The president plans to invade Chicago this week. Now to schedule the vet appointment and get the kids’ backpacks ready for school!

Stocking up on school supplies and ammunition.
😬
How we function thru all of this is a minor miracle
He won't have much luck with that. Chicago is not DC. youtu.be/Avc68PVRk0g
And don’t forget, “States’ rights!?”
Was wondering when he’d get to my hometown! 🙌
💀💀💀💀
Bro I JUST STARTED JUNIOR YEAR
Well said as it affects us all in every aspect of daily life. My stomach turns more. I fear the future for us. I morn the destruction.
And don't forget all the fantasy draft prep 🙃
“Plan for delays”
If only Trump had precedent for this action... On Sat July 22, 1967, a Detroit nightclub hosted a party for two black soldiers recently returned from Vietnam. Police raided the club. As they loaded the soldiers and their friends into paddy wagons, locals threw objects at the police -->
--> Mich Gov George Romney called out the Nat'l Guard. Pres Johnson deployed the US Army. After four days of rioting 43 U.S. citizens were dead and 1000+ injured. The US Army then began a surveillance operation against "radicals." -- In the Sup Court, the majority ruled that -->
--> the judiciary had no auth'y to review Exec action. Justice Wm O Douglass blasted this abdication of the Sup Ct's explicit Art. III power and denigration of Const'l precepts. -->
"This case involves a cancer in our body politic. It is a measure of the disease which afflicts us. Army surveillance ... is at war with the principles of the 1st Amd. Those who already walk submissively will say there is no cause for alarm. But submissiveness is not our heritage."
Prepare the Deep Dish Launchers
Good example of how most Americans are reacting to military invading our cities. And why is that? Because our U.S. corporate mainstream media have turned the "news" into a ridiculous clown show, so many Americans simply don't pay attention anymore about the danger that's here & only getting worse.
I feel this in parts of my soul I would prefer to not to activate with regularity the past [checks watch]… decade.
Remember to place Kevlar panels in the kiddo's knapsacks.
I am so sorry.
maybe it's time to take to the streets.
My wife is going to Chicago on a business conference in 3 weeks. I am a little worried.
Guerrilla warfare...
At Lincoln Park Zoo we call it Gorilla Warfare!!
It's crazy, but I feel like a squirrel with the headlights of a car bearing down, unable to figure out which way to run. I know I am falling prey to the trap they are setting, but I don't know how to break free.
Thanks for your post and the other comments. I'm really having trouble with outrage/life balance.
I always wondered how avg people in Nazi Germany reacted to the fascist takeover...and it turns out the answer is as simple as 'kept going to work'
I think about that too. It's crazy because we know what happens in a fascist regime and we decided that's what we want.
Exactly. In Germany, we‘re having the „How could people let this happen“ discussion since I can remember. Right now, we can watch in real time how something like this happens.
„According to this, Hitler's tactic was to continually offer new things to his growing following and to prevent the "excitement-ridden population from finding peace and coming to a clear sense of purpose."“ German historian Götz Aly in an interview published today in Der Spiegel about his latest
book „Wie konnte das geschehen? Deutschland 1933-1945“ (How could this happen? Germany 1933-1945) www.spiegel.de/politik/deut...
I feel like I should be stockpiling ammo and fortifying shooting positions and not packing s’mores for a week long camping trip to New Hampshire.
But will the kid, or won’t they, learn the 10 Commandments as homework?
Must of us aren’t positioned to initiate or lead real large scale resistance. And those who are so positioned are mostly failing the moment. If there were a well organized resistance many of us would follow. I go to every protest I can, etc. But I can’t organize a March on Washington. 🤷🏻
I hope the governor's stance will deter him.
Don’t have a SoundCloud but I do have this bsky.app/profile/denn...
I'm prepping for a colonoscopy, business as usual
I really keep thinking about the things I can't directly affect: the rise of fascism And the things I can: making sure I eat the tomatoes I bought before they go bad
also, the dentist. Remind me about the dentist.
DC ≠ Chicago so we need to know and understand whether Trump has the authority to take over Chicago in any important way other than guarding federal buildings and personnel (e.g. anonymized ICE agents) against injury. What do we know?
