A constitutional convention isn’t rebellion.
It’s maintenance.
If the machinery drifts, you repair it.
You don’t scream at the noise.

Democratic Drift.

If one good thing can come out of the horrors of the Trump Regime it is America realizing it was not just MAGA causing whatever this is but the whole American political system enabling it and the American people demanding a grass roots peoples constitutional convention to create a new system and constitution from first principles leaning from the rest of the world what is good and what is bad.

you nail it, its foolishly easy to game the needy as there is no right to food in the constitution because apparently after the natives bailed out the hungry mayflower bunch etal the founders' forgot all about how important it is not to starve. doc desperately needs a re-write so make the wakeup call for six am please, thanks.

Attached: 2 images I end with a warning Ben Franklin issued at the 1787 Constitutional Convention. I think it describes perfectly what America is meant to resist, and what we are protesting tomorrow. NO KINGS. β€œSir, there are two passions which have a powerful influence on the affairs of men. These are ambition and avarice; the love of power, and the love of money. Separately each of these has great force in prompting men to action; but when united in view of the same object, they have in many minds the most violent effects. [P]lace before the eyes of such men a post of HONOR that shall at the same time be a place of PROFIT, and they will move heaven and earth to obtain it. … And of what kind are the men that will strive for this profitable pre-eminence, through all the bustle of cabal, the heat of contention, the infinite mutual abuse of parties, tearing to pieces the best of characters? It will not be the wise and moderate, the lovers of peace and good order, the men fittest for the trust. It will be the bold and the violent, the men of strong passions and indefatigable activity in their selfish pursuits. These will thrust themselves into your Government and be your rulers. … making our posts of honor, places of profit [will] only nourish the foetus of a KING”. β€”BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, June 1787, as recorded in John Madison’s notes of the Constitutional Convention 2/2

The next day, James McHenry, a delegate to the #ConstitutionalConvention, recorded in his diary that a lady had asked delegate #BenjaminFranklin whether the convention had established a #republic or a #monarchy. β€œA republic,” Franklin said, β€œif you can keep it.” open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Yuck.

I create a corrupt-Trump action classification called #MonkeyWrenchTheSystem and then ideas of how to do it bigly start gathering;

#MartialLaw
#ConstitutionalConvention
#ExpandSCOTUS

Others?

Thing is - the #Project2025 folk will have been gathering all these together for years I think. If so they've got a book full of them. And with action pathways attached.

Constitutional Modernization

Problems: Outdated structures not suited to modern society and technology.

Reform Focus: Consider a #constitutionalconvention or amendments to address structural inequities and modernise the framework (e.g., clear right to vote, privacy, healthcare). 12)

It's all a huge conspiracy to end America.

How a Push to Amend the Constitution Could Help Trump Expand Presidential Power

A draft lawsuit being floated to attorneys general in several states argues Congress must call a convention over the national debt. But the legal theory mixes and matches petitions from states dating back to 1789.
