What's insane is people think it's insane. The revolutionary war started when the Brits came after privately owned artillery (you know-- cannons), rifles, and ammunition. It's not anything new.

29.03.2025 12:28 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0A portion of John Quincy Adams' Amistad argument before SCOTUS: "I will not recur to the Declaration of Independence--your Honors have it implanted in your hearts--but one of the grievous charges brought against George III. was, that he had made laws for sending men beyond seas for trial. That was one of the most odious of those acts of tyranny which occasioned the American revolution. The whole of the reasoning is not applicable to this case, but I submit to your Honors that, if the President has the power to do it in the case of Africans, and send them beyond seas for trial, he could do it by the same authority in the case of American citizens. By a simple order to the marshal of the district, he could just as well seize forty citizens of the United States, on the demand of a foreign minister, and send them beyond seas for trial before a foreign court."
Was just reading John Quincy Adams' oral arguments before SCOTUS in the Amistad case and this part seems, uh, pretty relevant

Don't be fooled.
DOGE and Elon Musk are after the personal data of Americans, government contracts, and financial systems. They are not saving anything. Few billions are claimed as savings from stopping essential programs. This is not saving.

It's disingenuous to bitch about egg prices. We know it has nothing to do with the administration...
Except that the NIH and CDC were defunded/silenced and birdflu is nowhere in the news cycle.
But seriously, those egg prices aren't "his" fault.
Let's keep a level playing field, fellas.
Dems/Goblue.org,
Quit sending me fundraising emails if you are going to continue doing NOTHING to organize and stop the current tyranny. Take some action or make some plan and I'll consider it.
This is why you lost the election: lack of *effective* communication from the Admin to the ground.
Since JD Vance's post that was reposted by Musk Re: Ignoring the judicial branch, SM has gotten-- Spicy.
The political discourse is hardly discourse anymore, it's just unveiled threats.
Dems need to organize & do something bc people are getting sick of waiting & they're scared. Not a good combo.

There needs to be a protest group for moderates. I went to the protest at my state capital last week and was immediately turned off by a Soviet flag flying and chants related to Palestine. Like I get that some of these groups have experience with organizing protests, but that's not why I'm there.

Deploying the military in our own cities under shady Consitutional theory will be a point of no return.
