To take it to the next level. We need to learn to love in ways and to people we previously hadn't learned how to. Channel our love into creative thoughts, words, actions. Remove the cobwebs of separation thinking and replace them with bright new unitive thinking. Creating a better world starts with creating better people. And the one better person we get to practice on, is ourselves.

It’s time to speak in the republican language to get them to understand our meaning and power. Time to boycott Target and Walmart and Amazon. Buy locally whenever possible. Yes, that might be less convenient but our message needs to be conveyed so they can understand it. Also there’s an app called ‘Goods Unite Us’ which is easy to use and tells you which businesses are maga or not.

After boycotting, what are these companies supposed to do to help you get your way?

What exactly is the No Kings movement trying to do?

I get you fear Trump. Biden was no better, just less transparent.

It’s the Uniparty that’s the problem and the Uniparty is delighted you are so angry at Trump.

Find ways to unite Americans. Be kind.

In what was was Biden no better, just less transparent?

I’m sad you have to ask. I respect you. What the DNC did to you, Bernie, Tulsi and especially, RFKJ, is unforgivable. Biden used Facebook and Twitter to censor, lawfare, misrepresent all of you. America would be in a very different position today.

Also, you know Biden is a Warhawk. He welcomed the Russia-Ukraine war. Sell arms, wreck havoc on Russia.

You’ve heard the complaints before.

I’m an Independent now. I try to do my ‘homework’. Republican and Democrat establishment are the problem.

Can you please tell me the purpose/benefits to the No Kings movement is? I’d like to understand the millions that gather. Seems like virtue signaling and that accomplishes nothing.

The Dems supported the genocide in Gaza and they are backed by the same billionaire class as the republicans and cater to the interests of corporations and the military. They've abandoned the working class and life for people of color has not improved when they've been in power. DSA - The Democratic Socialist of America is our future! If you haven't been following Zohran Mamdani's race for Mayor of New York City, please tune in!

DSA - The Democratic Socialist of America is our future! If you haven't been following Zohran Mamdani's race for Mayor of New York City, please tune in! It's crucial that we understand how Trump came into power. It was the dissatisfaction with the Democratic Party and desperation for something better.

I’m informed on NY politics via The Larry Sharpe Show. He is running for governor. A very fair, factual discussion of all things Mamdani, and other topics. You can have “free buses” without socialism. I’m not on board for government-run grocery stores. Or anything else, for that matter. We don’t need socialism, we need capitalism that’s not corrupted. Socialism gets corrupted, too.

Demonstrating peacefully at the rallies was just the start - and one way to voice our concerns. But we must do more. Be brave! Be active. Wherever you are and with whomever you're with. Transform this dysfunctional system with energetic love.

What if the massive turnout and the feel of solidarity and mutual support and caring were used to communicate to the congressional Repubs to, for the love of God, UNITE/Collaborate/Cooperate, like the news media did, and say "Enough"!!!! Either impeach or use the 25th Amendment to remove DT Now! Before the 2026 elections. They will have a better chance of retaining their jobs!!

Protests are fine. However, if 7 million people boycotted a highly recognized brand that supports Trump, and then protested (by stopping their spending), actively protested in front of its structures to encourage more people to join the boycott, it would send a powerful message. And the best part is that this can be designed and executed by AI, which means those at the top of the hierarchy would become complicit in helping this counterpunch. What would fast food do without two days of no customers?

At least 7 million people showed up for the October 18 No Kings demonstrations, at least 2 million more than the last one. Another report is that it was 8 million people all over the country, possibly counting protesters at US embassies in other countries. Trump's reaction was childish. We need a focused person with a sharp mind in that job, not a crazy, egotistical, vindictive moron. He is very sick and his reaction shows that to the whole world. Not removing him immediately is so irresponsible. Meanwhile Vance and Hegseth presided over the military firing live ammunition over Interstate 5 in Southern California. That went haywire, and had Gov. Newsom not closed that part of the freeway, people would have been harmed. Having to close it on a Saturday when it is normally very busy, caused backups and delays. That isn't how to honor the military, that was just some more muscle flexing and it made them look incompetent. Pay them instead, and give them a large bonus to celebrate their anniversary. Can't do that, though, because that would make sense and do some actual good.

Good journalistic skills Marianne. Thank you!

There are several ways that the citizens can make a difference now.

Nonconfidence, Request a New Election New Requirements

Conflict of Interest Using Meetings for Personal gain ie Golf Coutses Hotels

Taxes going to Isreal redirect to Health care

Tax corporations redirect to recovery for victims of climate change heat floods dam collapse fires etc.

New Guidelines for Protection and inclusion of Age limits for gaming for under 18 maybe a different platform

just suggestions

Hhmmmm…. Hacked? The link you provided for Trump‘s AI gaffs have been removed and the link directs you to hysteria in Portland. Live witness of ice agents bombarding protesters with tear gas. Very fishy. Thank you for your beautiful interviews.
