Remember, not long ago he condemned Pres Zelensky for postponing elections in Ukraine while that country is enduring vicious daily attacks on its people and the largest military assault since WWII. Now Trụmp plans to use legal public dissent as a pretext for proclaiming martial law and possibly postponing (indefinitely) the 2026 (and 2028?) national elections. Not surprised, just disgusted. And I too expected that our military would refuse to aid in the desecration of our constitution in service to this fascist regime. I have yet to decide if it is because they support it, because of cowardice, or because they are still preparing for the time when they will take a stand and honor their oath.

Share your concern. In the 1950s, these nut cases were unleashing their hatred on blacks and trying to make people fear a communist take-over of the government and Hollywood. Now, they have switched their target to immigrants (particularly brown and black ones) and socialism. The followers are the hatched offspring of the White Council and KKK.

Sometimes you don't get the option to declare war. It is declared on you.

If the authorities start doing the things they say they are going to do, there may be a civil war or "rogue" (not Hegseth's people) military intervention. Neither is desirable and also threatens national security and may result in civil war( if not already in one.) Hoping people can keep protests peaceful despite any provocations.

Administration (Trump's stupidity) keeps overplaying his cards. I say let him keep doing it so more people who don't quite see him for what and who he is will start to understand. We should let it play out because, as Elon said, Trump's time is limited. Let the clock run. More advantage to our "side" right now. Don't give them the opportunity to play us to their advantage. We don't have to be in a hurry to help create a situation where we are standing in front of tanks. We need to garner more support and make ourselves stronger.

Longer term: #unify-usa.org

Sorry you and all Angelino's are having to go through this. I'm new to your substack and I hope you keep writing. I'd like to say I enjoy your writing, but it scares the shit out me, because you connect and see events to their logical conclusions. Thanks for expanding my awareness.

I've asked those last questions over and over many times. They're on TV commentating! Where are the ones he fired?! We need guidance and they've left us to fend for ourselves.

Gospel. People need to take "if" and "maybe" out of their vocabularies. There will not be a 2026 election, unless Trump and his treasonous comrades are removed.

Hey Jim - really well done. Do you know if there’s a way I could post this video on Instagram? That’s where I see a lot of people I know getting information.

Jim, I wonder if you can weigh in on this...I posted it earlier on our Signal group...I may be totally wrong but remember, this is the Christian nationalists two days before the huge public protest in the US and one day after BiBi nearly lost a vote of confidence in Israel. Remember there is total alignment of the Christian nationals in the US and the Israeli right wing -and Huckabee is their man in Israel

Yup. I was resisting paying, as I don’t really need to make comments, but I can free-ride no longer. There is no more important or more well written and sourced and cross referenced material for this moment. You deserve all the support you can get. You are earning it every day. Thank you.

So, according to DeSantis' logic (or lack thereof), if the National Guard and DHI troops are impeding my progress down the street, I can just run into them with my car as well? What I can't believe is that these scumbags have so many complicit followers. Those ICE "officers" and DHI and random guys with masks and batons and guns and tear gas are ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS. How is it possible that so many of our fellow citizens are willing and able to injure, "detain," and arrest their fellow citizens on the streets of their own cities? I think that's the thing I didn't see coming... but you've been warning us all along, Jim. I just can't believe it's actually happening and no one in our military command is stopping this. They took an oath to defend the Constitution and their fellow citizens from all threats foreign and domestic. How can they justify this blatant fascist abuse of military violence on our own streets? And I heard you loud and clear when you said the staging of Trump's birthday parade was covering for his intended use of military force against his enemies. It's 100% their intention. The soft coup just got hard. What are we going to do now?

I protest nearly every day with my homemade signs, in traffic! It really makes sitting at a red light more interesting if you stick some words out the window that can't be easily censored. I have not had any accidents or arrests yet, although one sign at my house caused a passing reader to hit my truck. Guess I am a paid protestor now, check for damages was depositdd today!
