Shocker!

I don’t.

Yet another irresponsible distortion of the players on the field. No mention of the enemy as Iran-supported terrorism, massacre and threatening the safety and security of a free nation. And let’s not ignore lobbing weapons from children’s playgrounds and taking food from starving Palestinians. All the act of terrorists. The point is terror and handicapping a nation from protecting itself from barbarism and distorting the truth to make the defenders the attackers. Sound familiar? Yeah, the axis of evil’s tactics: Iran, Russia et al.

Thank you Michigan for being obsessed with anti-Israel hate pushing you to believe Trump’s lies, voting against Harris/Walz and accepting fascism into your lives. Let’s not distract from the fact that your community VOTED for Trump or against Harris/Walz. Too late to be ashamed and still can’t kick your hateful habit of picking and choosing pieces of the story to display.

The Arab community helped Trump happen along with so many others. You chose Trump knowing this was fascism because you took the bait and preferred your hatred of Israel over democracy. How soon you forgot Trump’s hateful Muslim ban and lost yo minds. Take responsibility first for this. Then be accurate in your unreal distortion of the Middle East. Amazing how so little is learned from the recent past.

Such incisive thoughts. It's up to We The People now, to spread the word, to be active. I can't believe that the repubs who voted for trump, wanted this.

America should join the International Criminal Court and encourage the prosecution of US politicians who commit war crimes.

What I really appreciate is that you give us an action to take in support of democracy and human rights. At a time when we are overwhelmed with bad news, your clear head and leadership is much appreciated.

Thank you for being one of the good lawyers standing up against injustice and fascism. I wish many of Trump's lawyers had been disbarred prior to the election, particularly Bove.

Trump is talking about genocide and colonization of a sovereign state. Though, US has the military power to do this, he will have to rope in Putin and Xi JinPing for support - Ukraine will be up for sacrifice, along with US western allies - not sure he will get China to support this insane idea - maybe Taiwan is also up for sacrifice.

The spiteful part of me says we should suggest all WSJ editorial staff be forcibly relocated after losing all of their possessions and property. If it's legal for one population, it's legal for another!

'Let’s be absolutely clear—this is not a “jobs program.” This is not “urban renewal.” This is ethnic cleansing. This is genocide' - you are so right

.... dear mainstream media "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet," the essence of something remains the same regardless of what you call it ... or deny it to be... it is genocide ... an age old practice of colonialists who seek to cleanse and conquer for their own gain.

One third of this country's population has no issue, at all, with harboring a hitleresque, dicktator (spelled in his dishonor) wannabe. We need more than just words now. We need action. Whatever it takes trump needs to be removed from office. Period!

Everyday it is getting worse. I have to try not to cry when I hear what is happening each day. I try to avoid what I can. Impeaching, unfortunately, will never work. The GOP didn't do it for Jan 6 so they are not going to do anything now. They go along with everything he wants now. There is only one solution. He should be tried for treason or someone needs to make a plan and get away with it, for the good of the world.

This is the direction we are going. So much is being done at once so that we are suffocating from the toxic effects of said actions. Again thank you for the scripts. I will screen shot these and send a letter as well. Read an article that republicans don’t take us seriously if it’s from move on or similar progressive movements because they have a script.

The WSJ is owned by Murdock who also owns Fox. We also need to pay attention to where you get your news! I have written to Kaine and my senators, Merkley and Wyden. Attending Wyden's town hall on Saturday. Also forwarding to friends. With atrocities happening with this new administration daily, we must continue to resist. Thank you for your articles!

Thank you for this article and once again for action items. Agreed with Ellen Barry on all she said. You have impact, you are seen and heard, and the info and action items you send empower such momentum for freedom, equality and democracy! No one can get bogged down with discouragement or indifference. Letter sent to Senator Kaine, also called him, and also called Senator Sanders and Senator Welch to thank them for supporting Kaine's S. Res. 68 legislation. Also called Congresswoman Becca Balint to ask her to support a House version of this when/if it comes around to the House.

Honored. Thank you, Jennifer.

This work is made possible by each of you, and nothing warms my heart more than by seeing readers then act upon the action items and get engaged locally and nationally.
