This is an excellent Evan Dyer piece on how #BigHands constantly lies.

It's one thing to cheat at Monopoly with your little kids, to teach them the importance of a corrupt economic system. It's another thing as a leader to constantly lie about information, and to exploit and intimidate and threaten your allies.

End the fascist.

Is Evan Dyer related to Gwynne Dyer? I mean, could be obvious?

Please share this. America needs to understand that it is under imminent threat from a would-be fascist tyrant.

From the #Nazis in DC who claim they are protecting Jews from #antisemitism. #NIH councils can meet but their research includes a religious lithmus test.

"Earlier this month, the Trump administration began demanding that international researchers funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention answer political questions, such as whether they work to “combat Christian persecution” or collaborate with communist governments."

If you go through my feed I've been posting videos and pictures and local news articles about the protests that are going on every day all over the United States.

At any other time in my lifetime, this would have been swamping the landing pages on every #media outlet. I just checked CNN, CBS, and ABC and NOT ONE SINGLE WORD. They're all like Baghdad Bob: "There are no Americans protesting!"

If that makes you as angry as it makes me, let the networks know!

Columbia University bends a knee and capitulates to the Trump regime. They’ve agreed to ban masks and empower police to arrest students.

This is the epitome of fascism. Please look back at what the Nazis did to education.

They wanted people uninformed and/or indoctrinated. The Hitler Youth Program effectively brainwashed children to become full on Nazis.

Schools should be a safe place for kids to express differing opinions, learn about other people and cultures and become tolerant, compassionate citizens of the world

They should be able to do that while protecting their health and the health of their community

This is a devastating blow to public health, democracy and freedom:

Went to Burger Boy the other day. Had just ordered when I saw a Trump cutout behind the counter. “Why do you have a cutout of Trump?” “Ah, our owner blah blah we also have a Biden hat blah blah…” “So is he a Trump supporter?” “Well, he’s 50/50… although he really loves RFK Jr.…”

Needless to say, no more burgers from Burger Boy for me.

Miriam Adelson is the founder of the Maccabee Task Force, an organization supporting #Fascism via the suppression of free speech and the promotion of #Israel right or wrong. It is very rich of her to name her organization after the Maccabees. The Maccabees actively fought against the genocide of their people following the Greek conquest of the Middle East. Adelson is actively promoting it.

Hey, the cowardly #GOP Congress critters are starting to get more scared of their constituents than Trump! Good!

So, this article outlines what the nominee for director of #HomelandSecurity has planned for #SilencingDissent in the US...

From 2019: South Dakota Governor #KristiNoem Caves on Attempted Efforts to Silence #PipelineProtesters

ACLU, October 24, 2019

"South Dakota’s governor and attorney general today backed down from their unconstitutional attempts to silence pipeline protestors. In response to a lawsuit we filed alongside the ACLU of South Dakota and the Robins Kaplan law firm, the state has agreed to never enforce the unconstitutional provisions of several state laws that threatened activists who encourage or organize protests, particularly protests of the #KeystoneXL [#KXL] pipeline, with fines and criminal penalties of up to 25 years in prison.

"The settlement agreement reached today and now headed to the court for approval is an important victory for the right to protest. It comes soon after a federal court temporarily blocked enforcement of the pieces of the laws that infringed on First Amendment protected speech, and makes the court’s temporary block a permanent one.

"The laws include the #RiotBoostingAct, which gave the state the authority to sue individuals and #organizations for 'riot boosting,' a novel and confusing term. The court warned against the laws’ broad reach, noting that the laws could have prohibited:

- Sending a supporting email or a letter to the editor in support of a protest
- Giving a cup of coffee or thumbs up or $10 to protesters
- Holding up a sign in protest on a street corner
- Asking someone to protest

"Under the First Amendment, that is impermissible.

"The court rightly recognized the stakes of this case. And it put these #AntiProtest efforts in perspective, asking 'if these riot boosting statutes were applied to the protests that took place in Birmingham, Alabama, what might be the result?' The answer: 'Dr. King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference could have been liable under an identical riot boosting law[.]'

"Indeed, South Dakota’s unconstitutional anti-protest efforts echoed the suppression of past social movements. From the start, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem called on 'shut[ting] down' 'out-of-state people' who come into South Dakota to 'slow and stop construction' of the pipeline. Her harmful calls were reminiscent of government attempts throughout our history to delegitimize and minimize significant #SocialMovements as the work of 'outside agitators,' including Reverend #MartinLutherKingJr.

