SCOTUS will not save us. To the contrary, SCOTUS will continue to facilitate Trump’s power grabs. Congress will not save us. To the contrary TheGOP congress does nothing that Trump does not want. Our largest companies and business institutions will not save us. To the contrary, Trump will use regulatory extortion to pressure private employers to silence anti-Trump voices within their workforces. (If you want to keep your job, you’ll need to STFU.)
Nobody else will save us. “We, The People,” will have to save ourselves. So it’s time to begin thinking of the least destructive ways that “We, The People,” can save ourselves and our Republic.
I suggest we begin staging MASS WORK STOPPAGES AND CONSUMER BOYCOTTS, with increasing frequency. First, one day a month; then, twice a month; then, one day a week; then, two days a week; then, three days a week. On the “days off,” we should engage in no economic activity. Don’t work, don’t shop, don’t invest, don’t stream TV. Stay home and spend time with your family or visit with your neighbors or stay in bed all day with your spouse or lover. (They can’t arrest us for that, can they?)
Our core power as citizens of a commercial republic is as economic actors acting collectively.
A strategy of mass work stoppages and consumer boycotts requires individuals to take risks—even to risk possibly losing their jobs. We can do this without violence, but not without risk. Everyone can’t do everything, but everyone should do everything they can, consistent with the courage of a free citizen who is willing to take a risk to help preserve our republic.
“We, The People,” have the power to save ourselves. Now it’s a matter of courage and collective action.
I hope Jim Comey, Adam Schiff and every single person this regime, and it’s toddler dictator, pursues, fight these “trumped up” charges, pushing back as hard as possible! Enough of HIS “revenge and retribution tour!” No sane adult behaves this way, and no real FUNCTIONING government allows someone like HIM to run wild wasting resources and revenue in pursuit of hurting supposed “enemies!” However possible we have got to block, and derail them all at every turn! Thanks for keeping us posted Miles…saw you last night on Jen’s show…stay safe!!!
This is a nightmare come to life. I trust Comey will push back with every fiber of his being.
Perilous times!

And remember these fights take money for legal representation so donate where we can.
Yes Miles you do have guts. I wish you the very best...
That was powerful. Both this piece and the interview.
Good on you, Miles Taylor.
Thanks for this!
