Don’t be fooled by talk of “safety.” Trump’s Antifa Roundtable is cover to stop the No Kings March. It’s how every crackdown starts: invent an enemy, then outlaw resistance.

Hi Diana!
Just go to the three lines (More) at bottom left of substack page, go to settings, then scroll down to notifications and start turning them off. You'll have to manually check for new posts on substack, or set notis up for Tom here on Bluesky to get to his or Che's writings.

Religions are not made the same. Christian nationalism is a white supremest cult. The KKK were that. Hate and take away rights are their primary goal. We have too many GOP who are in it. ICE are that. Killing innocent people are that. Follow and speak up.

Thank You…and your son.
He’s got a such memorable lyrical voice, so much texture and distinct tone.

Lawyers are busy trying to stop 47’s attempt to control the blue cities. Little NAZI Miller lies about hand to hand combat in Portland. Oregon is a varied state. Blue cities, red counties. Like most of the nation. Follow and resist, say something.

Once again thank you so much for your support.

Supporting independent media ensures diverse voices are heard and truth isn’t shaped by corporate interests.

Thank you for sharing, Tom and Che Ivan.

In noticing, in observing, in choosing to embrace gratitude rather than regret or cynicism, Che's reflections give me hope for his generation's ability to strive and thrive amidst the obstacles pressing upon them from all angles.

My son wrote his first piece,a quiet, beautiful reflection on fatherhood, politics, and finding meaning in the everyday. I didn’t expect it to hit me this hard. Proud to share his voice with you.
