I suppose in the future what's happening now may become known as "The Battle of Minneapolis," but I think--hope--it's historic precisely because it's not that. Fascism wants a fight. Instead, Minneapolis's main response is mutual aid. Struggle, in a deeper sense of the term than fascism can imagine.
If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.
This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.
Hi Humans, God here.
Regarding Greenland, God has a question for thee.
WHERE THE FUCK IS CONGRESS?!?

youll notice almost every bit of comms from republicans reinforces the notion that democrats are the evil incompetents while republicans are the serious minded solutions people. meanwhile dem comms are like "we like good stuff and we encourage good republicans to help us." its tone deaf shit.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

talked to the owner of a denim company that produces jeans in the US. he said that he's seen declining sales abroad in EU and Canada. stores tell him that customers don't want to buy MiUSA products bc Trump makes dumb, pointless threats like "taking over Canada or Greenland"
Seems important

I’m just a simple country political scientist but where I come from if your country has a secret police force that can give orders to members of the national legislature that’s…what’s the right word…bad.
People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.
This is exactly what they're trying to achieve by destroying government services that benefit the public. A VC-backed startup intervenes to gather data that the National Weather Service was previously collecting, and before we know it, we will be paying them for what was once funded by our taxes.
trump saying economic collapse is good, on fox news , feb 2014
I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan:

We don’t want “SpaceX engineers”
We want trained, competent air traffic controllers, ground crew personnel and people well versed in making sure the public can fly safely

True.
I think my longest held, most controversial opinion is that should practically outlaw billionaires by creating a 100% marginal tax rate for income after $1B. Use that money to pay for universal healthcare and public college.
Reduces income inequality and provides free, basic services.
