The dialectical progeny of Karl Marx and Antonio Gramsci, I reject common sense for good sense.
We live in a time of monsters, as the old gives way to the new. Don't be afraid of the monsters.

True. But none of the kidnapped were afforded due process.
Bring them all home.

One was an iconic and respected American poet, novelist, memoirist, essayist, playwright, filmmaker, educator and civil rights activist.
The other was a failed artist and genocidal maniac.
So why...
Oh. Angelou was a black woman.

It's simple. Remove FEMA and you get rid of emergencies.
You know what is unwarranted?
The kidnapping of people across America by ICE.

I posted this would happen earlier this week. I was being sarcastic. Damn.

Fairly well read ☺️ but thank you. From where I am, posting here is all I can do to help you there. Solidarity makes us all stronger than standing alone.

I took both from far greater writers than I will ever be. Shakespeare wrote the first, Pratchett the second.
I copy paste standing on the shoulders of giants.
Nicked that one as well... first attributed to Bernard of Chartres.
But thank you

As Pratchett writes "All the little angels rise up, rise up. All the little angels rise up high."

Who guards the guards?
You do. They work for you. If they do not, fire them.

Release all the kidnapped. No due process was afforded them. None are guilty. None have had a trial. Trump has done worse than George III - they have been transported across the sea straight to prison. There they are held.
No Justice, No Peace!

When the institutions of the state are turned against the people, that is state terrorism. As Vought said (albeit of federal workers) "We must terrorise them." When the branches of government cease to function constitutionally, it's time to change the government. Plant a new tree, a people's tree.

Innocent people's lives are being thrown away for a photo op...

Trump and those around him believe that everyone and everything around them are there to be used and abused.
They should be made to divest themselves of these outrageous opinions as soon as possible...

If she's on a photo op then she can't be in the office. No wonder they're happy.

Going out on a limb here but I am pretty sure Fox knew exactly how tariffs worked when they lied to their viewers.

Let's start with "Yes" and work back to "Who", "When", and "How".
Then what? Will Congress hold people to account?
Some in Congress will. Rhetorically. But that won't fix the problem of a system that puts profit before people.
To fix that requires systemic change.

Yep - 3.5 is a great target to aim at. But America has an opportunity to really make a fundamental change to its society. For that to happen, many more %s will be needed.

Democracy left the classroom and is on a field trip in the streets of America.
America today is the most democratic it has ever been.
School's out.

Yes. Thanks for cutting through the tangled webs.

You carry the Constitution with you. You protect the Constitution. You defend the Constitution. It is a document drawn up by those who had yet to win the war that would give it room to breathe and grow. It is the idea of a society that was born through struggle. Now you must hold it aloft.

I agree. Reaction dressed as patriotism. The response? Push harder. Organise wider. And bring unionised workers, those on the streets already, wider community groups - everyone - together. And each brings a friend.
Mass civil disobedience in a time of monsters.
Do not fear the monsters.
Resist.

Diidn't expect anything of him.
The only way to build effective resistance and stop these cuts is through organised labor resistance joining the wider movement. Grassroots organisations exist in the US labor movement, just as they do in wider society. The Federal Unionist Network is one of them.

Well Mr Scaramucci (do the fandango) the rich who own the majority of stocks (and who bought Trump the WH) were looking at a bull market that prevented buy back of stocks. Your "tariff plan" just created the biggest firesale in US history through a staged $9trillion crash and resulting bear market.

That's an intresting very Big Tent ticket. Policy-wise, who'd have to compromise most to keep it unified?

Looks bad unless you're buying back stocks at a bargain price. Then, well I guess you're chuckling to yourself and giving Don Trump his cut...

May I suggest an edit?
"No judge should have to issue a nationwide injunction to stop the president's unconstitutional abuse of power."
C'mon Mike, you swore an oath before your god to protect the Constitution of the United States, without caveat.
You are supposed to stop him, not the judges.

Why give them access to his contacts? I presume, from the article, no search warrant was provided. 4th Amendment contravened. Presumption of his guilt contravenes 6th Amendment. 14th Amendment contravened throughout his detention.

Moving public funds to private hands. It's been happening for decades. Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security are next. This policy was not invented by Trump.

There is certainly the concept of an integrated policy at the Donold level.
Problem is, the people making the strategic decisions are smarter, better organised and far more zealous.
Donold just signs the EOs. He does not write them.

Putting people before party will show the people which party will defend their interests. The political landscape has changed in America. The anti-oligarch movement was not built by the Democrats. It cannot be coopted by the Democrats. Don't ask for money or votes. Offer service and both will come.

Every day another choice. JANM chose not to bend the knee.
Choose to fight. Choose to care. Choose to embrace. Choose to include. Choose to welcome. Choose to resist.

Marches are great. They build confidence. They build communucation. They build cooperation.
Never since the 60s has America seen a movement like this.
It has been built at a grassroots level, bottom up.
Much more will be needed but the lines have been drawn.
Another world is possible!
