“The best strategy Americans have right now is to make it impossible for Trump to contest the next election at all, by calling for his resignation — now. That should have happened long ago. Like I said, no other rich nation, and not even most poor ones, would have tolerated what Trump’s gotten away with to date, and I don’t mean the small abuses of power, like bribery and playing golf while the nation burns, I mean the big ones, like camps, Gestapos, storm troopers, and mass death. “How is this lunatic still in power?!,” the entire world asks, baffled. “Why don’t Americans remove him?” You don’t have to wait for an election that’s going to be rigged, manipulated, terrorized, and hijacked. You can demand a failed President resign now. If Americans don’t begin calling for Trump to resign, in a powerful mass movement, then the next six [three] months, after all, are eminently predictable. —Umair Haque, ‘American Democracy will die in 100 days.’ https://link.medium.com/1LuxkiiRw8 #RESIGN! #umairhaque #trump #fascisttrump https://www.instagram.com/p/CDQOR5AphD7/?igshid=7du42xatxqu5

"What is happening in Greece is not just a travesty. It is a tragedy. Not of the naive kind: where a character flaw causes a downfall. But a true and great tragedy. One that is as unjustifiable as it is needless.

But. The myths, half-truths, and sheer nonsense, swirling around the key issues obscures this simple reality. So in this short essay, I’m going to reveal precisely how and why, by debunking seven key myths."

And make no mistake--this is revolt; insurrection against a monstrous, barbaric status quo that's failed too many, too deserving, for too long--while serving too few, too undeserving, far too well. It is not in the nature of man or beast to stay yoked to the gleaming machines of their own economic, social, and moral annihilation. Better--as perhaps Bouazizi thought--to commit the ultimate act; to choose. To choose to let loose a brutally human cry; one whose echoes might come to define a defining decade.

So well said, but then Umair tends towards well said. :)
