“We have no kings here, we have no queens here, we have no emperors, we have no dictators, we have no despots, and we have no serfs and no slaves and no subjects, and none of us is a subject to Donald Trump. None of us is a subject to Mike Johnson. We are all citizens, those of us who aspire and attain to public office are nothing but the servants of the people. And the minute that somebody in public office thinks that they're a king, they're a queen, they're an emperor, they're a dictator, that is time for the people to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again, because the most important words of our Constitution are the three first words of the Constitution: ‘We the people.’” -- Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), at the Capitol yesterday, quoted in Heather Cox Richardson's "Letters from an American" Substack, on the events in recent days involving the thuggish ICE raids across the country, the deployment of the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles, and the assault on Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi "Border Barbie" Noem's security detail at her press conference in Los Angeles yesterday.
A reminder, if one is still needed, that there will be "No Kings" rallies in hundreds of locations across the nation tomorrow, Saturday the 14th (Flag Day!), demonstrating resistance to the dictatorial actions taking place daily by the Malignant Fascist and his thug regime.
