In case you are getting discouraged. This is what Americans should do. This is what WOKE is all about: taking care of one another. Thanks Minnesota.

An encouraging sign. We might get the troops we need. Crossing fingers. They disobey, he goes crazy, does something really stupid (kill protesters), and we get our country back.
For the first time in history, the archbishop responsible for U.S. service members said officers may be morally obligated to disobey a sitting president’s orders.

Broglio said a Trump-ordered invasion of Greenland would violate Catholic teaching and that Catholic troops could refuse to comply.

The archbishop responsible for pastoral care of U.S. service members says an unjust attack on a friendly nation justifies troops’ conscientious refusal under Catholic moral teaching.

FYI: What is the difference between the Insurrection Act and Martial Law?
While often confused, the Insurrection Act and martial law are distinct legal concepts in the United States. The primary difference lies in who remains in control of the government: under the Insurrection Act,

"Our eyes have seen the stories of the breaking of the laws,
Of the trampling and the wreckage, of the use of deadly force,
Those who loosed the hate and violence now expect to reap rewards,
Trump’s troops go marching on ..."

Up in the night, down in the polls. Look, it's....

In case you have any doubts. He goes to the root: anger, hate, which is what we will have to deal with. It won't get better until it is over.

More of this. Do your jobs. Yes, I know you a pushing the boulder up hill, but it won't get there on its own.

I'd like to think one of these guys is listening. I'd like to think that, but I don't.

We shouldn't even try. Once in the cult, there's no coming out.

Need to get this out as much as possible. I hope he is soon arrested, or is qualified immunity governing here? This is not an isolated case. People are dying at the hands of our government. It will probably get worse. Be safe out there.

Could this be the writing on the wall? Does this really surprise anyone? We have been warned.
Only a malignant narcissist speaks like that.

Needs more substantiation, but would explain a lot. 'Death Theatre'? Just ICE on the international scene.
Well, here’s a curveball and no mistake. If this “capture” was indeed part of an exit strategy deal between Maduro & Trump it wouldn’t be the biggest surprise - the idea of a “death theatre” strategy (televised, of course) would appeal to Trump - the man who’s whole life is prime time reality tv.
Well isn't that interesting?

Nice find. This bears repeating. UDI must be part of any Dem running for or in office.

Some more facts. Please be true.

In case you didn't know.

Not exactly our situation, but close. Puts it together rather well. Worth your time. Great actors.
“Keeper of the Flame” starring Katherine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy warned about the rise of fascism in America. Sound familiar?

It's not the smoking gun, but fake counties does raise a few questions. Long, so get a cup of coffee or tea.

Now, what must we do? And how must we do it?

This kinda made my day. More, much more.
More of this !!

Long, but highly informative. Should martial law be declared, bozo may not get what he wants. Encouraging but not comforting.

This is where we are. Where are we going?

About all you need to know about the repug party. This is their idea of justice: attack from behind, overwhelming force, forced lawbreaking (pushed over the line). These are not Americans. Not sure what, but they are not Americans.
It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

Oh, the depravity. Let there be justice.
GIVE TRUMPS VICTIMS JUSTICE!!!

That's courage.
THANK YOU, LONE PROTESTER, KENDRA SULLIVAN! YOU ROCK!
Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.
