I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

"The sleight of hand here is obvious. Over the years, Trump’s open lawlessness has drawn stern condemnations from a host of staid, nonpartisan groups. Trump allies then turn around and argue that proves the groups are partisan hacks."

The DOGE gameplan, at heart, leverages the threat of doing outrageous, destructive things, to cause an immediate financial or political reaction, that can be cashed in on, no matter what the reactions are. These people are consolidating wealth and taking power as they need to make it happen.
