What a moving inspiring interview - I was in awe of the Dollar Brown story as you called out his name and the wisdom to protect your voice as it’s a pillar in a time where columns are being shattered.

It seems to this viewer that it would be a badge of honor to be held in contempt by DJT!

In the face of adversity and censorship, April Ryan continues to shine as a courageous and essential voice for American democracy.

I also love your tribute to Rev jessie jackson- his deep root holds up the trees of today’s voices. I am privileged to have had educators as parents to outshine the ignorance and hatred of the southern states. Freedom must be discovered inside every human on earth. Simply “do unto others “ is the profound message for all.

Thank you, Miss April especially now, for telling the story of Reverend Jackson we must always remember to keep hope alive! Thank you Mary for the continued coverage of Independent Journalism! If you like, journalism instead of censorship and corporate propaganda. Please subscribe to The contrarian and the good in us by Mary L Trump.

I appreciate April’s respect for the office of the president, and I’ve always done the same until Donald. I no longer do. When HE starts respecting the office and acts like a real president, I will as well.

Yes !!! For me 2016 was the definitive breaking pt.

2024 equaled complete utter horror at our delusional electorate.

Reading up on miller and vought's warped world views confirmed all my fears of a lifetime. ..which come to think of it didn't really exist before 2016.

Here we are.

Grateful for this though and for those who rally us not to give up🐸💙

I agree completely with Mary and April. Accountability is needed soon to Trump and many of his diehard followers!? Soon 😥🤔

And the only really important thing is to VOTE THROUGH THE MID-TERMS, and HE HAS NO AUTHOURITY TO CONTROL THE ELECTIONS, only the Governors and Congress can do that, AND WHO PAYS THEIR CHECK? WE THE PEOPLE, And we will change things with the voting on the MID TERMS.
