Thank you for all you do. Have you heard of any resistance movements? The US needs a grand scale unified resistance like there was in France to the Nazis. Please keep your ear out if you hear anything.
Malcolm Nance puts it best in his substack. Here's part of what he wrote -
In 1940 when France was occupied by the Germans and their government became a tool of a dictator, the French people did not comply … they acted like they complied, and then every moment when the enemy was not watching they ALL carried out resistance. Sometimes it was as simple as showing personal disdain and passively resisting by closing shops or showing patriotism by flying even more French flags everywhere. The point was not just to make the feeling of resistance known to the enemy, but to use the feeling to mobilize those who just tolerated the occupation. Until real opposition formed in London with the Free French, the locals did their subversive acts, right in the face of the Nazis. That’s how we must act. No one is talking about blowing up train lines, felling trees, or hurting people. In the present context that is just the excuse Trump will be looking for, so get it out of your head. However, subversion can take on national importance if done simultaneously, everywhere, and in the real world. Let’s suspend bitching on Bluesky and Twitter about the latest Trump outrage. Let us steer the conversation with our own brand of subversion, well protected by the First Amendment.
I'm looking for something like that. Trump WILL come after those who openly defy him. He's doing it w/ the media now. He'll come after every day Americans w/o a blink of the eye. He doesn't give a damn if he lines us all up in front of a firing squad. Those in positions of power are bowing down to him. It's up to us not to do so. We must follow Timothy Snyder's advice - Defend Institutions. Be a Patriot. Learn from peers in other countries.
Might I say, you look absolutely beautiful at the White House party! And the necklace is fabulous! Thx for the pictures, so happy you could attend! Thank you for all you do everyday! You are a true leader, when we really need you! ❤️
Thank you Jessica for sharing these wonderful photos! Especially for including the video of Joe's toast. I got very teary. I truly believe he is one of our greatest presidents. I always knew he would be a good president. Happy Holidays and thanks for all you do in leading us in our grassroots endeavors.
Thank you for the photos. But mostly thank you for YOU! I’m a late comer to your substack posts and wowed by them with concrete suggestions for taking actions. Now I know what you look like, I’m not surprised: eyes of yours wide open, vital and full of delight. You are a gift.
So nice you got to see it before it becomes tacky when “ I don’t give a f—-k “ comes back. Though you are not the “type” that would get an invite. Thanks for all you do for us.

I mean, indivisible?

Thank you, Kathy!
I was hoping we’d get to see pictures of you and the event! Thank you for sharing. Safe travels!
Seconded by Second Virginia!
Of course!
Great photos, Jessica. Thanks for posting. The WH looks beautiful!!
It really was incredible.
Thank you, Jess, for taking the time to share these pics and video with us. We were there in spirit with you!
Thank you Lynell. I certainly felt it.
I envy you the chance to tell Joe you love him in person. Honestly, I wish I could just hug him and say thanks for everything.
I mean, I didn’t get that chance unless you count yelling it as part of a crowd. But even that felt good.

He got a lot of love from that crowd, I’ll tell you. So did Jill.
What a well-deserved honor!
Thank you, Rick.
Thank you for filling us all in on this momentous event! So happy for you! You looked absolutely lovely and glowing with happiness! 💙💙💙🎉
Thank you. I was quite thrilled to be there.

No they will def not be asking me there.
Pity you didn't get to taste the food. The White House kitchen has a great reputation for reception food.
It looked incredible. There was just so much to see and so little time.
Glad you got to go.
You look great, glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, Nadine!
What a memorable experience. Thanks for all you do!
Of course, Steve!
What a great opportunity!
It was amazing.
Just WOW
