“Be strong. Be safe. Trump can't stand to be humiliated. This is what's driving his dictatorial moves. But he will overreach. He already has. And this overreach will ultimately be his undoing. As long as we keep our heads - and engage in peaceful civil disobedience.”

(FFS will you please add alt text to your posts?)

@jdeisenberg @rbreich I stopped getting people complaining about my attached images when I'd just put the text in the pic as ALT text.
@rbreich The Trump Regime has been ramping up the pressure on public sentiment ever since he usurped the Oval Office, looking for cracks... He's about to find some. People have finally had enough of him and it's going to start in LA.

That's a nice fantasy, but why push this privileged delusion when you know there is no way it's going to play out that way?

@rbreich
True but watch out for Peter Thiel's project Vance.

@rbreich

This is facile. Any reaction to any overreach on his part will now fail on the power he can wield against an insurrection. With a state of emergency declared he can rewrite laws as he goes.

Face it. The coup has happened. The dictator is here.

@rbreich

Are people willing to lay down their life or health to keep resisting?

I am.

Because they will attack any crowd of size. They will certainly begin to send in agitators, too, to whip up a frenzy and push the crowd forward to the police line...

@Sfwmson @rbreich How many arrests in Wshngtn DC next Saturday?

@MrEdgarBass @rbreich

I wonder if they will call out the military for a crowd that big.

@rbreich
Until he decides that civil is still not enough.
@rbreich I agree fully. Don't give into the childish desire for violence. Use peaceful large and most importantly sustained protests to show that Trump's acts have no social legitimacy with the people.
@rbreich An average day must be exhausting for a man that constantly humiliates himself. Running out of other people to blame would be a big worry, because then there'd only be one person left to hold accountable.

Be strong. Be safe.
Trump can't stand to be
humiliated. This is what's
driving his dictatorial moves.
But he will overreach. He
already has. And this
overreach will ultimately be
his undoing. As long as we
keep our heads - and engage
in peaceful civil disobedience.

@rbreich

As David Sirota points out, the protests will fail unless people organize behind a platform. Otherwise, all the protest amounts to is complaining and complaining is not a strategy.

@rbreich This aged terribly, he is already wanting to deploy the army to prevent civil disobedience
