Good question. There’s no way to do this without risk. It’s a nonviolent attempt to create change—history shows those efforts are more successful than violent ones. Each person must ask: is what’s coming worse than losing a job?

What the fascist didn't have in the 20th century, the highly technical organization and categorization of people with prediction models and response strategies. It's why they're scraping all our data.
Prepare to be threatened.

Why won't people as influential as you talk daily about *General $trike? Is that line too far? I respect your opposition, but with the law being bypassed, a strike is the only non-violent option left — and you still won’t say it! WTF?
In the US, if the notorious won’t say it, it’s not real!

Standing behind the bombastic (Stephan Miller, etc.), there are soft-spoken, smiling, not licker, and system stooges.
The men who would bow their heads solemnly, clutching their cross, as women were led to the stake. They'd discuss up the circle of mushrooms near her home and her cat as proof. 🍄🐈⬛️

When there is no due process, there is no Fourth Amendment against search and seizure.
Why?
They don't need evidence because it's not going in front of a judge.
Now we eat the fruit of the poison tree.

They put handcuffs on him. They were probably private security. And they were interfering with the senator doing his job. Charge them with everything you can!

When your elected officials aren't allowed to represent you, what's left is rule by decree, with its unintended consequences!

One of the lessons of Trivdar Soros, surviving in Nazi occupied Hungary. You have to remember that ordinary rules don't apply. There are many in the House of Representatives who remain willfully ignorant. They look to the past instead of to the now.

When you will defend infants being stripped away from their parents, some can never be reunited as happened during his first term. Yeah, they don't have any limits.

Thanks again, from someone who has different political views but appreciates and respects what you have done and are doing.

It's not my place to weigh in on him deleting an anonymous Grindr account attached to a burner phone used only during conventions. These are vile, unsubstantiated, secondhand rumors, and I will not stoop the level of commenting on such scandalous gossip. Do you hear me? In other words...

Every stubbed toe proves a worldview falsified by fact. Every leader who lost a war had the same.
Mind speaks to the body not in language but in felt impulses—anyone moved by a movie knows those impulses can arise from fiction. Real feelings, false narratives. But with movies, we know!

This reminds me of a dung beetle, 🪲 some shit you they can't make a house out of because it's just too damn watery to roll around.

Which has more power—Google or Estonia? Amazon or Latvia? When corporations outweigh nations and operate as authoritarian structures, we face the same problem as with states: concentrated power, rule by decree, and unintended consequences—especially for those considered "external."

If it's been awhile since you watched Natural Born Killers, you need to look at it again for the media interaction.
"If it bleeds, it leads," is cliche in that industry for a reason.

Oh yeah, I forgot, we're supposed to have a hurricane machine 🤣, that's pretty badass.
Wouldn't it be nice?

Cruelty itself should be a reason to stop. There's more...
Spain's Carlos II showed the “success” of enforced loyalty—no heretics, no dissent—the land was ruined, depopulated, and starving. Even the feeble king couldn’t get enough to eat. That’s the end result of absolute power.
That is foolish.

Refusing to work with anyone who's even slightly off from one’s own views is self-defeating. It’s like a progressive treating a liberal as toxic—political untouchability. A kind of conservative-style caste system. And the scorn always gets personal.
MAGA, while tying nooses, sees all of us as one!

The repugnant inhumane treatment, no food, no water, terrorizing, snatching parents at work, so kids come home to an empty house. And what is this going to do to that farmer? They are destroying their business by attacking their labor with no alternative.

Can we start talking about *General $trike daily so it becomes real in the minds of people. The courts are overwhelmed and undermined. Anyone can participate in a strike by doing nothing! It's a shutdown. We've done it for Covid-19. It's a nonviolent power move.
If the French can do it, so can we.

& deny healthcare to a woman suffering ectopic pregnancy when no such fetus has ever been viable. It shows we're dealing with nihilism because it denies what exists, like facts and knowledge. When what exists has no meaning, it makes no difference if the nihilism is from religion or despair.

Why are we not talking about *General $trike every day??? Must blood flow like rivers before we stand up?
Is it only the French who will stand up?

When the foolish and the vicious unite and become a powerful force with which we must reckon.

How much blood must spill before Americans talk about a *General $trike? For every protest win, rights are attacked elsewhere. The courts have power but are both undermined and overwhelmed. A general strike is non-violent power—and better than the alternative. Anybody can join by doing nothing.

The lawyers that stood up and unified against this subjection and those partners that have left should consider themselves exempted from lawyer jokes!

Inhumane treatment is evil.
She’s judges an entire group without specific evidence—even though members of that group have provided her with goods and services throughout her time in the U.S. The ingratitude is especially shameful, given that many work for her corporate donors.
