Engineer, Blue Dot Dweller. Was freaked out by US swing to authoritarianism under Bush Jr. Now it’s not clear our Democracy will even be that good again within my lifetime.

J.Free literally wrote the book on political violence leading up to the Civil War. Pay attention to what she says here because she knows what the hell she's talking about.

Whatever that line is, Vance has crossed it. He should not get the respect given to an honest participant in our democracy

Protest is an important part of the fight against fascism. You’ll feel better and everyone will know Democracy isn’t going down without a fight.

“Two days after catastrophic floods roared through Central Texas, the FEMA did not answer nearly two-thirds of calls to its disaster assistance line…The lack of responsiveness happened because the agency had fired hundreds of contractors at call centers…”

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.
Will we listen to his words today?
Abducted
No criminal history

At this point, one has to assume anyone resembling ICE is in the process of violating someone’s constitutional rights. So what is a bystander to do?

“At each obstacle, after each catastrophe, the turn to violence becomes that much swifter, the harsh decisions that much easier. If not stopped, by Congress or the courts, the Trump revolution will follow that logic too.”
Indeed.

When Nashville SC defeated Charlotte FC on Saturday, the supporters section lacked its usual verve and had visible gaps throughout the risers.
The reason was explained in a pair of large white banners.
