Here's a new piece on #NoKings and what I think was accomplished on 18 October.
For me, it's about:
1) repudiating the moral ugliness of the regime (i.e., moral de-contamination)
2) revitalizing the rights and duties that democracy aims to instill; and
3) locking arms with one another to continue building the movement and the country we want.
Hope you'll read and share.

Trump is not only destroying American democracy, he is literally tearing down the White House:
"Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House...
"Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..."

brilliant essay: "The jagged and total nature of the onslaught against the American Republic creates a clarity: We all know what we’re talking about. You don’t need to explain. The imperfect but orderly and generally lawful old way versus this. And when you say “No Kings,” you’re saying I don’t want this. I don’t accept presidential despotism. I’m here ready to show my face and say publicly that I will never accept it." Josh Marshall

Interview: Gideon Levy explains how & why everyday Israelis deny the genocide.
In daily life in Tel Aviv, "people in the streets can hear the bombs but choose to ignore them."
"When you are brainwashed, you are not rational. You are still motivated by by this urge to punish Gaza for Oct 7 as if Oct 7 is the only crime here."

The more one learns about US history, the more clearly one sees that this is who we've always been. Trump and the MAGA movement are just the most recent outbreak of a disease that's plagued us from day 1.
I truly hope we make it through this iteration and, when we do, we (finally) demonstrate the resolve and fortitude to root out the underlying racism, sexism, xenophobia, and many other ills that allow authoritarianism to sprout over and over again.
It is not often, in this age of being ruled by fools and con men, that I read a news story that legitimately makes my jaw hang open. It takes a lot to stand out among that crowd.
But this one did it

"The East Wing as it exists today is a two-story structure[7][8] and was added to the White House in 1942 primarily to cover the construction of an underground bunker, now known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC)."

So, the #EastWing was built to protect the #POTUS from a #Nazi attack during WWII (in which the USA fought against the fascists). But now #Trump is tearing it down.
Interesting...
