The question is excellent as an introduction and a sign off! Can it be that so many are in a “too little, too late” syndrome of despair and confusion? The outpouring on No Kings Day demonstrated a righteous rage that could inspire 500X within the US and worldwide taking to the streets. Enough, as you say, to make it impossible for the normative bourgeois rule of law governing fascist regime to operate. To that end I say, Trump Must Go Now.

I have seen how today's trajectory is making nomads out of more and more people.

This doesn’t answer your question, but I’ll mention it anyway:

As you know, Chicago’s Palestinian community has been in the streets at least weekly since October 2023. Their message is focused on the US funded genocide, but some of the speakers at the rallies present the genocide as a problem created by capitalism/imperialism.

At the last two rallies I attended (Saturday, 6/21, & Monday, 6/23) there was a group with a huge “Stop The Trump Agenda” banner. I haven’t spoken to those involved with that group yet. Are you familiar with them?

Chicago’s Jewish Voices for Peace chapter has had rallies and vigils scheduled every day this week.

Paul, could you address the question of if the idiot criminal Trump could be removed from office, would the ambitious black maga Vance be even more dangerous to our democracy?
