This quote from p. 2 "Defeating Dictators" by George B. N. Ayittey hits a little closer to home than I expected when I bought the book: "a force is able to dominate because the counterforce is either nonexistent or weak." see: US GOP government coup #usdemocrats #booksky #readalong #readresistrise

While you're at it, rename other things! Maybe you'd like to live on Easy Street? Or would you like the city named after you (I could live in Ashtonville)? Or perhaps it's finally time for Google to admit that Canada is America's Hat. #resist #google #floodtheline

Yesterday I was not granted an extension on my Temporary Protective Order (aka restraining order) because the offending party did not break the rules for the year I was protected. This is a broken logic system. He left me alone *because* I was protected. (1/3) #usjustice #tpo

This is how the world views the US.
Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."

Keep stirring up good trouble!
Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.
Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

To take it one step further, we are currently seeing what unchecked capitalism brings us--not equality but the mega rich buying power in multiple governments and caring nothing for what it will do to the poor and marginalized.

King continues "Since we know that the system [capitalism] will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system." MLK understood the problem with capitalism is that it requires a poor working class to function. #booksky #readalong #mlk #readresistrise (2/3)
