Donald Trump cannot be shamed.

Very recommended: How to Blow Up a Pipeline, by Andreas Malm.

That’s me, but I can’t organize and lead a rally or an army (and an army is probably what’s needed). I will show up at any march, but there’ve only been three within a hundred miles of me. Beyond that I don’t know what to do.

Dude doesn’t quite connect the dots. The government — under Biden — had a deal to save his farm. The government — under Trump — is changing all the rules, reneging on the contract. If all he groks from this is “government bad,” then game over. Except it’s not a game.

Americans, being largely apathetic and unaware, won’t take to the streets until the coup effects them personally, which will probably be too late.

Our nominal ‘opposition party’, the Democrats, seem curiously quiet. It’s hard to imagine that the next elections will be a robust debate on the issues, if elections are allowed at all.

For now, the only hope of stopping “the dictator from day one” is the courts, but any judge’s ruling against Trump imperils that judge’s life, and is at best a temporary delay.

All findings that this that or the other outrageous act by the Trump administration is unConstitutional will be appealed to the Supreme Court, which is a subsidiary of the Republican Party. The Supremes might say NO to a few lesser outrages to maintain credibility, but they’ll give an enthusiastic thumbs up to all the most outrageous outrages.

Yeah, I’m pessimistic, and I’d love it if someone could explain how wrong I am, but it looks to me like the Constitution and the Law no longer matter. The courts might, but for how long?

Pretty pretty pretty pretty good. (:

Well, ain’t I a nincompoop! Whoops and thanks, and I’ve erased Sunny’s name. (:

“Won’t someone please think of the children!?” Yeah, when politicians bring up children it’s almost always a sham.

In a couple of years, there’ll be a small article on page B-41 of the Times, reporting that suicide has skyrocketed among trans youth.

My apologies for the pessimism, but any judge’s ruling against Trump is at best a temporary delay. All findings that this that or the other Trumpocalypse is unConstitutional will be appealed to the Supreme Court, which is a subsidiary of the Republican Party. The Supremes will say NO to a few lesser outrages to maintain credibility, but YES to all the most outrageous outrages.

The Constitution and the Law no longer matter.

Fixed my headline, thanks. Wish I could fix the New York Times.

Yes, the situation calls for harsh language!

Dang, that looks intriguing. Goes on my library list, thanks.

In the future I will always remember that. Today, I hadn’t even known — thank you!

Here it was futurism.com, but sure, I’ll try to remember to do that.

You’re entitled to disagree with both you and me (: but I’ll continue thinking you’ve done the right thing.

Flat Earthers who show up at meetings of the Planetary Society should be shown the door.

What the fuckity fuck fuck?

I am late to this thread, and intrigued and on board with Shutdown 315.

Mostly, though, I want to say THANK YOU to @TokenBoomer for the removals on this page. When someone’s trying to organize something, people popping in to say it’s futile and pointless are simply assholes, and assholes are counterproductive for organizing.

Thanks, this one’s a “must-click”. Cory’s kicking ass today — not only his own writing, but great links too.
