There are mass protests in Serbia right now.

There are mass protests in South Korea right now.

And yes, there are mass protests in the US right now, getting larger and larger by the week. You don’t hear much about it — the press is sheepish about covering it — but it •is• happening.

Time to show up. Over and over.

If Congress doesn’t have the power of the purse and the courts don’t have the power of law, then our system of checks and balances crumbles and the US constitution is finished.

Either the administration faces immediate and overwhelming resistance to this, or democracy in the US is over.

The Trump administration has twice in the past week illegally disappeared people ••in open defiance of a court ordering them to stop••.

If you were still somehow waiting for them to cross a bright line — if somehow what’s already happened wasn’t enough — this is your bright line.
