Is there a way to have Trump arrested for his gutting of the government, and—if so—who would do that? The House and Senate are certainly not going to impeach him, and the cabinet would never vote to oust him.

Mary, how do we fight anything when your Uncle has basically gutted this country? How do you stand up to him, if you even have that answer? Thanks

May I offer a suggestion? Get out of your comfort zone. SEE who is most in need around you. Help their situation. This movement and pushback will start, grow and end locally. Insist your politicians do the right thing and oppose this stuff. Let them know they risk losing their seat if they don't. Try connecting with local folks through various forums who share your views. Indivisible.org has many activists holding their feet to the fire in almost every area. People ARE standing up showing their great numbers!

The part most people don't understand is, threatening them with losing their seat is not going to matter. The midterms are 2 years away, and at the pace this is moving, this democracy won't make it another couple of weeks. It only took Hitler 53 days once he was in office to seize total control. Trump has already been in office almost that long, and this runaway train is going at breakneck speed. They've had this planned for at least several years now, and are "this close" to pulling it off, so they are NOT going to slow down now. Shock and awe....chaos and speed...are what they have going for them. They've already got control of all the government systems, and can shut down the military and other government systems in a few minutes, and everything will come to a standstill. All they need then is their "Reichstag moment"...something that they can declare is an "emergency".... to declare martial law, which will suspend the laws AND the Constitution, and they will go about their merry way imposing their will on us. We don't have time for niceties like midterm elections anymore. There will be no more elections if these guys get their way. This is an all-hands-on-deck, 5-alarm fire.

You are so right about not having anymore elections but we can not allow this to happen, we must get out there and do something about it!! DEMOCRATS must gain a SPINE and get out there!!

Thank you for saying this, Judy! I totally agree that the midterms are too far away--we need action now. But despite all of the good intentions of our new "revolutionaries," I am still skeptical that we can really do anything meaningful without new leadership rising from the Democrat party.

It starts on the super local level. If you're in the US, what town/county. Write to those state reps/senators. (Not just the ones in DC.) If you're a parent, volunteer at the schools, get involved with the PTO. Help clear wishlists. Think of where you buy from.

Hello from Australia! I have been watching with horror as events unfold in your country since the campaigns. My heart goes out to you and all Americans who are living in that hell. Know that the rest of the world cares and, not only for what you are going through right now and in the coming months (years?), but also what it could mean more broadly internationally.

Mary, I love that you use the arts as your salve, and I enjoy the moments when you share some of your favourites with us. Sending love and appreciation for the wonderful work you are doing.

You are a kind soul. This person considers herself a media queen and has some fans in progressive world. She is an intelligent person normally. She used to have well researched pieces, but something happened to her and she really just goes off in weird directions now. This started before Donald was installed the first time. She started attacking all Americans very harshly instead of just the politicians she doesn't care for. Kicker is her hubby is from America. No worries because so many of your fellow citizens are awesome people.

I’m 84, depend on Social Security, and am physically disabled. I feel that my mission in this fight is as an encourager of those more able than myself.

I have taken a break now and then when things seem overwhelming, but as I look around, I see signs of hope. There have been several town halls by GOP Congress members where the people asked hard questions, and booed answers that didn’t satisfy their concerns. These were in red districts where the Congress members thought they had full support from the public. Even red voters are angry.

I'm physically disabled too (polio survivor), and I am encouraged by the rising tide of anger toward the admin. I tried to sound the alarm about RFK JR and vaccines--my heart would break to see another wave of polio in our country. That didn't seem to matter. What does matter is when folks find out the plans include them, not some nameless "other" or "liberal." Keep encouraging!

As the 72 year old daughter of a mother who was confined to home 24/7 and in a wheelchair due to polio I have a hard time listening to anti-vaccination BS.

Every single one of us must do something, no matter how small, and together it matters. There will not be a great Democratic leader who comes forward to lead us out of this. It is up to "We The People"!

One thing, every single day.

Picking that person willing to go up against MAGA and now what seems to be some sort of Neo nazi white man's club will be very important and people are being vetted.

Also very very important is how to get our message out, which media types for which age groups etc. Meanwhile vote in your local and state elections, the outcome of these is MAJORLY IMPORTANT 🇺🇸

While we are at it, let's take back our flag!! from those I feel are traitorous MAGA .

Don't Despair!!! They win each time one of us voices a powerless thought. It may be overwhelming, but we have been here before in history, never this blatantly, but we know we can support younger generations to get this country back on track to be a humane, inclusive,productive,creative,

loving society...

