As a disabled woman who went to the dr on the same day, this one hit hard.

I’ll be watching a Rob Reiner movie rather than the Psycho President tonight.

5) For someone who spent most of her days being somewhat of a recluse, I am actively involved and quite busy!🀣

Since then, we have a local Indivisible group (I am VP), have sponsored many local protests, food drives and public awareness. Every time I meet more people and our group is growing! Not only do I feel I’m doing my part resisting the Trump Administration, I feel a sense of community.

3) In late February, I made a social media post and rec’d a response β€œhave you thought about having a town hall without Bergman”? I hadn’t. This man (Bob Cook) was a complete stranger from Chicago with media/communications experience & offered to help in any way he could.

2)A little background on me. I am 71 years old and in a wheelchair (MS). Escanaba & the UP is predominantly red. I moved to Escanaba in 1999 but knew very few people, especially like-minded people. I was involved with successfully recalling 3 County Commissioners and started meeting others.

I live in Escanaba, MI (UP) and was one of the first to have an Empty Chair town hall for Rep Jack Bergman (who’s had a grand total of 2 town halls, 2017). The town hall was held 3/6/25 and there were approx 160 in attendance. Rachel Maddow even picked it up!

I will never get sick of Gavin Newsom trolling Donald Trump.

WTF is wrong with you?!? It absolutely WAS working - or can’t you remember 6 days ago when Dems shellacked ALL elected positions? Or the 7 million who protested? You screwed over the American people - and your son.

Your mother just ruined your chances. Your mother and 6 other Dems are the reasons I will not contribute to the Dem party anymore.

Seriously, under your leadership, Dems CAVED?!? After 40 days and the GOP being blamed? After 7 million people protested for No Kings? After the elections Tuesday?!? WTF is wrong with you?

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
