I write, edit, read, and feed my cat and grown moochers. In the summer, I sleep in my DIY campervan in beachy places. I sing, act, and make music when I can. I'm learning the fiddle. tammymckillip1.substack.com/profile…

Most people do not yet realize that we are already in a fascist dictatorship. The Supreme Court and the Congress have lain down. Media and corporations are bending the knee. Trump is consolidating his power, violating laws and the Constitution, and people are huddling in fear. 😥

Rep. Joe Wilson, Ranking Member on the House Committee on Armed Services, just released a statement on Russia attacking our #NATO ally #Poland with Iranian shahed drones.
Joe Wilson
@RepJoeWilson

Russia is attacking NATO ally Poland with Iranian shahed drones less than a week after President Trump hosted President Nawrocki at the White House. This is an act of war, and we are grateful to NATO allies for their swift response to war criminal Putin's continued unprovoked aggression against free and productive nations. I urge President Trump to respond with mandatory sanctions that will bankrupt the Russian war machine and arm Ukraine with weapons capable of striking Russia. Putin is no longer content just losing in Ukraine while bombing mothers and babies, he is now directly testing our resolve in NATO territory. Putin stated that "Russia knows no borders." Free and prosperous nations will teach Russia about borders.

One of the key points of non-violent direct action is to force the authorities to stop you -- to force their hand, to make them arrest you, and yes, perhaps even make them lash out in violence -- and to broadcast those images to an otherwise apathetic public. Be confrontational, not compliant.
