From a Canadian : thank you Marianne for seeing and exposing the poison that is infecting your country! I have always loved America and Americas , great country , great people , great potential! However, the potential is being squandered by a moron. It breaks my heart to see this idiot, burning your country to the ground! You folks have a tough tough job ahead of you and I certainly wish you well and I pray for your success!!!
Thank you! AND what do we do for Texas and These United States? I have been engaged on many levels for years and I am still protesting, calling my elected officials, marching and showing up at home for my family. Really Marianne, it’s a genuine question. What more can we do right now? ❤️
Meg-I’ve been asking the same thing and I am in Texas.
Beto is hoping that other Democratic governors will be proactive and gerrymander their states if that’s what’s going to happen in Texas. So we would need to support those governors. Probably financially do a degree but definitely loudly
We also need to support our Texas legislators— they may say you walk out but… honestly I hope that’s what they do. We need to push back, but it could lead to more. Texas is truly on the front line right now. We are the Canary in the coal mine. If this fails, we are really going to have to do something drastic.
I suggest you keep watching Beto, and James Talerico. Also Jasmine Crockett has a lot of beauty bars right now. The Internet is great because there’s so much information but sometimes getting the right information is difficult.
I’m so grateful to @MarianneWilliamson she’d understand how truly important and what happens in Texas is
Gerrymandering CANNOT be the solution. That will only lead to more corruption. We need non-partisan/ bi-partisan committees that draw district lines. And maybe legislation that somehow limits how many lines and corners they can put into district boundaries! Or some kind of ratio that would prevent creation of absurd districts that are mainly a big clump in a red area with a skinny long finger that grabs a bunch of voters in a blue area... There have to be computer models / mathematical algorithms that can do this already.
We do need to fight back. But we need to do it in a sustainable manner so it doesn't backfire in five, ten, or twenty years.
What is difficult for me is to not get overwhelmed, to maintain my divine integrity and see all souls as children of the same Creator; and right now? HA! it's a constant bloody struggle... I know, as Rumi shared, there is a field beyond right and wrong and I will meet you there. BUT/AND/YET when one is in the midst of a shitshowstorm of dung one cannot say-oh gee, rosebuds... So. Making sure we CONNECT!! is for me #1 priority. The current gov't is about separation... and we must NOT let them separate US from their governing. xoox <3 !!
Thanks Marianne, I look forward to seeing your interview with Beto O'Rourke later today. I'm looking forward to hearing concrete action-oriented ideas.
I just love listening to you. You've had decades of preparation for being so good at making sense for everyone. The "problem" with this logic, though, is that there is no we-the-people. For us, it's gadflies all the way down. There’s something okay about that as an evolutionary process, where the force of the good pushes us forward -- no more slaves, women's suffrage, etc. But now we are faced with something brand new, where a dictatorial energy is so strong that it has thrown us for a big enough loop that humanity may regress to the Stone Age before that natural evolutionary process gets us back on track.
As you have said you'd need to be drafted, can I get us to draft you to create a coalition of us, so we become an actual force to influence policy? As the only person who is a voice for the spiritual as well as the political, you are the ideal person to give substance to the principle of the Beloved Community. Get more sign-ups than the Democrats and Republicans combined.
I take issue with your suggesting people need to not be complacent. We've gone past that. More people than not are mad as hell but don’t know what to do. Give us a platform!!!
I think we need to take things one at a time. Right now, helping to fight off the steal of those Congressional seats in Texas IS A BIG DEAL. Did you listen yet to the Beto interview?
Yes to everything Beto is doing and to who he is. And your energies are good together. He's reflecting what I see in the bigger picture, where MAGA is here to wake everyone up, so people come out of a passivity they were in for America to become the democracy that's our ideal. We'd gone so far off that path that look what it's taking to get us back on it!
That said, getting behind what Beto said isn't mutually exclusive to a system change for humanity. I've been working with the coalition idea since way back when I was rabble rousing with Lex Hixon (see my recent post: https://suzannetaylor.substack.com/p/something-is-stirring-in-the-land).
And there's no time just to wait for midterms, with the danger that nature had us in before Trump having gotten worse, as all constraints to give us any help have been lifted. What was coming at us fast is now at warp speed!
It seems like a hard to reach place when things aren’t happening outside of our little bubble here in San Francisco. I can’t see sending money to places outside of our districts, and I have for so many years. I left the Democratic Party back in 2015 when the DNC and the Media wouldn’t give Bernie the time of day but would let Donald Trump spew for five times more airtime than anyone else. The whole political machine has left me at a loss of how to best serve our country without sending out my hard earned dollars. Your campaign was the last time that I invested in a political movement that I felt deserved it. But to be honest with you I prefer to stick with my Spiritual inclinations and just keep trying to share that light from within and hoping that it will stick wherever it lands!
If you were going to send money now, send it to Texas Democrats. We are really trying to hold the front line here in Texas against what Greg Abbott and Trump are doing together as this frightening fascist duo.
They’re trying to take five extra seats with gerrymandering. Our legislators might stay to walk out and put that could be quite dangerous.
Beto and others are calling for other United States governors to start gerrymandering their own states against MAGA in supportive what’s happening in Texas. I’m glad you’re here and that you care! In San Francisco Francisco comes from a long line of political warriors and we need your help desperately. !!
I understand the concept that responsibility is holding yourself accountable for the matter. Yes, we absconded, slipped out the back, Jack, when it comes to being responsible for our Republic. However, what would make a critical difference is having leadership that can articulate the future of a democracy where people operate beyond resignation, indifference, and hopelessness.
Wayne Kerr is spot on. The last best hope of earth. Not the time to look away but to stare Trump in his eyes - bet he can’t meet our eyes by the way. I’m no rocket scientist but I do know that for a fact. Quote unquote.
Thank God for your attention on this. It’s vital and very pivotal politicking - like using politics as a game of chess ( maybe not chess - does Donald know how to play chess after all?) so why is strategising wrong here? It’s unethical - it’s wrong, it’s typical of Donald. There is no humanity here. Politics either benefits or hurts people . This will hurt human beings. Scary stuff.
question- what would you have us do more than we are doing? YOU are in a hot-seat political power position and most of us are folk trying to keep integrity in our household let alone our freakin' nation. Give us VERY REAL SPECIFIC instructions. I mean... WTF? other than sign petitions and donate $$ which I've done til l've turned RED in a a rage and want to turn on everyone-- wtf? IDEAS? Organizations? other than Indivisible, Million Rising and all the Dems??? WHAT? give us instructions.
Think for yourself. Get educated. Follow your gut. Stop looking outwards for guidance, look within for your purpose here. And please do not get angry at someone who is committed to helping YOU.
I have loved you forever! I lived in Los Angeles in the late 80's to early 90's. moved from Los Angeles after riots and earthquakes, moved on to Phoenix. Had cancer in Los Angeles, and you added comfort and input! So I must ask know, I am a great customer service representative, listen an apply, achieve! I am 63, total intuitive, sensitive and strong, any chance any customer service jobs within your organization? I am a Aquarian IN 5 major PLANETS IN CHART, mover and shaker. May not be the Platform, but have to ask, Thank you for all you do! Vikki, can send resume upon request! awakethespirit@gmail.com

