None of these people are my reps, but I called them anyway to voice my disgust at their votes. Their behavior is not what we’re looking for from Dems. They should be fighting back like @algreen.house.gov not staying silent and hiding behind norms that no longer serve.

I haven’t been a political person. Almost 45 years, and this was my first protest. But the state of our country? I can’t stay quiet. Silence is where power thrives, and I refuse to sit back. I love this country and the freedoms we should ALL have as outlined in our Constitution.

No one is OK right now. At least, no one with working empathy and a knowledge of History who’s paying attention. It is an emotional impossibility to be living in days like one’s we’re in here and to be fully unaffected. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/its-ok-if-...

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am. This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

Dear President Zelensky, As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here. I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-preside...

Absolutely appalled by the way Trump and Vance treated President Zelensky today. The whole world knows Putin is a dictator and a threat to global safety. Siding with him is a disgrace. America should stand with democracy, not bow to authoritarian thugs. #StandWithUkraine #DefendDemocracy

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Yet again, another Governor DeSantis press conference sucking up to Elon Musk, this time threatening to eliminate 740 state jobs and pursuing more politically motivated audits targeting our state university system. My statement in response:

I recently caught up with a friend who I hadn't seen in a few months. "Damn, you look tired today" he said to me, with sincere concern. I told him that he was right, but assured him that this was not an isolated reality. open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl...

When my class was elected in 2010, we cut congress’ own budget and our personal ones by about 10 percent. This one should cut theirs by about 20, and each office should lay off a couple employees. Same DOGE is requiring. Make every @gop answer

I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

We are being governed by incompetent fools more committed to a political agenda than the health and wellbeing of our nation and states. I have contacted DCF to learn about the status of our Medicaid program here in FL but have already heard that multiple agencies can’t login to federal portals.

We’ve been on the phone with multiple agencies/orgs. They’ve been completely cut off from federal money. We’re talking housing, homeless services, public safety, etc. I’m calling a press conference today to explain how this could have drastic local impacts to our constituents.

I don’t wanna hear a PEEP from those who voted for this madness as it starts affecting them… unless of course they’re fighting back and speaking out against it. And by “fighting back” I mean LEGALLY not literally. #reality #truth #speakout #makeadifference #democrat #politics #freedom #usa

I disagree with those who, in the midst of the storm, are saying that ‘we all are on our own’ - It isn’t true. It can’t be true. Need proof? The Butterfly Nebula contains millions of stars and is literally ‘astronomically nextdoor’ 🙏🏽😌 #astronomy #hubble #NASA #ESA #photography #togetherness
