How can't you invite Latinx journalists to this talk? They should be there. Our Latinx sisters and brothers are being ignored by mainstream media, and now by Zeteo? Latinos are the main target of ICE. C'mon guys, pónganse las pilas.

Election Subversion Has Consequences

It is now becoming clear that the current Nazi regime defrauded the American people with a "supposedly free and fair" election There are now 3 credible sources that point to a legitimate Harris win had it not been for corruption of the vote in 2024

And Americans knew that the election had been "cooked" but we needed objective evidence and we now have it The Nazi party and Cheeto defrauded the American electorate and America is pissed

So when one says "wow this protest thing is really taking off" just understand that the American electorate consciously or unconsciously feel that they have been ripped off by the the Nazis and want to send a clear signal in the form of mass protest that America is not the land of wannabe dictators

Protest Protest Protest This is a grass roots movement of resistance

But are you addressing the immigration attack on Latinos? I have not heard you addressing it at all.

Glad you are doing live events. I am in Chicago so cannot attend this, and after next Thursday I will be back in Europe for most of the summer where I have organized my own actions in the city I live in to bring together people around protest and the arts, and hopefully sign up more Americans who live abroad to vote.

As for foreign students, I am still recommending finding another country to study in while Trump is president. https://lindaweide.substack.com/p/foreign-students-at-a-us-university?r=f0qfn

Mehdi: I suggest staying in Washington, DC and holding a Zoom meeting instead; although most if not all of us would prefer to see you in person. Benefits:

•You, your guests & attendees would save the travel expense;

•Seniors on SS whose monthly checks are threatened by DOGE and those with low income would have access to the info you intend to share; knowledge is power—we need to empower not only those with money, but also those w/o if we are to successfully Resist & take our democracy back;

•I suggests waiving paywalls until the 2026 elections, quarterly seeking donations;

•We’re in the midst of a human-caused climate crisis that MAGA and some Dems deny, or just fail to take seriously, exacerbating said crisis by not joining & promoting in a collective effort to reduce our carbon footprint. Wildfires were a common, natural occurrence about every 35 years, now it’s all too frequent and inordinately more catastrophic. Need I remind us of the Altadena & Pacific Palisades wildfires that destroyed those entire communities? Or of the one in Maui, Hawai’i, that burned an entire Indigenous community? Space doesn’t allow me to remind my progressive brothers/sisters of the also human-caused Sixth Mass Extinction, part of the similarly caused Anthropocene Era. Disregarding Nature/Earth has consequences. With little effort we can help mitigate the crisis & hopefully avoid the anticipate ecological collapse;

•Some have suggested Resisting the coup by staying home & buying nothing

but essentials—not just boycotting Teslas;

•I’m disappointed that Zeteo is seldom if ever announcing the NO KINGS Protests on Flag Day, nationwide at over 1900 venues, excluding purposefully Washington, D.C., to avoid and detract from the military $45m spectacle on the wannabe dictator’s b-day, Sat June 14th.

•Visit nokings.org and/or contact Indivisible. I’m pleased that Amy Goodman’s DemocracyNow! interviewed one of Indivisible’s founders today, 6/11. Check it out at democracyNow.org.

Progressive radio host, Thom Hartmann, has been urging ALL to join, as well; just to mention a couple b/c of space. The L.A. Times reported the anticipated No Kings Day Protests in today’s issue.

•In the spirit of solidarity we must spread the word of the Resistance. The No Kings 14th protests must be larger than the successful Hands Off! April 5th protests. It will be, if we all peacefully join and bring others w/ us, and as said, spread the word at every opportunity. We need/must

pull together, now more than ever.
