Trump has just
declared a national emergency to satisfy
his whim of an expensive, unnecessary, vile wall he justifies by
a humanitarian crisis he himself created.
There is a
petition to Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House and The United
States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
calling on Congress to stop this fake national emergency and
take action against Trump's racist and anti-immigrant policy.
Please add your name to the petition.
We must stop
Trump; his "national emergency" to build his wall is the act of
a would-be tyrant. It is no exaggeration that if we do not stop
him now, we may lose whatever democracy we have been able to
build in the 242 years this country has existed. We must do this
immediately.
Please join
the National Mobilization Against Trump's Power Grab this
Presidents Day, Monday
February, 18 at noon local time.
Pledge
to attend at: crisisresponse.us
/ details about
individual events will be posted here by Saturday morning.
How serious the situation is cannot be overstated. The Atlantic is very clear about this
warning among many other threats that:
1. The moment
the president
declares a “national emergency”—a decision entirely within his
discretion—he is able to set aside many of the legal limits on
his authority. (This is especially likely with a Supreme Court
heavy with his ilk of fascists ready to do his bidding.)
2. The president could seize control of U.S. internet traffic, impeding access to certain websites and ensuring that internet searches return pro-Trump content as the top results including social-media platforms. The government could monitor emails or prevent them from reaching their destination. It could exert control over computer systems (such as states’ voter databases) and physical devices (such as Amazon’s Echo speakers) that are connected to the internet.
3. The president can readily call in military participation in police activity and deploy troops inside the United States to suppress any citizens' protest.
