good photographs as always. its a good place to look to get ideas to refresh signs as we all should do ocasonally. Th eonly thing I'll bring up, is putting the word 'vote' in red to make it stand out. I know it doesn't mean vote red in the context of the sign, but that still flits through my mind. If it does me, i'm sure it does others. Better to have 'vote' in blue or black perhaps.
QUESTION: Please explain why Democrats are not telling the American public that oil companies are foregoing profits in order to lower gas prices to help Trump by making it looks like the lower gas prices are a result of something Trump did????
Shame on Senator Coons and other disparagers of Progressive Wins in NYC primaries
Instead of disparaging the winners of NYC primaries, Senator Coons and other Democrats should be attending closely to the messages they are delivering, which have caught the hearts and imaginations of the voters. The voters care not about textbook definitions of democracy and social democracy.* They care about how their lives can be made more affordable and manageable while advancing opportunities for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – for ALL!
We have desperately needed a strong opposition party to counter the devastation wrought by the Republicans. Mainstream Democrats, in their early proclivities to show good faith and work "with" Republicans, passed bills which hurt Americans and, furthermore, did not elicit one iota of cooperation or good will on the part of Republicans.
Mainstream Democrats need to stop living in the past, when bipartisanship had a chance and socialism was sinister. What is needed now are real and meaningful solutions to people's everyday needs for housing, food, healthcare and financial security. Anything less than this is intellectual self-indulgence.
Please stop fighting progressives, and adopt their winning ways into what it means to be a Democrat!! BE the opposition party to stop the descent into fascism. BE the saviors of democracy now!!
Thank you,

*Does MAGA worry about the accuracy of political classifications? They fly the flag and call themselves patriots as they usher in the demise of all this country stands for!
Thiis is for Mamdoni. Who do you wish would win the midterms? With your 3 candidates winning primaries based on “Socialism” and anti- Israel you have dealt a blow to our chances in the midterms and beyond. You are drunk with craziness if you think you are helping us. If I was your father I would demand you drop the term “Socialist”. It’s like a boxer sticking his jaw out. With all the problems Trump has caused this country you insist on letting the Republicans finally have something to run on. They can bring back the red scare of the USSR days. The real democratic socialists Would be those in Europe and Canada who have everyone’s health care covered and strong gun control. They can do it because they don’t have a US style Republican Party to say no. We are not so lucky.
Now, about Israel. Instead of going thru the lifelong crazy fanatical useless pleas to kill off Zionism why not calmly support the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza with financial aid and a peace corp. We can really help those people while involved in finding peaceful solutions to the endless war with Hezbollah who have only added to the death toll in Lebanon.
I’m Jewish but hate the Netanyabu government as much as anyone. The U.S. would be best served by helping to end his reign in the October election in Israel. It will never happen with Trump. We should help whoever has a real chance and make it clear the Democrats are the great majority, not Trump.
Darializa Avila Chevalie has expressed support for abolishing policing, borders, and private property along with Israel. This craziness only helps Republicans. The Party has to be very strong against her way of useless thinking which only helps the other side.
Fantastic protest photos and I especially like the Bend, Oregon ones!
I listened to Jon Ossoff’s speech at his rally on the 27th. Very good and especially liked this statement and the simple message it holds: we have a profound value and money problem.
Someone (Robert, perhaps?) needs to start a working group that is focused on a plan to expand the Supreme Court. Retired judges, lawyers, and political scientists should develop a plan and start communicating with anyone running for congress, president etc. It should be a litmus test going forward. I have come to believe it's the only way out of this. Each day this goes on they are eroding our systems more and more: the military, healthcare, democracy, education, justice.
"Trump has no cards / Iran has a Strait" -Perfect. Sadly.
Meanwhile, I know it's a lot to ask, but I wonder if others like me would find it helpful if people also posted days & times for their regular protests. I'm in Sebastopol, so Cotati & Santa Rosa are pretty easy for me to get to. Thanks!
Robert, thank you for all your fine, grounding, much-needed commentary and analysis, (and photos!) helping so many of us through these tortuous times these many months. Re, your comments yesterday, however, I do urge that you and everyone reading your newsletters consider seriously the emerging publicly available information supporting that Kamala Harris very likely won the 2024 Presidential election. Compelling facts, data, and analysis from diverse, well-intentioned, capable organizations, independent and civilian journalists, academics, etc. - (to name a few - Election Truth Alliance, SMARTElections, Kait Justice, This Will Hold Substack, Dr. Walter Mebane of the U of MI, even Elon Musk's former girlfriend Ashley St. Clair) describe a cohesive, powerful picture of the extent and means of election tampering, in the swing states in particular. Audits were never done extensively, if at all, nationwide; little time remains of the two years allowed for recount of paper ballots; preparation for audits after the midterms and 2028 election should be undertaken. Please, everyone, get informed. Spread widely what you learn. This information must go public ASAP / before the midterms !!
I have wondered since the election why she conceded without calling for recounts in the closest swing states. She and her team needed to fight. As Robert keeps reminding us, she lost by a mere 300,000 votes.
Jane, I have no good answer. I've read that the DNC insisted on that response, in part so as to avoid a Big Lie scenario from the Democrats, likely more because the "leadership" in the Democratic party has not been up to the critically important fights we should have engaged in since the beginning of this regime and well before. Kamala Harris & team were not the only ones who needed to fight, and fiercely.
He scours social media for the funniest memes and video clips, then throws in some fur babies and some very corny dad jokes. This is a regular Saturday feature that I never want to miss!
There is still time to enter a comment on the proposed regulation that would make the USPS the gatekeepers of mail-in ballots. The deadline is July 2 at 5 pm ET.

hello all, The FCC wants to control who is allowed to appear on the tv show The View.
There is a commercial during the View's broadcast, weekdays at 11AM on ABC Channel 7..with a QR code scan to send a message to the FCC
it is very easy to do
It will take messages/comments until July 6
Even if you don’t watch The View, it is important to tell the FCC that they Can Not Censor The View (us!)
you can tape the show and just forward to the QR code during the commercial
I think this is important, I hope you might agree
thanks!
Thanks for letting us know about this latest, Doris. This is shameful.

Bless you, Robert, for posting all the resisters out there with signs and enthusiasm. They buck me up every time I see them.
Thank you fellow resisters! Fantastic signs and dedication! 👏🏼💙
I just came upon this Substack author and found it very enlightening. Maybe others that follow Robert are following her, but thought I would share. https://substack.com/@heatherdelaneyreese/note/p-203904422?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=1n5qbl
