POST 1185
First, Minnesota
A thug murdered three Minnesotans, two of them Democratic state legislators. This should come as no surprise, since Trump has been calling since 2015 for violence against Democrats, progressives, protesters and anyone who disagrees with him about anything. He claims to be “your retribution” against “those others.” So of course some wing nut listened to him and took action, perhaps expecting to be pardoned by Trump.
This is just today’s chapter in Trump’s program of I Don’t Care, So Death To You.
To The National Brother/Sisterhood/Childhood of Immigrant Workers
.
Yesterday there was a massive national demonstration, an opposition, a revulsion, the rejection of the tyrant’s attack and his anti-America corruption of the values we hold dear. Indeed, our immigrants, whether documented or not, came here to live by those values and they and we won’t stand for this vile little man’s evil.
This President has unleashed his attack thugs, masked gunmen bearing no identification, no badge of any kind, carrying no arrest warrants and exercising no concern for innocent people. He dispatched them with instructions to kidnap anyone who they think looks like they might be in America without documentation – that means Black and Brown people. They select kidnap victims based on their ignorance.
They have arbitrarily claimed thousands of people to be criminals. They have arrested citizens of the United States with the same right to be here as any of us. They possess no evidence of anyone’s wrongdoing and act in the total absence of due process rights. In short, they are thugs acting illegally at the order of a lawless president and you, immigrants, are their primary target.
Demonstrations against this lawlessness are powerful and good, but it will take more for the American public to become fully aware of what these illegal actions mean to Americans. They don’t realize that they themselves will feel the effects of this. They don’t realize that one day the tyrants will run out of Black and Brown people to abuse and others will be next to be labeled enemies. That’s what tyrants always do.
That is why I’m calling for an ad hoc action, a labor strike, to make clear how Trump’s White, Non-At-All-Christian actions will impact everyone. Specifically, I’m calling on:
hotel and restaurant workers
construction laborers
domestic workers
garment workers
farm workers
landscapers
day laborers, like the folks who hang out early in the morning at Home Depots and 7-11s hoping to earn a day’s pay
It’s time to take a stand, so immigrant workers:
DO NOT SHOW UP FOR WORK THIS THURSDAY OR ANY THURSDAY UNTIL THIS CRUELTY STOPS.
.
Maybe some of the White privilege people who whine and moan their “Replacement Theory” lunacy will show up in California’s Central Valley to do stoop labor, like picking strawberries and lettuce. Maybe they’ll do the work of moving heavy wheel barrows full of cement or removing debris from construction sites. Maybe they’ll scrub the pots and pans in a hot commercial kitchen 14 hours a day, or clean befouled hotel rooms left by hotel guest slobs. Maybe they’ll scrub the floors of rich people’s homes.
But none of that is ever going to happen. Here’s what will happen.
None of those angry, privileged White guys will show up to do the hard work our immigrants do every day. Housing construction will slow to a halt, restaurants will close their doors and produce bins in grocery stores will be empty. And there will be a lot of hotel rooms that don’t get cleaned and landscaping around rich guys’ houses will become nothing but weeds.
It’s time to make the point to all American citizens that their way of life is dependent upon the hard working immigrants to this country and that those tax paying immigrants are a major part of the reason for hope for this nation.
Immigrants to America Unite!
You have nothing to lose but the threat of deportation to a torture concentration camp, never to see your family again.

Memo To Silent Americans
.
Turn off the ignorant and the stupid.
.
Treasonous Americans are trying to steal your country, your values, your freedom, your future and your hopes for your children.
They tried an insurrection to murder leaders and take over your government, killing and maiming cops and befouling our Capitol Building.
Trump pardoned the convicted criminals, enabling them to continue to conspire to overthrow us.
The Supreme Court gave the president the right to break our laws with impunity.
Trump and his criminal suck-ups are moving every day to use our military to take action against you and make this a police state.
THAT WILL BE THE END OF YOUR FREEDOM!
.
DO NOT sleepwalk through reality. DO NO be an existential threat to the United States of America through passivity. DO NOT tolerate the murderous Oath Keeper criminals, the DOGE flying monkeys who stole your personal information and the lying Trump bastards violating your Constitution and your rights every day.
Wake up!
.
America isn’t about any king.
It is about We The People.
We declare that in no uncertain terms right here.

Pics From The Highland Park NO KINGS Event
Yes that Highland Park. July 4, 2022. 7 killed, 48 wounded. Still this little village turned out over 3,000 yesterday to tell everyone that we will not have a king. We will not tolerate cruelty to anyone. The Law is the law and nobody is above it. Those sentiments were on display in over 2,160 locations nationwide with attendance in the millions.
Paraphrasing Winston Churchill’s address to the House of Commons in the darkest days of the blitzkrieg of the Battle of Britain, June 4, 1940:
We shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight them in the fields and in the streets. We shall fight them in our town squares, we shall fight them in the hills. We shall never surrender. We shall fight them in our state houses, we shall fight them in our Congress. We shall fight them in our courts and we shall fight them in our voting booths. We shall rescue and liberate ourselves from their cruelty to carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, we restore our promise of America.

Thank you to the residents of America who spent their Saturday stipulating what they feel is wrong in America and its government. You are, by any measure, HEROES. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Thanks, Jack. I was thinking of you when I attended our own modest “No King’s Day” event in our smallish community of Southern Pines, NC. It was the largest protest I’ve ever seen here, which was encouraging.
