Keep going, Andra. What you do -- what each of us does with what we have -- matters. We are not giving in.
“A society that lives by organized greed or by systemic terrorism … will always tend to be violent because it is in a state of persistent disorder and moral confusion. The first principle of valid political action in such a society then becomes non-cooperation with its disorder, its injustices, and more particularly with its deep commitment to untruth." - Gandhi
I am still in Chicago purging 50+ years of stuff from our home that somehow accumulated here. I am also going through my mom's things as well. There are a lot of memories, but they seem distant. I am definitely in the here and now. We are waiting to see whether Trump will be sending troops to Chicago now that the courts have said doing so in LA was illegal and it applies to other cities too. Can we say Posse Comitatus Act! Our city and state is making clear that sending anyone here ignores our no, so like a rape, and is not lawful.
Trump has been looking bad in the pics and videos I have seen. I cannot help but wonder whether Putin poisoned him, preferring to be dealing with immature, insecure suck up JDV than Trump. I could see Putin slipping Trump a poison that would go through his skin in the car in the infamous ride to their talks.
Anyway, I find the community you are creating here in Substack quite important.
I hope the sorting and packing continues to go well. And I hope the feds stay out of Chicago.
I can’t watch the current show, but I try to never watch this crowd generally. Moving things from blue to red states is going to be another weapon (tho Co Springs is pretty conservative. I can’t imagine being told I had to go to Huntsville AL from there.)
The troops were supposed ot come today, now it is Friday.
Someone was talking about you on Dean Blundell and Zev Shalev's Podcast in the comments section. They were recommending purchasing a subscription to follow what was going on with Project 2025.
Have you caught any videos by Monte Mader yet? She comes up in my FB scroll. Also raised in Christian Nationalism, got herself out, educates others. She is minimally on Substack; her videos are her strength. The two of you together could move mountains!
This summary of your schedule was so helpful. I know it should have been obvious but for some reason just having it all summarized like this truly gave me the whole picture and I really appreciate it.
I don't like to devote newsletters to promoting a schedule, but it is necessary once or twice a month. I try to put scheduled things at the beginning of messages, but I've found people are wont to scroll past those messages.
Andra, your work is valuable. And thank you for posting the recordings of your live chats. This gives me the opportunity to see and listen that I am not able to do in the live settings.

Good luck with your meeting Andra. Sending you good mojo.
I'm sure it will be fine, but one never knows these days. Thank you.

It’s always nice to hear my work being mentioned. I admire both of them.

I haven’t seen any of her videos, but I am always looking for ways to collaborate. Thanks for mentioning her.

Is there a link to listen to today's discussion? If so I can't find it.
