Thanx Bret, I know this is your space but right now I am watching on my laptop John Schofield Group with Nicolas Peyton live from the Detroit Jazz Festival, which has been going on all Labor Day and gotta shout out to these beautiful musicians giving it up for love, just had to say it!
Thank you for this searing piece, and for weaving in my new music video to underscore your critical message. We're at the crossroads, it's now or never.
Timely and pertinent! We do need to stand up and fight. I enjoyed the video, too, as well as ever, your message and facile articulation.
In these times, it is easy to get discouraged and assume that fascism is here to stay. But we need reminders like this that say, ultimately, the people do have the power. They cannot shut us all up. We need unity and organization before martial law becomes the norm.
We’re “Riders On The Storm” here. Headed for “Chinese Democracy”. There will be no “free and fair” or any real election. Who is surprised? This has been it the works for decades and now they are here. Heritage Foundation started their work at Hillsdale College in the 60’s. Clarence Thomas sat silent on the Supreme Court for 30 years, waiting. Trump? He’s just the figure at the head of the show. A distraction. They’re in deep, as they planned.
Oh Bret. I know you're right. I see and feel the walls closing in every day. On me. On my family. On my grandchildren's future. Stay or go? Run and hide or fight like Hell and damn the torpedos? I think it's important now for the Blue states to join forces. Everyone should stop paying federal taxes because where is our money going? ICE. To Red States that tell us every day we're communists or sexual deviants. To billionaires and Trump's pockets. What a mess the boomers have left to the world.
Sadly all too prophetic. Protesting becomes a double-edged sword because it can provide rationale for merciless retribution and malleable "truth."
Are you related to Karl?
On the Hegel side of the family.
ahhh, the logical side, touché!😎

Is it possible to nail it any more completely? Keep the hammer ready, Bret.
Outstanding outrage, framed better and more impactfully than I could write. Am passing it on to those who need to be shaken. Again and again.
