Always worth a re-run!

That was cold...Mate.

Take a bow, sir. We salute you.

For clarity: Resistance is not about violence. Resistance is about removing or disabling the means by which this administration is torturing the constitution and wreaking havoc on the citizens of the US (not to mention citizens of the world who happen to live and work here).

There are some gems of resistance hidden in plain sight. The nun who removed the Nazi's (distributor cap?) in The Sound of Music immediately springs to mind. But another, harder to spot method was simply shifting or removing the rotor. What do you know that you can put to work now? #resist

During WWII, "targeted bombing" was used to break down the supply chain in order to hamstring the Nazi war machine. Ball bearings were widely necessary to make weapons and vehicles. So? Bomb ball bearing factories. It is time to start being similarly strategic about this administration. 🧵

Now that is how to teach history!

For clarity, the GOP is not "amoral." They are not unaware of the evil they do. They are "immoral," as they are fully aware that their behavior damages others, is outside all appropriate behavior patterns, and is indefensible in any normal era. That is the point. Depravity is the point.

The desperately unqualified Secretary of Education may be confused, but the rest of America knows the right answer: Teaching about the Tulsa Race Massacre is not DEI. It is teaching American history. History is uncomfortable for you? Really? Then teach it so we don't repeat it.

I beg to differ. There are many things we can do that do not require violence. The Norwegians recognized that taking ball bearings out of the supply chain stalled the Nazi war machine. We must become similarly strategic. What small parts make their oligarchy machine function?
