Reply To: On Tyranny Lesson 20: Be as courageous as you can
Well said, all and excellent article Jane. This chapter highlights the need to be active and to do something to help. Every action counts and there is no judgement on what that action might be for any one person.
There is a prediction that the Insurrection Act will be invoked on April 20, with a high probability of causing a chain of events that could lead to full martial law.
Remember: there is no act too small.
As reported in Newsweek:
“…One of Trump’s first executive orders, signed the evening he took office on January 20, was titled, “Declaring a National Emergency at the Southern Border of the United States.” In the order, he said “America’s sovereignty is under attack,” due to border crossings and declared a national emergency at the southern border.
Under Section 6 of the order, Trump directs Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to submit a joint report on the border in 90 days –April 20th– including recommendations for actions that “may be necessary to obtain complete operational control of the southern border.”
He specifically cites one option—”including whether to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807.”
It is a foregone conclusion what Hegseth and Noem will recommend: exactly what Trump tells them. And Trump undoubtedly will want more power and more options, it is entirely consistent with every action he has ever taken.
