I'm actually in Japan at the moment with the choir, but I do have a real whistle around my neck with the words ice blows on one side and a phone number of help on the other.
We have reached the inflection point. You need to make your decision. Are you content being subjugated and abused? Will you cower in fear and hope you go unnoticed, as the bulldozer of oppression reduces cities, citizens and the constitution to rubble?
Or will you make a stand to preserve liberty for your families and future generations? There is no more time to sit and hope the calvary is coming to your rescue. The calvary has been corrupted. The only hero that can save America is YOU.
As tempting as it is to take up arms and bravely battle this criminal regime in retaliation, that premature reaction is exactly what Trump and his cult are hoping for. At this point, reacting violently will provide the oppressors the false justification to declare martial law and suspend future elections.
We may very well get to the point where armed resistance is our last possible defence, but first, before a civil war becomes unavoidable, citizens must unite in protest and hold a nationwide prolonged strike. There needs to be one unified non-negotiable demand. The current criminal regime must be removed from power. If successful, there will be numerous changes to the corrupt system that need to be implemented, but for starters, Trump and his cronies need to be stopped cold.
Anyone paying attention to the daily mayhem and chaotic destruction of lives and liberties in America needs to stop fantasizing about a midterm election correction.
ICE is an extension of Trump's psychopathic belief of his power, a power of a ruler, a dictator, and an abusive father, all rolled in to one. Noem is a reflection of him: designer costumes, $30,000 watch, consistent facial work, and a personal beautician. All of this rolls into egotism at the most extreme, but within it are these two individuals' mental health. Both should be away from any power capabilities and in psychiatric care.
I have a plan for all the oppressors: confiscate their yachts and all their electronics then haul them out on the decommissioned yachts to the area of the oceans where the trash floats thick. Anchor them then have Nestles fly over once a month to drop their packaged garbage down for meal selections
How bad is it? My family started arriving in Northeast America from Britain in the late 1600s, & I’m terrified of ICE’s goons! Where are my proof of citizenship papers!?! More importantly, how must recent immigrants feel? Off the charts terror!
When I contemplate the horrors of what that ICE did to Renee in Minneapolis on Wednesday, I mourn for her, and her family, her friends, her neighbors, and her community. I, with others tear up imagining what was left undone for all these humans in her absence. The unrelenting horror they and we will continue to live with.
But I also wonder about that ICE. I can’t allow myself to think of, and I won’t mention his name, but I can see his face from the still captured from that video record of his unbridled evil and terrorism. I wonder what made him so angry, so hateful, so out of control as to unleash a fusillade to the face of an unarmed, non-threatening woman trying to get away from him … what?
And where is he now? What is he doing? What is he thinking? What are his plans and intentions? How is his “health”? Is he back at his “job”?
And besides primping, preening, and genuflecting before the cameras and their evil lord, all whilst issuing forth more lies, what are those of those who shared in pulling that ICE trigger? More terror on US? It appears that is, after all, all this regime is capable of offering.
I hope that people will consider this: The Trump regime has just classified practicing Christians as "domestic terrorists."
These folks in Minneapolis were doing what good neighbors do: Loving and protecting their fellow neighbors. "Loving the stranger" and loving one's neighbor as one's self are the key components of the Christian message.
The "foreign invasion" did not come from immigrants seeking a better life. Y'all know that.
Renee Good did not know she'd be sacrificing her life for her cause that morning. I will say a prayer of thanks there were no children or others in the path of that vehicle she could no longer control -- It could have easily been otherwise.
Protesting is good! But, instead of trying to pressure demonstrably corrupt politicians to change their bought and paid for positions, why don’t you try demanding their resignations for flagrantly violating their oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States?
Go to my Substack (The Illusion of Justice) and read the two page introduction letter for a link for a free digital copy of my book: The Illusion of Justice. It contains incontrovertible proof that the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties have been conspiring together to pack the courts with corrupt judges who have nothing but contempt for the rule of law. If proof of treason is not cause enough to throw these bastards out of office—what the hell would be? Besides, whether you realize it or not, this is how they have been getting away with everything you have ever protested.
My two oldest sons have decided to move abroad. One has been gone for several years, the other is boarding his flight tomorrow. Daughter and youngest son are still here, but for how long? This corrupt regime is tearing my life apart. I spent 9 years after high school to gain an education. Another 10 years in the educational system, undergrad and graduate. Another 20 years in government service. Since '98 I have worked in the airline business and the healthcare world. For what? We paid for our kid's education, grade school and college. They all graduated debt free. Now two are gone from the US. One retired after a 30 year career in service of the criminal justice system. Another decided the US is not the country where he wants to raise his family. I still work so I can afford to send donations to whomever I feel is protesting effectively or running for office to oppose this corrupt fascist regime. "Too much is never enough for Trump" so let us show him that there is never going to be enough protest.
Mike, thanks for putting together this guide to gatherings.
Nothing is going to change until you wake up and realize both parties are corrupt and we collectively demand an end to the system of legalized bribery that is the cause of all the problems in the world.
My name is Ted Martin. I have finished writing a book about my first hand encounters with a morbidly corrupt federal judicial system. The book is titled: The Illusion of Justice and contains documented, incontrovertible proof of widespread systemic corruption in the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, the United States Supreme Court, the Administrative Office of United States Courts, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the U.S. Department of Justice. (There is a link for a free digital copy of my book in this post.)
The corruption is undeniable. The judges in both of my cases incorporated the defendant’s fraudulent defenses into their opinions even after I pointed out the fraud in every brief that I filed. These “judges” are clearly taking dictation from corporate defense counsel without even reading the plaintiff’s briefs.
