The Pen in Politics and Social Movements
Throughout history, the pen has played a pivotal role in shaping political landscapes and social movements. Consider the following examples:
The United States' Declaration of Independence, penned by Thomas Jefferson.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Nelson Mandela.

I am totally flabbergasted and in shock as to how the Trump voters cannot see how they have been gaslighted by Trump and his minions. I know this forum is primarily for those of like mind but hope is some brave (or disgruntled) Republican supporters may tune in and learn how they have been duped.

This disturbs me immensely as it should all of America. With the White House controlling organizations and the flow of health information we are all vulnerable and at risk for any and all threats to our health, our lives and our rights as sovereign citizens. Be aware & speak out.

Does this mean the value of existing pennies will increase?

How about we tax the rich instead?!!! They will get by, the poor and low income people will not. Republicans have no conscience, morality, integrity or heart. Basically they do not care about Americans even their own constituency.

Please address the “unitary executive theory”. This will totally upend our democracy if the conservative legal movement and Donald Trump are successful in re-interpreting and applying Article II and the vesting clause as unlimited presidential power.

Been reading this one. So timely, especially since our democracy is being taken over by the oligarchic constituency of Donald Trump. Just watched a satirical documentary on How To Be Tyrant. It is uncanny how close DT is implementing the tyrant’s playbook.

Trump is once more demonstrating how much of a moron and liar he is. Trying once again to try and spin the story for his own agenda. Din’t listen America! You are smarter than that!

This is one of the stupidest actions Trump could do, especially in light of the recent plane/helicopter collision in Washington DC this week.

I agree. Trump’s reasons are purely egoistic and will launch an oligarchic tyranny until it becomes a police state with a dictator ruling us and our fate. Do you have any doubts? It is NOT America and democracy as usual.

How much more of Trump’s fascistic acts are we going to take? He is absolutely ruining our government and country. Soon we will be without the Constitution and the rights it protects and the sovereignty of a government of the people, by the people and for the people. We better step up or lose it all

A huge majority of the GOP and the supporters of Trump welcome the changes implemented from Project 2025. This is the scary part! How quickly the people of the United States can turn to embrace a tyrannical system of government with its corrupt leaders and undemocratic principles and laws.

It is autocratic an authoritarian dictatorship. Didn’t I hear him say he would be s dictator in day one only?!!! What happened with that? He will get his karma. Count on it!

We are witnessing the vile and unconscionable acts of a demented criminal president who actually believes his actions are ok.

And here we go again, Trump weaponizing and politicizing the Department of Justice. An act reminiscent of Hitler and his aggression against his opposition. I for one fear for our democracy.

Hitler actually executed his opposition leaders, remember the Night of the Long Knives?!!

The hypocrisy of the administration and its leaders is astounding! Why cannot his supporters see through this?!!!

So who’s weaponizing and politicizing the DOJ now?!!!

But, do the MGATS realize that when they vote in a tyrannical government it will affect them too? Their rights and freedoms will be curtailed or taken away along with all other Non/MAGATS, because that is what fascists do. Check your history books!

Can we not impose violations of the Emollients Act again? Why do we continue to accept Trump’s violations of our laws?
comment in response to

And how can this be in our government’s interests to have an administration with carte blanche to be corrupt and rob the American people of their government?!!! We need to take back our sovereignty and demand oversight.

Trump’s actions are so dishonorable. Just shows how weak he is that he cannot take criticism or opposition. His way is NOT the right way. I fear we are doomed to tyranny.

Where is the separation of church and state here?
Constitutional Amendment I:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion…”. Using taxpayer dollars to pay for religious affiliated schools is unconstitutional. The Supreme should deny this claim.

No, we (Dems) cannot keep doing the same thing and expect different result. These are contemporary, IT times that require knowledgeable, adept, tech savvy committed progressives. Our democracy will die without their involvement, commitment and support to defeat Trump & the GOP.

Spirit is taking on a role of free expression police. Are they not aware of our citizens’ rights to life, liberty and our pursuit of happiness. For one it would not please me or make me happy to fly Spirit with its regulatory overreach.

Yea, get rid of the federal agency and gave it privatized by more of Trump’s billionaires so they can skim off the taxes paid and short change the government so it will fall short of the revenue source, AND then raise taxes to make up for the shortfall.

Why do you say it is good that Trump is president?
comment in response to

This is from the Project 2025 playbook that Trump denied knowing about. Maybe true, but there is the fact that Trump has loaded up his cabinet and staff with Project 2025 authors and supporters. Are we surprised he is implementing it to destroy American democracy?!!!

For all those global warming and climate change deniers, get real. The evidence is overwhelming!

What are the costs of these “relocations” in taxpayer dollars? Having worked for the government for over twenty years, I have seen first hand the costs incurred over and over again. I think those unnecessary expenses could be better used for improving our government system, not shuffling people.

Plutocracy is a form of government or society where:
1. It is ruled or controlled by people of great wealth or income.
2. Government policies often benefit the wealthy at the expense of the lower classes.
3. Wealthy people use their wealth to rule or influence decisions.

Let’s be clear…the GOP is absolutely centered and gets its direction from Donald Trump. It is equivalent to a personality cult. Whereas, the Democratic party centers its policies, principles and plans around the preservation, protection, and defense of the Constitution. It is not person- entered.