As we used to say all those years ago :

keep the faith💙

Speak truth to power💙

So right (or rather 'left'!) about this. Email your congressmen (Cause most GOP s are male). Email EVERY US CONGRESSMAN. They count the numbers of emails or phone calls and multiply by a factor to figure out what % of pop. supports such views received. Phone them non -stop. If able to do so, go to district town hall meetings be loud, be polite, but DO NOT BACK DOWN AND TAKE NO B.S. THEY work for you, not the other way around and better realize it!! GET TO indivisible.com website and find local supporters even in Red areas. You can do on-line or phone or other organizing as volunteer for them from your own home. Volunteer to phone for Dems (I did from Canada, give you a script, they hide the phone # in their office #, easy as pie!) Solidarity and love from the Frozen North. As an old-school union (teacher) activist in my spare time, still a lifelong member for the service I did while teaching full time as well, I know how this works and this is what is done in political offices.s..they really DO listen multiply by a factor they have to figure out the pop.% agreeing with you, and they will fear for their jobs as they should. COLLECTIVE ACTION IS ALL THAT WORKS AGAINST FASCISM. Love from Canada to all you BLUE DOT AND BLUE VOTERS AND INDEPENDENT VOTERS and even forgiveness for the red hats who didn't want this to happen and regret their vote. JUST DO SOMETHING ONE THING EACH DAY!!

At almost 69 and also disabled, I, too, am dependent on Social Security, as well as other programs they are talking about taking away.

Dear good Americans and Mary Know the we in Canada 🇨🇦 share your grief anger rage and we know most of you did not vote for this all appearances to the contrary! Here our MP Charlie Angus is leading the Resistance to protect our Sovereign nationhood see Substack: CharlieAngusTheResistance. I think it will hearten you to know that you are not alone!! Canada stands with you Europe is organizing at NATO and at the EU to develop additional to NATO European Armed Forces . Charlie attended NATO as part of our Parliamentary representatives of MP s spoke brilliantly as first speaker in the delegation called it Fascism and stirred up so much deserved shit that Latvia did the same and then told him “We decided to be like Canadians”! Bernie AoC and the progressive caucus are touring Red States and across the country to raise the people to put pressure on ALL in Congress to defeat the tax cut omnibus bill destroying social services so that only 3 Congress Reps need to vote with Dems & can be pressured to grow a pair, (since so many of the GOP are male ) and do what their constituents demand!! May I suggest too using the Rule of International Law to take on the Article 5 of NATO and demand that USA stop threatening sovereign nationhood states with annexation! Greenland Canada Panama. We are with you in this fight against Fascist Americans world wide! I’d go so far as to suggest that Congress be forced to call on NATO to invade Washington as a hostile state to NATO itself and to remove forcefully Trump Musk and Vance to be replaced by a President and Vice President chosen by Congress as was done frequently in the 1800s!! They could do so in 2026 perhaps if the 25th demented moron amendment were used once two to three seats flip to Dems!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, Catherine, and I assume I speak for many others.

It’s very heartening to know that other countries are with us, even when the “demented moron” sitting in the Oval Office appears determined to sever our relationships around the world and piss off all our wonderful allies.

I’ve never heard of our president and VP being removed by force here, let alone “frequently.” Which presidents have you heard about that happening with?

I’m also very intrigued by the idea of calling on NATO to come do it. That’s an idea I definitely hadn’t thought of - and it’s brilliant. We are for sure quickly becoming an intractably hostile force.

The only real way to stop a coup that I know of, or had at least thought of, would be essentially a counter-coup by the military. But leaving our own army in charge of running the country does not seem like a good idea given the history of military coups elsewhere. We definitely do not need a military government. NATO would not have the same kind of vested interest in taking over power itself. I really, really hope things here don’t come to that.

I believe Catherine meant that Congress often selected the President and Vice President in the 1800s, not that the U.S. executive branch officers were often removed by force.

Brenda, My husband passed away in December and I am just starting to receive his VA pension and his Social Security. I'll be filing taxes on my own for the 1st time in a long while. I'm holding onto hope that my only source of income, our federal govt, is going to hold. Last week, I had to speak with a VA and then a Social Security worker.

It all comes down to this I feel:

"Do unto others what you would have them do unto you" aka the golden rule

And perhaps keep in mind the premise that " god is love" I guess more of a New Testament thing, even so the Bible appears to be also full of chapters where god smites whole populations... cherry picking verses that comfort you if religion is your thing is ok as long as it makes you loving to others...I am agnostic mostly but see the intricate beautiful design in all creatures & so Mother Nature was my parent from an early age, and I am grateful to her daily as she helped me survive a completely dysfunctional Republican FOO.

They are the 'nuclear option' - the big guns to be used in the final assault. We are on the verge of anarchy and any bold move must be timed to achieve its mission without a lot of collateral damage. Remember the Lt. Calley defense in Vietnam: "We had to destroy the village to save it." The former Presidents acutely know how fragile the government is and the consequences of too many bulls in the China shop.

Expand full comment

I’m get the idea of timing, but when democracy is on life support, waiting for the ‘right moment’ can turn into waiting too long. The former presidents may be the ‘nuclear option,’ but silence isn’t strategy, it’s surrender. If they know how fragile the government is, all the more reason to reinforce it now, not after the damage is irreversible. Bold action must be timed, yes, but it must also happen. The question is, will they act before it’s too late?

These guys are experienced and savvy. They also are surrounded by some of the best minds in the world. There will be only one chance and it has to be swift and sure. We are at war.

