This is SO inspiring! Thanks for taking the additional time to brighten our day and encourage us all to be as bold and brave as Lucy. It's all on the line now.
THANK YOU LUCY. YOU HAVE SHOWN THE WAY, LOVED THE MOUNTAIN AND ADDED SO MUCH TO THE ADVENTURES OF THOSE ON IT. SENDING YOU ADMIRATION AND APPRECIATION.
Greetings from Canada, and no, we do not wish to become the 51st state! However, I have noticed that Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine have got kind of funny borders. I have also found those from your part of the world to be really good people! I am therefore inviting you to join us as provinces 11, 12 and 13! Please make sure you bring Bernie and Bill with you!!
It would be hard to untangle one person's efforts while working in a deeply dysfunctional place like the US congress. But now we don't have to think about that, because it's not likely to exist after this administration.
I love how she connected so many of the slashes from the Tяump's administration to their community. _No_ one is immune from this. I hope her report proverbially snowballs into an avalanche of activism. Those in the administration should not be allowed to go anywhere without protests following.
It’s so unbelievably ironic that JD Vance has the temerity to go ski at a national park after all these people are getting fired. And he’s going to go skiing without recognizing at all that we are destroying nature. JD Vance is not that stupid, I’m afraid he’s just self interested greedy and foolish like the rest of the Trump administration.
I agree with you completely about this small man with a big ego except I think he is not very intelligent. Education can give you facts but you have to find wisdom.
Ironic he and t should belittle a man who has earned every bit of the world's respect, Zelensky.
t is like a little boy behind the wizard of Oz's curtain flicking levers because he can with no idea of how dangerous those levers could be. JD is trying to grab limelight that most VP don't get.
Remember the odds of one General Washington against the behemoth English King. Zelensky's gonna win. He is pretty savvy and he has the world cheering him on and supporting him. UKRAINE!
So another fan of the kings cabinet and feels apparently that it is ok to insult and degrade one of our allies! Great job feel proud! This whole administration is a joke and embarrassing and hope you to will love living in a second Russia
let's start with your comment "Zelenkyy is a fool." Here is a man elected from show bs, whose country was attacked and he has stay there with his family, leading his people, visiting his soldiers, traveling the world to diplomatically garner support effectively and keeping the country effectively staving off one of the largest fighting forces snd you'r calling him a fool? Second, JD challenged Zelensky's diplomatic capacity. A diplomat would not challenge another in that way and reved the president by claiming Z was not appreciative or respectful. Whose the poor diplomat. Did JD miss that class. Finally some folks go to well named schools on donations and you can't train a person on empathy or ethics or for that matter to pull together a good path to achieve something. I got my college degrees and I see plenty intelligent successful non college folks around me.
Zelensky is no fool. He is a respected grateful effective leader and Hero.
Thanks, Bill, for highlighting a brave young woman using her platform and her voice to call out the egregious behavior of our VP. He proves his unfitness for the job on almost a daily basis. It's up to us to be vocal, even loud, about it. What do you think it cost for him, his coterie of secret service personnel, Air Force 2 and it's staff to allow him a few hours on the slopes? I'll warrant it wasn't less than 1 million dollars, while we are "making government more efficient" by depriving middle class WORKERS of their livelihoods by the tens of thousands. A Pox on them (the disrupters) and the horses they rode in on.
Well done Lucy, and thanks to Bill for sharing it with us. There are many who object to this administration's bullying misbehavior, which frankly would not be tolerated in Kindergarten. It seems they have forgotten all the lessons taught about learning and living together they taught us at that age. We need a lot more Lucy, and a lot less of Vance, the orange menace, and Muskrat. More powder to us all!
