In honor of Earth Day, here's an imagined school based upon a hypothetical Socratic dialogue between Maria Montessori, John Dewey, and Paolo Freire...amplified by the perspectives and inspirations of Noam Chomsky, Freeman Dyson, Buckminster Fuller, Frida Kahlo, Gabor Mate, and Daniel Barenboim.

Let’s downgrade Trump’s habitat and put him behind bars. www.yahoo.com/news/us-prop...

Huzzah for Judge Xinis!

We must band together to withhold tax revenue from this unconscionable administration. Down with cruelty! Down with evil! Down with Trump!

Thousands march - good! Now, it must contain an implied threat. Ways to threaten: 1) Delay your tax return. No funds to an obscenely dismantled government and a pestilential tax cut. 2). Don't just challenge GOP in the general election. Primary GOP candidates who support Trump...

No cuts. No crimes. No kidnap. No tariffs. No cruelty. No silence.

Hideous. Curdles the kindness in my soul. These people are making life a living hell for all of us (per the wishes of their masters), so I suggest we make life a living hell for them personally until we force them to abandon their mission to destroy. Harass, harass, harass. Not a moment’s peace.

For those who are afraid or unable to do full tax-resistance…If you, file for an extension on your federal filing (until October). Tell Trump et al that you are waiting to see sanity restored to the federal government, corruption halted. This could be our most powerful collective lever. Pass it on.

A lot of us Americans are vehemently opposed to this hostile takeover of our country. Like Mary Trump said recently: we are observing and strategizing. Soon, we will get to action. It will be swift, unexpected, it will be overwhelming and impossible to ignore. We are taking our country back.

Medicaid recipients: send your unpaid medical bills to your closest Republican Congressperson. They are now responsible for the cost of your care. Your life matters to us all.

Somebody arrest Trump, Vought, Musk. Sure, it’s a constitutional crisis, but hardly a bigger one than the current maelstrom.

Defend refugee migrant families in your area (and legal immigrants being persecuted) — hide them in your homes, safe-house them, transport them away from the claws of ICE.

Acting U.S. Attorney Edward Martin (Trump Appointee) is claiming that public workers who resist the seizing of classified information by Musk and DOGE are breaking the law. He is preparing to direct the FBI against those public workers standing their ground. Protect these people!

If you need to travel to a different place of peace and magic for a minute or two, I offer you this... audiomack.com/gavainuprich...

Any government worth its salt would be stopping Trump in his tracks. That is not happening. It’s up to us.

Donald Trump is a manifestly evil office-holder who is enacting a deeply unpopular and tyrannical series of disastrous orders. Flat-out defiance is needed. Officials need to ignore the orders. Citizens need to organize the biggest collective tax resistance movement, and general strikes now.

Not an inauguration. A usurpation by lies and deceit. Evil has risen. There are days and reasons for legitimate insurrection, defiance. Let us not squander more time and let Trump get the jump. Plan your participation in the resistance. The battle has started.

May the holidays of winter kindle a warm fire of joy in your hearts…

Resistance requires dedicated and disciplined practice and work of thrust and parry maneuvers, mutual aid networks to supplant people’s dependency chains (and therefore our vulnerabilities). It needs cohesive and orchestrated strategy. There is precious little time. Every day counts. 1/2

I am a middle-aged white man, and I am enraged that other white men are seeking to dismantle structures of safety, decency, kindness, respect, love, compassion, and care. I will not stand by while they terrorize the world.
