Special Thanks to New Followers and Subscribers

Diane’s Blue Notes is free, and it’s amazing that people care about animals, the environment, Democracy, and the people I repost daily who guide me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🇺🇸❤️🧢

If all people were like the people I admire on Substack, I truly believe that our country would be in a better place. Most of you seem to admire the writings of the same people I respect and love.

I have a confession. When someone follows or subscribers, I’m look at their profile to see what they read and post. I’m suspect you might (or should) also. I have had to block some pro-Trump and Elon Musk trollers. Check your list too.

Right now, if you feel depressed by national or international news, you are not alone. It’s time to put our efforts into getting the Blue vote out for 2024 and work against voter suppression across the US and on college campuses. I believe we must unite all generations against authoritarianism. If you disagree, please feel free to unfollow or unsubscribe. It costs me nothing since this is a free Substack. Thanks, anyway.

For those of who love HCR, I cannot recommend her new book—and the audio version with her reading it—strongly enough. “Democracy Awakening: Notes On the State of America.” Amazon has the book and the audio version. Too bad Heather isn’t in charge of Congress, for we would have a fair & equitable one.

So, thanks, friends of Democracy! Encourage your friends to read the book!

In case you missed this YouTube video—

An hour and 11 minutes & worth it.