These black robed grifters obviously fixed both of my cases. But, by far, the worst part was knowing that they were systematically violating everyone’s constitutional rights—they just got caught violating mine.
The Supreme Court not only ignored two of the most egregious cases of judicial misconduct imaginable (my cases) but also an amicus brief by former Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Richard Posner in which he blows the whistle on rampant corruption in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
Judge Posner’s amicus brief can be found on the Supreme Court’s website at www.supremecourt.gov (Go to CASE DOCUMENTS at the bottom of the web page and click Docket Search. Enter 17-8352 in the box and click SEARCH. When Docket for 17-8352 appears, click it to find Judge Posner’s amicus brief.)
It will be painfully obvious to anyone who reads my book (or Judge Posner’s amicus brief) that the Supreme Court denies certiorari without even bothering to read the petitions submitted by the citizens of the United States. This obscene betrayal of the public trust is a clear-cut violation of every Justice’s judicial oath and a crime under federal law that is commonly referred to as honest services fraud.
In short, my book proves that the leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties have been conspiring together to pack the courts with corrupt corporate judges who will never side with the American people. This was abundantly clear when Senator Chuck Schumer and the other Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee repeatedly refused to use irrefutable evidence of judicial misconduct by Amy Coney Barrett (a Republican nominee) at her Supreme Court confirmation hearing.
This bipartisan band of seditious conspirators also refused to address the underlying corruption in clear violation of their oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
The only difference between the two major political parties is the rhetoric. The special interest groups running this country don’t give a damn which bribe taking stooge you vote for or even if you vote at all. They have already successfully rigged every election by controlling “our” choices.
The leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties have been caught red-handed conspiring to pack the courts with corrupt judges who will never side with you. If there was ever a reason to be a one issue voter, this is it. Besides, any politician caught lying about their fidelity to the Constitution and laws of the United States is obviously lying about everything—particularly their agenda.
Republicans push the corrupt corporate agenda. Democrats pretend to be opposed. Together, they sell their offices to the highest bidders. They foment war for the military industrial complex, promote racism for the prison industrial complex, refuse to restrict access to assault weapons for the gun manufactures, permit large quantities of toxic cancer causing chemicals to be dumped into our air, land, and water for the chemical manufactures, deny needed medical care to our country’s citizens for the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries, and turn a willful blind eye to the catastrophic effects of global warming for the fossil fuel industries. The list of their greed fueled crimes against humanity goes on and on.
Voting your current elected representatives out of office should be a no brainer. But, to make sure that they are not replaced with another batch of equally corrupt corporate stooges, we’re also going to have to take back both the Republican and Democratic parties and get the money out of politics.
While this may appear to be a daunting task, all we really need is a sound plan. After giving this matter some careful consideration, I have the following proposal: We agree to put aside all of our ideological differences and unite as Americans in support of the Constitution of the United States.
If you read my book, it really won’t be that difficult. You will know who the real enemy is and it certainly isn’t your fellow citizens. We just need to become one issue voters. Ignore their contrived wedge issues, bullshit talking points, and cringe worthy campaign ads. If they are not fighting tooth and nail to get the money out of politics—don’t legitimize them with your vote.
Seriously, if in doubt—throw them out. Besides, any government official who is not forcefully calling for the resignations of the corrupt leaders of their own political party is, by definition, violating their oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
Whether Republican or Democrat, a treasonous corporate criminal is a treasonous corporate criminal, they serve the same master and nothing is going to change until we get the money out of politics.
*You get the money out of politics by publicly funding elections, banning all campaign contributions, and, in exchange for their broadcasting/operating licenses, requiring news organizations to give every candidate for public office an equal amount of free advertising space.
In the future, I may write a book titled: The Illusion of Journalism. But for now, I’m just going to say that the media is not going to help anyone blow the whistle on their partners in crime. In the past four years, I couldn’t find a single news organization that hadn’t sold us out.
All an honest journalist would have to do is read Judge Posner’s amicus brief to know that the courts are irretrievably corrupt. Reading my book will conclusively show that the courts are corrupt by design.
P.S. I blame the Federalist Society for the corruption in the federal judicial system. The six so-called conservative justices on the Supreme Court, Mitch McConnell, and all the Republican Senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee are members of the Federalist Society. Donald Trump picked “his” judicial nominees from lists provided by the Federalist Society.
I didn’t know that the Democrats were in on it until I tried to give them proof of judicial misconduct by Amy Coney Barrett at her Supreme Court confirmation hearing. If you would like to read about their disgraceful conduct, you can skip ahead to the Postscript on page 221 of my book. But, by all means, read the rest of the book. The federal government is more corrupt than you can possibly imagine!
The murder of Rene Good is every bit as bad as the murder of George Floyd. Both due to the arrogance, stupidity and inhumanity of law enforcement.
The officer responsible must be held accountable. Any others who were complicit must also be brought to justice.
Power corrupts. Give a disaffected man a gun, a badge and full body amour and of course, face mask and Kevlar combat helmet and you have RoboCop.
I'm actually in Japan at the moment with the choir, but I do have a real whistle around my neck with the words ice blows on one side and a phone number of help on the other.

Silence is complicity. Demand to be heard!
Onward and Upward Michael 💥💪 and will reStack ASAP 💯👍
Just signed up.
Angry.
Push back on Ice
Why couldn't they have just shot the tires?
When I contemplate the horrors of what that ICE did to Renee in Minneapolis on Wednesday, I mourn for her, and her family, her friends, her neighbors, and her community.

Mike, you're right again! I haven't been hearing from you much in awhile, I don't know why--but as usual, you're right on the money!
I hope that people will consider this: The Trump regime has just classified practicing Christians as "domestic terrorists."
