Pushback 14

Sorry for the delay - had some website issues last night and couldn't send, but here you go! A lot of protests, a lot of government news, and a lot of Pete Hegseth. As long as the government news is about protests of Pete Hegseth, I'm

Pushback 13

For a moment I considered skipping the number 13, with its connotations of bad luck, as though I were the architect of a high rise office building. But frankly, Trump has been having some bad luck, so I thought it was appropriate. May he have much more! I'm

Pushback 12

Another Monday is in the books, friends, and while we may have taken off a day or two, thankfully a few federal judges did not. As with his Stop the Steal litigation, Trump is mostly losing in the courts. This is because he is a loser. There's a

Pushback 11

This one is a quickie because I keep swearing I will take the weekend off but then a bunch of good people show up and push back. Given that transfolks only make up .8% of the population and the recent order banning trans athletes affects only TWELVE athletes, I think

Pushback 10

Welcome to all of our new readers! So glad you found us. The purpose of this newsletter is to present news as it should be - highlighting the people and organizations challenging Trump and his minions - and not as the media currently presents it. Democratic Party leaders in Congress

Today I was listening to a popular politics podcast and the hosts were running through the laundry list of horribles, gnashing their teeth and rending their garments over Elon's coup crew and bemoaning "Trump's America." One complaint they had was that "Democracy doesn&

Pushback 6

Finally started to see a little action from our elected officials today. Hopefully it's just the beginning of the leadership we will need in person in DC to slow the wheels of Trump's off-the-rails train. By the way, let me know if you prefer this in

Pushback 5

Hi folks. I started this newsletter because the news was so unrelentingly terrible that it seemed like Trump had not just won the Presidency, but also that he'd ascended to the throne. But once you start looking for evidence that people aren't going to take this

Pushback 4

I was going to take the weekend off, but I've got a few minutes and a lot of links. More importantly, we have a few actions that are happening this weekend. Check it out. I've also set up another page that I will continue to update

Pushback Day 3

Welcome to all our new friends. A quick orientation to what this is: it's a list of news items and (hopefully soon) calls to action about efforts taken to oppose the Trump administration's policies. The topics are in alphabetical order. This is a crowd-sourced effort, so
