Billionaires are worried about the Greta Thunberg type of protesting, which, on the ground, is a modest movement. But it's subversive, it tries to cause crisis. it's a type of protest that topples power structures.

Notice how billionaires never seem to worry about branded activism like #NoKings. It's because those types of protests don't apply pressure to those who wield power.

It's shows up and it leaves quietly.

#NoKings uses "non-violence" to mean non-disruptive. But that's not how Dr. King used the term.

"Non-violence" in the Civil Rights era dictates we not retaliate violently after we disrupt the status quo. It's sitting in a "whites only" diner, disciplined not to react when coffee is thrown in our face.

No Kings has no equivalent to sitting in a whites only diner. Instead, it dictates that we stand outside with a sign demanding the things we aren't willing to take.

I want him.to take them on directly, not as entertainment. If Colbert runs for President, if he is asked by enough people to run, I would support.

No.idea what that badiclly decent kind man is doing next, but I can't wait.

Colbert wasn't fired, he was ignited.

I keep reading Letter From a Birmingham Jail. Dr. King lays out the purpose of a protest. I can't help but notice how divorced the #NoKings movement is from those tenants.

If a protest doesn't have a call to action or a means of pressure to bring decision makers to the negotiating table, then it's not a protest. It's a gathering.

I fear so much of mainstream "direct action" is a way to keep us busy and feeling accomplished. We don't know any better because we don't have real activist leaders.

Good News in Hard Times.

Whooo hooo!

ALL FIVE of Biden's giant offshore wind projects are back.

Trump cancelled all of them.

Over the last months every massive wind project has fought Trump in court. And won.

All five have been successful.
