  • They blamed a shadowy, undefined “deep state” that was able to morph and change to be blamed for every single thing they felt was wrong with their life that has nothing to do with government.

    Now they have brash public unelected officials who publicly do everything they can to undermine the government and it turns out when you can define what these people are doing it’s easier to ignore or make excuses for them.

    While the full list of demands is still being added to, discussed, edited and submitted to a legal expert, some of our basic demands are as follows:

    Protection and permanent guarantee of civil rights for all

    Total government reform

    Publicly funded health care

    Adequate and accessible disability support and services

    A permanent solution to Homelessness, hunger and the housing crisis

    Respect and support for tribal Sovereignty and involvement with indigenous leadership for environmental action

    Enhanced enforcement of constitutional rights

    More power to american voters

    I hope they get their full demands sorted out. A protest without immediate actionable legal demands is pretty doomed from the start. Especially one that encourages it’s protestors to give something up. Unless we can have a moment where we can see a politician sign something into law the end of the protest will be vague and mired in “negotiations” until people have had enough and decide they need to start making money again without anything of consequence being accomplished.









  • Trump has said that he’s very pleased with how the negotiations went. That means he thinks he got something out of his super epic tariff strat.

    Believing that Trump wanted to impose tariffs with no expectation of retaliation and then being blindsided by the counter tariffs so he backed down is just naive. The plan was always to “negotiate”.
