With MLK day tomorrow, I decided to read about the Silent Protests that were used and landed on A Guide to Peaceful Protesting designed to utilize especially under repressive regimes or strict laws where speaking out can lead to immediate crackdowns and arrests. I'm providing a link to this here because what is happening at Minneapolis protests feels like a stick of dynamite right now - no organization....it's all over the place, when with some changes through an organized effort, they could completely disarm the ICE agents and send strong messages with wordless protests. From what I saw today, it's pretty sporty out there and trouble could ignite any minute. Try another approach.
Vote them all out, democrats and republicans alike with the few exceptions of AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Jamie Raskin et al who stand for something. As the saying goes, “ if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything”. We need more courage, the willingness to fight for justice, compassion and honesty in the House and Senate. These folks have sold us out. We are losing our healthcare, paying higher prices at the grocery store, and facing the corruption of our elections. When is enough enough. I stand with Rick Wilson and all his followers for a path that leads us out of this insanity. I would propose a law that takes away taxpayer funded healthcare to Congress.
Good point! Pressing those now in power for at least speaking out about the funding of ICE is a start toward bringing up issues about violating free speech and assembly.
I'm far less interested in slagging off the Democrats for having the unmitigated audacity to be in the minority without a lot of power. I'm not interested in virtue signaling points.
I'm interested in our Job One: Winning the midterms by the largest possible margins. Trashing the entire party with a Justice Democrats-style meta-critique, no matter how theoretically justified, will make that job more difficult for us, not easier.
In psychology, the term “Running Amok” is ‘a syndrome describing sudden, explosive, murderous rampage by individuals, often men, following brooding ….and now seen as a pattern of extreme violence or other extreme outbursts. While commonly used casually for anything out-of-control, its clinical meaning involves severe violent episodes, linked to underlying issues like psychosis or personality disorders.’
Trump is a mixture of personality disorders since early in life, and being left untreated and unchecked, they have gotten worse and more dangerous. Someone can sound rational and still be mentally ill. (It may be a common misconception to think that the mentally ill sound like babbling idiots sitting in a corner speaking to visual hallucinations.)
I believe trump has run amok. He has been brooding for years while living in NYC, not being accepted among the city elite. He has lead a one man propaganda machine regarding his wealth and importance for years while there.
Having lost the 2020 election was something he could not be would not accept for himself and so he thought up this huge counter attack regarding the election being stolen. He has to believe it because in his mind he is the greatest and losing was an impossibility for him. Whether he knows this is a lie or not is irrelevant.
So he plotted his revenge with the help of Steven Miller and the Heritage Foundation and gathered the billionaire class and the spineless politicians to join his coalition to get even, not only with his political enemies, but the country who voted against him. We are now living in his world of retribution. He would rather see the world burn into ashes and rule over that than give in to the truth, which he will never accept. We are dealing with a very sick man in our Whitehouse and people seem to be oblivious to this fact.
The Democrats are desperately afraid to use their power. They have become a reactive body. And that's all they know how to do and they're not interested in developing any new tools for this paradigm we're stuck in right now.
My city is complying in advance. I’m sick. “At the Dec. 17 session it was announced that Silverton Police Department officers have been advised to turn off their body cameras if they happen upon or are called to an ICE enforcement.” ~ Our Town, Jan 2026
Here’s a related story from Public Source of Pittsburgh. The borough council of a Allegheny County PA municipality immediately adjacent to mine voted on Thursday to rescind a so-called 287(g) agreement with ICE to provide funding to the police force in exchange for cooperation. Funding would include pay for training and overtime and new equipment. Another municipality with the same agreement was noted though its solicitor denied such an agreement. Another Public Source story cited two more Pittsburgh municipalities that the story claimed had made the same agreement. If ICE approached at least four municipalities in Pittsburgh for cooperation in exchange for funding, (which in fairness to the municipalities would have been acceptable in normal times), how many of the Allegheny County’s 130 municipalities and nearby Beaver County’s with substantial immigrant communities were approached? Since only a handful of trips to Pittsburgh from Washington by ICE representatives would be required, one may reasonably presume the majority of them.
Lose the midstream ads. Find a different way to fund this channel. It really cheapens your message. I turned it off after the first ad. Change that or lose the narrative. Your message is serious. If you have to do an endorsement, find someone other than yourself to give it. Bad. Stop.
Thank you, for the podcast, especially now, America is at a tipping point. We The People, must continue to stand up for our country. Let’s not be afraid. There are no left wing, radicals of course. There are, gun rotating agents, they should not be even carrying guns. I guess the President has Nobel prize now.Many thanks, subscribe to Rick Wilson’s Against All Enemies. CNN reporting, that a judge haas said no weapons for ice. I expect that will be overturned, follow the money.
Thank you Rick. I agree with all you have to say about the American police state. We are living with a Gestapo police force and so much disinformation. It wears on me and my mental health. Trying to stay sane when everyone around me seems to be losing their minds.
Sadly, I don’t think you’ll be stopping anytime soon.

I'm 1000% down with that, Peggy. That's what we elect them for.

Tyranny didn't last 4 Adolf or Mussalini, it would won't last 4 DT.
Damned straight! I’ve heard some senate dems are promising MORE money to the thugs in they’ll just use body cams. Fuck that noise.
They're required to use body cams with every public encounter.
The Democrats are desperately afraid to use their power. They have become a reactive body. And that's all they know how to do and they're not interested in developing any new tools for this paradigm we're stuck in right now.
Love to hear your thoughts on Michael Cohen running to daddy Trump for a deal, pardon.
Lev Parnas has the receipts.
Parnas is about to become famous!
Michael has been very argumentative for the last week or on his Substack. It felt like something big was coming down the pipeline.

WTF? That’s crazy.
The end of the last sentence of my comment should have read “the majority of them.”
