Trump, Jung and the bully egotists ruling the world
Donald Trump is not one of a kind. Along with Vladimir Putin, Narendra Modi and Xi Jinping, he is just the latest in a long line of ruthless egotists who have risen to power. To varying degrees, the world’s four most powerful men lack empathy.Bob Brown (The Saturday Paper)
But then Vance and Trump are planning to do away with voters, or at least those who don't take their instructions for X!

After 3 wks of silence, the ABA has decided to sue the Trump admin following the president's recent actions to dismantle parts of the federal govt.
“Pres Bay warned that the new admin’s ‘chaotic’ approach is threatening the rule of law and said the ABA will act to ensure legal processes are followed — adding that courts will serve as a ‘bulwark’ against constitutional violations. 👏👏👏

The Constitution of the United States of America says the US Federal Government is made of three branches:
- The Executive: dictatorial President Trump, and a bunch of hand-picked cronies, yes-men, and unelected but paid-up oligarchs like Elon Musk.
- Legislative: GOP-owned Senate and GOP-owned House of Representatives due to voter-suppression, voter-disenfranchisement, and high voter-apathy leading to low voter-turnout in 2024.
- Judicial: GOP-owned Supreme Court and GOP-owned lower Courts.

ACTION ALERT: When Trump Tried to Freeze Federal Funds, WaPo Saw Not Illegality But ‘Determination’
When Trump usurped Congress's power of the purse, the Beltway paper declared this "highlights" the administration's "determination."FAIR
“This is where #democrats either find their spine or lose their #democracy. The stakes aren't just high – they're existential. & right now, the Democratic Party is failing.
They're still playing by rules their opponents abandoned yrs ago, still fighting the last #war & still pretending this is normal politics w/slightly higher stakes.”
#resist #resistance
We’re tired of cooperation w/lawbreakers & frauds.

“Political Capital” no longer exists.
STAND UP & FIGHT!
1. Police/military could escalate and crack down.
2. Black bloc might rush into reciprocal violence.
3. Decentralized movements can splinter and lose coherence.
There are resources that can help point the way.
