"The real crime is being committed by a President who tramples on civil liberties, punishes dissent, and treats protest as treason." Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...

I agree and I do my best to spread the word but I have one gripe and it's substack and I don't like the fact you promote it and many because it's there living want you to become a paid subscriber, not me. Our government is totally broken and the 2 party system doesn't work. At 85 I don't expect to see a fix before I leave planet earth. We have a majority of citizens who didn't vote in 2024 and are apathetic, our country will not survive without systemic change.

The dismantling of our democracy is not "slow". This is one of the fastest transformations in history. Even Putin took years to dismantle Russia's institutions. We need a massive, constant and more disruptive response than occasional protest days, such as a crippling national strike until he and his team of criminal thugs are removed.

I'll be at two No Kings protests, scheduled just far enough apart that I can get from one to the other via light rail and bus. I plan to wear my trusty Good Trouble hat and my Tax the Rich tee. And I will do my damndest to discourage any and all acts of violence which Trump and his minion would use to stop our movement with much greater and more lethal violence. Gandhi took down the most powerful empire in the world nonviolently, persistently, and via a total willingness to take the heat without becoming just like the oppressors. Vive la Resistance.

We who live in a more rural area--a cluster of villages-- have a rally planned. All set to wave flags, sing songs, hold up signs, listen, AND collect food for local food pantries. Helping others as we protest is up-lifting.

Every time TACO opens his mouth he reveals his seriously demented brain. This man deserves to be in an assisted care facility where his rambling mouth can be safely ignored. The rest of his administration should be in solitary confinement. The saddest part of our current situation is the Republicans in Congress. With a couple of exceptions, the remainder cannot justify their silence and refusal to stand up to TACO and violate their oath of office. They stand FAR BELOW that group we jokingly refer to as "Used Car Salesmem".

My thought exactly. If Biden had said and done 1/1000th of what tRump does every day he'd have been declared "unfit" and carried out on a gurney. How long can the media's sanewashing continue?

Excellent post! Just FYI, the link for "Where to Join" at the end has a link to NoKingsProtest.org, which is an inactive site. NoKings.org does work.

I’m hoping some of the news services refuse to cover the parade.
