I’m someone who supports confederal municipalism. That means I support direct democracy and the dismantling and decentralization of the American government. I believe towns and cities should govern themselves and then coordinate with one another through a voluntary confederation of recallable delegates for shared matters like ecology, transit, and regional planning. We don’t need a nation-state, we need a confederation of cities and towns. #USA #politics #democracy #decentralization

Trump is no Napoleon.

Excerpt from 'Jacquard's Web' on Joseph-Marie Jacquard, who pre-dated IBM over a century in using punched cards to issue instructions to machines.

Excerpt from book 'Jacquard's Web' on Joseph-Marie Jacquard, who pre-dated IBM by over a century in using punched cards to issue instructions to machines. Quote follows.

The aspects of Napoleon’s personality and vision that mattered most to Jacquard were unconnected with the new leader's political or military success. Rather, they were related to his respect and admiration for science. This, like the intensity of Napoleons own personal ambition, lay at the core of his personality. Indeed, once Napoleon became the undisputed ruler of
France in 1799 he deliberately set out to give an enormous boost to French science and industry.

So #ICE cannot afford to rent Porta potties?

Or the manly men of #ICE need running water and mirrors in their battlefield bathrooms?

What happens to them when they invade Greenland?

Makes my soul feel good to see this kind of protest activity pissing off the bad guys. Although I'm half expecting some attempt to outlaw these frog costumes in the near future. #politics #protests
