Your friends describe you as having a clinical allergy to corruption and autocrats. For every allergy, there is an antidote. You have found yours in speaking out boldly. As an ordained minister, I talk frequently about trying to channel “my inner Dietrich Bonhoeffer.” I believe you are channeling your inner Vaclav Havel. You do it brilliantly! Thanks to you and others, the resistance is growing.

The continuing unfolding of corruption in the Trump administration has been frightening and abhorrent. So, too, is the support of each and every legislator who has lent their hand and voice to his effort. These are not patriots, they are sycophants who want to take our country back to a time when people of color didn't matter and when women didn't matter - when only the powerful mattered. They want to cling to the power they think they have, and make our country into their narrow vision of what they want.

Your bravery in the face of the horrid adversity of this regime is an example of what we all should be doing - standing up and speaking out loudly in whatever manner we are able.

It is up to US, the American people, to wrest power away from Trump and his minions. With our millions of voices, we can make it clear that the power of the people is greater than the people in power.

Exactly. It's not just the Felon. It's GOP Congressional members who do nothing about the Felon's lawlessness. It's the six Christian Nationalists on the Supreme Court who unconstitutionally provided Presidential immunity and continue to allow the Felon's lawlessness in their rulings concerning the firings of Head/Chairs/members on independent agencies, calling political gerrymandering Constitutional (Alito going so far as to say Black Americans vote Democratic anyway), allowing racial profiling, allowing the jailing of US citizens without charge...

Great article Miles! This needs to be spread far and wide. It is awesome that we have many brave souls now speaking out about the corruption in the DOJ!

Miles, maybe you shouldn’t have but I’m thankful you shared your opinion. For all the darkness in our country, there are a few who provide a ray of hope & back that up with action. I’ve been accused of being angry, damn right I’m angry at the blatant corruption & willful ignorance of those serve a dictator who cares only about himself while creating calamity for everyone else. Retribution is coming, I can feel it.

just like the trump gang, we must have all treason trials precooked so we're ready to escort them to prison within days...

thanks to your allergy, (to corruption and despotic bullies...and prolly all forms of excrement associated with the trump criminal cult), we are able to anticipate the treason trials to come (and hopefully zero bidenesque niceness will get in the way...)... just rapid fire cases and judgements within the first 9 months....these criminals should not be allowed on the streets...ever again....

we must all resist like its germany 1939....there's our whole country at stake if we don't resist... wear anything that visibly tells others that u are in the resistance, and that none of us are alone....

viva resistencia. vive la resistance. samud.
