Summer of 1977. The Chapel Hill theater had air conditioning. @amyjoycebartlett.bsky.social and I went to see the movie … and get cold. What a movie!

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

The only issue is whether the Supreme Court will allow the president to say that there is an insurrection, and then use his own patently false proclamation to justify flooding American cities with soldiers to “fight crime.”"

All my life I have been hearing that USians accept gunshot deaths each year for the sake of their 2nd Amendment, to allow them to protect themselves from a dangerous gov'nt. Yet now, ICE with no ID, and their faces covered take innocent people into custody, and no one fights back. What am I missing?

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.
I don't know how to yell any louder.
