Liberty v Safety Pt 3: Resolve

Resistance Brief 5.31.26

Congress wants a raise. Congress wants to keep its stock trading privileges. Congress left Washington early rather than take difficult votes. At the same time, older Americans are being told they must work or volunteer for food assistance. This video examines the growing gap between what Congress expects from ordinary Americans and what many members of Congress expect from themselves.

Resistance Brief 5.29.26

I’ve been thinking about a simple contradiction. If government is evil, corrupt, and illegitimate, why would someone want to serve in it? This video examines Colorado legislators with ties to anti-government activism, the political money that supports them, and the growing disconnect between the oath of office and the people taking it. Maybe the most important question isn’t who they are. Maybe it’s why they wanted the job in the first place.

Resistance Hope 5.28.26

Thinking about America lately can put a person in a funk. This video started there. But after thinking about the similarities between modern America and the early 1930s, I found a silver lining that I didn’t expect. History has warnings in it.It also has patterns. That’s what this video is about. This is a public episode.

Resistor Endorsed 5.20.26

I’m expecting another endorsement announcement in the coming days. But 3.14 Action Fund [https://314action.org/] is my first! 3.14 Action Fund [https://314action.org/] exists to help Democrats with math and science backgrounds get elected at all levels of government. I have a Mathematics degree with a minor in physics. I’m very concerned, for my grandchildren’s sake, about climate change. I believe strongly in what 3.14 Action Fund [https://314action.org/] stands for and I’m proud to have their endorsement.

Resisting Surveys 5.19.26

Gun control has become one of the most polarized debates in America. I’m not interested in treating it like a tribal loyalty test. In this video, I explain why I won’t be filling out gun-control surveys from advocacy groups, where I actually stand on gun legislation, and why I believe we should spend more time addressing the causes of violence instead of endlessly dividing Americans into camps. I own firearms. I support some gun laws. Some recent laws don’t make much sense to me. But after forty years of this debate, the violence continues while the division gets worse. If we want less violence, we need stronger communities. Vic Meyers for Democracy [https://vicmeyersfordemocracy.com/] This is a public episode.
