i mean, if the rules now are that any foreign power can just up and capture/kill a head of state they don't like, what might be the list targeting trump?

If you are a non-US resident bitching about how US citizens need to do more to stand up to political fiasco we are facing, STFU.
You cannot possibly know what US citizens en masse are doing based on your hit-or-miss reports from a very few locations.
Look, if you wouldn't travel to a high-risk area of the world where foreign tourists are likely to be targeted, then don't travel to the US.
The current US administration has made it abundantly clear that you will be targeted financially (in the best scenario) or physically with or without legal justification (in the worst scenario).
The president just took the whole tariff schtick to another level: now it applies to 'foreigners" willing to buy US goods/services inside the US.

ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIESI'm late with my #NoKings photos, busy day yesterday
This is in a suburb of #Rochester #NY #NewYork #RochesterNY
So not the main show center city, and Rochester is a minor city in the #USA
It's hard to photograph without elevation: one side of a road of protesters, stretching 1-2 miles
In one suburban location, of which there were many packed locations around Rochester
Which, again, is a small, minor #US city
here's a cheap panorama attempt:

Diligence JonesPeople: Your signs are cute but what's your plan?????? What are you going to doooooo?
BIPOC Communities: We're organizing, mobilizing, and getting ready.
People: But I don't see you doing it. What are you *doinngggggg*? What's your plan?
This is what a lot of snooty fucking lefty bros/people sound like. Like, bro, wtf are YOU doing?
Folks demanding a plan like they want to copy someone else's homework.
Fuck, *do your own homework.*
Yesterday, I listened to a tiny trabajadora describe in Spanish the work she and the other trabajadores are doing to protect each other while ICE kidnaps them and decimates their families. She asked for people to join them and help them.
THAT'S THE FUCKING PLAN.
FUCK.
Ypipo, man.
FUCK! What are you looking for? Some Project 2025-like outline for a radically different social order? No one has time for that! FUCK.
Happy Sunday.
No one deserves to be shot to death.
Not children at school
Not people at worship
Not politicians at home or traveling to reach out
Not public figures, no matter how much i dislike their positions
That being said... sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.
If you encourage social violence against those you disapprove of, how could you expect any other result?
This coming Saturday, June 14: No Kings Day sites in NJ:
Look, I never attended a rally, march or protest. But it just gets clearer with every passing news cycle that we are headed for crisis if we don't do something.

This piece by Asha Rangappa about the relationship of Bukele (El Salvador), MS-13, and Trump left me gob-smacked:

Whether or not the federal courts can obtain the details of Trump's agreement with Bukele, Congress certainly can. And must.
Today we are having damp, chilly weather after a couple of early warm and sunny Spring days.
So now my cats are acting like they are trying to survive the Shackleton Expedition.
