A simple question

20 degrees, ice everywhere, wind chill down to 10 at most, and winds so strong in the downtown Boston side street wind tunnels that I could barely move, I'm amazed the rally looked to me like it got a couple thousand people even with no speakers and little publicity. 

I do wish we were seeing more leadership on this from, ya know, actual leaders. General strike, protests, shadow cabinets, marches - everything should be on the table, and the silence on this from our elected leaders here in Mass is deafening. At one organizing event over the weekend, I heard concerns expressed by others about where the push for marches like the one today are coming from, and if they are "safe" to attend. While I don't share that concern, I do wonder if the attendance would be better if these were more "sanctioned" events. (Yes, I'm aware of the irony of asking for a protest march to be 'approved' but I think people understand the distinction.) 

I am glad someone organized this, and I am grateful, but the messaging was off. Not the sign holders but the megaphone people. Repeating all the mistakes we made over the last four years and focusing on identity stuff when we need to be focusing on wealth redistribution and not being robbed by sociopathic ghouls. I did not think chants of Fuck Trump were especially inspiring. But then i didn’t exactly grab a megaphone myself either.

Napoleon was a soldier. Donald Trump is a coward.

This is not a constitutional crisis, but a constitutional transformation not unlike that from the Roman republic to the Roman empire.

It's driven by constitutional dysfunction, on the one hand, and the massive concentration of wealth into the hands of a few very powerful individuals whose power now outweighs that of the government itself.

Trump is America's Boris Yeltsyn, a transitional figure between the old regime and the emerging new oligarchy which, at the moment, appears to be led by Elon Musk.

These demonstrations are too little, too late. Democracy was on the ballot on November 5, and it lost.

I keep getting timeouts and stupid Cloudflare errors.

Why did you have to change it? It was working perfectly fine before.
