I'm going to ask again: is it lawful to assemble outside a Federal Building? If not, why not? If so, on what authority are police not only clearing away protestors from that space but using unprovoked violence to do so? I'll take my answer off the air.....

Violence begets violence, but we are nearing the point at which we need to show the other side that we will match them life for life. I fear that our refusal to do so is only emboldening them to continue and to escalate reich-wing violence. They think us weak, passive, scared, and vulnerable.

Winston-Salem, NC (Combination of Pride march, Flag Day, and No Kings protest. Absolutely wonderful in all ways.)

Post 3 of 3 Let's not even ask if he would want to "work with" Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Putin. He just doesn't get it. And worse, with his usual "centrist" arrogance, he believes that it's the rest of us who don't get it. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Post 2 of 3 Instead, it's all about how we should work with Trump and Rethugnicans to "get things done". Would he urge that we work with Erdogan if we were in Turkey? How about Orban in Hungary? Or Kavelashvili in Georgia? Or Bolsonaro in Brazil?

Post 1 of 3 Read Mr. Nellis' bio at the bottom of his substack. He's an inside-the-beltway, play-the-game, centrist who has the audacity to claim that Whitmer was right all along. Notice he never speaks of Trump and Rethugnicans as authoritarians, as traitors, and undoing Democracy itself. I

post 4 of 4 We must create and employ a Resistance fully suited to the dangers we face--not only street protests, spoken and written dissent, voter registration, economic boycotts/stoppages, lawsuits, and other non-violent means. We must be ready to take back our government by force if need be.

post 3 of 4 The image that I reprinted in post #1 is yet another bright neon red flag warning that that assumption is increasingly likely to be false. If it is false, it will be too late. I have urged before, and urge again, that we not wait for the worst to happen.

Post 2 of 4: That faith assumes that the political and legal processes (and the values and conventions) needed for free and fair elections and a peaceful transfer of power are not purposely destroyed by the dictatorial regime. This assumption is doubtful given the goal of Rethugnicans.

Post 1 of 4: Many people are waiting, hoping, that we can yet transfer power peacefully back to the good folks in future elections. I understand their faith in something that has worked so well for so long. But over and over I have pointed out that that fath may now be dangerously misplaced.

Post 3 of 3 Propaganda and systematic lying that disrupts the culture and society, so that people no longer trust the social and cultural order? Killings in the streets? Entrenched dictatorial control that no longer can be overcome by protest, dissent, and resistance?

Post 2 of 3 Innocent people kidnapped and sent into forced slavery in other countries? Wealth inequality to the point at which there isn't enough money to continue to run the country?

Post 1 of 3: We might disagree about when our country declines too far to be able to recover, but surely we agree that there is a tipping point somewhere. What is your "red line", the point at which you believe we are no longer able to correct the decline?

post 5 of 5 You irrelevant, worthless fop. Your name will not go down in history; but if it is ever mentioned, it will be as a spineless, arrogant weasel who did his part to unleash the Apocalypse. See you on the front line. Or no, come to think of it, you WON'T be there.

Post 4 of 5 Want to sacrifice yourself for our country? At least you can wash your shame with your blood and your life. Otherwise, you're just a talking head, and guillotines have been shown to remove the heads of those responsible for gross injustice.

post 3 of 5 (I needed more than 3 posts after all) We don't need your analysis, painfully late as it is. And we don't need a Pre-Trumper styling himself as a clarion voice for this time. You never will be. Want to help? Pick up a weapon; serve in the shock troops we'll need in this bloody fight.

Post 2 of 3 Listen, David, you sniveling, cowardly runt. You helped birth this monster, you and everyone on the "right". You are directly responsible in some part for where the country is now. And yet you still will not acknowledge your responsibility for the evil path that we are now going down.

Post 1 of 3: For those who don't know, David Brooks wrote an op-ed in the NYT on April 18, 2025: What’s Happening Is Not Normal. America Needs an Uprising That Is Not Normal. Read it. And then read my following comment to him that I post here on Bluesky.
