The Resistance

[Noogies]

Addendum: The farther the country goes down the MAGA rabbithole, the better everything that came before looks. The bar keeps getting lower -- at this point, a lot of people would be willing to accept a moderate Republican agenda they never would have tolerated before just as long as it isn't run by a bunch of crazy fuckers.

Instead, what it's going to take is for a red congressional district somewhere in the USA to allow an anti-Trump Republican to successfully primary a MAGA incumbent. When that can happen, the a true turning point will have been reached.

Nah, that red congressional district will have to elect a Democrat. If the Repubs keep pissing off their voters and the Dems give them a good reason to vote blue, it could happen.

Yeah, it's a disgrace that the Lithuanian officials were able to summon more honor and respect for the deceased soldiers than the American president could. I guess he just figured they were suckers and losers anyway.

FWIW the next protest is scheduled for 4/19. The number of Americans participating in the 4/5 protest was reported between three to five million. It would be great if the DC protest was held in the same spot Felon did his speech from before his mob attacked the Capitol.

They were going to make it for 4/20 but it was felt that too many potential participants might forget to show up.

Worse yet, if too many did show up. Isn't the U.S. Capitol "downwind" ( ) of the National Mall?

I might resemble that remark. Full disclosure, I was served breakfast in West Potomac Park by a certain Dr. Spock. It was granola in a chow line set up by some hippy commune, the Hog Farm back in '70.

Missed out on a little of that old timey furor up in L.A. today...

Joan Baez, Neil Young and others were lending a hand to the Bernie and AOC movement. I hope they attract many other musicians and teachers to their cause over the coming summer of discontent.

""We are going to make our revolution with joy," Sanders told the crowd as he thanked the musicians who played before his speech. "We're going to sing and dance our way to victory against hatred and divisiveness."

Sanders' tour has also stopped in cities like Denver and Tempe, Arizona, and they'll hit several more markets, including Salt Lake City, Nampa, Idaho, Bakersfield, Folsom and Missoula, Montana, in the coming days.

"We are in a moment of extraordinary danger," Sanders told the crowd, further stating that the Trump administration is "moving us into an authoritarian form of society."

"Mr. Trump, we are not going there," Sanders said.

Starting at 9:30 a.m., the rally also featured artists including Jeff Rosenstock, Indigo De Souza, Red Pears and David Longstreth of the Dirty Projectors. The performances were sandwiched between speeches from teachers, nurses, union heads, city council members and congress-members advocating for reforms both wide-ranging and more specific, from universal healthcare to tenant rights, to protecting immigrants to better pay for production assistants in Hollywood. The overarching theme though, as the "fighting oligarchy" title would suggest, was tackling wealth disparity in the country."
