The fear is passing. In the last few days, I have been meeting with many people fired up to stop Trump, Musk, Vance and Putin, ranging in ages from 18 to 83. Their courage and energy inspires me. This is only the beginning. The better the weather gets, the more we are going to take to the streets

What Conservatives don't get is that I have a following among students and former students not because I brainwash them, but because I believe in them!

Wherever we are, we need to challenge or delay every one of this administrations initiatives, sometimes overtly, sometimes covertly, sometimes in the courts, sometimes in the streets, sometimes through sabotage, sometimes through time honored techniques of bureaucratic delay.

The diplomatic historian, George Kennan, once said that "the Vietnam War was the most single disastrous occurance in the first two hundred years US history." Will the second presidency of Donald Trump top this? Inquring minds want to know.

We just saw a hero meet two cowards-- the President and Vice President of the United States. Abraham Lincoln and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our greatest wartime presidents, must be rolling over in their graves, or looking on in disgust, in reaction to Trump and Vance's performance

The Resistance consists of Three Groups Provocateurs: People who get in the face of the fascists and dare them to attack. Organizers: People who organize mass protests like today's Economic Boycott Non-Compliers. People who like what they are doing and won't change unless forced to-the majority

Today is Economic Boyott Day! I am teaching my classes at Fordham on ZOOM so I don't have to leave my house! And I am not accessing Facebook or Instagram as that is part of the protest as well. This is the first of many steps necessary to punish the Oligarchs Behind the Coup!

A Nation of Informers Trump is trying to turn the US into East Germany. First ICE wants people to betray their undocumented neighbors, now the Department of Education invites people to report teachers and schools who practice DEI or teach gender and race in ways they have banned!

The battle for the soul of this country is not going to be won from the top down. It will be grassroots activism that saves the day. Be part of this righteous movement. It is going to be one of the great causes of this century! The powers that be, even those on our side, vastly underestimate us.

FACT! If enough people refuse to obey Donald Trump's "laws," there won't be enough people to enforce them, expecially since a good many of those who voted for him are couch potatoes who only have enough energy to go to the refrigerator or turn on Fox News.

What unites Trump and Musk, other than greed and lust for power, is delight in inflicting cruelty on defenseless people as well as their perceived enemies. That is the essence of fascism.

Save the date for this program! Think of it as the Bronx's version of DEI because the Bronx's unmatched creativity came from the mixing of cultures in its multiracial, multiethnic neighborhoods!

Yesterday, for the first time, I cursed out someone from a large organization for refusing to recognize that a COUP was in progress and acting as though everything was normal. This will probably not be the last time I do this.

Every Day Is April Fools Day Under Trump Yesterday, when I posted that Google Maps showed Canada as part of the US and listed New York City as “Trump Towers,” a bunch of people believed me and asked for proof. This shows that under Trump, every day is April Fools Day!

The Kendrick Lamar Moment Although I didn’t get what Kendrick Lamar was trying to do on first viewing, his halftime show may go down in history as the most important single act of resistance in the first month of the Trump/ Musk Presidency

We Are Waking Up! The Anti-Trump, Anti-Musk Resistance is turning into a vibrant, multilayed movement which is sometimes subtle, sometimes deceptive, sometimes relentless, and sometimes provocative and in your face. Three weeks ago, I felt lonely. Now I feel part of something big and growing.

If President Trump issues an executive order instructing everyone to pull down their pants when they see an American flag, does that mean you have to obey it? If not, why should you obey an executive order telling you how and what to teach?

This COUP can be slowed down by massive resistance to the most outrageous policies, supplemented by lawsuits and actions by members of Congress. Now is the time to take big risks to preclude having to take giant risks later.

I applaud Kendrick Lamar for giving us a master class in subversion, even if I didn't get 75 percent of what he was trying to communicate when I watched his performance. But then again, I have often had to read books, or see movies, several times, to get their full meaning.

Disobey their orders Sue them Boycott them Bombard them with phone calls and texts March in front of their houses as well as their headquarters Resist deportations And call them fascists because that is what they are. They declared war on us. Time to declare war back, using non violent resistance.

The COUP Huge numbers of dedicated civil servants, people with priceless expertise, are being forced out of their jobs. This indeed is a COUP, with disastrous consequences not only for those individuals and their families, but for those who depend on their services.
