One of the big questions with coups is who the military sides with. It's a big question now. Does the firing of a whole lot of leadership make the military now more malleable, or does it anger and alienate a lot of people down the chain of command? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

it would probably be good for blue state governors to start openly talking about their plans to protect citizens if and when Trump deploys the military domestically I have been arguing there needs to be a pro-democracy pro-Constitution govt. in exile for this reason We need a counter to the regime

It's very important to not lose hope, and to NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE. Heck, even the Geneva Convention requires soldiers to disobey unlawful orders, so why shouldn't we apply that principle to these so called "executive orders"?

When people show you who they are, believe them. Those who lack the moral backbone to stand against violations of humanity in one realm likely won’t in others. In this endgame, these are the moments that reveal what people are truly made of—whether their actions align with their professed values.

Let’s make these Republican senators regret every vote, every betrayal, and every second they choose Musk and Trump over us. Let’s make them answer for every provision of Project 2025 that comes to pass. And come November of next year, let’s replace them: secure.actblue.com/donate/payba...

If we survive the next few years, the US needs a top-to-bottom overhaul of its public education and media landscape. Teach critical thinking and media literacy instead of pumping out factory workers, restore the Fairness Doctrine, and break up the media/entertainment conglomerates.
