Dr. Eddie,

“A father said to his son: Be careful where you walk. The son responded: You be careful, I walk in your footsteps!” We are mirrors for our children. It’s time to make a move, and I’m ready!

Dr. Glaude, can you work with all of your host guests to help those of us who want to run for office, but don’t have political experience? My US Rep is beatable with this budget bill and the tariffs, but he never gets a serious challenge from Democratic candidate. Knoxville has a Dem mayor and voted for Kamala last November. Everybody tells us on their podcast to run, but we need help to get started. We are the fighters who the Democratic party needs, but the establishment and those holding on to grow their wealth and ego will not do the right thing!

i always thought the american budget was a thing that could cause americans problems....i still remember the american government slapping themselfs on the back for the defeat of the soviet union...but remember the soviet union fell, because they were so worried about keeping up with america in the arms race, that they forget to manage the people, advancement, luxuries , benefits, and finally food was effected, as all the resources of the soviet union were being plowed into arms rather than helping the people..as a result the people ceased to beleive in the soviet union as life got harder and harder every generation. [i see american making the same mistake].This american budget also reflect that people dont learn from history...rewarding the rich, taking from the poor, tarriffs on goods, expanding the miltary budget, corrupt boeing dealing, failure of the social state, lack of heathcare...is all leading to one place, a diseffected or angry people, resentful of the government....such resentment might turn to hate..and if it does, its one set away from revolution...and that sorta stuff gets bloody especially with a leader like trump at the fore.......its a very real fear that trump will overturn the table, when things are pushed beyong breaking points.

As for the courts, they are blocking everything this week, the alien act, stopping the education breakup, [just today]blocking the attack on harvard.....if things are continued to block for trump and knowing the sort of bull in china shop person he is, he will be looking to bypass or ignore their finding and plowing on and will expecting solution to that from his underlinings..soon thou, the only option left on the table, will be ignoring and sideling the court....if he takes that final step across the rubicon..then america has totally lost the democracy standing it so long fought for, and we will see the mettle of the americans of this age? are they willing to stand for a new american with new values? or will they capitulate and let someone else take the problems whilst they drop their heads down and swallow what is left of their pride....we shall see...sadly :(

But american officals be warned, if the people have to step up and save america from your ill governance ,with blood being spilled, they will have to see that the struggle was worth it...they will want a better america to be made, one with better laws ,rights and even heathcare...such was the price the british people demanded[and got]after they sacrificed their own in the second world war , the american people after their own sacrifice will except no less .

I felt the pull to rewatch the horrors of Amistad and Roots. I needed to feel stronger and recognize that our ancestors were remarkable. They are with us always. 🤎

talking about imaginative ways at mass action, has anybody been thinking about somesort of protest that ruins trumps parade? that might be worth a thought...i had been thinking of joining a protest for gaza in london next month, i have heathcare responsibilities for my brother[he is disabled]..but i might just get a temporary carer[family member] to help him ,just to march next month...i think everybody has to do their part in these, days, ....my grandfathers both fought in their own ways in the second world war, when the world was in struggle, one was in the factories making tanks[reserved occupation] and the other as naval gunner on convoy ships....its time perhaps for the new generations to do their part...[saying that i am not young, but these old bones can still do at least one more protest march]i think each needs to do its part,just for my own sake, to say i stood for what i believed in,when it was needed , as perhaps nelson once said "England expects that every man will do his duty" ,its time for others to step up and fight[in their own way]for what they wish the new world to be

Can 'we the people' sue #47, musk-miller, & Project2025 creators for this disaster we're in? They're causing mental distress, financial losses, & the basic loss of our Constitutional rights as citizens! Impeach #47, his Administration, & expel all MAGA-J6 traitors!

These people have no morality. Attempting to speak to it is an exercise in futility. You’re the only one I hear willing to call it what it is.
