No Kings 2 is over.

Trump says that he doesn't care about millions of protesters. Making an autocrat care about people is a struggle for power, requiring citizens to overcome fear, build broad-based movements, & exert ongoing pressure. We must be up to it.

We are at a tipping point. We are in the midst of an escalating crisis. The changes that have occurred in the U.S. over the past nine months are not subtle. We the people are the force needed to stop autocracy from over taking the country that we love.

People want their votes to count. We do not want our votes to be weighted in such a way that our votes to not accurately reflect the collective will of the people, but rather represent some manifestation of political control. Gerrymandering does the latter.

The consolidation of power aspect of what is happening is quite true. While the quote you shared is widely attributed to Mussolini, researchers have been unable to verify that he ever actually said or wrote it. In fact, some argue it contradicts his other writings on the subject of corporatism.
Free speech is important. It is why it is the first amendment. Trump has made no secret of the fact that he wants to control the truth you hear. His latest attack on Jimmy Kimmel is more proof that of this. If you are in Los Angeles, please join us tomorrow:

Last week we saw well-trained professional scientists lose their jobs at the CDC because those scientists were not willing to compromise scientific truth to support the narrative of their ultimate boss, Trump. This has been going on for years in the private sector:

Making up reasons to get away with bad things started in the private sector involving things like providing cover for wrongfully firing people. Now this has come to the public sector where it is being used to wrongfully fire people & to put military in our streets:

Conscientious objectors played an important role in ending the Viet Nam war. Today, the military has been called to do something arguably more objectionable than fighting an unpopular war in a foreign country...fight an unpopular war in our own streets:

Trump is the crook who wants to be king. I, among others, are on the side of the BlueSky butterfly and the monarch butterfly:

This is what democracy looks like!
Thank you very much for your kind words. I wish some of our leaders engendered the kind of trust that you have in me.
Deploying soldiers in Washington, DC is another step by Trump to consolidate power so that it can be used against anyone Trump perceives to be an enemy. Viewed in isolation, it is only a distraction. Viewed in the context of testing limits, it is a clear danger.

Voting is the cornerstone of democracy when citizens are able to choose the politicians who represent them rather than when politicians act to choose who represents citizens. An autocratic dictator can only win "elections" by controlling elections: open.substack.com/pub/zorhasbs...

Trump is vested in censorship & having control of the media. Eliminating freedom of speech makes it easier for Trump to use ICE to implement his eugenic policies. Fighting for freedom of speech goes hand-in-hand with fighting Trump's tyranny against immigrants:
