Resistance Music 4.23.26

2026/04/23

This has been a long time coming. Before I decided to run for Colorado House District 47 (learn more about that here: Vic Meyers for Democracy), I committed to having a TikTok live event and then a YouTube live event and, if things went well, a Substack live event to use my channels to promote artists who perform resistance music. This should have happened two months ago but since I announced my campaign, something I wasn’t planning on doing at the time, I’ve been too busy.The TikTok finally got

Resistance Surveillance 4.21.26

2026/04/21

Congress just rushed through another extension of Section 702, a surveillance program that allows the government to collect communications without a warrant.It was designed for foreign intelligence. But in practice, it has already been used to conduct hundreds of thousands of searches on Americans.That’s not a future concern. That’s already happened.The bigger issue isn’t just how the data is collected. It’s what happens once it exists. Because once your information is in a system like this, it

I think I finally know what it’s like when folks who like to pan for gold find a big nugget.I initially invited Kelly Thompson, congressional candidate for Indiana CD3, because her ABOUT page on her website talks about how she used to be a Republican. While preparing to record, I read more of her website and I was starting to second-guess my decision. Then I talked to her. Now I wish she was running in my congressional district.

Resistance Responsibility

Resistor Vic Podcast ·

2026/04/18

We don’t just vote for policies. We vote for the people who decide who holds power.The founders built a system to check power, requiring the Senate to confirm presidential nominees to prevent unfit people from taking office. But when we adopted direct election of senators, we didn’t just gain influence. We took on responsibility.If senators confirm unqualified or unfit individuals, that responsibility doesn’t stop with them.It comes back to us.So the question isn’t just who they confirmed.The

Resistance 'What if' 4.9.26

2026/04/09

People often ask why the military hasn’t stepped in during to save us from Trump. In this video, I explore a different possibility—one that challenges the assumption behind the question itself. Drawing on my perspective as a veteran, I walk through a scenario that may explain more than we realize, and why the absence people see might not be absence at all.Vic Meyers for Democracy This is a public episode.

Resistance CTA 4.8.26

2026/04/08

The 25th Amendment isn’t the safety valve people think it is.It requires action from the very people who have shown no willingness to act — and Congress can’t invoke it themselves. That’s the reality we’re dealing with.So if that’s not the answer, what is?In this video, I break down what the 25th Amendment actually says, why it won’t work in this situation, and what action still matters right now.Vic Meyers for Democracy This is a public episode.

Resistance Trepidation

Resistor Vic Podcast ·

2026/04/02

Long before I was on Substack, I made a series of videos on my YouTube channel about Trump’s long obsession with ending birthright citizenship. He’s been talking about it for over 10 years.Today it’s very likely that Trump lost before the Supreme Court. This video is encouraging people to go back and watch my Dec 2024 videos on this. These are links to the videos.Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4I hope I’m way off base. Unfortunately, too many of the things I’ve predicted about a 2nd Trump presidency

Resistance in 2 Parts 3.31.26

2026/03/31

This is Part 1 of a two-part series.I’m asking you to picture a river, a logjam, and a lake downstream that represents our democracy.Logjams don’t happen all at once. They build slowly over time. And if they’re not managed, they can change the course of the river… or break all at once and send everything crashing downstream.In this video, I lay out that picture and what’s at stake if we ignore it.In Part 2, I’ll show you what happens when that pressure finally breaks.Vic Meyers for Democracy This is

Resistance Rights 3.29.26

Resistor Vic Podcast ·

2026/03/29

I’ve been thinking about something that feels obvious on the surface, but falls apart the moment you look closer: do we actually value public education?Every state constitution requires a system of public schools. But neither the U.S. Constitution nor any state constitution guarantees a child the right to be educated.That gap matters.Because when you look at how we actually spend money, what we prioritize, and what policymakers choose to focus on, the goal doesn’t seem to be learning — it seems to

Resistance Brief 3.27.26

2026/03/27

I’m tired of being told one thing while watching the exact opposite happen.They tell us they support small businesses, but write policies that benefit corporations.They say they care about safety, but fund systems that don’t prevent crime.They claim to stand for freedom, while taking rights away.At some point, it stops being confusing—and starts being obvious.You know who they are.

Resistance Humor? 3.26.26

Resistor Vic Podcast ·

2026/03/26

We’ve been watching Republicans endorsed by Trump lose all over the country, in special elections and in primaries. The latest being a special election for the Florida State House district that includes Mar-A-Lago. So I thought, “what the heck? I might as well try to get my opponent endorsed by Trump.”This video is part humor, part fundraiser, and part strategy. If, by some twist of fate, my video were to make it to Trump’s eyes and he endorses my opponent then I can run ads telling everybody that

I went to a community event in Walsenburg, CO expecting to listen. What I heard forced me to ask a question I didn’t expect to ask out loud.Are Republicans evil?This isn’t about labeling people. It’s about responsibility, silence, and the choices we all face heading into 2026.If you want to help me fight the evil, please support my campaign. Thank you. This is a public episode.

Resistor Vic Pod 39: Julie Gonzales

2026/03/23

State Senator Julie Gonzales appears to be leading the pack in the Democratic Party primary for U.S. Senate in Colorado. She has a solid lead in party preference polls conducted at local party assemblies.The State Assembly is this weekend (March 28). Incumbent Senator Hickenlooper has dropped out of the caucus process after securing enough signatures to get on the ballot. If he had stayed in the caucus and not received at least 10% of the coming vote, his petitions would not have qualified for him

Resistance Brief 3.20.26

Resistor Vic Podcast ·

2026/03/20

I went into the Heritage Foundation’s voter fraud database and did the math myself. Out of roughly 2.4 billion votes cast over four decades, they found 1,620 cases of fraud. Only 99 involved non-citizens.That’s not a widespread problem. That’s statistical noise.So why are we seeing calls for stricter voting laws, federal control of elections, and aggressive voter roll purges? In this video, I walk through a simple analogy that makes the scale of the issue impossible to

I’ve spent a lot of time talking about what’s broken. This time, I want to show you what’s starting to work. In Colorado, we’re seeing signs of real change driven by activism and community. It’s early, but it’s real and it looks like an emerging trend of replacing the old guard with the new.It gives me hope.vicmeyersfordemocracy.com This is a public episode.

I’m not interested in partisan takes on the latest strike. I’m thinking about something else — the silence. The muted response. The familiarity.Columbine once shattered us. Now children die in schools, here and abroad, and the reaction feels routine.This is about conditioning. About desensitization. About what it means when tragedy no longer stops us in our tracks.We listen for the bell. This is a public episode.

Resistance Brief 2.26.26

2026/02/26

I have been thinking about America as a young nation still trying to grow deep roots. Between political corruption, what we are learning from the Epstein files, and the broader direction of the country, I find myself wondering whether we are strengthening those roots or weakening them. This is a personal reflection about responsibility, accountability, and why participation in primaries still matters. This is a public episode.
