Hey friends. Just wanted to let you know that we have crossed 250k. Nearly there for one vehicle. This is amazing quick work. Thank you. And please share with people who might help us get the rest of the way!
Thanks for publishing the link. In the past i contributed to an individual fundraiser that you had vetted as legitimate. I appreciate that you make these posts so that I can know my contribution goes to an appropriate place.
Made a donation the other day so can’t do much more this month. However, I have a question. Someone touched base via Bluesky a while ago. She is supposedly fighting as are many women. I got this message from her:
“I know I couldn't be doing this, but I can't keep dieing in silence 😥😪😭 Food, good water, beddings, warm coats and sanitary supplies for ladies have always been a major problem for us. I wish my family is still alive, I won't be reaching out to you for this help. I have a surviving uncle who lives in Germany but I don't think if he knows I'm still existing. Nothing is too small, every little bit of help counts😪🙏 I will be grateful if I can get this help, we can make a group appreciation video mentioning your name and you'll help us in reposting, from there we might have helps🙏🙏 Nothing is too small”
I only donate thru known organizations like any of yours. My question is this; are things as dire as she writes about and if so, how can these folks get relief?
Thanks for all you’re doing. If I get my social security check, I’ll make another donation. It’s important.
Unfortunately, there is an error when trying to donate with any of the links in the article about armored ambulances. ( Oops! Page not found) then recommending other links to try. Very dodgy. Please check this out and I will try to donate later! Thank you for your good work. It is helpful to know more specifically where the donation is going.
Thank you, Timothy - I hope it encourages you to know many are taking small ways to help, as we are able. My husband and I will celebrate 50years married this May. We have just ordered our invitations to close family and friends to gather, and in lieu of 'gifts' asking people to consider donating $50 to UNITED24 instead.
I sent an email to Chuck Schumer. He is not accepting calls until 9 am. I told him:
“Your willingness to approve the CR as is gives Trump the stamp of approval to move money around to continue the unilateral destruction of the federal government. It is HELPING Musk & Trump.
The argument that a shutdown would prevent the Democrats from standing up to Trump is simply wrong. You will DEMORALIZE all Democrats, and more importantly actively HARM our litigation. Right now in litigation we get to argue that the House & Senate have the purse strings. Now he’ll say, “NO. Chuck Schumer gave me the purse strings. We can keep doing whatever we want.” This is an OUTRAGE! It is a denial of the Democratic Party, our democracy and everything we are fighting to stop! Please, do NOT support this CR.”
These are actually Jen Rubin’s words from “The Contrarian.”
After viewing Feldman, I am starting to think Schumer may be righ in passing this dirty CR. As he explains, there would be no “off ramp” from a government shutdown. Trump would be in charge of that.
It was unconscionable Johnson had the House go home, I.e. no negotiation to avoid a shutdown if we wanted to change/add things. A real a..h…
I think Feldman is wrong on this issue. I read Greg Olear this morning. Feldman is a new person I started listening to 2 weeks ago and while he has a lot of interesting 'things to say' he's not going to be my go to nor do I think I will recommend him going forward based on my perception of his response to the CR and how Senators should vote.

Awesome Marlo. I am writing to Senators using. Contacting senators I may cut and paste your note you are much more eloquent than I am. Best regards. !kudos to Jen Rubin too !!
I am not sure I turned the set on to watch the vote, and now they are voting on a motion to recommit, which I understand happens before a vote. I am unclear where they are. wish I had a better answer. Marlo, I think they are voting on the parts of the CR
Just made a donation. This is in addition to the donation I made on Friday, 2/28 after Trump & Vance disgraced America with their duplicitous, mendacious and disgusting tag team attack on Zelenskyy.
Also, as I proposed then, I propose now: I propose that when we, the opposition, conduct an economic boycott of those companies that support or cower to Trump, we donate what we otherwise would have spent to Ukraine. Let's demonstrate the power of our purse/wallet!!!
Done. Thank you so much for letting us know the best ways we can support Ukraine. (I also posted information about Razom on my substack, along with the outstanding reviews for this wonderful project; on my FB page; and on two anti-drumpf pages with which I'm involved on FB.) Slava Ukraini!
Dr. Snyder, I pass along this email message from my local Democratic Party clustrr in Leicester, NC so you will know that your work is making a difference.

Leicester Liberals,
Another week, more executive orders, Elon’s tears, and even more chaos. What’s next? Who knows? We can’t predict the future, but we can organize for it.
Two key structures still stand between us and the madness: the courts and elections. We have a plan to train, organize, and mobilize for next year’s midterms.
Join us this Sunday at 3 PM at Noble Cider for our first book club discussion on On Tyranny by Timothy D. Snyder—an essential step in learning how to build our resistance.
Want to make an impact? Join us for Annual Organizing on March 22, 10 AM, at Leicester Community Center. Bring your neighbors, bring your energy—when we show up, we win.

I also bought an old ambulance in UK last month for about $10k and drove it to Ukraine along with 11 4-wheel drive vehicles, also old. We could have provided 20 unarmored but full functional ambulances for your single armored one. Obviously all kinds are needed but the Ukrainians soldiers we know would rather have 20 cheap vehicles than 1 expensive one as they can modify them for not much money themselves. Driving Ukraine in Uk is the group handling the logistics for this FYI.
Thank you, Prof Snyder, for co-authoring this effort and for giving us the tools to donate. The donation using the suggested link was easy, the receipt emailed promptly.
This sort of individual voluntary support effort to participate in is a direct expression of human support and mutual caring and commitment.

Same here, Brian. It’s so important to trust where my donation is going and what it will be used for.
Wonderful news! Donated and shared!
You have my contribution.

Also same experience-maybe best to delete those links?

What a fantastic idea, Nancy!

To call after 9 am: 202.224.3121
Called my Rep at 9:10 this morning
Now call the Senators!!
I am editing my message. The vote is in the process of happening.
For a clean alternative CR?
Hi Marlo. David Feldman this morning. Thursday. Very Dirty CR. https://open.spotify.com/episode/3sMOCAcR7gEY32opRw6sEU?si=WhmSEeJpRISSUo9vEW7dCg&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A6MtDqyk168BEWgYTx587aW

Sorry to beat a dead horse here but I listened to several podcasts until I found out what makes the bill dirty. 2 poison pills. Minute 31 Anthony Davis and Ron Filipkowski Uncovered 3/12/25 tell all. Call your Senators to Vote No https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MCHf2Q-l3HE&list=PL36GQAccexbwU5RiVc1zzcULrfFAelMF1&index=1&pp=iAQB
I emailed and called Schumer to vote NO.

Nancy, that’s marvelous! Congratulations on your golden wedding anniversary! 💖🥂
Wonderful idea!
I am glad you were able to get thru. I wasn’t able. I am going to try again right now. Thank you Marlo.
Our city, Sonoma California, is a sister city to Kaniv, Ukraine . We pooled our resources, and raised over $20k to outfit and ship an ambulance to them. You can read about it here: https://www.sonomacity.org/sonomas-ambulance-donation-completes-journey-to-kaniv-ukraine/
Wow! Amazing, Alan. Hugs to you all! 🇺🇦🇺🇸 Loved the video! 🥹

A worthy contribution indeed. Slava 🇺🇦
