First they came for the 1st Amendment,
and I did not protest
— Because I was not a Liberal

Then they came for the 5th Amendment,
and I did not protest
— Because I was not a Venezuelan

Then they came for the other Amendments,
and I did not protest
— Because I no longer had the right to protest

I watched a few videos of the antifa frog in Portland, and that frog makes protesting look like fun! Now I wanna buy an inflatable costume, go to a protest, and dance!!!

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

When there are no air traffic controllers on duty, the pilots departing from Burbank are communicating with SoCal TRACON. It is causing long delays.

I have no idea if Trump is physically/mentally capable of being in charge🤷‍♀️

However, It seems like Trump ain't interested in doing any real work. He just plays golf & redecorates the White House.

Prof Patrick - I recommend you read this NY Times article.

"Every citizen has a role to play in helping democratic movements succeed... Voters need courage to participate in elections, protest peacefully and act with agency rather than adapt to authoritarian rule."

Trump spent his day golfing while Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and Pete Hegseth did egregious abuses of power on Trump's behalf.

Thank you for explaining what fascism is.
At first, I was annoyed by your frequent posts about this isn't fascism & you're not white rose. Then I started reading other people too. I let everything I learned sink in. I now realize that my roles in the resistance are volunteer in my community & VOTE!

Damn it, literally 5 hours ago, I was telling a friend that I was much more hopeful because most Americans disapprove of what Trump is doing.
And then, boom, Stephen Miller tweets about insurrection and my hope dissipates.

I keep my Twitter account just so I can verify if bs like this is true, and yes this is real.

After spending 4 minutes on Twitter, I am thankful that I no longer use Twitter on a regular basis.
