I hope that there are knowledgable movers and shakers working on 1) making sure we continue to have elections and 2) ways to take out a dictator. It's a flaw in our Constitution that the separation of powers isn't more protected as well as not enough insurance against tyranny. What do you think?

Have you read the work of Tad Stoermer, an author and history professor at Johns Hopkins? His podcast on the philosophy of resistance opened up questions for me, and I'd really love to know what you think.

Trump Melts Down Over Fed Chair’s Dark Warning About Tariffs Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell had warned that Donald Trump’s pet tariffs would cause inflation to skyrocket.

In classic Trump fashion, the president furiously smeared Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for contradicting White House rhetoric and lied that "groceries (even eggs!) are down."

In fact, egg prices have once again risen.

I'm enraged, too. The idea is not to try--for exactly the reasons you stated:they do not listen. But leave things like this article lying around where they can see it, also his LeavingMaga.org site.
Give them tools without saying anything, and above all, keep our anger in, so they aren't humiliated

Trump and Musk’s Plan to Destroy Social Security Started Tuesday Night It starts with cutting staff at the Social Security Administration. That will sow confusion. Then it builds from there.

Supported by billionaires like Musk, President Trump has laid the groundwork for the biggest heist in American historyβ€”the rapid destruction of Social Security, disguised as β€œreform.”

Because how dare Americans ask the morbidly rich to help support the middle class!
