Thank you so much for this uplifting summary, and for the call to support Democratic candidates for the AZ Legislature and US Congress.

Indivisible Charlotte's Signs of Freedom fit perfectly with your reflections on how far we've come, Robert. Seeing so many positive and forceful resistance actions taken over this past year in one place validated everything we do and encouraged me to keep going. Because. we ARE making a difference. We ARE slowly turning the tide back towards democracy. Stay positive and as John Lewis said, "Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and redeem the soul of America."

Just learned about a local protest on July 4 from one of the photos posted! Thanks Robert for all you do!

The Hegseth Doctrine

> No rules

> No mercy

> No prisoners

> No remorse

> No apology

Hegseth's legacy will hang on the U.S. military like a cape made from the carcasses of dead skunks.

Darn, the photo didn't show up,

The phrase is" He can't even win against algae!" So perfect and funny!!

Hi Robert-

My friends friend saw this highway sign , yesterday 6/19/26. It's perfect!!!

Also, my sister and I put up a highway sign , in Santa Barbara, on an overpass that we have posted signs before, this was our third posting, and someone took down our signs... while we went to the nearby coffee shop, they took our signs,and the brand new bungee cords!! Our sign must have really bothered someone. "Dump Trump!" "He's Nuts!", - it's gone, only lasted for an hour... we were stunned..

we are not giving in or giving up,

I love the phrase in the photo I attached, it's so clever... we will be clever and sharp again..

It is humiliating to have a president like this. Not that I take it personally, but still...

Thank you for this marker of our progress, Robert!

Pond scum, a Trump Presidential memorial. How appropriate. He creates the swamp he said he'd clean up.

Yes we have come far in a year, but we should never forget how much suffering one person was able to inflict during that year.

Let's not forget Renee Good and Alex Pretti; the Iranian school girls and their teachers who were murdered on the first day of an illegal war; cowardly admirals and generals who should have refused to follow unlawful orders and instead committed war crimes; and treasonous Republicans in Congress who betrayed the Constitution. And, let's not forget that our tax dollars are still financing Israeli genocide.

Under the banner of “you can’t make this stuff up”, future writers will look at “all things Trump related” and have a field day! The story and characters behind the reflecting pool saga should win an Emmy at least.

There is definitely enough 'Trump related" material to last for the next 100 years. I've been hoping some of the most talented people in the film industry will make a movie before the next presidential election, laying out the jaw-dropping amount of horrific damage already done by this current administration and its Project 2025 creators and supporters.

I love to see all these groups protesting. So many wonderful people and fantastic signs ♥️

Ya can't say that Donald Trump hasn't made us laugh! Why, just this morning a couple of belly laughs or at least smiles like your telling us the name of the reflecting pool contractor, Robert: "Green Water Service"! Definitely "truth in advertising:"! And now Derek's report of the "Make Algae Great Again" green baseball cap. Right now I'm nodding and smiling thinking of the tourists collecting those surfacing chips of blue paint from the reflecting pool! (Need those troops to stop the tourists, right?) Actually, I'd like to have one of those chips to remind me that WE, the people, are definitely "chipping away" at Trump's pathetic presidency. Chip away, Blue!

We paid for that absurd blue paint, so we should be free to collect on our investment if pieces break free and come to the surface, calling our name.

Marcia Braun's avatar

Debi, you've prompted yet another dimension of those poor little pieces of chipped blue paint surfacing in the pool: "Help me. Help me! He 'cray! He 'cray!" they all cry.

Protest, celebrate and keep an eye on Bill Pulte.

Hegseth's racist and sexist assault on our military isn't getting enough attention.

I fear that Trump and Hegseth are deliberately working to create a largely white,Christian nationalist military to act against America.
