There are many of us that see what's happening with the GOP and right-wing media, and refuse to let them subvert our genuine belief in fairness and acting in good faith to carry out this massive program of psychological warfare deployed to keep us from resisting their authoritarian regime.

We stand with you, Andrew, and with all true patriots.

We so desperately need YOUR First Amendment right, in full effect!! You, along with Neil have been a source of sanity for me (and others) for the past several years. You two are American treasure. 🙏💯

I listened to this while sitting in Saigon. After listening to our tour guide tell us how the south Vietnamese government watches over what EVERYONE does via cameras and mandatory tracking apps on their phones, I certainly hope we are not headed here!

What a chilling analogy Kathleen. If only more of us had such moments as these, all would become clearer at home!

Worse, we later visited one of the 400 killing fields in Cambodia where all of the teachers, scientists, doctors, educated people were tortured and killed by hand by Polpot during the Khmer Rouge era in the 70s. 2.5 million people, 1/3 of the Cambodian people killed by their own leader. It was so frightening when we watched what was going on in the US. Trump would not hesitate to replicate this I believe.

He is such a petty, pathetic, blustering little bully boy. Even amidst all this chaos and pain he is causing, it is laughable. And like with all schoolyard bullies: we must never back down or give an inch.

We don’t have a king. We don’t have a dictator. We have a moron.

Does the government notify you your security clearance has been revoked or do they assume you’ll read about it? Trump is a petty little man!

So grateful that you’re using your voice.

Stupidity reigns supreme at the White House

Definitely confirms that Trump doesn’t care about the welfare of our country— he wants complete control— Blinken is a vast resource and he could keep him as a consultant at the very least. The world is in so much trouble with our home grown Hitler and his compadres.

Maybe I’m naive, but if you haven’t been notified personally in writing, I can’t imagine that it’s legit. The current occupant of the White House making these statements to the New York Post, which many don’t view as a bastion of accurate information, doesn’t make it true. We’re all here for you and are grateful for all you do to help us keep our sanity through these challenging times.

Let’s remember he is a felon with 34 counts and he simply cannot stand people like Blinken and you. Take care

It seems clear that Trump Musk and their army of followers and those signing loyalty oaths are all in for breaking all the laws and watching our country and its people suffer and crumble. The courts take time; our democracy is breaking faster than the courts can move. Besides, court rulings won’t stop them now. So, this is how it happened in Germany. Just like now, too many people waited and watched following orders, trying to save their careers and themselves short term as millions vanished, or were punished. We are clearly in a coup and we clearly have a dictatorship gaining momentum every hour of every day. It seems nothing can stop this tsunami.

I stand with you, Andrew. As you have noted on several occasions, you have done nothing wrong. On the contrary. You remain a beacon of truth and integrity during these challenging times. Courage - for us all!

Can you go into a post office? Might be a good test case. Go see your Congressional representatives? Argue a case in a federal court?