I wondered the same thing are they waiting, gathering I don’t know I do understand Biden needs to rest trump tortured him for 4 years no other President had to put up with so much. Now only Democrats did Fraud how stupid does Musk and DUMBAS THINK 1/2 Americans are.

Still conning Americans MUSK IS EVIL TRUMP STUPID THATS FOR SURE.

I DONT SEE HOW HE CANT BE ARRESTED FOR THE PRIVACY ACT he has no authority at all unless DOGE is created by Congress no Dept. musk is NOT the head of anything EO isn’t law. THEY MUSK BE CONFIRM SO

ALSO MAYBE EU can have him arrested for not following their laws.

What hay to all these said assassination attempting the stop once he’s elected that weird how that happen to have all that security as 20 black SUV more than Biden. I find all of it odd from the time JFKjr complained about no security then they go after DJT something smell way off in my opinion only maybe I reading way to much into it. I always thought it was set up in PA sure weird how he missed but yet hit bystander. Have good day to much news

There’s no doubt that Biden has endured more attacks, disinformation, and obstruction than any modern president, and the corruption enabling Trump is staggering. But at this point, it’s not about resting—it’s about fighting. This moment requires all hands on deck, whether in public or behind the scenes. And you're right—Musk, Trump, and their enablers are testing the limits of the law, but laws only hold if they’re enforced. If accountability doesn’t come now, when will it?

Also Texas Gov trying to con DJT out $6b from Fed Gov to replace the money he spent last 4 yrs because he was butt hurt. He’s a corrupt Gov that wants sympathy for himself. Another MAGA ALONG WITH PAXTON that will bring hate on minorities. I hope his state suffer from immigrants being removed, but I bet the red state are the last to have that happen to. My goodness it’ll hurt their economy.

Love that Canada is sticking to their guns canceling vacation, stopped buying America. Fl already hurting as good chance that 15,000 will be layoffs. I truly sad for all the layoffs because economist warned Americans if you vote for DJT he goes with his & MUSK LOV FEST WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. ITS HAPPENING A DEEP RECESSION THAT THEY PREDICTED IS COMING.

I call all DJT supporters uneducated idiots as well as Corporate greed from those that bent over to get screwed by him. I don’t give rats ass about but Working class are going to pay as well younger adults

As Jim Acosta stated today Bannon and Musk Nazi salute & Extreme right wing evils here in US that are liking Proud Boys ext could influence are young and that scares me just like Jim Acosta said there’s no place in America for Nazi. We cannot allow that to happen for the sake of our youth. I hope Parents are talking to Grandkids, kids school are watch for the hate these idiots have in their evil hearts

Proud boys and other are going into hotels, conferences trying to entice anger from the attendees they went in over the weekend with cameras on them trying instigate fights because now they’re getting into the habit of suing. Wondering who gave them that idea of suing & wearing all of paraphernalia. they try to sell on their website. Michael Fadone said they had bomb threats list his 76yr old mother address on the email about bomb being in her mail box.

Like damn bad movie. I am point hoping something happens to an evil president. It’s like all good people disappeared only evil is left.

waiting isn’t an option. Trump, Musk, and their enablers are already consolidating power, and the longer we delay, the harder it will be to stop them. Organizing has to start now, before elections, before policies become permanent. This isn’t just about one leader; it’s about an entire movement that thrives on fear, division, and unchecked power. If we don’t push back relentlessly, they’ll keep tightening their grip. The working class, young people, and democracy itself will pay the price. This is the moment to fight back—loudly, strategically, and without hesitation

I find delving into Star Trek very therapeutic. They got through their rough and brutal 21st Century. I know you're a trekie Mary. We may too. Hopefully it won't come to WWIII.

Mary, you're an inspiration in the midst of this madness. I've been following US politics since 45 arrived on the scene. 45 1.0 was bad, but this 2.0 is downright scary. We, in Canada, are getting real about what to do. I had to cancel a speaking engagement in April in Las Vegas because I can't pretend to be nice and normalize what he is doing, which is dismantling your goverment and destroying your har-eon constitution. Please, please be safe.

Thanks! I have no clue how you have lived with this. We watched "The Apprentice" movie. WOW! Blown away.

Is it pretty accurate? It seems so, however, it is Hollywood. Roy Cohn. HOLY MONSTER.

Thank you for keeping us in your loop. How did you do it? HOW?

I'm doing what I did in my youth -- taking it to the streets. Although it took too long, it worked in the 60's. People are upset, and they are out there with me. We all must do whatever we can to stop this madness.

Use art, like paint post cards with a message, and send to someone that needs the message you’ve made. To friends, politicians etc.

I have a friend, mostly through bad choices in men, depends on Medicaid. The site was down! Nothing spells empathy and efficiency like a chainsaw wielding nerd from South Africa. I can’t get over my anger at the people foolish enough to vote for this.

Thanks for all you do and your insights. I see a continuing traumatic stress syndrome that the world has been under for some time and is obviously exacerbated with Trump. Together with a major cult, we are experiencing a mass public mental health crisis.
