Trump is so open for (corrupt) business that he’s potentially profiting millions
from a deal with a mysterious crypto company
whose owners and intentions are essentially unknown, at least to those outside Trump’s circle.
However, as is the norm under this administration, the losers are crystal clear: the American people.

Week 24: President Trump Notches Another Mysterious Benefactor
A mysterious investor is the latest entrant into the Trump crypto grift, and more stories from the MAGAswamp.

I have my share of issues with Parkrose Permaculture, but she has a lot of things I do strongly agree with. I can't stress enough that you never dehumanize your enemies. You can respond appropriately to violence. You can defend yourself from them by any means necessary. But you do not dehumanize them. You always limit your response to the minimum necessary to defend yourself.
There are a number of former Nazi skins who became antifascists after realizing they were wrong. Those folks tend to be some of the most dedicated because they feel a debt, and some of the most knowledgeable because they were there. Coming out of these types of cults, police included, is hard and takes time. A lot of us don't have the ability to work with them. But some do.
By repeatedly humanizing your opponent, you can break some of them. The #Seattle Police Department was not defunded but saw a massive reduction in numbers because their morale was destroyed. Some people will never change. Some people are broken and feel like they need the power. But if you change one person's mind, even give them something to think about, it's a crack. If even one cop quits, that's one less trained gun pointed at you in the future.
The 18 year old marines and federalized national guard troops out there are literally kids. A lot of them came from poor communities. They are being used in a way they haven't been trained to do, doing things they (should) have been told are not legal. They joined to get out of poverty, to go to college, or to "defend the American people" (regardless of how misguided that is). Few, if any, of them joined to abuse people. They will be especially open to persuasion.
Remind those troops that they are carrying out illegal orders, that they are being called on to violate their oath to protect the constitution, that they are suppressing the free speech of the fellow Americans they swore to defend. Remind them that the people they could be illegally arresting now are just like their parents, their neighbors, their families, the friends who didn't join. Remind them that this is the first step. They will be called on to kill Americans if they let this keep going.
Remind them ICE sleeps in hotels while they sleep on the ground. Remind them that their drunk and incompetent leadership thinks of them as disposable tools. Remind them that some of these people are out protesting *for them* against cuts to the VA and other services. Remind them that the people they're defending refuse to make college free so they can recruit from poor schools. Remind them that they will always be welcome when they're ready to join the side of freedom and justice.
When you dehumanize your enemies, you unify them. When you humanize your enemies, you can divide them. There is no weapon available to us right now so powerful as compassion.

Slogan ideas welcome too. A few I've been thinking of:
- "Impeach Trump/Abolish ICE/Abolish DHS" - simple, helps build momentum towards at least one specific demand which IMO the movement could use pretty soon.
- "If you separate my family I'll separate yours/As you ride to snatch children are yours safe at home?" - maybe too many words, but inspires fear/defection in ICE other troops, which IMO the movement needs more of. Hopefully too vague to be a criminal threat or incitement (especially version with the conditional?).

‘c’: More Than Just Fast as We Unpack the Universe’s Master Constant
Let's dive into the universe's ultimate speed limit: the speed of light. It's a concept so fundamental that it underpins much of modern physics, yet so mind-bogglingly fast that, as you say, human intuition struggles to truly grasp it. We call it 'c', and its value in a vacuum is precisely 299,792,458 meters per second. That's not just an estimate; since 1983, the meter has been precisely defin…

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Army is fitting.
But the Army doesn’t need to celebrate Donald Trump.
That’s what’s about to transpire in the shadow of the White House
— a ridiculous, self-aggrandizing display that would look right at home in Moscow or Tiananmen Square.
It should not happen here. Ever.

Trump, who has long maligned the military, suddenly cozies up to it

For various reasons I'm probably not going to be at any Saturday protests for long, but I'm thinking about buying & dropping off some supplies to support them:
- Bottled water and/or electrolyte drinks.
- Slats, posterboard, markers, and stapler to let people who show up without a sign make their own.
Anyone else got good ideas or planning on doing supply runs?

