Trump for years. And our synonym House people are Mullin, Hern, and Lankford, who all walked arm and arm and lock step with Trump and his ilk. They're doing the same thing to our school systems with the help of Ryan walters! They just decided last night that parents can go ahead and apply for those lottery to get their kids into private schools but they're already full with those that have way more money than they know what to do with and no compassion for others! Our public schools have been flushed down the toilet by Walters in order to make sure that this past! And because all of our people here are fear of trump and what he could do to them or the fact honestly that he'll have his girlfriend elonia primary everybody nobody has the balls to stand up anymore! And since our state, a bright red state, has a population that would rather listen to Fox News then think for themselves we don't have very much hope for our state. That doesn't stop me from writing them and calling them and telling them to put people first and politics last! Each day I've emailed them I don't know if it'll make a difference, but it's better than doing nothing! You see less than 2 years ago I lost my sight due to scleroderma, so I'm learning how to read Braille, I'm learning how to use my cane, I'm hoping to someday be able to get a job with my skills that I had before, just a little different than I used to be. It's an uphill climb it's been a battle, but rather than give up and give in I would rather fight! I want America to care again.
I don't get this "privatization" of public schools. It must be a money maker for someone plus the children will be taught the antithesis of what we were taught. History will be rewritten foe one. And those who cannot afford school will just not be able to go to school, I guess. This is like what my friend who is from Ghana described is life growing up in Ghana. She said one child is chosen to go to school because you need a uniform, and they are too expensive to provide to all the children in the family. Sometimes a neighbor will have a uniform, and they borrow them back and forth. Barriers to education.
I will be happy to help with turning out the vote in Texas. I participated in your 2024 campaign. You have devised a brilliant system. I recommended it to the Democrats' organization after the election. I hope they have been in touch with you. Thank you so much for doing what you do. I evacuated to San Antonio after Katrina destroyed New Orleans. I returned home, but I am fond of Texas. I just don't like the Republican governance there.
Time is everything. If you don’t stand up now, if you don’t protest, resist, disrupt and refuse to comply, you may lose your country forever. History has shown that those who act early have the best chance of reclaiming their freedom. The time to fight back is now!

We will not back down!
Thank you, Beto. Your energy and commitment are amazing, and infectious, and yours is a voice we desperately need right now.
Someday, he’s gonna be our President. Hopefully in 2028.

when can we get Abbott out???
Not until the end of 2027 😭
omg dont tell me that 😭😭
Start working now to make it happen
agreed. but that is a tall order...Abbott and Paxton and Patrick have the entire state of Texas rigged when it comes to election times, especially Harris county.
Next Year.
Thank you! I need to channel my grief, anxiety, and horror every day.
Beto. Please keep speaking and leading with confidence. No one seems confident if disagreeing with the administration efforts. We need confident leadership to speak intelligently and to the point of order without getting mired in the misdirection
So well said Beto!
We love you and wish you well— you don’t give up ever and neither can we!!

Thank you Beto. You are an inspiration. Can you and your community help fund my partner’s lawsuit against Trump and musk? It was a racist firing of a dedicated DEI civil servant: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/can-you-help-fund-my-partners-lawsuit

Serious action is urgently required
So basically the psycho narcissist orange puppet told his cult "hey go commit hate crimes I got your back" all these is turning into 1930's-1940's Germany
Yup!
It’s the 4th Reich - with Zionist support. Ironic. A new Axis of Evil? Hitler took 53 days to dismantle the Republic. What will the Deranged Orange and his Oligarchs manage?

I will check it out for certain. Thank you for reaching out. Keep in touch if you can.

Hang in there! You are fighting the good fight. Solidarity from your neighbor in North Texas.
I don't get this "privatization" of public schools. It must be a money maker for someone plus the children will be taught the antithesis of what we were taught. History will be rewritten foe one. And those who cannot afford school will just not be able to go to school, I guess. This is like what my friend who is from Ghana described is life growing up in Ghana.

It’s. Way for the Mega churches to get more money
I will be happy to help with turning out the vote in Texas. I participated in your 2024 campaign. You have devised a brilliant system.

Maybe you could message Beto? I don't know if that is possible.
Thank you, Beto! I’m glad to see your input and leadership!
Thanks, I’ll be reading your posts!!
