If the oceans die, we die....

I’m awaiting my passport.Not sure what I’m gonna do. I’m a proud American. I’m not proud of what America is becoming.. I’m not comfortable with the direction my country is headed.. do I stay? Do I fight for the constitution.? For now I’m protesting. If it comes down to money or my country, I will fight for my country. At sometime in the future, it may come down to Do I survive to fight another day? Do I fight from the outside? #USA #constitution #America #republic #fascism #America #USA #rights

Trump Claims Boycotting Tesla Is Illegal, Which It Very Much Is Not
techdirt.com/2025/03/14/trump-

"Meanwhile, the anger at #Musk & #DOGE is absolutely fueling the #protests, property damage, and public outcry at #Tesla owners & dealerships...

while #Trump can’t currently punish the free public for #protesting, it’s obvious he wants to. Which means he, at least, is no longer operating under the illusion that it’s a #democracy he wants. Nor a #republic."

Headline and text from article: Trump Claims Boycotting Tesla Is Illegal, Which It Very Much Is Not from the free-speech-warriors dept Fri, Mar 14th 2025 03:18am - Timothy Geigner Elon Musk’s companies aren’t having the best couple of weeks, it seems. ExTwitter suffered from several outages this week, some lengthy, while Musk claimed that it was the result of a DDoS attack and hinted that Ukraine might be to blame. The story of SpaceX thus far in 2025 has mostly been one filled with delays, malfunctions, and the occasional explosion. Last week saw the seventh straight weekly decline of stock price for Tesla.

ok this kinda sums it all up

"The #protests come as #Democrats in #Washington have been widely #criticised for their #ineffectual response to the #Trump administration’s full-scale #assault on the administrative #state."

The Democrats have lost the #people in the #USA. They're not gonna watch silently the Trump #Junta dismantle their (!) #Republic & elect a "opposition" in 4 years.

Seems the "moderating" effect of the Democrats has vanished & people will fight.

ℹ "As a scholar of classical #antiquity and #history of political thought, I believe I am well positioned to situate the current debacle in #America with the eventual unraveling of the Roman #Republic which was once the greatest #Democracy on Mother Earth before the #Visigoths intruded upon their realm

Once, the greatest boast on #Earth was “Civis Romanus I“: I am a Roman Citizen. Such was the dignity and reverence of Roman citizenship"
