It’s about time for Netanyahu to go. I’m tired of dirty leaders having immunity from prosecution while they are in office.
Hi, everyone, this is my first post to this august group! Heather’s last few posts finally convinced me to support her with more than my rapt attention and admiration. I have been losing sleep along with many people for a long time, and I just discovered that I could read posts from this group a few months ago.
I am a member of Indivisible GA 10, and a supporting volunteer with MoveOn Georgia. I call myself the Invisible Indivisible because I physically can’t attend their meetings, but my heart is with them! I am happy to report that I, along with so many Georgians, drained our bank accounts and ran up the old magic plastic in order to get the Rev. Warnock and Mr. Ossoff to both receive the title US Senator, and we tried so hard to get Stacey Abrams elected as our governor. But this corrupt state government is well entrenched by republicans and the fight is hard. If you want to know what our country could look like in two years, we can show you.
Enough about me and my state for now. I won’t post very often, but I will hear everything you say, and be fighting very hard alongside all of you as we work to get voter legislation through the senate.
And, may I join all of you posters in expressing my deep gratitude for Professor Cox-Richardson’s willingness to share her impressive knowledge and wise perspective with us. I do believe that you, Professor, have more influence on the people who are working to save our democracy than you could ever realize. Thank you!
Good to hear your voice, Gustav. Many here on this page were with you in Georgia as we donated our money and efforts to get Senators Warnock and Ossoff elected. We were so proud of Georgia (and ourselves!) when they were sworn into office. I believe Senator Warnock will be needing us again come 2022. We'll be there again come 2022.
I will, as well! Yes, we pulled it off. We surprised them then, but they will be ready for us in 2022. I too felt deep pride in the people of my state. Confess I was shocked when we pulled it off. But as you well know it isn’t over....Good night, everyone!
I wasn’t shocked, he was a slam dunk just look 👀 at who he was running against. He’s a man of integrity that’s not interested in selling the jobs of Georgians to the Chinese which is exactly what Perdue did while living in China for 2 years.
I fear the Perdues will be back in some fashion, terrified that Loeffler is not done either. They should just enjoy their vast wealth in privacy, and leave us alone. Not sure about Taylor-Greene, a psychotic is hard to read and predict.
I live in NE FL. I showed up for Georgia and the nation. I'm hoping Georgia and the nation will return the favor by supporting Nikki Fried for Governor. Nikkifried.com
Welcome to this awesome community. Many here have saved me from deep depression about the state of this country. Even if you never comment, there is always someone who will echo what you might be thinking.
My mother was born in a village in the Saar, a coal district. Entire family on that side is descended from coal miners.
My father is from a village called Neu-Esting just outside Munich. Front row seat to Hitler’s entrance on the world scene.
The eldest child in my mother’s family, my mother’s older brother, was born in Milan. Their father (our grandfather) was working, if the family history is to be believed, as a translator attached to the Luftwaffe. We know he was a translator, because he studied six or seven languages, including Esperanto. It’s the Luftwaffe portion that is in question. But certainly he was in Mussolini‘s Italy in the role of a German military staff person. My mother, the 2nd child, was conceived in Italy, then they moved back to Germany.
My siblings and I have a little family joke. We must have been influenced by that link to Italy, because we express ourselves more like Italians than like Americans of German ancestry. How do you silence an Italian? You handcuff them or put them in a straitjacket. The joke is that, if our hands were tied, we would be severely hampered in our communication because we use an abundance of body language. It’s not meant to be a slur against Italians, it’s a self-deprecating satirical statement about ourselves.
I had planned on perhaps giving that message to Peter, because it is Peter’s story of his Prussian mentor, a translator, a man he admired, which was the inspiration for me thinking about translators. My maternal grandfather, Peter’s mentor, and Peter himself. Dolmetscher.
Welcome. I love the term Invisible Indivisible. I am one also. Donated to GA candidates and and wrote postcards to GA voters. When each in our own way do what we can, be it a lot or a little we win. We’re in this together.
We must, and we shall! Nice to know that is still fight left in us at our stage of life, and nice to know how many people who don’t live in our state helped us get our senators elected. I just felt that we had a lot of help and hoped for it, and now I know it.
The nice thing about "our stage in life" is that we're not fettered by job responsibilities, so now have time to be more active in the real issues.
Your comment about the Perdues and Loeffler are justified, except that David has said he doesn't intend to run again in the near future. Taylor Greene, though, is very scary. While it's clear that she's psychotic and appears to be a known quantity, and no sane people wouldn't support her, her area of the state is home to many like-minded voters, so she poses a danger if she's not removed from the House. It wouldn't surprise me if they found that she'd "hosted" tours for some of the insurrectionists. She can't be dismissed merely because she's obviously unstable and woefully ignorant!
I'm hopeful that, despite the current attempts at voter suppression, people will be so incensed that they'll turn out in even larger numbers than '20. The angry, panicked minority party has to be taught a lesson. We'll have lots of work ahead, Gustav.
The money I would have sent to NC Dem candidates, had there been more than a slight handful, whom I did support, I tried to spread around to places like Georgia. Lord knows, the Big Bucks were fighting like hell against us in every race, but my paltry help maybe bought a few yard signs or bumper stickers!
In Israel, no public office puts a person above the law. Netanyahu is not the first Israeli PM to be prosecuted while in office. If convicted and jailed, he won't be first at that either.
I totally agree! And kudos to you and your group for your mighty fight! I live in KS, and while I didn't empty my bank acct, did contribute. I, too, live in a Republican state with a Democratic Governor who is dadly hogtied by our legislature

Pam, I think we'd all be on Xanax if it weren't for this group!
Absolutely!
Welcome Gustav. Willkommen in unsere Gruppe. Wie geht’s, wie steht’s?
Ich bin gut, danke!
Wenn ich fragen darf, wo wohnen Sie denn?
Ich gehe jetzt schlafen, Gute nacht
You and me both. Sleep well. 💤
Jackson County, Georgia
Let me rephrase that question. You live in Georgia. Where is your ancestry? My parents are both from Germany.
Thankfully my albeit limited German got me there alongside you....but the confirmation is a great thought, thanks.
Stuart you’re amazing.
So many amazing and lovely and wonderful people.
Roland, where are your parents from? My dad was from Freiburg, Baden-Württemberg.
My mother was born in a village in the Saar, a coal district. Entire family on that side is descended from coal miners.
My father is from a village called Neu-Esting just outside Munich. Front row seat to Hitler’s entrance on the world scene.

Welcome, Gustav.
Welcome to the community Gustav!
Welcome Gustav!
Welcome! Your voice here is appreciated. I have "Georgia on my Mind" a LOT these days.
Welcome, fellow Georgian! Clearly, we must continue the fight. I'll be there with you.

Yes, I live in California and donated to both of the Democrat candidates. Deeply deeply concerned about current trajectories in so many states.
The money I would have sent to NC Dem candidates, had there been more than a slight handful, whom I did support, I tried to spread around to places like Georgia. Lord knows, the Big Bucks were fighting like hell against us in every race, but my paltry help maybe bought a few yard signs or bumper stickers!

Welcome! Your energy and words are invigorating.
Welcome! We’re glad you’re here and you probably already know what a supportive, intelligent and activist group this is.
