www.pbs.org/kenburns/the... Ken Burns and Sarah Botstein’s American Revolution proves HISTORY RHYMES. Trump and the 119th Republican Congress have reimagined the Patriot’s Grievances against an abusive Tyrant
all leading to a REVOLUTION. They are the Enemy From Within, America.
Controlling the judiciary: Judges were made dependent on the King for their salaries and job tenure / Trump has repeatedly ignored the rulings of the Lower Courts and has endangered the lives of those who rule against his policies. • Hindering elections: After dissolving assemblies, he delayed or refused to call for new elections / Trump/ Heritage FDN are "attempting to rewrite election rules to burden voters and usurp control of election systems; targeting or threatening to target election officials and others who keep elections free and fair; supporting people who undermine election administration; and retreating from the federal government's role of protecting voters and the election process. (Brennan Center) Taxation without representation •Cutting off trade: The King blocked colonial trade with all parts of the world. • Imposing taxes: He imposed taxes on the colonies without their consent. Parliament asserted the right to tax the colonies however they saw fit, while colonists believed that only legislative bodies they were represented in could enact internal taxes / Punitive tariffs flagrantly imposed by Trump tax citizens as well as cutting off access to trade partners without benefit of Congressional oversight. • Interference with self-government The king dissolved representative houses that opposed his intrusions on the people's rights / Trump deployed National Guard troops defying Posse Comitatus Act, U.S. federal law that generally prohibits the use of the Army and Air Force for domestic law enforcement purposes enacted in 1878. Quarting troops The king kept standing armies among the colonists during peacetime without their legislatures' consent / Trump deployed ICE troops in democratic city facilities brutalizing non-violent undocumented immigrants as well as American citizens. • Trial by jury The colonists were deprived of trial by jury in many cases, including those concerning the Navigation Acts / Trump's DHS arrested and incarcerated individuals without benefit of Warrants, Due Process, right to counsel. • German immigrants King George III wanted to discourage German immigration, which he saw as adding to tensions with the colonies / Trump is focused on deporting undocumented immigrants and immigrants who have started the naturalization process.

bsky.app/profile/whit... Temper grave disappointment with @whitehouse.senate.gov ‘s wise strategic tact to keep democracy safe from the predatory Trump/Republican/Heritage FDN threat. Unity is our strength.
Thread by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse: “The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November. No one's feelings are wrong. That's not my point. We're in a real battle, against a corrupt and malevolent foe, with huge stakes. We must win. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone. Do I trust them? No. That's why I voted no. But they are in a terrible position, and we can use the next few weeks to turn the pressure up even further.
