A group of us are heading to Lynchburg to ask why our Representative John McGuire refuses to hold a town hall or open a local office regardless of the fact he’s been given taxpayer $$ to do so. Why there’s only one phone number (DC) to reach staff and why they’ve been told to hold the line and refuse to schedule a town hall or constituent meetings. We hear he’s left his Lynchburg office for a new location - why is staff refusing to share the address? And after all this Mr McGuire has time to visit the border for a photo op? We’re exhausted but not giving in! Thanks Robbin.

Standing on the picket line at our local Tesla dealer on Saturday, with folks cheering, cars driving by honking and hundreds of people waving homemade signs of resistance; I was spontaneously moved to tears. It was the community of resistance I felt. The heartfelt growing of solidarity.

Good for those badass gals in France. I am visiting Greece in May; I am seriously considering ordering a button that reads, I didn't vote for him. He's vile.

I would if I were you. USers are no ones favorite at the moment. Do point out that we are not all MAGGOPs

Teslatakedown.com is one of the best ways to fight back now, fun and cathartic. It is having effect also!

I am a US citizen and I have lived overseas. And at times I have disagreed with US policies. But this is the first time l've been ashamed of my nationality.

Thank you, Robbin! Your personal comments at the end are at least as powerful as the video.

I’m trying to share this on FB on my personal page and FB won’t let me. Not even in a comment.

Hi Laurie, We constantly have problems with Facebook. We have tried everything to fix the problem and nothing seems to work.

Here's a work around: Cut and paste this short article into FB and used the link to the original instagram post of the video https://www.instagram.com/brutofficiel/reel/DG8VZTysPj7/

We would if we could. Substack doesn't seem to provide publications the ability to customize share options. If you know a work-around, please let us know.