Thank you, Elizabeth, with all sincerity!
Thank you, Laura. Those are my true feelings!
Thank you! AND what do we do for Texas and These United States? I have been engaged on many levels for years and I am still protesting, calling my elected officials, marching and showing up at home for my family. Really Marianne, it’s a genuine question. What more can we do right now? ❤️
I'm posting an interview with Beto O'Rourke later in the day and he has ideas...
Looking forward to that!
Me too… indivisible organizes peaceful protests too… Together we can and will make a difference!❤️☮️🕉️🙏🏼❤️

First of all, thank you. And I don't think the Beto organization is only about money. I hope you listen to his interview.
Those spiritual inclinations are not nothing. All of it is expanding space for the possiblitiy of miracles.
If you were going to send money now, send it to Texas Democrats. We are really trying to hold the front line here in Texas against what Greg Abbott and Trump are doing together as this frightening fascist duo.
They’re trying to take five extra seats with gerrymandering. Our legislators might stay to walk out and put that could be quite dangerous.
Beto and others are calling for other United States governors to start gerrymandering their own states against MAGA in supportive what’s happening in Texas. I’m glad you’re here and that you care!

However, what would make a critical difference is having leadership that can articulate the future of a democracy where people operate beyond resignation, indifference, and hopelessness.
Whew. That ain’t just gerrymandering—it’s a hostile takeover in cowboy boots.
“I want five more seats”? Hell no, we want a functioning democracy.
You can’t just redraw the lines every time the truth don’t vote your way.
Grateful you’re keepin’ the fire lit, especially with Beto stepping up.
We don’t need five more seats—we need five million more fed-up folks who ain’t gonna let fascism be the final word in Texas.
Keep talkin’. Keep watchin’. Keep showin’ up.
This ain’t over. Not by a long shot.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
