- Silver Resistance is a Facebook group designed to encourage and engage older people and allies who may feel as if they don’t have enough energy, agility, or time to jump into politics fully at this time. Let’s check out Silver Resistance and join in: www.facebook.com/groups/13034...
- We’ve been here before. The difference is that in 1974 the Republicans showed integrity and chose the Constitution over the man. We could sure use some of them now.
- If you live in Michigan and have experienced any unusual disruption in your Social Security services or you have been prevented from accessing your earned benefits, our AG, Dana Nessel, encourages you to use this form and let her know. forms.office.com/pages/respon...
- There are only about 300,000 people in Michigan's upper peninsula which covers about 16,000 square miles,, but five cities turned out today with many more participants than anticipated! This photo is from Ironwood, MI.
- In preparation for Saturday’s nation-wide Hands Off rallies around the country, Move-On is sponsoring online de-escalation training on Wednesday, April 2 at 8pm EDT. We can learn how to stay safe. Let’s sign up here: www.mobilize.us/moveon/event...
- Let’s take in these lessons from the book “Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century” by Timothy Snyder, an expert on authoritarianism.
- My little town in Michigan’s upper peninsula has the distinction of having the oldest continuously operated Carnegie Library in Michigan. It is an incredibly special place. Here’s what our local library director had to say about cuts. (no services to blind either) www.facebook.com/share/p/1ABV...
- Government is supposed to work for everyone. Why should our taxes go up and programs we rely on be messed with? For billionaires?? I don't think so. Contact your folks in Washington: democracy.io#!/
- A friend of mine who will soon be graduating from college is working on a senior capstone project and could use our help in completing this quick survey: forms.gle/Y2CQ6ApMFNGK... Thank you!
- So many of us rely on on this to live, elderly and disabled. Do what you can to help it survive. This affects all of us and those we love.
- The promised chaos, cruelty, and suffering is heartbreaking. For folks who want to know what they can do help, please consider subscribing to Rogan's List, which is recommended by Heather Cox Richardson: susanrogan.substack.com
- an someone please help me understand why a tax cut for the wealthy takes priority over helping the least well-off amongst us?

- "The former Social Security Administration (SSA) commissioner has said that benefits could be interrupted due to Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) audit." So many of us live on this each month. We cannot afford to go without, nor should we. Where's the justification?
- 1. Google Gulf of Mexico. 2. Click on the three little dots to the right of “Gulf of America”. 3. Select "Send Feedback" 4. Click on "Gulf Of America" text. 5. Select "Inaccurate content". 6. Select "Incorrect" and type in : "The correct name of this body of water is “Gulf of Mexico".
- “The ongoing actions by Musk and his followers are a coup because the individuals seizing power have no right to it. Elon Musk was elected to no office and there is no office that would give him the authority to do what he is doing. It is all illegal.”
- UPDATE: It seems that this is not a new change. I still don't understand it. leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...
- Real life consequences of these funding freezes/cuts. A domestic violence center in MI gets 75% of its funding from federal grants. They would have to close if this funding is lost, leaving survivors without potentially life-saving services. Contact your legislators to keep funding going!
- Perhaps I was too polite in my last post. This is what I meant to say: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B6g...
- Musk now has access to all government data, payment, and communication systems. He halted funding allocated by Congress, impacting Lutheran Social Services and USAID. He’s not done yet. This unprecedented data breach also grants him access to OUR banking and Social Security info, too. It is illegal
- Do we really want Elon Musk to have access to the Social Security and Medicate payment process, as well as federal salaries, government contract payments and tax refunds? Raise your hands if you think he has your best interest at heart.
- This new EO is aimed at schools. Lord, help us all. www.instagram.com/reel/DFb2118...
- They were seeing just what they could get away with. They will try again another way. www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...
- They promised chaos, cruelty, and suffering and they are delivering. Who votes for someone who stops funding for WIC, Head Start, Medicaid, domestic violence centers, Meals on Wheels, the school lunch program, etc.? Time to contact our legislators and weigh in.
- I remember learning this song as a child in school in a setting similar to this. Let's keep these words close to our hearts in the midst of what is happening in our country today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrE3...
- Some solid advice we'd all be smart to follow. (I wish I could share this without his picture.)
- Help keep others healthy!
- I encourage all my political friends to unfollow me and follow the Rogan's List Bluesky account where the political feed will be instead: @roganslist.bsky.social
- Let's check out Braver Angels: braverangels.org We all have a responsibility to help depolarize our country.
