America needs a peaceful Revolution of Dignity.

#TrumpMustResign #DrainTheSwamp
Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians thronging central Kyiv during the Euromaidan protests culminating in the Revolution of Dignity, 2014. It is night and the crowd is bespangled with lights. In the centre background is the Independence Monument.

A really nasty-looking Donald Trump captured mid-rant. ‘Rage Chaos Retribution Vindictiveness’. A powerful and serene yet purposeful-looking Kamala Harris. ‘Dignity Strength Optimism Kindness Competence’.

I’m not sure that’s right. I take Steve Beschloss’s point as saying there needs to be a single nationwide protest of 12 million people. The two No Kings are building momentum towards this, strengthening people’s protest ‘muscles’.

Which DOES mention Katie Johnson as woman #4. Please don’t bother me again: you are not the Bluesky police, and ordering people to do your bidding is an unwinning strategy.
Extract of PBS article: “"Jane Doe" aka "Katie Johnson" - 1994. Lawsuit filed June 2016, refiled October 2016 as reported by Buzzfeed and others, then dropped in November 2016. Jane Doe is an unnamed plaintiff, who has also gone by "Katie Johnson" in legal papers. She claims she was repeatedly raped by Trump and Jeffery Epstein at Epstein's New York City apartment in 1994, when she was 13 years old. A witness, also given a pseudonym — "Tiffany Doe" - said she recruited "Jane Doe" and others. Doe, using the name "Johnson, " gave an interview to the Daily Mail in which she said she did not know who Trump was at the time of the alleged attack but identified him later when she saw him on television. It is not known why she withdrew the lawsuit. She has not spoken publicly or withdrawn her rape allegation since then.”

I’ve always thought that, at root, left v right is altruism v selfishness.

Yes. But it starts with *everyone* calling for his resignation. He has stupefied everyone into silence and immobility, and Americans need to take back their power.

Nope. Trump’s a lame duck, underwater in the polls, election after election shows his endorsement to be toxic, and mid-terms are nigh.

Summary of the three ways:
Key findings: • A 2% wealth tax on people worth more than $5 million (excluding the family home and superannuation) would raise $41 billion per year. • The reintroduction of an inheritance tax (which operated in various forms at a state and federal level in the 1960s and 70s) would not only reduce intergenerational inequality, it would raise $10 billion per year. • And the government would raise an extra $19 billion a year if it scrapped the capital gains tax discount, which would have the double benefit of making property more affordable for those currently locked out of the market. "Australia is a low-tax country that does not do a good job of taxing wealth. It is one of the few developed economies in the world which has neither a wealth tax nor an inheritance tax," said Matt Grudnoff, Senior Economist at The Australia Institute. "Correcting this would raise huge amounts of extra revenue for essential services and ease growing inequality in Australia.”

These measures will also address the key issue of housing affordability.

“They spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution from the Trump administration.”

American “prestige”.
Excerpt from NYT article: “More than 100 nations were poised last month to approve a historic deal to slash pollution from cargo ships. That's when the United States launched a pressure campaign that officials around the world have called extraordinary, even by the standards of the Trump administration's combativeness, according to nine diplomats on its receiving end. An ambassador from Asia was told that, if he voted in favor of the plan, his country's sailors would no longer be allowed to disembark at American ports. Caribbean diplomats were told that they could be blacklisted from entering the United States. And Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, personally called officials in several countries to threaten financial penalties and other punishments if they continued to support the agreement to cut ship pollution. These and other threats, including tariffs, sanctions and the revocation of diplomats' U.S. visas, effectively killed the deal, according to the nine American, European and developing-nation diplomats directly involved in the negotiations. They spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution from the Trump administration.”
