We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.

Let's say for the sake of argument that the 2024 election was 100% fair, completely above board, completely absent of any foreign influence.
HE'S FUCKING THE CONSTITUTION LIKE A FUCKING FLESHLIGHT!
Just because he was elected, it doesn't make what he's doing right. The maddening thing is, if he was a Democrat, we'd still be protesting but because he's Republican, the right is completely okay with it.
It's cause "the constitution" is just a slavermasters pact. This is what it was designed for. Stop worshiping dead parchment.

Ah yes, the constitution that was famously changed to include such clauses as "no more slavery" and "civil rights for all" is just a slavemasters pack. You're so clearly right and not just a contrarian fuckwit.
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, "
"nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;"
Aside from being incorrect in the details, the rules as written don't matter as much as the rules as enforced. The US constitution is not producing good results for many people.
Also trump isn't eligible under the 14th amendment for the whole insurrection thing.
