Resist & Rising Together Weekly shares uplifting stories of resistance, resilience, and real progress—highlighting weekly victories for democracy, justice, freedom, and equality.
Laurie, you used a phrase that really upsets me. Of course many people use this phrase. But it upsets me every time. And today you are the 'lucky' one that gets to receive my words against it. While referring to how ice agents treated protesters, you said they are being 'treated like animals'. I would hope that you are also against that kind of treatment being used against animals as well. Animals are feeling/sentient beings who many times have more care and concern for their families than humans do. To use this phrase without acknowledging the cruelty toward animals as well makes you out as uncaring toward our fellow creatures on this planet.
I appreciate you sharing that and have changed the wording to better reflect our values of treating all (and that includes animals) with dignity and respect. I too am learning and welcome input to help me do better.
Thank you to all Minnesotans Marching in sub zero weather protesting against ICE. Stay strong we are with you.
I was watching Lincoln Square podcast today and was wondering if any Minnesotan can please ask WALZ, Klobashar, Frey, Elison to please have the National Guard of Minneapolis to be deployed and to ARREST the ICE agents! Have the National Guard surround Ice Agents peacefully on their daily hunts. Arrest Ice agents for speeding, trespassing, driving recklessly, jaywalking, abusing citizens, littering, breaking in a citizens door, kidnapping children, everything and anything that is illegal against Minnesota citizens. It is against the law for any federal agent to push a law abiding citizen from filming. Like Pretti was. They can't just forcibly shove anyone to the ground with out just cause. Detain the ICE agents in jail, handcuff them. STATE Charges SUPERCEDES Federal Law! TRUMP OR ICE BARBIE CAN NOT PARDON STATE CHARGES!
Tell them not to wait to deploy the National Guard, but do deploy them TODATY. Have them follow ICE around to keep this all in check, if not arrest the ICE agents.
Can someone bring all the different groups together...the ACLU, Indivisible, Women's March, Unions, Clergy, this group. This resistance needs to be united across this country. Somehow in 2016 millions of women showed up in Washington to protest The Felon taking office. We need that level of protest every weekend until this ends. The Felon and his acolytes don't care but sitting Republicans need to get the message loud and clear.
I'm wondering what we as concerned Canadians 🇨🇦 can do to support our brave friends on the frontline of this critical fight against fascism in the U.S.? I boycott. I sign petitions. I donate, I subscribe to pro-democracy substack leaders and podcasters. But I can't call a senator or sign most petitions without an American zip code. I so admire the folks who are standing up and protesting, helping their neighbors who have been so viciously targeted by ICE gestapo thugs. Nonetheless, we are not sitting on our hands here. I am incredibly proud of our Prime Minister who spoke so eloquently in Davos, as well as Denmark and other Eurpoean leaders who told Trump where he could shove his threat to take over Greenland. Know that the world is watching and we have your back. This horror too shall pass. If we all stand together - we can make it better. ❤️ 🙏 🫂
People Power - we need to get as many people as possible to go into work and change their dependents number of dependents to 10. This effectively reduces federal withdrawal to zero, and defunds Trumps government!
Thank you for those words of hope and encouragement. It was much appreciated. Your message will be that of strength and courage as we stand united in the fight for freedom. God bless all patriots . United we stand . ✊
Thank you for your support 🙏
Thank you for these words of hope! Just shared and re stacked this post. In Solidarity with Minnesota

Why do you continually use the same photograph? It makes me think you are a very small group.
Here you go: https://newsletter.peoplepowerunited.org/p/looking-back-and-looking-forward we use that photo for credibility, it shows us at Congress delivering the peoples voice. You can also check out our social media.
Lots of trees across America, little pieces of ice could be hanging from nice sturdy branches😎😎😎😎
