I can't join any of the protest marches up here in Canada, but I do follow US news, comment, and pass it on. We have our own issues, but many are linked to the Great Orange One.
Another thing you can do is write to all of your federal elected officials and get them to start planning to move the DOJ out of the Executive Branch:
Merrick Garland was too hesitant because he didn’t want to appear to be political. Trump has destroyed the reputation of the DOJ.
In order to rescue the rule of law in America, the Department of Justice needs to be removed from the Executive Branch and become completely independent. The AG should be appointed from a list of qualified people selected by deans of law schools, then confirmed by Congress. The new agency should report only to Congress. The new AG should get a 6 to 10-year term and can't be fired by the president. All Inspectors General should report to the DOJ and not be subjected to the whims of a president. The FBI should be included in the independent DOJ. There should be NO political appointments to this department.
The lawyers in the new department should have the ability to pursue crimes wherever they occur, and not be influenced by any politician or major political donor. They should feel free to look at every branch of government, including the Supreme Court, to investigate corruption. They must be able to do unencumbered investigations of war crimes, and of sex, gun, and drug trafficking. They can break up price fixing, collusion, and other corporate crimes. They can fight all types of domestic terrorists when they have proof. The main feature is that the new DOJ would be walled off from all political influence. There would be no more charges of “weaponizing,” real or imagined.
We must do this to restore the trust that the American people have in their government. We need to know that there is equal justice before the law, and that no one is above the law, no matter how rich or well-connected, even if they hold a high office.
Note that the GA Primary Runoff is also June 16. Key Democratic races include Lt. Governor, Secretary of State, and Fulton County Commission Chair (yes, that Fulton County).
BREAKING NEWS!!! Trump replaces Bill Pulte with Vladimir Putin as Director of National Intelligence. Trump said, “I’ve known and worked with Vladimir for many years, and his incredible amount of national security expertise makes him perfect for the job.”
Mr. Putin will remain President of the Russian Federation while running U.S. Intelligence organizations. He said, “I can’t thank President Trump enough for this wonderful opportunity!”
Previous No Kings brought millions to the streets across the country and around the world. The coverage was impactful. I don’t see the same power in gathering together inside buildings for a watch party. Curious to know if others are of the same opinion.

He's making Canada great again.
I posted this link on Norm's article, but this article by Will Sommer about Pulte is just too astounding to miss. THIS is the guy who would be in charge of our entire national intelligence system? 🤦♀️https://www.thebulwark.com/p/bill-pulte-dni-director-national-intelligence-bbby-bbbyq-memestock-bed-bath-beyond-green-dildo (not behind The Bulwark paywall)
To rope a dope, he deserves incompetent and untrustworthy jerks.
