A rancher, veteran, and corporate titan…. AND a retiree, and a father who doesn’t want his children living in George Orwell’s 1984, a student who paid a little attention in Social Studies class, an honest lawyer who is disgusted by everything he sees at DOJ, a small business owner who suddenly can’t make ends meet, a mother who can’t afford both food for the family and the Christmas presents she wanted for her kids, and anyone who thinks that constant lies, sexual deviancy and deeply flawed character traits don’t belong in the presidency….
Please send to the HASC and SASC who are finding the courage to question and challenge the unlawful military deployment of our special ops and Marine sons and daughters in the Caribbean
There is also a group call “Freedom Trainers” who do noncooperation training. I’ve taken their 3 hr seminar and they also can do an 8 hr training session for a large group of people. I learned numerous tactics for combatting authoritarianism. One thing communities can do as well is form community whistle brigades, especially in communities where ICE seems to like to go. Check out what Chicago did to throw them off their game. This fight doesn’t just belong to ranchers veterans and corporate leaders (who most are part of the problem) it belongs to every US citizen. https://freedomtrainers.net/
unfortunately the mass resignations, in soc sec admin and various judicial areas, had no effect, as the DOGE goons just did what they wanted to anyway. As for Nat'l Guard troops saying they won't deploy, we'll see - and ICE is in control of the country at this point anyway. Courts have no enforcement mechanism is the problem - court orders are being ignored at random; judges are issuing strongly worded warnings, true, but where are the teeth? A functioning judicial system needs a citizenry of people who can be shamed and/or jailed, neither of which applies to anyone in the current executive branch of our government - or SCOTUS either, it would seem. Jamie Dimon may be able to begin to look better than some other bankers with his big statement, which is fine, but it's not a cracking pillar of authoritarianism. The majority of corporate powers would have to come together to confront this administration for there to be any positive result for the general citizenry, and since business greed is what's led to this mess. it's highly unlikely there'll be any return to what WAS generally agreed to be the promise of this experimental nation, based on interpreting our Constitution as describing a Democratic Republic. If that experiment isn't over yet, it will be before the 2026 federal elections unless something dramatic happens to dethrone the entire exec branch and more than half both branches of Congress. Keep an eye out for the classic GOP war to start pretty soon - the one that feeds the economic maw in the guise of protecting US. Venezuela is the closest victim, especially since they have oil. But you know that.
Brilliant framing of binding vs breaking as complementary resistance tactics. The binding approach is probably more effective long-term but gets way less attention becuase it's invisible. I've seen this play out in corporate settings where quiet dissent from middle management does more to stall bad policy than any public resignation letter ever could.
Trump is his own worse enemy. His incompetence, his habitual bullying, his hiring of incompetents whose qualification is their desire to kiss his *ss. The 'fan base' he caters to, which drives his cruel policies. His blatant greed, and complete lack of 'class'. All of this (and even more of his fundamental flaws, including his 'cognitive decline') results in the growing hellscape that is our nation.
It had to get worse, before people would wake up to the damage and demand it get better.

Yes, it’s a big tent.
Or, in this scenario, hopefully it’s a big bar…., there are more coming in through the door and they all look pretty angry

Remember Jack Smith.
Thank you. Right on!
