Ten million souls, a single voice
Responding to the call
No matter what they do to us
Tyrants always fall
On this the history is quite clear
Hope is the antidote to fear
Ten thousand thousand marching here
They cannot stop us all

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

A red-haired white woman wearing a black tank, sits in the passenger seat or a black convertible. A dark haired white man in a white shirt is driving. Both are wearing sunglasses and looking at the camera. (Renee Russo and Pierce Brosnan in The Thomas Crown Affair)

Or it reduces police forces to the actual need and we get rid of the bloat, while moving "policing" to community and health intervention models.

Of course, then we still have the problem of all the psychopaths being Feds.

And I don't understand the point. They're basically validating us, saying that yes he is an unaccountable king. What's the end game here?

I thought it was interesting that in Evanston IL every Congressional candidate was there (bc we're losing Schakowsky) except, afaics, the one constantly fundraising off how all the other people in the race are enablers who don't show up.

"'Come up, O warriors! come up, O brothers!
Tribesmen and herdsmen, maidens and mothers;
The bondman's son and the bondman's daughter,
The hewer of wood and the drawer of water,
He that carries and he that brings,
And set your foot on the neck of kings.'"
