Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, but that was the point of the 2nd Amendment. To give states the right to protect themselves against federal tyranny.

10. Re. The military politely remind them they took an oath to defend the constitution against all threats foreign and domestic.
11. Show up to the 10/18 No Kings Protest.

Please do and share these tips. Let’s make them feel as uncomfortable and unwelcome as possible without inciting violence.

7. Cont. if they refuse call the police.
8. If they knock on your door ask for a warrant and DO NOT let them in. Call the police and use that phone tree. Video all of it.
9. Do not incite violence or physically touch them. Make them the assailant.

With the military and ICE terrorizing #Chicago here are a few things we, the people can do to #Resist.

1. Build a phone tree w/your neighbors and share information of ICE in the area.
2. Use your phones and record them. Whether they’re detaining anyone or just hanging out. Document everything.

Yes, I wonder why indeed.

Could it be to foment unrest and justify their unconstitutional and inhumane aggression?

How will the military being in big cities affect voting and other questions! Trump is not in charge, Vought and Miller are, etc.

What if we measured progress not just by income or life expectancy - but by how well we live with the rest of nature?

A major new paper proposes the 'Nature Relationship Index (NRI)' - a bold rethink of development metrics.

Here’s why it matters.👇

Yes, we argue vociferously, backed by empirical research, that patients’ wellbeing and health outcomes will suffer from the Trump administration’s push to end DEI policies at US medical schools

The BMJ @bmj.com · 3h

The Trump administration and its allies have taken several steps to ensure that medical schools in the US dismantle all diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.

It is patients who will be the victims of this, write @gavinyamey.bsky.social and @michaeldgreen.com

See how effective it can be to calmy and directly call out Trump and people like him? It’s effective because it’s objectively true no matter how much they try to gaslight and blameshift. You can politicize people’s minds, but you can’t politicize objective reality.

A reporter asked the chair of the Nobel Peace Prize committee why Trump didn’t win, and the guy basically said it’s because he has no courage or integrity. Absolutely brutal.

This morning’s theme: Make fun of them, to their faces if possible.

Added bonus: immortalize those faces on the Internet. You made a choice to follow illegal orders, and we make the choice to put you on blast for eternity. Good luck explaining that to your kids and grandkids.

Sellouts.
