My parents left Czechoslovakia after the war when the communists took over the government. The stories they told me and my brother were just what is happening now - when will people learn!

Miller appears to be a descendant of Joseph Goebbels. Check out the resemblance.

Profoundly disturbing and horrific! We have to protest against this crime and stand up for our country!

My parents took us to Great Britain during the McCarthy Era. We stayed there almost a year until we got the all-clear that it was safe to return to the US.

If you're still in doubt that some people saw this coming a long time ago, just watch Stephen King's movie The Dead Zone

This is the country 69 000 Afrikaners want to ‘escape’ to. The US in 2025 reminds me of my country in 1985, repressed under a State of Emergency that turned it into a police state, except the US is worse. Much worse. Americans have been inward-looking so long, they don’t know what a real democracy looks like.

It's happened to me, too, during the past couple days on several Substacks I subscribe to. All I have to do is click the "sign in" and I'm suddenly back, after agreeing to the cookies I thought I had already agreed to ages ago. Substack gets glitchy now and then (at least I HOPE that's all it is).

Mine was in the upper right-hand corner (where my face usually is)—that's on a computer, don't know about a phone (if that's what you're using)...

Not to mention. The harrasment and lack of care leading to increased recovery time in a fashion I can find or afford is limiting common job opportunities, living situations, bills being paid.

Me freaking out for months from the anguish. Pain and Suffering in legal terms. Etc.

I am still pursuing representation. It has all those gory details of overriding Local, State, and Federal agencies in it.

I have some documentation. Dates to prove my location.

Here in Jamestown my current home town I haven't been able to receive equitable medical care until recently. Some things are improving. That does note release any medical system or government entity from the past slights.

I have been consistently denied representation. I feel this has much to do with the overriding and overwhelming injunctions by the Trump Administration.

This also has affected greatly by limiting my care, my PTSD treatment, and is seriously affecting my education and career aspirations.

Some of that was satire. However I experienced a long list of negligence and unfair treatment in heavily Republican/MAGA areas.

Including being left to almost die of heat stroke in Des Moines Iowa just prior to the Republican Caucuses. Also many homeless people were pushed out of Des Moines. I am sure some were arrested. I am also sure some were given free bus passes all over the country. Including some very unsavory characters. Some which ended up on YouTube in police confrontations. Some that had appropriately confronted by police as far away as Florida.

Everybody has a role in the resistance.

Citizens must protest.

ALL 220 GOP Representatives in Congress need to grow spines (hey, its aspirational that all will).

Members of SCOTUS need to remain objective - stop interjecting personal ideologies into rulings.

Elected State and local officials need to consistently act like Newark Mayor Ras Baraka in order to protect citizens.
