Thanks for this post. Gives me hope to continue. We did take the past few days off to hike, go to the beach and realize the sunrise and sunset still occur. Even Mad Musk has no control over that. Best not to tell him that yet though. "Skipping like a Dipshit" was my favorite descriptor of Musk by Tim Walz.
The Trump/Musk/Putin/Kim alliance is flat out frightening. Throw in people like Peter Thiel and others controlling communications and armaments, and we can see a new fascist Axis with true power.
Do we need to begin thinking like a Fifth Column, or the Resistance? It seems alarmist, but how do we deal with a web of corruption and treason?
We need to teslond in ways that correspond to the nature of the regime. We neex to get outselves together to be ready for whateve opposition will reqiure.
Yes. I’m testing scenarios. One place I think I differ, and hope you are right, is the seriousness of the intent to deport or intern undocumented residents. If there is a major effort (and it might start small, with those already identified, to test the political waters), we may be looking at a resistance/Underground Railroad response. It sounds outrageous, but how reasonable does electing a convicted felon seem?
Thanks for your posts—Marc. Yes, let’s take a breather this weekend and start to plan the RESISTANCE next week. We need to create a progressive movement- like France’s New Popular Front- maybe organize around something like a Green New Deal (see Chantal Mouffe’s Towards a Green Democratic Revolution: Left Populism and the Power of Affects).
