The NRA and right wing gun culture has convinced a generation that the 2A is about your right to own a gun.

The 2A is explicitly about your right to organize members of your community in order to defend your community, the fact that you need weapons for that means that you must also have the right to own weapons.

No, they would be fucking heros

Maybe the people should hold the media liable for not reporting seriously on serious events that demand our attention?

Well, I’m over 40, so I know a bit about WW2.

Mostly from the documentaries I fall asleep to in the afternoons.

They only have that kind of power over life because they claim it. They, and most other people, don’t realize how fragile their position actually is, should others seek the same.

If a video appears to show something then it shows something, right? Am I crazy? If a video shows something then it automatically appears to show it, right?

Am I talking nonsense, or is this just another case of the media sanewashing what is obviously a fascist crackdown on the citizenry?

You mean the ones that have been voting for this stuff since the 80s? I hope they get what they deserve

This year. Get out while the borders are open.

Some people have to stay behind to sabotage the Regime.

You don’t even need the courts of your side. The Regime has directly defied court orders time and time again.

What you really need is a citizenry that’s too afraid or complicit to defend themselves.

For just a second I thought Terry Crews was leading Antifa

Protesting is only effective because there is the implication that if nothing changes, the people will make a change.

What happens when the powers that be realize that the US people are all bark and no bite? Well, exactly the sort of stuff that is happening in Minnesota right now

Also they are saying don’t shop or go to school. So a strike plus other stuff, it looks like.

I love the energy but not shopping for one day does nothing.

People are just going to delay their purchases. Better would be to cut all unnecessary purchases, or to be selective about where you shop. Having lower than average numbers one day and higher than average numbers the next is literally not even going to move the needle.

The work stoppage, on the other hand, is a little more promising.

Exactly. So when a new president is sworn in, even if Trump and his cronies don’t care, the military will still follow the new Presidents orders and will have no legal reason to follow Trumps.

At least, hypothetically.

AFAIK the military still cares about rules. So that’s kind of a big reason to do the necessary legwork.

Which is why the House is often called “the People’s House”.

That’s illegal!

Tell it to the tribunal

They should just kiss

2 weeks? That’s like a once a decade vacation.
