Now that the Black Panthers have reformed, it’s time for the Gray Panthers to get together and stand aside by side with them to defend our neighborhoods.
All of us who are between 55 and death, who have experienced wars and traitors in office, need to stand up and be counted.
We outnumber MAGA.
The U.S. Supreme Court has just issued a shocking 6–3 emergency ruling that could permanently change how constitutional rights are protected in America. In Trump v. Cassa, Inc., the Court quietly ended the use of nationwide injunctions—a legal tool that for decades allowed one judge to block a law across all 50 states. youtu.be/Hk1UxlhkR…
This regime has declared war on the American people. Our rights have been suspended, armed secret police roam the streets kidnapping and killing, they want to deploy troops in Democratic states, Congress and the SCOTUS are irrelevant… How much more before we fight back? youtu.be/8XMMDgtb8…
I’ll be 72 in a couple of weeks, and I’ve become aware of a bunch of failures of my system. Worn out parts and incomplete instruction sets. The coding in my DNA is losing bits here and there. I just had memory testing at the VA, and while the psychiatrist assured me that I’m generally average mentally with men in my age group (70-dead). There are a few areas where I’m still above average and none where I’m below, but overall my brain is working the same way as other 70 year old men.
Listening to Tom Homan, which I don’t recommend, I realize he thinks “hateful rhetoric”, once known as freedom of speech, is worthy of death at the hands of his secret police. They want us to acquiesce, to accept their abuse and control, to not call them out for their crimes. The hell we will. I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
We need to acknowledge and prepare for that day soon when fascism here and worldwide will make the technology we all use a threat to our lives.
To use a cell phone or the Internet could require you to acquiesce to monitoring or be subject to punishment.
Surveillance everywhere, in everything.
Fury and disgust. Where’s my emoji for that mood? Because that’s where I am and where I’m going to stay until fascism is defeated forever or I die.
The fantasy storyline repeated by every member of this regime regarding the murder of Renee Goode indicates exactly how the future will unfold every time a dissident, a protester, an innocent in the wrong place at the wrong time, is disappeared or killed by the regime’s Gestapo.
More innocent Venezuelans killed and injured in another illegal strike against their country. Military attacks on another nation’s military can be considered a declaration of war without the authorization of Congress as required by the Constitution. Trump is a domestic and international terrorist. At least when we went after Noriega we didn’t have a criminal in charge of operations. I wonder how much it will cost Maduro to buy a pardon?
When Hitler came to power he improved the lives of the average German. He bought their loyalty.
Trump failed to do that. If he had placated the average American, they might have ignored his abuse of others. He didn’t buy us off.
So we have no reason to be loyal.
Every time I consider our insignificance to the universe I’m overwhelmed with awe and dread.
On January 1st, don’t make a resolution, join the revolution.
I honestly don’t know what we’re going to do about the third of the nation who is fine with fascism, wants white supremacy, anticipates evangelical intrusion into every aspect of our lives.
They have no desire to assimilate into a democratic republic and will resort to violence to get their way.
We’re seeing capitalism displace democracy as the fundamental principle guiding the country. Everything must generate a profit for a few men at the top of the consolidated monopolies. The rest of us work for them.
We got into this mess because we lied to ourselves about what a wonderful country this was, all the while lynching blacks, putting Japanese into internment camps, accepting white male supremacy, even kidding ourselves that we were Christians. We fucked around, and now we’re finding out.
Unlawful orders and defenses to Article 92 and Article 90 According to UCMJ Law Article 92 An order is unlawful if it violates the Constitution, U.S. laws, or military regulations and it directs a service member to commit a crime or unethical act. An unlawful order is a directive issued by someone in a position of authority that violates the law, a person’s rights, or ethical principles. Following such orders can have legal consequences for both the person giving the order and the one executing it.
Trump has eliminated the rule of law and instituted the rule of bribery, flattery, and oppression. We are being ruled by fools, liars and frauds. The truth no longer matters. I once took a non-expiring oath to defend this country against any domestic enemy, and that’s exactly what this regime is, and that’s exactly what I intend to do.
For hell’s sake, Kamala, please sue 60 Minutes over their edited interview with little Donnie Trump.
Play the game by their rules.
When Steve Bannon was asked about the 22nd Amendment he stated flatly that Trump will be the president (not “elected”, but “will be”) in 2028, he answered “we have a plan”.
He didn’t elaborate but I think we know what that plan is.
Start a domestic war then declare martial law.
You can say America is now a dictatorship, a fascist state, an oligarchy, the 4th Reich, but what you can’t call America is a democratic republic.
We’re no longer the “United States” either.
All that we were is gone.
Either we rebel and resist or we give up and comply.
There’s no middle ground.
