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.
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.
Democratic messaging on the continuing resolution is all wrong. You can’t tell scared people that you will “stand fast” to try to preserve things they care about for the long term while gutting them in the short term.
You have to have an alternative that protects them.
The alternative is to say that they will ONLY vote for a CLEAN continuing resolution that:
•runs through September 30, 2025
•has no changes in any of the funding levels that were in Biden’s last budget to protect the social safety net until then
•forbids sequestration of funds so Trump and Vought cannot create a phony emergency to allow them to redirect funds
•forbids illegal impoundments of funds by Trump
•Raises the debt ceiling by only a small fraction of the $4 trillion so Trump cannot get enough to enact the tax cut for billionaires.
Why vote for any version of the CR? BECAUSE YOU DON’T WANT TO SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN AND DO MORE HARM.
Tell the people that!!!
If the Republicans pass their own booby-trapped CR, at least you’ve warned people about what more destruction may be coming down the track.
And you are taking the first step in building a true opposition shadow government. One that makes the alternative positions and policies clear and exposes the hidden attacks on the working people of America in everything that Trump and the oligarchs are doing.
IMPORTANT! Call/email the House Republicans and READ to them Georgia Fisanick’s excellent ‘Alternative CR’ (above) that the Democrats should DEMAND NOW to avoid a government shutdown.
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.

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.
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.

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!

What a fantastic idea, Nancy!
A CR Democrats Could Vote For
Exposing the Dangers in the Republican CR

I already called Hakeem Jeffries. (202) 225-3121
Called my Rep at 9:10 this morning
I am editing my message. The vote is in the process of happening.
For a clean alternative CR?
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
Nancy, that’s marvelous! Congratulations on your golden wedding anniversary! 💖🥂
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 🇺🇦
