David Brooks: America Needs a Mass Movement— Now To defeat Trump, build a counter social movement: where we are, where we should be heading, what is admirable, what is disgraceful. David Brooks

The restoration of democracy in America will take planning, patience, perseverance, non-violence, and luck; it will not happen in 1-2 election cycles. Here is a link to an essay by David Brooks that is worth reading: ihaveanidea.us/massmovement...

While everybody is thrilled that the genocide has stopped, we should repeatedly remind the public that Netanyahu decided to murder tens of thousands of innocents, including women and children, the vast majority of whom had nothing to do with Hamas. He must be tried for his crimes against humanity.

“Camp Reichenbach,” Embroidered Handkerchief, by Agatha Abrahamina (Atie) Siegenbeek van Heukelom (1913-2002)

cotton and silk, 1944

After being imprisoned in Amsterdam, Atie Siegenbeek was transferred through Camp Vught (Netherlands) and then Ravensbrück to the Reichenbach concentration camp. There, she was forced to work in an underground electronics factory. Recording these daily camp scenes, embroidered on a wash cloth, was an act of resistance. The scenes, accompanied by captions, criticized the camp regime. It was crucial that she not be caught with this handkerchief by a camp guard.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

America is deeply polarized.

There are only 3 political paths: status quo, political compromise, or an amicable divorce.

The first two have proven to be dead ends.

The unchosen path—divorce-is our only solution. Perhaps it will make all the difference.

Maybe it’s time to eliminate federal taxes completely. We in the blue states are tired of paying money to the federal government and getting much, much less in return. We would do better on our own. Let the red state fend for themselves. IHaveAnIdea.us

Given Trump’s threats and actions against blue states, isn’t it time that the blue State governors seriously talk about having it citizens refused to pay federal taxes.

Violence is when men in masks, kidnap people off the streets, lock them up, prohibit them from having their day in court, and keep them i prison until they are extradited to another country. This is not the America I grew up in. It’s not the America I want for my grandkids.

Trump has extorted millions of dollars from Americans, American businesses, foreign companies, and countries. Has @propublica.org or anyone done an accounting of how much money has been collected, and followed the money into its final bank account? How much ends up in Trump’s pocket?
