I know it’s cumbersome but I’d rather the moniker No Dictators prevail because hearing the expression no kings just seems childish.
It's the classic authoritarian playbook: smear your opponents with baseless lies so that you can try to shut down peaceful, organized dissent.
We won't be intimidated. We won't be cowed. We won't bow down.
No Kings.

Rutgers University professor who published book on antifa was informed at boarding gate that his trip was cancelled
A Rutgers University professor who taught a course on anti-fascism was blocked from leaving the US for Spain on Wednesday night, according to media reports, hours after Donald Trump hosted a White House roundtable highlighting the impact of antifa – or “anti-fascist” – far-left activists.
Mark Bray, an historian who published the 2017 book Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, and has taught courses on anti-fascism at the New Jersey university, was attempting to board a plane at Newark airport bound for Europe when he was informed at the boarding gate that the reservations for him and his family had been cancelled.

Wondering where all the “become ungovernable” people have gone in response to Don’s second deployment of military resources on US soil. Have they all bent to be openly the “just obey the law and don’t be a minority” they always were. Damn, closet cases!

Do you notice how the only policies depicted as "realistic" or "acceptable" by media, politicians, and think tankers are the policies that don't inconvenience the owners of/donors to media, politicians and think tankers?
Yeah, that's not a bug. That's a feature.

This isn’t the charitable act it sounds like. It’s a symptom of individuals in command of too much money.

It's actually amazing how overtly Maoist the Republican Party is right now. Both Maoism and MAGA hate cities for their own reasons, so they want to depopulate the cities to make people go work in food production.

Really important thread
The Republic that is collapsing now is the Second Republic. The First Republic collapsed in the Civil War; the Reconstruction Amendments were needed to found the Second Republic. That is failing now. To recover the United States from the current collapse will require changes to the Constitution.

Lying about who uses Medicaid—way more covers healthcare for the working poor and retirees than for young adults who could work but are unemployed—but also...
29-year-old guys living in their mom's basement and not working are mostly a GOP constituency now. There's been a whole discourse about it.

The belief that these “losers” are a ubiquity in the most indebted and economically unequal society we’ve had is laughable. If he was the loser in mom’s basement, he’d have rich parents and probably be on their insurance, or they’d be paying for him, not Medicaid.