Lucy is my hero of the day! Bless her heart. If I have any opportunity to stand up to the D.C. freak show, you may be assured that I will try my best to do so as well as she did!
i have lived in VT for over 60 years, have not worked in VT for over 12 years, told all my kids to move far away from this area, it's no fun here and taxes are high for average person, no new job, gone to hell since Dems and Libs took over
I agree with Lucy on the climate point. Your current administration is unprepared to tackle the greatest challenge of our times, even a bit. Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. My preference is to address problems and align them with our economic strategy. No cliff here.
I live n Canada. Same planet. Of course climate is about money. Does not have to be pushed to the back burner tho. We can all get rich working on climate. Current administration is moving forward while leaving climate behind. The only thing holding things back is old and entrenched oil money. Doesn’t really matter tho cuz renewable energy is happening regardless.
How dare he think that he and his family can enjoy nature and everyday pleasures anymore. He has condemned himself and family to eternal shame. May they be scorned and derided in many more places.
Ugh....the very thought of them desiring to enjoy nature when he denies our climate collapse....etc. etc. ..etc.
Believe me, this is mild protest to what red hat magats have subjected us to. Anyone who opposes trump is flooded with death threats, threats of rape & torture; their children & parents are threatened. Spare me your accusations of hypocrisy. These people were participating in legal legitimate protest
Nonsense, protesters did & said & held up signs against Obama that were disgusting; depicting him as an ape, & a cartoonish African medicine man. No one got shot by SS.
When I get news from several sources, read numerous authors, & a couple of books on Ukraine; then I believe that I’ve done quite a bit to inform myself. Far more than the average person.
would rather see her on Alex Wagner's show or one of the other diverse employees that MSNBC's new leadership thought would be appropriate to let go in the face of Trump's concerns about DEI.
Lucy Welch is a genuine patriot and hero, Thank You Lucy!
Remembering the rallying cry of the original American patriots of Boston, “No taxation without Representation” perhaps it is time to consider the opportunity this concept offers while Congress fails its duty to hold our Executive branch in check.
A discussion may be in order about staging a national boycott on Federal taxation. An action which could create the political will to counter this administration’s inexcusable attack on our Federal workforce, our allies, our democracy and our environment.
Trump isn’t trying to stop the war because he gives a F__k about the Ukrainians, he just wants to rob them of what little they have left. And leave them exposed to further aggression from Putin.
Zelenskyy was asking for guarantees of their safety from Putin in the deal & DonOLD refused to give it. America has always stood for democracy & freedom, DonOLD has aligned himself & our country with a brutal dictator & murderer of his opponents. I want none of that. I support Ukraine 🇺🇦
I’ve read all about the colors revolutions, the Maidan, Russian puppet presidents, corruption, etc. I prefer to believe some resources above others, particularly not from Putin.
No one legitimately stays in power for 25 yrs or more without corruption & brute force & also shutting down his citizens access to outside news sources.
Putin kills off any opposition to his grip on power, so I’m not inclined to believe much of what he has to say about who started what.
Thank you for sharing this widely, Bill. It's been an inspiring day to watch our fellow Vermonters stand up to be counted, when it counted. And to think the day started with a rallying call from a kid who grew up near Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts. History echoes around New England today.
Reading this was the best part of my day - resist in every way we can!
This is SO inspiring! Thanks for taking the additional time to brighten our day and encourage us all to be as bold and brave as Lucy. It's all on the line now.
THANK YOU LUCY. YOU HAVE SHOWN THE WAY, LOVED THE MOUNTAIN AND ADDED SO MUCH TO THE ADVENTURES OF THOSE ON IT. SENDING YOU ADMIRATION AND APPRECIATION.
If you know, Lucy, please tell her thank you thank you thank you! her courage is catching!

