@DavidCornDC Many of us have been aware of Trump's danger to the American people for some time, and tho he successfully tamped down the Mueller Report, it clearly paints a portrait of coordination between Trump, his campaign and Russia.
@DavidCornDC I feel like we've known this, and we certainly know that he attempted a coup of the government. I feel like a lot of people are unconsciously dissociating that memory. It happened. We know all of this. When are we going to do something about it?
@DavidCornDC Jefferson Davis received two years in prison. TWO YEARS!!! How many people died in the Civil War? As far as I'm concerned, Trump is at least that guilty . . . but Jefferson Davis deserved FAR MORE than two years!
@DavidCornDC One would think breaking the highest law in the land and massacres of genocidal proportions is a high crime deserving of the most cruel punishment in the land.
Nope. This is the United States. We punish our mass murderers with two years in prison.
@DavidCornDC This one may get away scot-free! What a precedent!
@DavidCornDC "Nope. This is the United States. We punish our mass murderers with two years in prison."
. . . but only if you're a rich, white, male politician.
@DavidCornDC Jefferson Davis went back to normal living. A god-damned, mass-murdering fuckhead former President of the most vile government conceived by man went back to drinking high-priced Scotch in fancy steamboats. Lincoln? Assassinated.
@DavidCornDC Who was the Vice President when Lincoln was shot? Andrew Johnson, a Southern Democrat. One of the first things he did was stop printing Greenbacks, if memory serves. Hobbled reconstruction. Reneged on Lincoln's promises to the liberated.
@JaymalGreen Compulsory civil service . . . just saying. It would fix the problem.
@JaymalGreen We need to offer a viable alternative vision of how we conduct ourselves with regard to the law. Well, compulsory civil service is a viable *alternative* to policing. Replace them, whole hog, at once, with a superior solution. It's a stronger argument.
@JaymalGreen Let's turn every young Chicagoan into a veteran of a new Civil Service that replaces the police. Pacifists can work in therapy and social services.
"Suffer the little children of whom we are the survivors in adulthood;
endless torture may break a person or build character;
toughen their spirit until it becomes a sword . . .
. . . steel folded over and reheated to condense the layers, the molecules to align when cooled and to cut through flesh, blood and bone until the mind is focused on clarity, this truth within spirit we call tiger-style."

@johnastoehr Maybe the non-person persons are merely protecting actual persons engaging in fraudulent, monopolistic and - frankly - immoral activities calculated to impose harm on their neighbors.
@johnastoehr We don't need "corporations," those cookie-cutter pyramids, when we can organize on our own.
@johnastoehr If every worker left at once and collectively reformed as a cooperative, every worker would make significantly more money, and everyone would receive every benefit.
