Dear John,

Yesterday I heard from an old friend who urged me to slow down.

“You’re overdoing it, Bob,” he said. “A new book. Movie. Substack. Videos. You’re pushing 80, for crying out loud. What are you trying to prove?”

I told him I’m not trying to prove anything, but I’m not going to play golf or lie in a hammock and sip mint juleps. That’s not me.

Besides, there’s no way I’ll retire as long as a raving sociopath sits in the Oval Office destroying everything I believe in.

Trump is 10 days older than I am. If he can cause as much mayhem as he does every day, the least I can do is make a bit of good trouble every day.

We’re in a national emergency, and I will do everything I can as long as I can to defend our democracy — and the best way you can help me keep going is by making a donation to Inequality Media Civic Action.

Every day this amazing team is creating viral videos and posts to expose Trump as the corrupt conman that he is, and it’s working. In fact, we’re now reaching over 22 million people every week with proven-effective voter persuasion videos.

But the only way we can continue this work is with the financial support of grassroots donors like you, so I hope you’ll join me by making a monthly donation to Inequality Media Civic Action.

Every day, we’re sounding the alarm to the American people about the threat posed by Trump and his minions.

We’re alerting our millions of followers across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, and Twitter/X about how taking over American cities with federal troops threatens the very foundations of our free society.

We’re educating voters about how abducting people off the street with no due process violates the basic tenets of America. We’re connecting the dots to reveal the larger pattern, building towards a Trumpian dictatorship rooted in white male Christian nationalism.

And we’re warning people that it’s impossible to appease a tyrant like Trump — because tyrants always see appeasement as a sign of weakness and demand even more.

But there’s more. With so many people feeling demoralized or powerless, we’re working to give people the strength and reassurance to get through this nightmare without drowning in denial or despair.

Bottom line: Eff retirement. There’s just far too much work to do to defend this country from the aspiring authoritarian dictator in the White House.

If you’re with me, please make a monthly donation to Inequality Media Civic Action to help us continue to grow our movement, educate the public, and stop Donald Trump's authoritarian takeover.
