We don’t know what we are doing most of the time. We wander through all the incomplete myths and distorted stories in our minds.
To resist is to commit to the truth and the uncertainty that must always accompany it.
And to know what lies we have earned a right to confront when we encounter them

“But the thing is this administration treats brazen lying as an assertion of power in itself.”
This quote really drove home the point for me. Basically, “I can lie all I want and there isn’t a thing you can do about it.” Absolute bully tactic.

I keep coming back to this
After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

Fifteen years ago today, a gunman opened fire while my wife Gabby Giffords met with constituents outside a Tucson grocery store. Six people were killed. Thirteen others were injured – including Gabby. That day changed everything for my family and our community.
Today marks 15 years since a gunman tried to assassinate me. He shot 19 people and killed six.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out.

It's 25 degrees outside.
Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!"

Completely agree. Always pull these threads back to the Reagan Administration and Bush I.
Once again, one of the primary reasons we have arrived at this point (completely out-of-control & unconstitutional abuse of executive power to conduct wildly illegal foreign policy) is that no one, including the most senior people involved, went to jail for the rest of their lives for Iran-Contra.

So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.
