The 250th anniversary of the beginning of the American Revolution is less than a month away. Rhetorically and symbolically, this moment is set up so cleanly it's difficult to believe.

The Dem establishment is choking here completely. The base is dialed to 11. The left should be trying to fill this vacuum and offer leadership by hook or by crook. There may never be an opportunity like this again. We should be outlibbing the libs. Saying the way out is through political economy.

Sharing the objections to King George III should be useful
We had a pretty good Year 2000 all the way up to November. for instance.
1993 was pretty good...
Revolution would be justified, although perhaps not obtainable without a heavy cost.
April 20th. Hitler's birthday.
Trump's first EO on Jan 20th established a State of Emergency that is still in effect.
That order requires DHS & DOD to report on April 20th if they believe the Insurrection Act of 1807 is warranted & should be declared.
Bummer.

Can the ouroboros save us?
Everyone from Joan Baez to Gerald Ford
agree with all your points
The highest political ground imo is our freedoms and safety
Trump has no feel for our freedoms + doesn't care if we live or die
Autocracy/democracy less concrete
Tearing down his brand can be pretty straightforwardly based on the grievances in the declaration

Yes, I have strong feelings on this; my mom had that as our family flag. I have the old tattered one that hung in every studio she had; I have ancestors who fought under that flag. I'm not good at the physical fighting, but I'm working at it too, in the ways that I can. ✊

WHAT DO WE DO???
this all comes down to the money, we either stop its flow long enough to make them listen or we end capitalism altogether, either way it starts & ends w/ the money https://bsky.app/profile/t0ussaint.bsky.social/post/3lc4lcm5qnk2q
