Patti you really are correct, Gandhi style, by the millions, stand our ground, until then…we must do our work. I feel strongly, with balance, about lawlessness and disregard for our Constitution. I have stepped back for now. Peaceful organized protest. Yes. And I so love listening to you and thoughts. You care! You are a bright intelligent worldly woman. I respect you and so appreciate your power here. Keep up your work, keep smiling big. We all love you! 🌼

I wear my "People Have the Power" shirt to the demonstrations. The last march was to Tower Bridge in Sacramento where we tied our messages.

Patti, you crack me up sometimes and it’s just pure joy watching and listening to you. I’m in awe of the vulnerability. Pure joy. Many thanks. With love Kk

I had the same, comment on my comment, but I don’t think Patti’s substack has been truly hacked - it just looks like someone is trying to look like her account, imposter using her profile picture but clearly not her.

Hi Barbara - me too, multiple times, even on past posts. It's the same message. What I noticed on them this morning is the spelling of Patti's substack is misspelled. "Imposter" sounds right to me.
