If I am ever murdered by an ICE death squad:
1. I was not making any threatening motions, statements, gestures or behaviours toward any individual person or group of people.
2. I was acting entirely within my understanding of my constitutionally guaranteed rights and liberties.
3. I was acting in the best interests of myself and my loved ones.
4. My murderer acted without provocation.
5. This post will remain actively pinned on my social media account forever. If it is ever removed, it was done so by an actor or agency attempting to cover up the truth.

Liberty or death.
There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy.
Remember this, freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are already occurring constantly throughout the nation. There are whole armies, battalions, that have no idea they've already enlisted in the cause.
Remember that the frontier of the American Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
And remember this: the MAGA need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort.
It breaks. It leaks.
Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this; the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of MAGA authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.
Remember this: try.
The Revolution is now.
RIGHT now.
Right the FUCK now.
At this exact moment, people - patriots - ordinary citizens - are putting their lives on the line to defend YOUR liberties.
What happens in Chicago in the next couple of days is likely to determine what happens in the rest of the country, and in some respects the entire world.
Whether or not you choose to acknowledge it, accept it, or actively engage, we are living through the second American civil war. And what you choose to do (or not do) WILL affect its outcome.
This is no longer about Trump's character. It's about yours.

Rise up.

Revolution.
The women, the brown folk, the black folks, the gays,
The natives, the transplants who live in LA,
The leftists, the liberals, the hippies, the Jews,
The Muslims, the Hindus, and atheists too
The ones who write movies, the ones who write laws
The ones who write songs to thunderous applause
Kids brought here by parents, or left on our shore
Seekers, or DREAMers, or fleeing a war
The teachers, the students, the construction crews,
The media guys who tell us the news,
The guys who pipe up, the guys who back down,
The guy who took a knee on the green grassy ground
The folks in big cities, the folks in the field,
The folks in the capitol wearing the shield,
The unmarried mothers, the kids with two dads,
Moms with blue hair, and the kids who are trans
You say you're a patriot
What a way to spin it
For someone who "loves America"
You sure hate everyone in it
And who's left, after you take them away
To die in the dark on a bright Florida day
Who's left to Lord over, after you've won?
Nothing, no person, nobody, no one.
Submitted for approval of the People
It is the unanimous Declaration of the People of the United States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people are created equal, regardless of race, age, physical handicap, country of origin, religion or lack thereof, sexual orientation, gender, or gender presentation, and that they are endowed at birth with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are the right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. βThat to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among the People, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, βThat whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that humankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.βSuch has been the patient sufferance of these States; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present self-stylized "King of America" Donald Trump is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused to obey the Laws of this Nation.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States by immigrants and asylum seekers.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, such as ICE and DOGE and sent from those Offices swarms of unelected "Officers" to harass and kidnap our people, steal our private information, and dismantle our institutions.
He has attempted to render the Military, the Department of Homeland Security and ICE independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has joined with other Nations to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution.
For Quartering and Harboring large bodies of armed insurrectionists among us:
For protecting them, by Executive Order, from punishment for Murders which they both committed and planned to commit, on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes and Tariffs on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury and Due Process of Law:
For transporting us beyond our National Borders to be incarcerated without Trial for pretended offences:
For taking away our Charters, rescinding our Treaties, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and fundamentally altering the Forms of our Governments:
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives and livelihoods of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of ICE Mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us.
At every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: but our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A President, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of this Nation, solemnly publish and declare, That these United States are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump, and his MAGA allies, and that all political connection between us, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, we have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

If you watch a Hallmark Christmas movie backwards it's the heartwarming tale of a small-town girl who finally summons the courage to dump her loser idiot manchild of a boyfriend who still literally believes in Santa Claus, moves to the big city, immediately lands a high powered executive position at a major Fortune 500 company, and rediscovers the joys of urban hedonism.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has been an enemy to the left for years. Never once has she had her life, or the lives of her family threatened.
She's been the enemy of the right for one day and already she has had to hire security to protect her and her family from all the rape and death threats.
Never tell me again both sides are the same.

Honestly here is what I think about the idea that Gavin Newsome might redistrict California if Texas executes a gerrymandering power grab in the middle of an election cycle.
Do the nuclear option now. Don't wait. Do it now.
This kind of tit-for-tat threat doesn't work because there is no downside for Republicans. Either they steal the five seats in Texas now and get away with it, or they steal the five seats on Texas and California counters and they can turn the conversation on how California is stealing seats instead. Both outcomes are good for them.
So take their threat of stealing seats seriously and just pull the pin now. Bullies only understand the language of violence. Hit them hard enough to hurt, and then keep hitting them. Do New York next. Then Illinois. Then Washington and Pennsylvania and New Jersey and Ohio. Keep hitting and hitting and hitting until they understand who holds the power here - WE DO.
There are more of us than there are of them. MAKE them understand that.
A government run by criminals is called a kleptocracy.
A government run by corporations is called a corporatocracy.
A government run by the rich is called an oligarchy.
A government run by a dictator is called an autocracy.
A government run by the elderly is called a gerontocracy.
A government run by morons is called an idiocracy.
A government run by the shittiest, worst people is called a kakistocracy.
But I have to hand it to this particular president for inventing a brand new type of government. The world's first ever kleptocorporoliautogeronidiokakistocracy
We're all trying to find ways to deal with the redhats among us in the community. One simple way I'm handling it is, if I see one out in public, I put my arm around my husband's waist and I say loudly enough to be heard "Baby c'mon let's move away from the pedophiles."
The New Zealand Parliament maintains a list of banned words and phrases that are considered unparliamentary or in some way unbecoming of a representative, along with the year they were banned, and honestly? A bunch of these need to make a comeback in US politics.
Here are a few choice examples:
- Idle vapourings of a mind diseased (1947)
- His brains could revolve inside a peanut shell for a thousand years without touching the sides (1949)
- Energy of a tired snail returning home from a funeral (1963)
- Silly old moo (1977)
