"No taxation without representation" was the chant of Americans who demanded freedom and resisted the corrupt, oppressive rule of the British monarchy. Will today's majority stand up against fascism?
We the People fought the Revolutionary War of their lifetime armed with muskets and cannon against the great British Army & Navy - and won
We the People are fighting the Revolutionary War of our lifetime against the Sadist 47 + his Cruel Cabal (Vance, Thiel, Miller, Vought, et al) + his Criminally Complicit Congress + his "SCOTUS on speed dial" - and we will win

The US government -Trump - has bankrupted ICE, you're right. That's why he needed this bill passed by today. Par for the course, for someone who managed to bankrupt casinos over and over.
You've inspired ideas for things to do. Visit your local clinic or nursing home and ask them how the cuts in Medicaid will affect them. Go to your local senior community center and ask people how cuts in food aid and Medicaid/Medicare affect them. Ask how they respond to the fact that social security will still be taxed even though the government tells them it won't be. Then go to your city council or commissioners court meetings and speak about it during public comments. Get it on the record. Maybe word will get around.
When systems fail, communities survive through organized preparation and mutual aid.

It is too late. The military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned about has become only stronger through the years has only become stronger through the years. It has fully engulfed both major parties. The current and past presidents fully embraced the genocidal war in Gaza. They can't go morally lower than that. The bombing of habitations and shelters and hospitals, forced starvation, the killing of healthcare workers and journalists are all part of the plan. If you kill brave and dedicated doctors less patients can be treated. First conflict where outside journalists are excluded and local journalists are targeted so as the word doesn't go out. Humanitarian workers are targeted because they are keeping people alive. Every time the settler kills commits another atrocity BBC says the IDF are investigating or that could be a war crime.
Everything Trump is always right in character. The specifics are always distressing, but the only thing that surprises me is that the American people are tolerating the MAGA/Trump crap. And I guess I naively thought Americans valued what so many have died for. To be fair, the corporate news media is under his thumb. I am involved in resistance with indivisible.org. Standing against them in unity is not all that difficult and in fact, I'm having fun. Get on board. Do something.
I just reread Nobel Prize winning Sinclair Lewis' 90-year-old novel of the same name. It is almost as if Trump read it and was following it to establish his dictatorshop.
Yes we can prevail!
Yes we will prevail!

Thanks Diane!!!!
You're welcome, Susan!
People like us do things like this
Maybe we will see winning the war in our lifetime; maybe the next generation will get to see it
Either way, we will keep on fighting this Revolutionary War.
This is a generational fight. I’m 63 at a tough time to be that age. I hope I live to see the death of American fascism.

Thank you both!
I don’t understand how/why our military is violating the Constitution that they are take an oath to protect? They need to stand down & make a stance!
Our country was built by immigrants! And, unless you are 100% Native American, you are from immigrant stock!

Glenn, what about the illegal rulings by the conservatives on the Supreme Court, how do we indict, and convict them!!

Great for the 4th.
I frankly think all ICE are bigots and seem to really enjoy what they are doing. Masked because don’t want their neighbors to know what they do.
At 77never thought I would be protesting for democracy but that’s what I am doing to make good trouble.
Amen Christine!

Waj, you said the phrase "It can't happen here."
