  • It doesn't matter. Remember all those times when Trump & Co set a tariff percentage, then lowered it a few weeks later? I wonder why? Maybe somebody made a "donation" to his bitcoin account. He got what he wanted.

  • Remember when Texas was sending busloads of migrants north to sanctuary cities?

  • I've been thinking just how difficult it would be to coordinate a full national general strike, or even a statewide one. It seems like a possible way forward would be to target worker groups that would have a domino affect on other groups. For example, if you could get teachers, especially elementary level teachers, to strike, many of their parents would need to stay home due to lack of child care. I'm wondering if there are other union based groups that could have a similar effect.

  • Why is it that something required by the government (car insurance) is not provided BY the government?

  • I understand the feelings that lead to giving this advice, but this will not end well for anyone. There are better options, especially if children are involved.

  • These are just the publicly known donors. The big money is given in crypto.

  • No, people need to find success in beheading the aristocrats again. Every successful CEO doesn't need to have a head.

  • very fun! thanks

  • I think Chicago is approaching those levels. Lots of ppl here would like to launch ICE and border patrol back to that pedo fuckface.

  • Have you heard 1952 Vincent Black Lightning by Richard Thompson? The story is simple and sad, but the way it's sung makes it especially emotional (at least for me).

  • It is supposed to grant you freedom from government consequences though. At least it used to.

  • Is it possible to FOIA Federal paychecks to see who is getting paid for this?

  • I was thinking of what a good opportunity to strike to show solidarity with Government workers.

  • So well put. Like have we not learned how Trump's main strategy is just to do what he wants and see what the courts say? You win either way. He hasn't totally got his way with the National Guard in Chicago and Portland, but he still established federal control of the guard and pushed his power forward. Instead of hemming and hawing, levy the charges and tie up operations in the court system. Even if you lose, you delay the process.

  • How quickly can these remove the valve? could you cut off the stem with wirecutters faster?

  • 100%. The Gov has been a good spokesperson so far, but now it's time to put his money where his mouth is. If you live in Illinois, call your state reps and demand action.

  • Well, in a perfect world, where the POTUS is immune from prosecution when executing official acts, they could seize their assets. Would it ever happen? The only way I could envision is if the vast majority of the population supports (or is indifferent to) such an action. But hey, we currently have a $200b secret police force roaming the land, so maybe there's a chance!

    But seriously, an extreme wealth tax would be a step in the right direction.

  • Yeah, it didn't look to me like he was dragged. It looked like he refused to let go.

  • I understand your point, but did you watch the security camera video? If you haven't, go watch it and ask yourself if the shooting was warranted.
