I gotta ask: Does anybody think this means shit? He's a felon, a rapist, philanderer, fraudster, con man...like a little pedophilia is going to hurt? MAGA thinks it's lies, Rs don't care, legal/judicial system corrupt and morally bankrupt. What's the weather gonna be?
I’m sure he did. But dead men tell no tales...unless they left an email trail.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

When "The Sound of Music" is shown, I suspect that as each Trump year passes, fewer Americans are cheering during this scene.

Take 'em for what they're worth. Silent protest may be the only thing we have to prevent a bloody future. I'll ride it for as long as I can.

My favorite: Carry an American flag. As the administration creates a fake emergency to justify a state crackdown, it's important to honor the values and vision of democracy for which we're advocating.

The American people are watching and once again if we behave in ways that can be misinterpreted, we’ll see this explained to the public in Republican campaign videos benefiting the very people who started this.
Wake up.
Vent at home.
In public practice discipline and self control.

2 Appoint monitors, give them yellow, vests and whistles. At the first sign of violence, they blow the whistles and the real protester sit down.
Let the police take out their aggression on the anarchists and the provocateurs trying to discredit the movement.

There are a few ways to get there:
1. Let women organize the event. They’re more collaborative. They’re more inclusive, and they don’t generally bring the undertones of violence men do.

The audience is NEVER the police, the politicians, the Board of supervisors, Congress,etc.
The audience is always the American people, who are trying to decide who they can trust; who will not embarrass them.