"South Dakota’s quick and costly retreat (they’ll have to compensate plaintiffs for attorney’s fees under the settlement agreement) should serve as a lesson for other legislatures considering similar efforts to silence dissent.

"In the last few years, we have witnessed a legislative trend of states seeking to criminalize protest, deter political participation, and curtail freedom of association. These bills appear to be a direct reaction from politicians and corporations to some of the most effective tactics of those speaking out today, including water protectors challenging pipeline construction, Black Lives Matter, and those calling for boycotts of Israel. These legislative moves are aimed at suppressing dissent and undercutting marginalized and over-policed groups voicing concerns that disrupt current power dynamics.

"But the First Amendment guarantees people the right to voice their opposition. This includes our clients — four organizations (the #SierraClub, #NDNCollective, #DakotaRuralAction, and the #IndigenousEnvironmentalNetwork - #IEN) and two individuals (#NickTilsen with NDN Collective and #DallasGoldtooth with Indigenous Environmental Network) — all of whom are protesting construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and encouraging others to do the same.

"Construction of the Keystone XL pipeline may be imminent. Pre-construction activities resumed this month, and a hearing on the new Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the pipeline, which will serve as the basis for approval of any future permits, is coming up next Monday.

"With the laws we challenged proclaimed unenforceable, protesters and protectors no longer have to worry about incarceration or fines as they protest against the construction. That is, at a minimum, how democracy should work."

From 2019:

What the President Could Do If He Declares a #StateOfEmergency
From seizing control of the #internet to declaring #MartialLaw, President #Trump may legally do all kinds of extraordinary things.

by Elizabeth Goitein | January/February 2019

"It would be nice to think that America is protected from the worst excesses of Trump’s impulses by its democratic laws and institutions. After all, Trump can do only so much without bumping up against the limits set by the Constitution and Congress and enforced by the courts. Those who see Trump as a threat to democracy comfort themselves with the belief that these limits will hold him in check.
But will they? Unknown to most Americans, a parallel legal regime allows the president to sidestep many of the constraints that normally apply.

"The moment the president declares a 'national emergency' — a decision that is entirely within his discretion — more than 100 special provisions become available to him. While many of these tee up reasonable responses to genuine emergencies, some appear dangerously suited to a leader bent on amassing or retaining power. For instance, the president can, with the flick of his pen, activate laws allowing him to shut down many kinds of electronic communications inside the United States or freeze Americans’ bank accounts. Other powers are available even without a declaration of emergency, including laws that allow the president to #DeployTroops inside the country to subdue #DomesticUnrest.

"This edifice of extraordinary powers has historically rested on the assumption that the president will act in the country’s best interest when using them. With a handful of noteworthy exceptions, this assumption has held up. But what if a president, backed into a corner and facing electoral defeat or impeachment, were to declare an emergency for the sake of holding on to power? In that scenario, our laws and institutions might not save us from a presidential power grab. They might be what takes us down."

it's a simple of question of how much of us they take with them

I'm back from my latest terrorist activity, i.e. supporting our postal workers at a peaceful protest outside a post office downtown.

There were a lot of postal workers in their union shirts, but also people like me who just showed up in support. We got insane amounts of honking and waving from people in traffic, even a DHL truck! All the postal service workers laughed at that, but as one of them said, "Yeah, we're all in this together."

“‘I learned with concern that a French researcher,’ on a mission for the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), ‘who was going to a conference near Houston was banned from entering American territory before being expelled,’ said the Minister of Higher Education and Research, Philippe Baptiste, in a statement sent to Agence France-Presse (AFP). ‘This measure was allegedly taken by the American authorities because this researcher's phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friendly relationships in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration's research policy,’ he added.”

Donald Trump's wild directives might well ruin the US economy and undermine his political support — briefly.

Remember, in George Orwell's "1984," Oceania is in economic ruins, and in a state of perpetual war with shifting enemies and allies.

Economic ruin is a feature, not a bug.

There shall be a brief window during which Trump may be impeached, then it shall be closed forever.

Cutting the size has increased the cost in most cases in the past decades. It has also decreased the quality of the outcome in most occasions. The only goal this neoliberal populism has achieved is to destabilize and weaken labor and its organized resistance, which is the true face of neoliberalism.

#Neoliberalism =anti-#Syndicalism = #Fascism = #anti-communsim

It is capital's reaction to labor organization for 1.5 centuries, dressed with pseudo-ideology and tons of #populism
