US SENATE VOTES 51-47 TO OVERTURN TRUMP’S ‘LIBERATION DAY’ GLOBAL TARIFFS — FOUR REPUBLICANS JOIN DEMOCRATS; MOVE IS MOSTLY SYMBOLIC AS WHITE HOUSE LIKELY TO VETO

Despite it all, I'm feeling good.

They're getting desperate and making mistakes.

More people and institutions are resisting.

They can still do a lot of damage, but we'll win.

The responses this post is getting, combined with the animating grievances of large swathes of politics, has convinced me we need a kind of society wide PSA about how Buying Things Is Optional.

You don’t think video games should cost $100? Don’t buy the videogame. Buying Things Is Optional.

Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM/NSPM-7 MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE                THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Ok, I'm popping out of my NatSec hole because I see people passing this around and hyperventilating and going "this is so bad" and like, you know how a people are always saying "you can't really do a whole lot with an executive order?" Take that and multiply it by about ten for a NSPM.

RFK Jr. is objectively pro-disease, pro-illness and pro-child death.

and, again: if they can prosecute you for going to No Kings, *they will prosecute you for something else*. you should put your name on the list because you have a right to do it and you can definitely stand in front of God and country and say you went to No Kings bc you believe it's your right

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence.
