Monday August 4 through Sunday August 10, 2025. I was on vacation and I used the time to rest. I took my cue from Jessica Craven, a super activist who did the same thing last week. We need down time to be here for the long haul.

Monday August 11, 2025 dissent day 204: I left messages for senators vehemently opposing the Republican regime’s deploying the National Guard for “law enforcement“ when violent crime in DC is at a 30 year low. This is massive overreach, deeply undemocratic and likely illegal.

Sunday August 3, 2025 dissent day 196: I faxed letters to senators and congressman urging them to investigate the case of Dr. Erika McEntarfer at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Republican regime fired her for releasing a negative jobs report.

Friday August 1, 2025 dissent day 194: I emailed Senator Padilla and thanked him for supporting the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. The Supreme Court gutted the original voting rights act in 2013. Republicans are now purging voter rolls and redrawing districts so only they can win.

Thursday July 31, 2025 dissent day 193: I participated in a strategic planning meeting for a nonprofit arts foundation. They sponsor marginalized minority and LGBTQ artists and services for immigrant communities. Art is powerful. That’s why they try to ban it.

Tuesday July 29, 2025 dissent day 191: I read the first chapter of “On Tyrrany.” Do not obey in advance. Authoritarian regimes rely on good citizens changing their speech and behavior to conform to what the regime wants without being told. Don’t surrender your soul without a fight.

Saturday July 26, 2025 dissent day 188: I faxed letters to Senator Padilla and Senator Schiff urging them to vote no on confirming Emil Bove to a lifetime appointment as a federal judge. 75 former judges have opposed his nomination for “abusing power and disregarding the law itself.”

July 25, 2025 dissent day 187: I bought a copy of “On Tyrrany.” It’s a guide for surviving and resisting fascism while keeping your sanity and your soul. It’s a surprisingly small book.

Dissent day 180: I told Paramount that I was extremely disappointed that they canceled Stephen Colbert right after he criticized them for caving to the rogue madman in the White House. Trump will be gone someday but the memory of their cowardice will linger like a bad odor.

Dissent day 172: I wrote to senators and congressman urging them to strongly support a law requiring ICE agents to show their faces and IDs while doing their jobs. Masked ICE agents have become the secret police: anonymous and unaccountable. This is outrageous and needs to stop NOW.
