Pinky pussy hats are cleaned and ready to go. The only problem? Trump hasn’t complied. But the ‘organic non-organized’ response is ready!
We live in the era of huge, well-organized, media-friendly marches with all the trimmings. Women march. Anti-gun folks march. Now comes a planned response to something which hasn’t happened yet: President Trump’s decision to “fire” special counsel Robert Mueller.
It’s not likely to happen, judging from Mr. Trump’s recent tweet clearly indicating he had no interest in such a move — despite persistent news coverage suggesting the contrary. But should Mr. Trump show Mr. Mueller the door, MoveOn.org is ready. The progressive activist group has already organized hundreds of protest rallies and marches, and mobilized a multitude.
“Donald Trump could be preparing to put himself above the law. We won’t allow it. Trump will create a constitutional crisis if he fires special counsel Robert Mueller or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees Mueller, or attempts to compromise the investigation by other means,” MoveOn.org advises in their public outreach.
“Our response in the hours following a potential power grab will dictate what happens next — whether Congress will stand up to Trump or allow him to move our democracy toward authoritarianism. That’s why we’re preparing to hold emergency ‘Nobody Is Above the Law’ rallies around the country, in the event they are needed — 800-plus of them and counting, in every state, with 300,000 RSVPs to date!” declare the eager organizers in their public advisory.
They have 38 partners in the effort, including such organizations as Friends of the Earth, the Sierra Club, the Women’s March, Democracy 21, the Center for American Progress and such creatively named groups as Pantsuit Nation, Need to Impeach and Resistbot. They also have defined their trigger points.
