A “big tent” coalition to defeat The Regime? Fine. But if we want a real democracy, ditch that metaphor for a better one: “build a better mousetrap.” Also: it’s time to force Congress’s hand on impeachment. Plus: a starter list of “know your rights” resources. www.charlesbursell.com
YouTube pundits, stop pretending you’re journalists and join the revolution. Real news media with actual journalists, declare the administration a rogue regime and cover it accordingly. Also, which Repugs to pressure on impeachment. www.charlesbursell.com
The fascist Regime continues its authoritarian agenda in defiance of Congress, the courts, international law, and public opinion. Impeachment is the only solution at this point. Luckily, Charles Bursell has a plan! www.charlesbursell.com
The Regine has crossed a red line by tossing innocent people into foreign concentration camps, brazenly defying orders from the nation’s highest court, and offering only obvious lies and propaganda in defense. Now is the time for Americans to show their contempt and bring down the Orange Menace. World Day of Action is Saturday April 19th. www.charlesbursell.com
It’s entirely possible that within days the Insurrection Act and even Martial Law will be deployed in order to terrorize immigrants and suppress peaceful protest. Without panicking, the pro-democracy resistance must plan strategy and tactics going forward. www.charlesbursell.com
The Regime is openly preparing for violence against street protesters. As such, it is time for mass consumer boycotts and labor strikes to take a central role in the movement. For that, we’ll need a strong foundation of mutual aid. What is Mutual Aid? This episode provides an overview. www.charlesbursell.com
Now that we can stop wetting ourselves over tariffs (or can we?) let's try to get clear-eyed about our current dire situation. Convicted felons are openly discussing war crimes in the Oval Office, the cold-as-ICE American Gestapo is running amok, and The Supreme Court is playing hide-and-seek with the Constitution. It’s time to do our homework on mutual aid and make some tangible plans for resisting state violence. www.charlesbursell.com
The whole damn government is burning while Democrats, media, and major institutions watch helplessly. Good. Let them all go down together. They’re responsible for the rot that bought us here in the first place. www.charlesbursell.com
With a stunning Wisconsin win, Cory Booker’s dramatic filibuster, raucous Town Halls and rallies, and an unbeaten streak in the courts, the resistance is having a watershed moment. Seemingly undeterred, the Regime continues its constitutional crime spree, its dangerous financial and foreign policies, and appears now, in its own defining moment, to be openly planning for violence. www.charlesbursell.com
We in the pro-democracy movement need to state our demands strongly and clearly. Here are my top ten suggestions. Spoiler alert, number one is impeachment. Also: perjury, war powers, and bad grammar in Signalgate. And: the courts are with us so far. www.charlesbursell.com
