The tipping point is when military units kill civilians. Will the Republican Party stand by Trump? Only 4 defections are needed in the Congress to impeach. If they defect, will Trump turn on his own party, ignore the Congress, and try to rule by full martial law? Can he do it? We don’t know yet.

I just hope that more stupid bullshit keeps happening forever, can’t get enough

Good idea.

Yes, when there is no objective reality, *power* is all that matters: the power to control how resources are distributed and what they’re used for, enforced by violence for which there is no accountability. That’s what they’re after.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Where does the money come from? The Rs have fanatic billionaires to fund alternative infrastructure. The Ds, not so much.

Quick and useful survey of the legal issues on the table now.

Everyone in Gaza is Hamas, don’t ya know.

Who is our Frodo? Who is our Sam?

He wouldn’t follow the illegal order. This means war is coming.

Help whom you can. Enjoy the days. Pay attention. That’s about it!

Your crucial insight is that the right — Trump, et al. — appeases people’s fear with absurd, violent lies. The liberal center offers technocratic fixes that convince no one. We, on the ‘collapsnik’ left, are learning to face our fear with “inner work,” skill-building, and ‘Solidarity Prepping.’

If only we had listened!

🤣

We’ll all go together when we go!

Cascadia Subduction Fault earthquakes (magnitude ~9) usually trigger San Andreas Fault quakes (~7). San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver BC, all trashed at once. Happens every couple of hundred years, apparently.

Should elected officials be imprisoned for speaking out against an invasion of their cities? Hard to say. Very technical question. Really one for the lawyers to sort out.

You cannot simply walk into Oregon and Illinois with 400 Texans.

Well, it's not war if folks submit to it.

It's just violent occupation, which is where things are right now

I'm not worried: Once ICE rounds up all the illegals, they'll stop.

There is no going forward without a death of some kind: a death of who we thought we were and were supposed to be; a death of a map of the world we thought worthy of our trust and investment; a death of expectations that by choosing rightly we could avoid suffering.~James Hollis

How far is it from lawless immigration raids to Gaza-style bombardments in American cities? Not as far as you’d think!

He’ll say Democrats are terrorists, and send drones to kill them, like he’s already done to civilians on boats.

Do we know that the military will refuse the illegal orders?

It’s a “Kavanaugh raid.” If you live in a Latino neighborhood, reasonable suspicion is not required. Just round ‘em up!
