It's time to break away. The whole urban-rural divide we're seeing in this country is actually a global occurrence. It's not unique. We could be seeing the beginning of a worldwide network of cities. Divest from the USD. Like we did with Apartheid.

But you know what? That mofo invoke the big Insurrection Act, and we need to take our wealth out of the dollar. Anything else would be like rationalizing the violence of a spouse.

Forever. This is the moment when Trumpistan will break from the Blue Counties of America, a group of regional city-states which will have its own taxing and spending.

Health care
Education
Housing
World class infrastructure
Income security

Trumpistan will become a theocratic autocracy.

And they don't want us to call them shit for brains... Well, stop doing things which make people think you have shit for brains.

So, all he's gotta do is find people willing to put up a firefight. Then, he can invoke the Insurrection Act.

In a way, I kind of hope it happens. That will provide the impetus for us to create our own country.

Every time we tried to create something other than businesses, a cultural identity, they were total asshats and insisted that they didn't need to learn about their fellow citizens.

It had to be something other than a religion that would bind us together.

America...a land with businesses.

Court Jester @johnfeier.bsky.social · 4h

We don't need your country if it's only going to be a collection of businesses.

Court Jester @johnfeier.bsky.social · 5h

They only want a society of individuals acting out of their own self interest.

So, let's give them...a society of individuals acting out of their own self interest.

Let's show them what that looks like.

And no, we shouldn't have to respect your religion if you don't respect the idea of a social contract.

Court Jester @johnfeier.bsky.social · 5h

You see what I'm saying?

All you Republicans finally got your wish. A collection of businesses instead of a country.

Shut the fuck up if you see the country disappear.

Court Jester @johnfeier.bsky.social · 5h

They cut the government programs and when they do that, they're cutting out part of what brought us together as a country...the idea of a social contract.

We don't need a country if it's just going to be a collection of businesses.

Fuck your Amerikkka!

But if we want to end the country, that's entirely possible by simply changing the currency.

There's nothing else but the Super Bowl that Americans have in common.

But the reason we don't have anything else in common is because the khunts over on the right are only concerned about money.

There were some skirmishes as they were backing the protesters down the street and that could have turned into something ugly. But the protesters were peaceful.

Methinks Pritzker was worried about it becoming a reason for "you know who" to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

We had so many high expectations for him. It's sad.

I've been sounding the alarm about Fetterman for a long time. Prof. Ealy takes all the information and serves it up not only with prime snark, but makes it make sense.

Pennsylvania Deserves Better — And It’s Not Too Late to Demand I

How John Fetterman went from working-class hero to absentee senator—and why Pennsylvania shouldn’t settle for excuses.

We need a temporary different country until MAGA goes away.

It's curtains for American democracy.

1. Go to an online currency exchange and exchange all of your American dollars for Canadian dollars (CAD).
2. Get banks to express our savings in CAD.
3. Get all retailers in the blue counties to accept CAD.
4. Geography of use becomes a temporary country.

You know, maybe a mass currency exodus doesn't seem so bad, huh?

Critics Warn Trump's 'Religious Liberty' Panel Wants to Impose 'Christian Nationalist Agenda' Nationwide | Common Dreams

Church-state separation advocates warn of Trump's Religious Liberty Commission agenda to impose Christian Nationalist views on public education.

How about we all just move out of the dollar and get retailers to accept a Blue currency? Geography of use would define the temporary country. We collect our own taxes and pay for our own health care.
