NOTICINGS: What They Do & What We Do
Track their actions. (And needing a bath afterwards.) Preparing for the road ahead.
"Golden Rule" (Do unto others), Norman Rockwell, April 1961.Drink it in.
One imagines Trump and his government, ICE, and MAGA experiencing via VR what they do. I want them to understand. Know what I mean?
In the following three examples, the SCOTUS 6 has enabled the President to do this to others as they do not do to themselves. This Wisconsin Representative (R) is enthused by today’s House vote.
Consider four defining American events. They are foundational for our next steps.
No King. The Civil War. The New Deal. Civil Rights.

In Abraham Lincoln’s inaugural address, Lincoln declared that the war was a punishment by God for American sins, but neither blame nor vengeance ought to prevail now that the war had ended "with malice toward none.” (Gilda Lehrman Collection)

For example, this is what Mobilize is doing:
“One day mass mobilizations like No Kings Day are incredible shows of movement energy, but they are, by definition, confined to a single day. To defeat MAGA, we’re going to have to mobilize more people, and we’re going to have to do it on a sustained basis. That’s where One Million Rising comes in.
“The success of an authoritarian takeover is dependent upon a population choosing to comply. It only takes a (relatively) small number of people practicing non-cooperation to make implementation of their fascist ideals impossible -- so let’s train one million. If we can motivate, train, and equip this movement in the practice of strategic non-cooperation, we can disrupt, delay, and even, at times, make it impossible for this administration to enact corrupt policy.
“We’re breaking this down into three sessions — join us for all three if you can! (Yes, they’ll be recorded if you can’t.)”

Notes
“Margaret Corbin manned a cannon at the Battle of Fort Washington in New York and lost the use of her left arm in the process. She was sent to the Corps of Invalids at West Point, where she was known in the records as “Captain Molly,” and became the first woman in American history to receive a lifelong pension for military service.”
