"Oath Keepers" Is Relaunching Their Militia

Gary Wright II — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 15:06:47 -0500

Their leader Stewart Rhodes was serving an 18-year sentence for seditious conspiracy until Trump pardoned him. Now, Rhodes is reactivating his militia in the hopes that Trump will put them into action to go after immigrants. This group was already dangerous, but if they get a blessing (and promises of a pardon) from Trump, then all hell is going to break lose in our communities. Trump has been itching to use the Insurrection Act, but our protests up to this point have been non-violent. These violent militia groups need to be infiltrated and shut down immediately! Their ultimate goal is to start a civil war.

Supreme Court: Weimar Redux

Gary Wright II — Sun, 02 Nov 2025 11:38:45 -0500

This comparison of SCOTUS to the Reichsgericht is accurate. Our judicial crisis has led to an autocratic Potemkin Democracy, and I'm not sure how we're going to fix it. If you take a look back at the Supreme Court's actions both in Trump's first term and now his second term, it is scary how quickly our government has collapsed.

Red Alert on Trump Autocracy

Gary Wright II — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 18:07:37 -0400

The New York Times Editorial Board has an Autocracy Tracker article about how there are twelve categories of an autocracy, and Trump has completed all twelve. We're quickly losing our rights and our democracy is at stake. The NYT is behind a sign-up/paywall, but there's a link to it in this Daily Beast article that has all the details:

First Amendment Cases

Gary Wright II — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 10:25:38 -0400

Our First Amendment is the most sacred to me, because those freedoms are what allow us to keep all of the others from being taken away. Unfortunately, the courts and Trump have been ripping up the First Amendment in too many cases to name. We are in great danger! Just to give you a taste of what's going on, here are over 150 free speech cases that the ACLU is fighting in court right now (with many more in the works).

Section 1033 Inventory of Military Surplus Transferred to Police

Gary Wright II — Fri, 17 Sep 2021 13:45:09 -0400

Under Section 1033, over 8,000 police agencies received a total of $7.4 billion in surplus military equipment. They aren't properly trained to use it and it doesn't need to be in their hands, so we need to take back every bit of it! ⚖️

Unrig The Courts

Gary Wright II — Sun, 05 Sep 2021 14:56:13 -0400

We not only must unrig the courts for the sake of women's health care, but these dangerous courts will dismantle the rest of our democracy. We are out of time because redistricting has already started! We must immediately expand the US Supreme Court to 13 Justices, while rebalancing all of the lower courts.
