Secondly, if they somehow did succeed in cancelling midterms, there would be no Congress to approve a budget. Treasury can’t release funds without Congress.

Nothing would get paid. We would default on our debt. The global economy would collapse, and the midterms would be the least of our worries.

Democracy was never a spectator sport.

We became disillusioned in our duty as custodians of democracy, stopped voting, vetting our candidates, demanding better of our government.

The oligarchs took advantage of our malaise, divided us further and seized control.

It’s time to take it back.

The message is loud and clear: Men can flash you, trigger you, traumatize you, abuse your likeness as they wish, punish you for daring to exist—and if you fight against it, the more YOU get punished, and the more privileges are heaped upon them. The state punishes your victim even more for you.

If you want to understand why Trump is doing what he's doing, this essay by @jenmercieca.bsky.social has proven both prescient and explanatory since she published it eleven months ago.

He won’t draft MAGA sons. He will selectively draft military-aged sons who are educated and vote left. It’s Miller’s plan to rid the country of ‘elitists’ by eliminating a generation of its sons. Musk made sure to identify them.

Now do you understand why he launched his term with the insane tariff wars?

It was to intimidate the rest of the world into silence when he launched his wars for oil and minerals.
