And likewise, if you're concerned about tankies driving the message of the protest, join the movement and add your voice.

I need America to not fall to the current fascists literally in power right now, who are making lists of people with genetic traits, who are kidnapping residents and citizens off the streets and putting them in black sites, and who are arresting judges, while they stiffle Congress, supreme courts, and state and city governments.

I have one enemy who wants to kill me, and another who wears a colored shirt. I know who my enemy is and who I need to protest against.

I know which plays a larger threat.

Please show up at your local mayday protest next Thursday, check with 50501. This cannot continue.

The cabinet will not save us.

The legislature will not save us.

The courts will not save us.

We must save us.

3.5% or more of the US must come out and protest this coming Thursday and through the weekend.

Skip work, skip school, skip whatever you can, if it's not stopped soon with a show of unity we will not recover.

$500 per week - 500x48=24k with 4 weeks of thankfully "unpaid" vacation

Really important that she both acknowledges her privilege, and also the oft neglected responsibility to make actions with that privilege to advance the goals of those who do not have access to that privilege - what a role model.

I'd counter part of that is that US law is based on common law, which is defined by prior court cases not just law - vs civil law which is only based on law.

There are issues with both of course, but, its common law that requires lawyers and knowledge of every court case and knowing what a judge in the 1800s thought a word means to win or lose a case.

I think the common law system of justice is deeply flawed and leads to this legalese where everything is vague and malleable with no certainty

I bet Trump's team feels so clever with this scheme, the bastards
