This is a constitutional crisis. A lawless president who defies court orders.

Trump thinks he's a king above the law. Last night, a federal judge ordered him to stop deportations under his outrageous use of the Alien Enemies Act—but he did it anyway. Now, Venezuelans are being held in Bukele’s El Salvador mega-prison for at least a year.

But beneath them, the ground stirs. The grass roots find their voice- Lead, or be trampled!
At a min.
Though it will likely take more than that, a lot more than that.

Not much useful can be done by any normal means
Legitimate power requires the peoples' ongoing consent, including between elections
Americans have overthrown their government before
No history book wrongs them

Not just the stock market.
Our democratic republic is failing fast & most Americans are sleepwalking through it.
We have a castrated Congress, corrupted SCROTUS, and an out of control president who is doing just what we thought he would.
So, why didn't anyone prepare during the lame duck?
We need some leader @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @maxwellfrost.bsky.social @govpritzker.illinois.gov etc. to start organizing the resistance by skill set & location.
Drones, fired govt experts, radio/comms, logistics, etc.
Europe, the UK, Canada, & Mexico seem to be better at getting their shit together.
Probably because this isn't their first rodeo.
Roman invasions, Charles I, Bloody Mary, Pope Innocent, Caligula, William the Conqueror, Iron Curtain, etc.
We need a brief to arrest a king!

We had so many chances to do the right thing and we ended up doing the far right thing.
If we simply move on the rule of law is dead. Contempt of court, congress act on this now. Stop focusing on
Schumer this is the constitutional crisis.
We are screwed if that is indeed the case.
And what are the courts, and we, the country going to do to stop this?