Best,
Penny
Please, don’t take Bernie and Bill! We need them desperately
Your comment is very disrespectful- Bernie has fought for the working class for decades.
What have you ever done for working Americans?
It would be hard to untangle one person's efforts while working in a deeply dysfunctional place like the US congress. But now we don't have to think about that, because it's not likely to exist after this administration.
I disagree with anyone who bad mouths Bernie Sanders. He’s an American patriot and hero.
True , Bernie is a bait & switch BS artist
As a 5th generation Vermonter I would gladly accept your kind offer!!
It would be great to join you folks in the great white north!
Mainer here - YES PLEASE
Please don’t leave Massachusetts behind.
I didn’t want to be greedy, but that sounds good to me!

I hope they took him down Rumble.

wow, did you complain when obama and family went to Hawaii mulitle times?
Well done Lucy, and thanks to Bill for sharing it with us. There are many who object to this administration's bullying misbehavior, which frankly would not be tolerated in Kindergarten. It seems they have forgotten all the lessons taught about learning and living together they taught us at that age. We need a lot more Lucy, and a lot less of Vance, the orange menace, and Muskrat. More powder to us all!
wow, Vermont sucks enough without more Libs
Lucy is my hero of the day! Bless her heart. If I have any opportunity to stand up to the D.C. freak show, you may be assured that I will try my best to do so as well as she did!
she is no hero, makes VT look stupid
Guessing you don't live there....
i have lived in VT for over 60 years, have not worked in VT for over 12 years, told all my kids to move far away from this area, it's no fun here and taxes are high for average person, no new job, gone to hell since Dems and Libs took over
Well, shucks.
Love to Lucy from Berkeley California! Girl... YOU ROCK!
Lucy is a true leader.
leading you off a cliff
I agree with Lucy on the climate point. Your current administration is unprepared to tackle the greatest challenge of our times, even a bit. Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. My preference is to address problems and align them with our economic strategy. No cliff here.
your??? if you live in USA it's also yours. be real climate is about money
I live n Canada. Same planet. Of course climate is about money. Does not have to be pushed to the back burner tho. We can all get rich working on climate. Current administration is moving forward while leaving climate behind. The only thing holding things back is old and entrenched oil money. Doesn’t really matter tho cuz renewable energy is happening regardless.
I was weeping by the end. Thank you, Lucy.
Me too
How dare he think that he and his family can enjoy nature and everyday pleasures anymore. He has condemned himself and family to eternal shame. May they be scorned and derided in many more places.
Ugh....the very thought of them desiring to enjoy nature when he denies our climate collapse....etc. etc. ..etc.
My rage is bottomless .....
Alas....I am awake not to mention woke..... but thank you for your interesting comment.
you should seek mental health help
And what does that say about you?
Believe me, this is mild protest to what red hat magats have subjected us to. Anyone who opposes trump is flooded with death threats, threats of rape & torture; their children & parents are threatened. Spare me your accusations of hypocrisy. These people were participating in legal legitimate protest
wow, you miss the point, if this had been done to obama, the SS would have shot the protesters
Nonsense, protesters did & said & held up signs against Obama that were disgusting; depicting him as an ape, & a cartoonish African medicine man. No one got shot by SS.
You wake up, trump is a wanna be dictator, & NO we will not obey
you need to listen, not just believe whatever you are told
When I get news from several sources, read numerous authors, & a couple of books on Ukraine; then I believe that I’ve done quite a bit to inform myself. Far more than the average person.
Big thanks to Lucy Welch! I hope to see her beautiful face and inspiring message on Rachel’s show. She said it all.
Yes, we need her on Rachel Maddow, and also perhaps on Jen PSaki’s show
would rather see her on Alex Wagner's show or one of the other diverse employees that MSNBC's new leadership thought would be appropriate to let go in the face of Trump's concerns about DEI.
Yes, Rachel Maddow is exactly where she belongs. BS propagandizers.
Lucy Welch is a genuine patriot and hero, Thank You Lucy!

Just a thought…
not a patriot or hero, crapping on VT is all she did
Trump isn’t trying to stop the war because he gives a F__k about the Ukrainians, he just wants to rob them of what little they have left. And leave them exposed to further aggression from Putin.
Zelenskyy was asking for guarantees of their safety from Putin in the deal & DonOLD refused to give it. America has always stood for democracy & freedom, DonOLD has aligned himself & our country with a brutal dictator & murderer of his opponents. I want none of that. I support Ukraine 🇺🇦

A lovely example of personal power! Thank you, Lucy and Bill!
