For those of you who do not already know it, while there is no Antifa in this country there is, or was, one in Germany after World War 2. Here is, what may be, their original logo.

Organize to Oppose Tyrrany?
draft
Should I be disappointed in my friend's failure to organize to defeat tyranny in the endless nightmare of the Trump/Republican right-wing coup d'etat and abomination? Or should I have faith that they are doing everything that they can and that in fact they are organizing behind the scenes?
Should I be disappointed that they do not involve me in their clever plans or realize that I am probably just too unreliable for them and they are keeping their own counsel?
Lets not forget that the best way to keep a secret is to not tell anyone. When I suggested that a friend add secret passages to his magnificent new house he is building with my patron, he replied that if he did he certainly couldnt tell me about it because then they wouldnt be secret anymore.
This made me sad.

Shut the Government Down Now
draft
I am perfectly OK if they shut the government down until Trump/Pence is gone, the rapist is off the supreme court, and so forth. I will vote against any representative of mine who permits this travesty to go on even one more day. Its the moral equivalent of the hunger strike in the face of gross injustice.

Letter to My Congressman Salud Carbajal
Dear Congressman Carbajal
Congratulations on your re-election to Congress! You're victory in these difficult times is a testament to your energy, your knowledge and your accomplishments.
I am new to your district and I am sure I will sound a little strident in this email, but I am extraordinarily unhappy with the events of the last two years as so many Americans are.
Please do everything you can, and be as vocal as your position permits, and make it clear that (among other things) racism is any form is abhorrent to Americans, voter suppression is not acceptable, that the supreme court and federal judges must be ethically excellent individuals and not be right wing fanatics, and crime in the government must be investigated.
Stand strong for us, sir, if you would.
Sincerely,
Michael Wahrman

The Democratic Response
draft
I want the Democrats, my party of choice, to make some clear statements. At this time, at this place, now, not later but now.
Here is what I want them to say.
Racism is not acceptable in America, in politics, in how we treat each other, in how we vote. Under any circumstances, it is not acceptable. But most of all it is not acceptable in our public officials.
The people who are nominated to be a federal judge and especially the Supreme Court must be superior ethically as well in terms of their knowledge of the law and in their judgment. They must represent all Americans, not just the extreme right wing and religious right, no matter how much they might wish it. The abuse of this system by the Republican right has endangered our entire system.
Republicans need to learn that crime is wrong and will not be tolerated. You want to spend a year studying an email server, lets investigate racist motivated voting suppression, obstruction of justice, money laundering and treason.

Donald, Why Dont You Shut Up
draft
No one believes you Donald, so why dont you just shut up. We are definitely into the next period of play. I dont know what will happen but I doubt old Donald is going to make it. At the end of the day he is not immune to all the laws of nature and politics although he thinks he is. How this will play out, and how long it will take, and what it will take to fix it if it can be fixed, is of course a mystery. It is for the Democrats and the Resistance to lose.

What I Want From the Democrats
I want my party to say 'Impeach this son of a bitch now", I want someone to say "that election was not legal", I want someone who will call out our Quisling democrats for what they are, I want someone who will say "that fascist is going to be in LA on this date, why doesnt someone go out and make his quiche a little bit less digestible".
In basketball terms, I am looking for a "full court press" here.
