@hcrichardson.bsky.social my ways of resisting: becoming a card carrying member of my town’s Dem committee, going to protests and standouts, calling my electeds, and crocheting a protest blanket! The first two picks are the latest that I am stitching into the full blanket now🤗

Jasmine Crockett: “Democrats that believe the only way that you can win is by being soft & sounding like a Republican — That is not true —

What people are looking for are people that are tough & are going to fight for them

fight for better health care
fight for access to jobs
fight for education”

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

The way the mainstream media cleans up Trump’s racist tirades has long passed the “they’re just making mistakes” phase. This is actively aiding and abetting a racist, tyrannical regime. The ‘mainstream media is the enemy.

Talking like a literal Nazi while trying to get a sitting member of Congress assassinated
Trump: "Ilhan Omar, whatever the hell her name is. With her little turban. I love her. She comes in, does nothing but bitch ... we ought to get her the hell out ... she's here illegally."

The crowd in Pennsylvania then starts chanting "send her back!"

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Laws aren't real. They exist solely on account of buy-in from society's participants. Once one side disengages, you no longer reside in a society based on laws. You live in a society based on power and armed force. I am begging folks to accept this so we can get moving.
Just legal Calvinball. Obviously lawless.