The justification that Trump used to claim (illegally) federalize the California National Guard and deploy the marines is from 10 U.S. Code § 252:
> Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.
Specifically he's called out the "make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States."
Trump cannot legally hold office because of his participation in an insurrection. Trump should have been impeached and removed on day 1 of his first administration based on the Emoluments clause. Trump colluded with Russia to manipulate the election, so even his swearing in was a failure of the US government to "enforce the laws of the United States." The supreme court justices he appointed explictly undermined and continue to "make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States," as with all of his appointees. The troops he has federalized remain deployed, even after being declared illegal.
When, then, do we call the entire time since January 20th, 2017 to now an insurrection and his government an illegal assembly? Who will order them to "disperse?"

An alternative and more radical reading would be that the US government conquered indigenous nations and the failure of the US government to maintain legitimacy means a default return of authority to those nations. You know, default to #LandBack.
But, again, I don't actually believe in the justification for authority that took the land in the first place so that's an idea for someone else to explore.
Perhaps those #50501movement folks, or people who actually *believe* in America might find value in contemplating some of these ideas as they face down their dictator.

LA protester charged with assaulting officer says he was the one attacked: ‘I thought I was going to die’ | Los Angeles Ice protests | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/13/protester-charged-ice-los-angeles

I rode 11.8 miles today. Went to Firefly Grove Park in Wauwatosa where they have a pump track and talked to two of the guys using it.
One really wanted me to try, and offered his bike as well, but after riding there uphill most of the way for 4 miles I said "I'll just watch you guys!" so I did.
I did ride on the smaller part of the track, and I can see the appeal, with the right bike.

It seems like, again, just following the plain logic of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence (which, again, I do not subscribe to), that every law passed under Trump, every supreme court justice appointment by Trump, every supreme court ruling by Trump appointed justices, all the illegal firing, etc, must all, necessarily, be null and void.
And if not following from the insurrection act, or from the oath of office, then following from the Declaration of Independence itself. The logic here being that a constitution is a contract between the people and their government, which the later upholds in order to maintain its legal status. The violation of said laws by the government violates "consent of the governed" (which, again, I have issues with the concept entirely but we're just going to ignore that) and therefore nullifies the authority of that government, granting " the right of the people to alter or to abolish it."
That seems a lot like the hard reset some folks have been looking for. Given that existing flaws allowed this state to be reached, it would also be necessary for the true authority to correct those mistakes before assuming authority that derives from these principles.
Now, personally, I don't subscribe to any of this logic but it's interesting to explore, as an outsider, where the logic goes.

US Marines Set To Take Over Operations In Los Angeles - Joe.My.God.
https://www.joemygod.com/2025/06/us-marines-set-to-take-over-operations-in-los-angeles/

Now personally, I'm not invested in the law and I reject the logical underpinnings of the whole thing. The US is founded on land that already had people on it, that already had multiple systems of authority, so there can be no claim that it has any legal authority to exist at all.
But it's hard to ignore the inconsistency here. Accepting the logic from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, there is no way in which the current state can be legitimate and which Trump has the authority to do anything. The last legal president, again, following the logic that assumes such a thing even possible, was Barak Obama. Since the transfer of power, the country has failed to enforce the law.
If the executive cannot complete their oath, then they are considered vacant under the 25th amendment. If the cabinet fails to invoke article 4, then they too are involved in the insurrection (again, simply following the logic outlined pretty clearly here) as are any who would fail to support the invocation.
Since a full takeover of the federal government by insurrectionists wasn't really planned for, I'm guessing that it would necessarily go to the states, being the only remaining legal authority.

The supreme court justices he appointed explictly undermined and continue to "make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States," as with all of his appointees. The troops he has federalized remain deployed, even after being declared illegal.
When, then, do we call the entire time since January 20th, 2017 to now an insurrection and his government an illegal assembly? Who will order them to "disperse?"

I think it's a generally bad thing that I've referenced a specific Nazi death camp in reference to #USPol so often that I was thinking "oh, I should probably just bookmark this." I think that's a bad sign and I don't like it.
