This Saturday April 19th is the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution. You know what would be the most American way to celebrate it?

By going to one of the nationwide protests planned this Saturday, April 19th.

The Westboro Baptist Church is one of the most vulgar, intolerant, inappropriate, gross organizations to ever claim to be part of the Christian faith. They would assemble at the funerals of veterans waving signs that said, “God hates fags” and “God loves dead soldiers”, among various other disgraceful slogans, all directed at the families of fallen American military personnel as they were being laid to rest, all in the name of some twisted homophobia, correlating the loss of lives to “god” punishing America. Their shameful displays are constitutionally protected under the first amendment.

The Klu klux klan has held massive demonstrations in Washington DC and around the country in the past. More recently neo Nazi groups have marched and gathered in cities across Ohio, Tennessee, and North Carolina. These groups preach a message of white supremacy, the inferiority of ethnic groups of color, and an embrace of fascist, totalitarian rule. Their discriminatory, repugnant displays are constitutionally protected under the First Amendment.



The first amendment guarantees the right to express one’s views regardless the depravity. To think and say what one feels without fear of judicial repercussions.

Harvard, the PAC 10, and all the institutions of higher learning are obliged to offer the curriculum of their liking. To approach the subjects as they see fit. To instruct their faculty on matters of importance.

For all the fake free speech absolutists. All the cosplay first amendment warriors. The entire “don’t tread on me” crowd. What’s the justification of this? How does instructing universities on what they can and can’t offer their students reflect the rights enshrined in the constitution.

The freedoms and liberties granted under the constitution apply to all peoples residing in America. If it applies to one it applies to all. There is no picking and choosing of who these rights are granted to, based on the particular topic or party.

Fear is powerful. Fear is rooted in the most instinctual part of the mind. The, fight, fright or flight, has been a defense mechanism in nearly all creatures. If you’ve ever seen a herd of dear, or a flock of birds get spooked, when one darts away in fear, the rest follow. It’s contagious.

Courage is not a survival instinct. It is an act not often seen in the animal kingdom. Protecting offspring, or asserting dominance tend to be the occasions it’s seen with wild animals. But humans have long been stubborn, and frankly, kinda dumb when it comes to courage.

Yet, courage is contagious as well. In ancient battles, soldiers looked to their leaders to find them bravely charging the enemy on the battlefield, it filled them with strength. When outnumbered gladiators took on opponents in the arena it filled the crowd with awe. When John Hancock wrote his name first in large print it gave others hope.

Good for Harvard for standing up and charging into the battlefield! Good for all of us who participated in the ongoing protest against tyranny. Good for the artists and creators who speak out in defiance of authoritarianism.

KEEP THAT SH*T UP!!!

We will not obey in advance! We will not slink silently into the darkness. We will not simply allow some 2 bit reality tv personality to remake OUR country in his image!

More pushback... keep it going, but don't leave it to politicians and public personalities. Get involved locally and huddle up to get your voice out there.

Nearly 400,000 people have signed up to attend over 1,000 events in all 50 states. We hope to see you in the streets in two days to let Trump and Musk know they can't intimidate us into submission.

FIND A RALLY NEAR YOU!

5th year anniversary for the game

Oliver Willis at Daily Kos:

Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill held closed door meetings where they complained that voters from around the country are organizing and asking them to be stronger in resisting President Donald Trump’s harmful agenda. Axios reports that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries attended the meetings in question, along with members of the House Steering & Policy Committee. The outlet reports that a senior House Democrat told them that Jeffries is “very frustrated” at activist groups like MoveOn and Indivisible that have helped concerned Americans make phone calls to congressional offices. The source added that “people are pissed” that Democrats are receiving pressure to significantly increase their opposition to Trump. “There were a lot of people who were like, 'We've got to stop the groups from doing this,’” a source told Axios. Democratic Rep. Don Beyer of Virginia reportedly complained, "It's been a constant theme of us saying, 'Please call the Republicans.'" “Our supporters are asking Democrats to demand specific red lines are met before they offer their vote to House Republicans on the budget, when Republicans inevitably fail to pass a bill on their own,” Indivisible cofounder Leah Greenberg explained. She said voters have said they want more concrete action from Democrats beyond floor speeches decrying Elon Musk.

Since Trump took office congressional offices have reported a massive increase in calls. A memo distributed to Senate staffers last week read, “The Senate is experiencing an unusually high volume of inbound calls. External callers may receive a temporary busy signal when phoning a Senate office.”

Embarrassing and out-of-touch moment by Democratic leadership attacking MoveOn and Indivisible and similar groups.
