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

"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."

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.

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. 🤷🏻
