Right on Mayor! This rogue regime should be sued every time it crosses the line of violating our Constitutional Rights!

Please make your position known and supported within the courts and your lawyers.

Thank you for being vulnerable and fighting for the right

in 1930s, Hitler emasculated the military, decapitated the judiciary, and forced out academics, persecuting minorities while blaming ‘others’ for Germany’s misfortunes. And the glorification of the fuhrer’s self image. His aim was to inflict a fascist doctrine on the german people, who, like Americans today were inclined to believe that nothing bad could possibly happen to ‘them’.

This no longer a rough correlation, it is now repetition in exact detail, item by item. You can check it out.

Trump is repeating the formula---you can see it happening, step by step, day by day,---while American people are sleepwalking into dictatorship.---just as the German people did in the 1930s.

Why is I happening?

Because Trump is not the disease, he is the symptom---the symptom of universal greed, brought about by the demand that the American dream shall go on forever.

Unfortunately the American dream was the product of superabundant, cheap resources, just an accident of geology. No gods involved.

It was “more’’ forever.---and It delivered the democracy of superabundance,….But withour abundance democract starves to death and dies. That is what is happening right now.

I’ve tried to explain it: The End of More. (Pagett Amazon) tells it like it is. Back in 2011 I forcast a fascist dictator for POTUS by 2016.

I believe the Orange Tide is turning. The courts have stopped almost 200 illegal actions by the Dickler regime. Everyone affected should sue the heck out of the regime and those directly responsible for taking those actions. Something on a progressive podcast today made feel hopeful. The pundit broadcasts from Matt Gaetz' old district in Florida. This guy, including his family and their dog, were getting lots of intimidation and threats from the MAGA trolls. He made a little comment about something he has noticed. Since Dickler has ''gone off the rails'' about 95% of the hate has disappeared. He took this as a sign that the die hard, Kool-Aid drinking MAGA are turned off of Dickler and their support is fading. I am glad for his sake and his family. I like tuning him in. :)

I agree with your analysis completely Kathleen. The tide is indeed turning but there are quite literally thousands of battles yet to be fought. Thank God for our lower court judiciary. Without them the situation would surely be bleak.

Three cheers for the courts. The judges hold the line on Trump; the justices erase it. I dread seeing any case come before them. You never know what part of the Constitution they will override next.

Agree! At one time I held out hopes for the Chief Justice. No longer. Now I'm hoping that ACB will move to the middle a little.. ¿Quien sabé?

Good for him. They put on a show, then dropped the charges while it was impactful to the Mayor. He needs a trial by jury. No jury is going to listen to that and not go his way - I want to watch that trial.

Every resistance, every lawsuit, every push back, every call it what it is, is a hero stepping forward. Thank you Mayor Baraka.

Never stop suing the Trump admin until he’s out of power. If he dies in office then start on the Vance admin.

The media is either ignoring this type of information or is simply refusing to acknowledge the truth that this regime is completely corrupt.

Higher profile than most, but the same principle applies to anyone. Sue Trump and his administration at every opportunity.

At least that will keep the operators of TacoTrump's Great American Gulag busy.
