"As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action...Words are used to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests." Gore Vidal, Imperial America, 2004
T om Sullivan has a post that looks at what might have been a silent protest by those military personnel tasked with marching in the parade old Donald Trump demanded take place last weekend. One measure of this regime's ability to end democracy once and for all is if Trump has the military on board. He might not after all.
Compilation of some of the footage of the no Kings protests across the US by u/oneoftheleastofthese in GlobalNews I was at one protest in my respective city and I was really happy with the turnout, which was bigger than a BLM protest held at that same location in town in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd in 2020. The level of energy was amazing. As I have probably stated before, showing up matters.
