"If the Trump Administration ends Habeas Corpus then immediately upon the next Democrat taking office the entire Trump Administration will be placed immediately under arrest with no right to representation or legal defense."

Hakeem Jeffries, stop being a p***y.

We all keep talking about doing more. Or what can we do. I talked with a coworker, bc one of the biggest things we all seem to be afraid of is going up against a militarized police force in addition to loyalists in the military. Media doesn't help, by dooming with their constant asking 'what can the judicial branch do? They have no executive force under their control.'

Oh yes they do- or, at least, they could. See, there's this fun trick that the judicial branch can pull where they can deputize citizens, basically making them sherrifs when the police force or other arresting forces do not comply with the orders. Deputizing means you can enter into places you normally couldn't, with immunity, and can carry a sidearm to defend yourself if needed.

Just imagine for a second that we convince the judges- who are already actively making moves against the administration- to deputize a large enough force to protect the people, reverse uno and arrest ICE agents and law enforcement that are compromised, and then the administration themselves. It's crazy, but I think this could work IF enough of us push for our judges on state and federal levels to do this.

Or am I just crazy, and this wouldn't work?

I’m really frustrated with how this all feels like not enough. We’re all worried about “midterm elections” when the dude is thinking about literally tearing away habeus corpus. He’s already done that illegally… and our response is… oooo wait till we kick out some of your representatives…

Really? Sigh.. is there anyone who sees this? Or is this just me?

I am volunteering for a lot of roles here in NC. I went to the 4/19 protest and felt a bit dismayed because the sense of urgency and passion and call to action was not of the moment. Here’s what it felt like..

Imagine a kid being dragged away by a pack of wolves and instead of jumping into action with whatever you could at that moment.. you wished the kid the best of luck and hope that they save them for 550 days from now.

This is the situation we’re in. All I heard is about midterm elections. About supporting the community.. about religious views .. this isn’t doing anything but self-soothing.

A national boycott might have the most impact on those in power. No buying of anything, other than necessities like food. Buying from small, local businesses would be ok. But, no buying cars, technology, etc. A boycott would also undermine the administrations tendency towards violence against protestors. Would people be willing to do that until Trump is removed?

PS I am very supportive of protesting.

"I have spoken with my wonderful Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, and we agree that the Biden/Harris so-called 'Digital Equity Act' is totally UNCONSTITUTIONAL. No more woke handouts based on race! The Digital Equity Program is a RACIST and ILLEGAL $2.5 BILLION DOLLAR giveaway. I am ending this IMMEDIATELY, and saving Taxpayers BILLIONS OF DOLLARS!"
